Morning, Sunshine.
Oh. Um... did I wake you?
No. I've been up for three hours.
Really? Because you didn't say a word.
Neither did you.
Well--ahem-- that's because I didn't really have much to say. Nothing's changed. We're still bad for each other, and we are still broken up. Last night was a mistake.
Maybe we should keep making mistakes. Big ones.
Atlanta Assassination Squad. How may we be of service?
I take it you haven't located the doppelgänger yet.
You told us to find a nameless paramedic at the scene of a car accident in a city full of freeways, fried green tomatoes, and terrible drivers. It's not exactly as easy as it sounds.
Which is why I am calling. The doppelgänger's name is Tom Avery, and I just saw him deliver a patient to Atlanta Metro Hospital.
(to Enzo) She saw him? She did the vision thing again? (takes the phone, now talking to Sloan) We had a deal. I find Stefan's last living doppelgänger--
Tom
Tom. I take care of Tom, and in return, you stop using Stefan to psychically doppelbomb him because every time you link the two, you are frying Stefan's brain.
Hey, Bon.
Hey. I got your text. What's the friend emergency?
Damon and I broke up. It's final.
Oh, my god. When did it happen?
Last night.
But you didn't come home last night.
Uh, that's because I slept with him.
Oh.
Post breakup.
Ohh.
Was that irresponsible?
Probably. Does Jeremy know that you and Damon definitely maybe broke up?
No. He wasn't at the house last night thankfully.
Well, that's weird. I mean, he didn't mention anything to me. If he wasn't at home, where was he?
I don't know. That doesn't really help me with the whole irresponsible thing, does it?
Ah. Modern women, all bosom, no mystery, present company excluded.
Dear god! Please don't tell me that I'm the real reason you're here.
Why not? From what Damon tells me, I am your type-- well-traveled, charming accent, dodgy morals.
Arrogant, tactless, completely unable to take a hint.
Precisely.
Just because Jeremy is a bad student doesn't mean that he's cheating on Bonnie.
You're making excuses for someone you love. That's what you do. The worse the behavior, the more you try and defend.
And you keep trying to make this about us.
Yeah, because you keep trying to make it about anything else.
You know what? Fine. But don't pretend that you came here for Jeremy. If you want to talk about last night, talk.
Here's the thing, Elena, I don't know what to say or do or think. All I know is that right now I want to rip your clothes off right here in the middle of this hall and throw you in one of these classrooms and kiss every square inch of your body while a bunch of people that drive minivans listen, wishing they were us. (pauses) That's probably a bad idea, right?
Right.
Right. (bell rings) See you in class.
Enough.
Hardly. She [Liv] was two seconds away form killing you. I want to know why, so I am gonna rip this nasty rag out of your mouth. If I hear so much as one syllable of hocus-pocus, one of us is gonna break your neck. Spoiler alert- it's gonna be me.
How do you expect me to care about anything when this is my life? Take a look around. It's not like I could bring my teachers a note saying "sorry I missed class today, we were under a doppelgänger invasion."
