In *You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know*, Ethan, Dennis and a few other football teammates continue with their tradition of vandalism against the Salvatore Boarding School just prior to their annual charity football game. Ethan decides to forsake the tradition in lieu of going home. The other two students follow him, as it's a nice night for a walk and leaves Dennis to his own devices.

The next morning, Sheriff Mac drops him and his sister, Maya, off at Mystic Falls High School. They find Hope and Mila standing next to vandalized property, though they clear them of any wrong-doing and Sheriff Mac leaves to meet with Alaric.

As the day progresses, he and his fellow students arrive at the Salvatore Boarding School to play in their charity football game. After Hope seemly twists her ankle he steps in as quarterback which helps the team get neck and neck with their supernatural rivals. However, determined to win Josie uses a spell given to her by Professor Vardemus that ends up injuring Ethan's arm as he's about to make a pass. Soon thereafter, he's transported off the field and to the hospital. Maya later reveals that he has lost the scholarship he has been working his entire life for.
