She tells Stefan he should probably write a book and appear on The View. Heh.

Tyler is thrilled and surprised to see her there. Clearly, something happened between them when Tyler was on the run. Tyler wonders how she found him. She knows a hybrid who hangs with her pack. He told her he was headed to Mystic Falls to protect a hybrid named Tyler. That was too much coincidence for Hayley, so she decided to track him down. As she asks Tyler for some rich-people Scotch, we cut to...
