### **Status**

Best Friends, Sisters-In-Law, Allies; Ended (Elena is dead.)

**The relationship between the human doppelgänger/cured vampire, Elena Gilbert and the vampire, Caroline Forbes.**

They met in their childhood and have always been close, even despite Caroline's former jealousy of Elena. They are also best friends with Bonnie Bennett. In season one, Caroline started to date Elena's ex-boyfriend, Matt, but suspected he was still in love with Elena until it finally became clear that he had moved on. When Caroline became a vampire, she and Elena grew closer while Bonnie temporarily ended her friendship with Caroline.

However, Elena and Caroline's relationship became tense after Elena broke up with Stefan, Caroline's best friend, following her transformation into a vampire, especially when she began a relationship with his brother, Damon. Elena was outraged when she discovered Caroline had told Stefan of her and Damon's relationship before they were ready. After Damon used the sire bond to have Elena turn her humanity off in order to help her deal with the death of her brother Jeremy, she confronted Caroline about her betrayal and bested her in a fight after Elena threatened her mother. In a lapse of pettiness, the still humanity-free Elena stole Caroline's prom dress, and Caroline eventually let Stefan and Damon proceed with their plan to torture her into regaining her humanity, though she was more reluctant to do so than Bonnie. After getting her humanity back, Elena, who was dealing with the return of the guilt and grief regarding the death of her brother, took some time before she was able to apologize to Caroline for her actions, but the two were able to rebuild their relationship over the summer before they left for college.

At Whitmore, Elena and Caroline shared a room together in the dorms, and they were later joined by Bonnie after she was made the Anchor to the Other Side and was able to interact with the living world again. Though Caroline continued to make snarky comments about Elena's relationship with Damon, Elena took it all in stride, even occasionally returning the snark by bringing up Caroline's off-and-on boyfriend Tyler. When Damon noticed Elena's uncharacteristic behavior after his transformation into an Augustine Vampire, it was Caroline who eventually put the pieces together and realized Elena had been possessed by Katherine using a Passenger spell just before her own body died of old age. After the Travelers cast the Magic Purification Spell, which destroyed the Other Side and indirectly resulted in the deaths of Bonnie and Damon, Caroline dropped out of school for a brief time, though she and Elena remained close friends. It was even Elena who convinced Caroline to return to Whitmore for their sophomore year and tried her best to help Caroline through her mother's illness and subsequent death.

However, the tables were turned when Caroline chose to turn off her humanity to deal with it, causing a reversal of roles where Elena was the one urging Caroline to come back and coming up with schemes to help speed up the process while Caroline fought back with violence. However, once Stefan managed to get through to Caroline and convince her to turn on her humanity, Caroline apologized to her best friends for her actions, which Elena accepted without question. Unfortunately, their reunion was short-lived, as the Gemini Coven leader Malachai Parker, desperate to get even with Bonnie and Damon for leaving him behind in the 1903 Prison World, put Elena into a magically-induced suspended animation that linked her sleep to Bonnie's life. As a result, Elena would only wake from her deep slumber if Bonnie died. Unwilling to let her friend die for her once again, Elena had one last reunion with Caroline and Bonnie using the former's vampire dream manipulation, during which time she made her two best friends promise to journal the next half-dozen decades so that when she awoke, she could read it all as though she were actually there. Caroline stayed true to this promise, and has continued to write a journal just for Elena in the months following Kai's curse.

In Season Eight, Elena and Caroline reunite after Elena awakens from her sleeping curse. They are currently sister-in-laws being Caroline married Stefan shortly before he died and Elena later married Damon after she woke up.

