Sidebar: What the frilly heck is Isobel wearing around her neck? It's a necklace-scarf-boa-Christmas tree tinsel garland, not to mention bad taste incarnate, but it really brings out the three pounds of gold glitter eyeshadow-of-the-damned caked on her lids. Did Mia Kirshner run over the Wardrobe and Makeup people's puppies or something?
Isobel, who has been Lady MacBething her hands for the entire scene follows Snark across the room. "So, I assume that you still don't have the invention." Snark tells her he'll get it done. Izzy: "Uh, you threatened to expose Damon Salvatore; that didn't work. You killed that Pearl lady -- still no invention. I really don't think that your plan is working, John." Snark: "Well you being here isn't going to help anything." Stoned or not, Isobel will brook no insolence from a pasty faced guy wearing an old lady's wig set too far back on his head, so she bitch slaps him and knocks him to the ground. HOORAY! Isobel says, "You've failed, John. I'm gonna take it from here." She leaves Snark (and his bruised ego) sitting on the floor.
MFHS; Alaric's Classroom: Damon peppers Alaric with questions about his meeting with Isobel: Did he ask about Snark? Is Isobel working with Snark? What about the invention? Does Isobel know about the tomb vampire refugees? Alaric didn't ask about any of those things. Damon: "Did words completely escape you?" Alaric: "You know, I was a little too distracted by my dead-vampire wife to ask any questions." Damon: "What's she want?" Elena: "She wants to see me, Damon." At that, our Evil Pixie Monster flicks on his psycho eye beams and turns toward her. Stefan explains that Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting, but they have no idea what's on her agenda. Damon never looks away from their girlfriend. "You don't have to see her if you don't want to." Elena shrugs and says she doesn't have a choice. Alaric: "She's threatening to go on a killing spree." Damon: "Oh." He waits a beat and then grins at Elena. "I take it that's not okay with you guys." It doesn't matter. Elena wants to meet with Isobel. "If I don't, I know I'll regret it." Damon flashes his eye beams again, before we cut to...
Town Square; Exterior: A "Mystic Falls Celebrating 150 Years" banner hangs in front of town hall. I'm only mentioning any of this, because I can't tell if the (analog) clock in the tower reads 9:28 or 5:45. It must be 5:45 PM, yeah? Feel free to e-mail me an HDTV set at CynthiaMcLennan[at]gmail.com.
