Grill: Caroline tries to get Matt to talk to her, but when he calls her out on lying to him about being with Bonnie, all she can do is utter a weak little, "Oh." Once Matt storms off, Ty walks in and literally bumps into Caroline, making her spill her purse. He pockets her cell phone as he helps her pick up everything, and then Caroline gets away from him as fast as she can -- because of Matt. Once she's gone, Matt approaches Ty and tells him if he wants to get together with Caroline, that's fine (liar), but they need to stop lying to him. When Tyler denies anything is going on, Matt gets a little rough with him, and oh my.
Gilbert Gables: Stefan and Elena are ready to depart for their weekend away, when Tyler, posing as Caroline, sends a text to Elena, ferreting out that she and Stefan are going to her folks' lake house. Ty reports this information to Brady, who is all ready to go get the doppelganger.
Gilbert Getaway: When our happy couple arrives at their weekend retreat, Elena is smacked in the face with memories of her late parents. Stefan offers to take her anywhere else, but she needs to be here. When she enters the lake house, Stefan is stuck outside, without an invite. Elena says she can't invite him in, because John inherited the place from her folks. Stefan's all, "You're kidding." And she totally is. Elena: "Stefan Salvatore, I hereby invite you into this home." He charges in, and when he scoops her up as he kisses her, she wraps her legs around his hips, and I'm suddenly hyper-aware that I shouldn't let my daughter watch this show. My husband tells her to leave the room. She sticks her tongue out at him. I hiss, "Shhhhh, you two. Mommy's working!" Thank goodness it's a new scene.
Mayoral Mansion; Event of the Week: Carol Lockwood introduces Elijah to Damon. The vamps glare at each other, and I don't know about you, but I think I just spiked a fever. We're not going to be able to keep Elijah, are we? Sniff.
Grill: Caroline watches from a table as Bonnie flirts up a storm with Junior Manwitch. Jeremy arrives, so Care Bear updates him on Bonnie's progress, but when she says Bonnie is giving Junior "the sex smile," Jeremy snaps, "All right, Caroline. I've got it." Caroline twigs to his crush immediately, but who wouldn't. Meanwhile, Junior sucks down his frappuccino -- his frappuccino with a shot of witch roofie, and he's going, going, gone. Jeremy hops into action and catches Junior before he hits the floor, and he, Bonnie and Caroline drag their mark out. And this scene right here, is why the episode didn't get an A+ from me. It was dumb to have this happen at the Grill, in front of a crowd. When no one notices this guy passing out and being dragged out by a bunch of teenagers, I am taken right out of the moment. They should have at least had him and Bonnie walk outside, first.