 File:101~Elena-Carolina.jpg   In *First Encounter*, Caroline first came off as insensitive when she saw Elena Gilbert on the first day of school after Elena's parents had been killed in a car crash. During the back to school party, she found new guy Stefan Salvatore and flirtatiously invited him to go on a walk with her, but was insulted when he rebuffed her advances and showed an interest in Elena, despite Elena's feelings for Jacob, Caroline's older brother. She then told Bonnie Bennett that it was a competition, with Elena.
 File:Tumblr lmcdb83dxg1qfrdlso1 500.gif  Later Caroline starts dating with Damon, Stefan's brother, who begins to manipulate her and feed on her. Elena noticed the bruises and bite marks on Caroline for the first time and Caroline tried to brush Elena off. Elena confronted Damon, and afterwards he took Caroline away and started to feed on her, mad she had revealed something to Elena. He instantly became mysteriously weakened until Stefan arrived and revealed that he had spiked Caroline's drink with vervain, knowing that was the only way to stop him. Elena came to Caroline's aid and she broke down crying on Elena's shoulder as the stress of her brush with death finally got to her.
 File:Tumblr ljg7706xpV1qc4i52o1 500.gif  Caroline grew closer to Elena's ex-boyfriend, Matt, and sought Elena's permission before she began dating him. Elena gave Caroline a vervain necklace to protect her. When Bonnie left town briefly following her grandmother's death, Elena and Caroline grew closer.
Caroline began acting insensitive toward Elena again when they competed for Miss Mystic Falls, however later encouraged her not to drop out and began encouraging her. When Caroline won, Elena was the first one she hugged and was very happy for her.

 File:01~19.jpg   In *Brave New World*, Elena was originally reluctant for Damon to heal Caroline with his blood, but later agreed when pushed by Bonnie. Elena and Bonnie covered for Caroline at the carnival. She was shocked when she discovered Caroline was turned into a vampire by Katherine. Elena and Damon argued when he decided to kill Caroline. He later tried to stake Caroline, but Elena stepped between them to save her, and Damon blamed Elena in advance for anyone Caroline kills.

In *Memory Lane*, Katherine begins using Caroline to spy on Elena and Stefan. When Damon convinces Alaric Saltzman to convince Jenna to host a private mini reunion barbecue party with a couple of her old high school friends supposedly so that Alaric can meet some of her old friends including Mason Lockwood, Caroline tries to distract Elena from the fact that her boyfriend won't answer by dropping hints that a vampire/human relationship wouldn't work including telling her that Stefan supposedly said to Caroline that despite how he felt about Elena every second she was a temptation. He fought the desire for blood every second every day even when she was with him. Elena contemplated what Caroline said as Alaric came to them to tell them dinner was ready.

 File:Normal 094.jpg  After Caroline played Pictionary with the others, Elena, after waiting for a few hours for a return call and getting a bad feeling, decides to take matters into her own hands and says she's going to go over there to see what's happening. Caroline after trying to discourage her from going including saying she was being a clingy girlfriend she offers her a lift there which Elena happily agrees too. On the way out, Caroline deliberately drops her keys near the back left tire and twist the air valve damaging it enough to produce a slow leak. On the road, Caroline again drops hints that Elena and Stefan should break up. "Why are you being so snippy?" Elena asks. Caroline blames it on her own personal drama, implying her own break up with Matt, but she presses the issue.
 File:Normal 167.jpg  After Elena changed the subject by turning up the car's mp3 player, Caroline's sabotaged tire blows out and they have to stop the car. It's soon night time and Caroline has made a call to the towing company for them to come and get the car, but it is taking exceedingly long and an antsy Elena wants to call Jenna, presumably to pick them up. Caroline stalls further by saying she will call the tow company again and use her "agro voice". Elena offers to walk the rest of the way but Caroline says they can't leave her car. Elena says they will come back for it but Caroline belays her again. Elena concedes that Caroline is still upset over Matt but not to project it on her Stefan. Caroline denies she is projecting saying.
Elena, stunned ask where her outburst came from. Caroline says she is trying to be her friend but Elena is unappreciative and tells her to stop trying. The tow truck finally approaches and Elena says she is going to walk, but then Caroline grabs her by the arm pleading not to go, but too tightly causing Elena to say she is hurting her. Caroline practically begging says don't leave her alone but she walks off.

