MFHS. Elena walks to the bulletin board and looks at a flyer for a Memorial in honor of the Germ. She stares at it for a moment and then rips it down. Next she turns her attention to a flyer for the Mystic Falls Cheerleading Invitational, and rips that down for good measure.
Caroline's walking down the hall under a huge "Welcome Cheerleaders" banner and leaving a voicemail for Tyler about how Elena isn't back to normal, but they're working on it. She then babbles about how she hasn't heard for him, and how she keeps leaving messages and she loves him. Matt comes up and asks if she's seen Bonnie. Caroline says something about Bonnie being drained from "everything." Matt's smile is a little off, even though his, "Can't really blame her," response seems fine. The people in our forum put this in my head and they know I resent them for it, so I'm passing on the favor to you: what if Silas is wearing Matt's meatsuit, or otherwise controlling Matt?

Number two: covering up your secret phone conversations with that little back-stabber, Hayley." Okay, the list title and the first item are funny. Damon's there to find out about Katherine, of course. Klaus is not up on my plan to ignore the fact that he hasn't already wiped out the entire Fellowship in retribution for Kol's death and grumbles about how he's totally going to get around to it. Damon pshaws him and tells him Katherine has the cure and is most likely planning to shove it down Klaus's throat. Damon proposes they work together. He'll get the cure and give it to Elena and everyone wins. He just wants to talk to Hayley. Klaus declares Hayley off-limits, but tells him how he bit one of Katherine's minions, who could probably help, were he not going to die soon. We cut to the...
