Damon knows Stefan isn't there to give a pep talk and asks what he wants. Stefan comes right out and asks him if he knew an Isobel in North Carolina -- from Duke. Damon has no clue, so Stefan suggests this girl is someone he killed. Damon: "Oh, it's like a needle in a haystack, Stefan." Whee! Stefan insists that this information is important. Damon leans in too close, and whispers in his brother's ear: "Nothing is important, not anymore." He must be blocking out Elena for the moment. Anyhow, Damon then pats Stefan on the shoulder and retrieves his bottle. "I have to go exploit some women in the name of grief which, I'm sure, you understand." He stumbles back a few steps. "'TTFN' said the Tri-Delt." Um...okay?
Donovan Domicile: Matt and Caroline are watching TV -- and I think what sounds like a game might actually be Friday Night Lights, because I hear the name "Taylor" mentioned, and while Caroline is complaining that it's boring, Matt pretends he's tempted to put off romancing her 'til it's over, because "it's a pretty good show" (rather than game). When Matt finally kisses Caroline, he blushes, and I kind of die.
When they each rip off their shirts, I run to IMDB.com to check their birth dates, just to make sure, once again, that I'm not inadvertently watching nearly nekkid minors. Whew! Accola is almost 21 and Roerig is 25. We're not going to jail. I can't rule out Hell, though -- at least for me. Things get a little hellish for my Pudding Pop Matt too, though, because just as he and Caroline start getting hot and heavy, they're interrupted by a woman who says, "Oh, God. Not on my couch." Matt (whose pants are still on) pushes up off of Caroline to give us a look at his fine chest. "Mom. Uh...hey." Caroline cringes beneath him. Matt grabs a pillow off the sofa and uses it to cover up something I couldn't see in the first place. Caroline hides her face with her hands and waits hopefully for death as we cut to...
Mystic Falls; Downtown: Alaric helps Jenna hang up a banner announcing the "Mystic Falls Annual Founder's Day Fundraiser" which is a "Silent Auction Bachelor Raffle." It seems Alaric has gotten roped into putting himself up for bid. Jenna welcomes him to Mystic Falls, where fundraising compares to indentured servitude -- hey, that's just like our local PTA. And then they smile at each other all soft and special like they're going to kiss -- which is exactly what they do! Aww. They're both feeling it, so Jenna inexplicably announces she's going to do something to ruin the moment. She's not wrong. She tells Alaric about Elena's quest for her birth mother and asks if his Isobel could have had a baby when she was young. When Alaric's all no way, Jenna shows him the picture of Isobel and Trudie in their cheerleading uniforms. Alaric gulps and mutters something about Isobel not telling him, and then flees to deal with this new discovery.