 File:Normal 254.jpg   Later at the Mystic Grill Caroline is in the Grill's lavatory at the sink freshening up in the mirror. Then she hears footsteps and Katherine appears in the reflection. Caroline turns around with trepidation. Katherine is angry because Caroline didn't do exactly what she said and occupy Elena and keep her from returning home and contacting Stefan. Soon after she had a frightening face to face confrontation with Katherine, Elena walks into the Mystic Grill with Stefan. Caroline is there and calls Elena over and she apologizes to Elena about how she acted and what she said. But Elena admits that what Caroline was saying earlier was right but it was hard for her to admit it. Caroline is surprised that Elena is not mad and Elena tells her she was just being a good friend. Caroline apologizes again. Elena wordlessly accepts it and goes over to where Stefan was sitting.
Stefan and Elena have break up when Caroline is listening to their conversation but when they are alone again at Elena's house it is revealed that the breakup was all a ruse put on knowing that Caroline would hear and report back to Katherine. They decide not to tell Damon, who also overheard the false break up to better convince Katherine of its legitimacy.

 File:Normal 090.jpg
In *Kill or Be Killed*, Caroline and Elena are in The Mystic Falls Historical Society Volunteer Day at the function Caroline described to Elena that Elizabeth is all of a sudden "mother of the year" when she was trying to avoid her the most. Then as they begin to paint on what looked like wood stain and/or preservative on a park ground building pillar and a wood water pump. Caroline noted Elena's apparent boredom and says she is just babbling; but Elena encourages her to go on and she does, Caroline saying she was bitchy to her mother which was "...par for the course with us". "Us" meaning vampires.

 File:Normal 093.jpg
Elena seemed preoccupied despite what she said so Caroline asked how things were with her and Stefan and if she heard from him "No, not since the fight" Elena lied referring to the "break up" at the Mystic Grill. She tells Caroline that he has been pushing her away from him because a jealous Katherine might hurt her and she doesn't know how to change her mind. Caroline puts down her brush and goes over to say to her that perhaps that Stefan has a point because Katherine is dangerous. Continuing the lie as her best friend looks at her intently Elena says that she knows that Katherine is dangerous and that Stefan is trying to protect her, but it felt like giving up, that they were stronger than that. To that Caroline just shrugs regretfully.

 File:Normal 113.jpg
A few minutes later, still applying wood stain to the facilities Caroline notes the longing looks between Elena and Stefan and comments on it to Elena. Elena puts down her brush and says she is going to go talk to him. Caroline tries to talk her out of it but Elena blows past her heading for Stefan frustrating her. As Elena heads for her alleged ex-boyfriend Damon comes up behind Caroline asking what is Elena's problem. "Don't worry about it" Caroline says. He then asks why she was being such a bitch to her mother. "Don't worry about it" she repeats and walks off to finish re-staining the column but tuning her ears to listen in on Stefan and Elena.

 File:Normal 183 xoxox.jpg
Minutes later they are both climbing up to higher ground so Caroline can hear her surroundings better, Caroline picks up the various park sounds, "Oh God" Caroline says "What?" says a befuddled Elena who hadn't heard a thing. Caroline says it was Stefan and Damon and she takes off running but at human speed so Elena can keep up. A few minutes later Mason Lockwood comes up behind them wondering what they were doing there.

 File:Normal 283.jpg
Ignoring the question Elena asks where is Stefan, Mason, with a hard face, says he did see him or Damon and walks closer to the two. Elena asks where they are. "You don't need me for that. I'll let your friend sniff them out" he says sardonically to Caroline. Caroline looks at Mason with a hard face as well. "Does your mother know what you are?!?" Mason ask hostilely. Caroline is taken aback that he knows. "I'm happy to tell her" he says. She makes a move about to go into superspeed to attack him, but Caroline stops in her tracks as Mason threatens to snap Elena's neck. Caroline manages to free Elena, and runs immediately to look for Stefan and Damon.

 File:Normal 299.jpg
Eventually they come across the cellar of the old slave quarters on the old Lockwood plantation. Caroline listens and hears her own mother say "He's not going to tell us anything. Kill them both!", Elena asks what is going on. Caroline tells her Elizabeth is going to kill them. Elena says "What?" but Caroline restrains her. Caroline is afraid to stop it because her mother will find out about her. Elena, disgusted, ignores her and runs down the stairway leaving a torn Caroline, but just temporarily. She eventually runs down the stairs after Elena who had just hit a sheriff deputy with an old plank trying to stop the killing. The deputy who was hit holds her at gun point, but Caroline, using her superspeed, slams shut a cellar door. Elizabeth asks Elena who else is with her. Around them Caroline uses her superspeed, frightening the cop holding Elena.

 File:Normal 391.jpg
Caroline runs behind Elena comes around and defects the gun spinning the terrified cop around, holds him with her powerful arms and starts to rip out his jugular vein with her fangs, then she stops and collects herself and suppresses her game face and she returns to human likeness. "Hi mom." she says. Later Stefan has regained consciousness while Elena comforts him.

 File:Normal 424.jpg
That night Caroline comes home to the Salvatore residence with a small travel bag of her mom's clothes apologizing to Elena for being late that she didn't know how long her mom was staying over. Elena tells her that vervain takes about three days or sooner to leave the body. Stefan joins them and Caroline asks if he got some blood in him and he tells her he feels much better. They reach the door way of the cellar the brothers are keeping Elizabeth in. Elena goes after her. Elizabeth doesn't want to see Caroline and she is very sad and leaves the cell, she sits in the living room, Elena leaves again briefly and then offers to take her home.

 File:Normal 490.jpg
A crying Caroline tells her that she can't go home. Elena asks "why not?". Tenderly Elena coaches out of her, it is because Katherine is going to be there. She confesses that she will want to know everything that happened that day and also that she had to spy on Elena and report back to Katherine. Elena tells her that she knows and she was so mad at Caroline then she tried to put herself in her position to try to figure out why she would do that to her and Stefan after being such a friend to her. Elena gets up and sits next to her friend. Insightfully she asks "Who did she threaten?", "Matt" Caroline said, saying that she was very scared of Katherine. Elena said she should be, they all should be scared of her. Caroline asks why is Katherine doing this to them. "That's the million dollar question" Elena says. Caroline, despite being many times stronger than Elena, settles in Elena's embrace with her head against her chest feeling safe and falling asleep in the arms of her best friend.
In *Plan B*, Stefan is trapped in the well full of vervain and Elena calls to Caroline for help. Bonnie and Caroline walked at human speed to the old Lockwood well in the woods. Caroline hears Elena's cries for help. She rushed to her aid at super speed until she reached the well, Elena told Caroline that Stefan was trapped in the well (it was Bonnie who texted him with the location of the moonstone). Caroline made a move to dive down but Elena told her that it was filled with vervain.

 File:Normal 209 xoxoxxox.jpg
Caroline looked for something and found a chain in a neat pile. She took the end of the chain and threw it over the cross bar. A few moments later Elena had tied the end of the chain around her waist like a harness and was getting ready for Caroline to lower her down inside. At that moment Bonnie finally caught up asking what happened saying Caroline just took off in a blur. Caroline explained that she heard Elena screaming and urged Bonnie to help Elena over the lip of the well. They manage to get to Stefan and they rescued him.

 File:Normal 096.jpg
In *Katerina*, in the woods, Elena, who is carrying a big bag, asks Caroline to tell everyone she left school because she wasn't feeling well. She asks her to keep Stefan busy. Caroline is unsure, explaining that she is terrible at lying. Elena points out that Caroline managed to keep her occupied when Katherine asked her, and Caroline explains that she was threatened. Eventually, Elena asks Caroline to promise as her friend not to say anything and Caroline agrees. The pair go down into the tomb and Caroline asks "Are you sure you want to do this?". Elena points out that Katherine is the only person who knows the truth about Klaus. Caroline reminds her that Katherine lies about everything but Elena replies "I can't just sit back and wait. I have to know." Caroline takes off the tomb door and Elena calls after Katherine. Suddenly, Katherine shuffles forward and croaks "Hello, Elena." Elena tells Caroline to leave; pointing out that Katherine can't hurt her as long as she stays on the right side of the door. Caroline leaves hesitantly.

In *Daddy Issues*, after that Caroline is abducted and tortured, Stefan calls Elena to go and accompany Caroline because she needs her. Elena and Bonnie go to her house, saying that they are having a slumber party at her house and Caroline breaks down, crying peak gust both hug her tightly. File:Aredf.gif
In *The House Guest*, Bonnie, Caroline and Elena decide to have a girls night. Jenna walks in depressed and they soon convince her to stay and join them. Trying to decide what to do, Caroline tells them about the band playing down at the Mystic Grill and they all decide to head on out.

They begin to organize the party along with Tyler and Elena is shocked that Caroline told Tyler she kissed Damon. Elena and Caroline later find Matt. He ignores Caroline and she tells Elena that he hates her, but Elena corrects her, saying he hates not being with her. Caroline's later insensitive toward Elena but while trying to apologise, they find Damon's bulletin which he was using to track Stefan.

 File:Tvd-recap-disturbing-behavior-11.png  In *Disturbing Behavior*, Caroline and Bonnie arrive unexpectedly at Elena's. They catch up in the kitchen as Bonnie was away for the summer. Bonnie says her father's side of the family is boring, but Caroline says she would love a normal family after all she's been through. Elena's necklace then burns her and Bonnie, the spell giving off an electric current. At the latest Mystic Falls celebration, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena are on the outskirts of the event as they try to figure out what's wrong with Elena's necklace.
While Bonnie reads up on an identification spell that she thinks will be useful, Caroline sees seizes the opportunity to question Elena about her motives with Damon and if she's switching Salvatores. Elena says her and Damon are searching for Stefan, nothing more. Caroline explains that if her father can't change her, there's no hope for Damon to change. Bonnie then tells them to look at the necklace that is now floating in the air. That evening, Caroline and Elena continue to speculate about the necklace despite that they're amongst a group of supernatural-hating Founding Family members.

 File:Bonnie-Caroline-and-Elena.jpg
Caroline asks if Stefan ever told Elena where he got the necklace, and Elena says he never mentioned it but that she never asked either. Caroline and Elena rely on Bonnie to discover the truth. Alaric joins the girls as they head toward the door and Damon is mentioned again. Caroline then sees Bill and quickly leaves, unable to speak to him.

When Elena admits that she forgot about the bonfire, Caroline instantly begins to try to convince her to go before Elena says she's going anyway.

 File:Tumblr m5d7us7K2e1qlq3doo6 250.gif
Caroline points out she's frozen and is never going to be eighteen. Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, and Matt walk into a strange old building that's in the middle of the woods. Elena says that instead of a birthday, Caroline needs a funeral in order to mourn her old life and move on. Elena, Matt, and Bonnie list Caroline's human qualities and accomplishments. Bonnie uses her powers to light the candles on Caroline's cake and Elena asks Caroline to make a wish. Later, Elena, Bonnie, Matt, and Caroline are still held up in the creepy building. Caroline is busy on her phone and Elena is skeptical about what she's doing.
Caroline admits that she might have text messaged Tyler. Bonnie defends Caroline and turns on Elena, mad at her for having Damon compel Jeremy to leave town. Matt intervenes and Bonnie leaves. Caroline, Elena, and Matt are laughing at something when Tyler arrives. Tyler apologizes, saying that he doesn't mean to crash the party. Matt doesn't seem impressed that Tyler's there, but Caroline jumps up immediately and is ready to talk to him. Matt says that he just wants Caroline to be happy.

Meredith, who gave Bill the blood that healed him, is unhappy that Bill is ungrateful. She apologizes to Caroline for her attitude. Caroline is hurt to know that Bill was discharged the previous night. She meets Elena down the hall and says Meredith is nice but intense. Caroline calls Bill but hears his phone ringing in a nearby room. Caroline and Elena enter the room and find Bill's dead body.
Elena remembers he has vampire blood in his system just as he wakes up. Caroline looks out for Bill but once he says he's not going to feed, she's flooded with horror. He says he wants to die. At Caroline's house, Caroline suggests to Elena that Klaus may have made Tyler kill Bill, but Elena doubts it. Caroline says she will force her father to feed, but Elena reminds her it isn't his choice. Caroline begins to cry as Matt shows up and hugs her.
In *Dangerous Liaisons*, Klaus sends Caroline a dress and invites her to the ball that Esther has arranged. She refuses to go but when she and Elena sees Rebekah inviting Matt, she changes her mind.

 File:Tumblr m8nie5UUlz1rdbtfvo2 500.jpg  In *The Murder of One*, Elena goes to the Salvatore boarding house and sees Damon and Rebekah together, she gets upset knowing that they slept together. Angry, she leaves and goes to Caroline's house, where they try a privacy spell with Bonnie.
Damon came up with a plan to try and get Elena out of danger by trying to find a loophole. If one were to stab an Original, all four would fall.
After their plan for kill to an original fails and Bonnie's mother is turned into a vampire, Elena hears the news and the price of saving her, leading her to seek Bonnie who is watching over Abby who is in transition. Caroline asks her to leave, because even though Bonnie is alright since the goal was to save her friend it seems that Bonnie is the one who always gets hurt. Elena decides to leave but asks Caroline to tell Bonnie about her gratitude and love.
In *Do Not Go Gentle*, Caroline and Elena prepares the 70's dance. Elena follows Caroline's advice and asks Stefan to accompany her to the dance.

 File:3x22-carel.jpg  In *Before Sunset*, Alaric keeps Caroline hostage to lure Elena to the school. Elena receives a call from Alaric's cell, and she tells them that the joke is not funny. She is startled when she hears Alaric whom she thought was dead. Alaric tells her to come to school and not inform anyone of her whereabouts, otherwise he will kill Caroline. Elena complies with his demands, and finds Caroline held captive in his classroom. Elena tells Alaric to let Caroline go, and he allows Elena to free her. However, Alaric goes against his word, berating Elena for trusting vampires. He goes on a tangent about how Elena's parents joined the Founder's council to protect the town from vampires and that Miranda and Grayson would be disappointed in her for protecting vampires instead. He hands Elena the White Oak Stake and tells her to kill Caroline or else he will and ensure Caroline a painful death. Elena pretends to stake Caroline, but attacks Alaric instead. She sees a cup filled with vervain solution sitting on his desk and splashes it all over his face, giving her enough time to free Caroline. Caroline manages to escape, but Alaric recovers, blocking the classroom door. Later, Caroline and Elena attends the small victory party with Tyler, Bonnie, Matt, and Jeremy where they toast to the loss of Klaus.
In *The Departed*, Elena returns from Mystic Falls hospital and Caroline takes care of her.

In *The Rager*, Caroline and Elena is with Stefan outside the Mystic Falls High School. Caroline asks Stefan if Elena seems a little off balance to him, and Stefan says she's channeling all her emotions into rage and that he used to do it too, as a ripper. Caroline then says that Stefan is good at it, and that he saved her life and now he's saving Elena's. She also says he should write a book and go on the View.
In *My Brother's Keeper*, Caroline says Elena can't have feelings for Damon since he's Damon and will shake some sense into her head. When talking to Elena, Professor Shane walks up to them and tells them that he's lost. Elena and Caroline feel uneasy about the Professor and continue to rearrange flowers.

 File:Tumblr mec39qMfUQ1r5f8xoo2 r1 500.gif
At the pageant, Caroline made her disapproval of Elena's newbie vampire confusion of the heart known. Then, she backed off. Elena just wants time to figure out what these intensified feelings for Damon are. They got interrupted by Professor Shane, who's judging the pageant and they thinks it might be creepy that Bonnie is as obsessed with Shane-approved magic as she is. The next morning, Elena had bigger concerns at the moment, like disagreeing with Caroline over whether April should wear a safe blue dress (Caroline's pick) or a more revealing red one (Damon's choice). He remembered she'd worn blue to last year's pageant—which was sweet.

 File:Bff 408.gif  In *We'll Always Have Bourbon Street*, Elena invites her and Bonnie to the Salvatore Boarding House to have a girls' night. Caroline, who was told by Stefan, not to inform Elena on her being sired to Damon until they know it for sure. It's proven true when Elena drinks from a blood bag and is able to keep it down. Elena tells her friends that Damon suggested she try it again and it worked. A few moments later, when Elena gets a text from Damon saying he's with Stefan, Caroline asks that they check-in text now and Elena asks her if Caroline would mind laying off on all the hate. Caroline and Elena later get into an argument about Damon and Elena tells Bonnie and Caroline that she thinks she's falling in love with Damon. Caroline then blurts out that she isn't falling in love with Damon and that's she sired to him. Angry at this, Elena orders her friends to leave. When she opens the door, she sees Kimberley and Adrian, two hybrids, standing at the door and they take Caroline to a stable area, where they torture her.
 File:The-Vampire-Diaries-34.jpg  They found Caroline, and Kim was ready to make her power play in front of the unsired pack. She was about to stake Caroline when Elena said to torture her instead since Klaus wants so badly to keep her alive. Kim moved toward Elena, and Tyler broke free and threatened to rip her heart out. With his hand in her body, he told her and the pack that they have to work together if they want to live freely or they'd all die. Kim apologized and the rest of the pack joined her in kneeling before Tyler, who is officially the alpha. At Salvatore Mansion, Caroline and Elena hugged it out, and Bonnie told them that Shane is teaching her "expression." Elena told Caroline she'd tell Stefan about her having slept with Damon, but she just needed to figure out some stuff first.

 File:4x10-elenastefancaroline.jpg  In *After School Special*, Elena, Caroline, and Stefan had all been compelled. The rules: they answer her questions honestly, no disobedience, and no one leaves. Rebekah needed a quick update on what she's missed. She couldn't understand why, if Stefan would do anything to save Elena, even take the cure himself so he could grow old and die with her, they were still vampires. Rebekah sensed that the reminder of Stefan's devotion to Elena made everyone comfortable, and Caroline finally blurted out that they'd broken up. This situation had to be perpetual teen Rebekah's dream. She demanded to know what had happened. "She slept with Damon," Stefan said. Elena glared at Caroline. Caroline could barely look at her.
In *Down the Rabbit Hole*, Caroline got a phone call from Elena that she needs help getting sword from Klaus and came to know that Shane tricked them all. Caroline accepted that she can find the sword from Klaus' Attic as Klaus is under the Spell of Bonnie.
In *Stand By Me*, Caroline was cleaning Kol's burnt mark when she got shock to see Elena arrives and Stefan carrying Jeremy's body home.

 File:Tvd415b 0375b-jpg-c6bca8c8-t3.jpg
As Bonnie told Matt, Caroline, and Elena what she needed to do, we flashed back to Shane telling Bonnie on the island: So Qetsiyah knew Silas would want to die and be with his true love, so she created "the Other Side" -- a purgatory for all supernatural beings -- insuring that if he did die, he'd end up there forever. So Silas needs Bonnie to get rid of the Other Side. If she drops the veil, then ALL the supernatural creatures who've ever died since the Other Side was created will be back, including Grams and Jeremy. Shane told Bonnie she would do this. Caroline, of course, immediately said this was crazy talk, and Matt agreed. Bonnie fought with them and Elena just stared ahead.
Caroline was seen later seen when Elena became upset and was about to burn the house. Caroline freaked out on Elena's emotion and became scared of her attitude. Caroline also felt deep grief when she saw Elena mourning over Jeremy's death and said she had no one left in the house.

 File:59091 444217312319851 1896617366 n.png  In *Bring It On*, Caroline is shown at the Salvatore Boarding House because their showers are vervain-free. She thinks Elena should come back to school and Elena wants back in the cheerleading squad. Caroline realizes that since Damon turned off Elena's humanity, the sire bond that connected Damon to Elena is no longer in effect.

**Caroline**: No, no, no way, no. You had your chance to drop out and believe me I was all for it because there is no way that I could beat you. Elena, you're doing this because it was important to your mom.
-- *Miss Mystic Falls*

*(Elena is on the porch, alone. She calls Stefan but he doesn't answer so she leaves a message, Caroline arrives and sits down with her)*
**Caroline**: Is that Stefan?
**Elena**: Yeah, he hasn't called me back. I'm trying to decide if I should be worried.
**Caroline**: I'm sure he's fine
*(She eats chips)*
**Caroline**: God! I cannot stop eating. Stefan says it's a great way to sublimate the cravings. It's horrible just fighting the urge for blood every minute of every day.
**Elena**: I know that Stefan really hates that part of himself.
**Caroline**: Yeah and he hates that you're a constant temptation.
**Elena**: He said that?
**Caroline**: The desire to rip out your jugular every time he's with you? Trust me, it's there. It's why I had to break up with Matt.
*(Alaric arrives)*
**Alaric**: Hey! Food's ready, come get it.
**Caroline**: Finally, I'm starving.
*(She goes inside)*
*(Caroline and Elena are in the living room)*
**Elena**: Would I be the worst friend in the world if I abandoned you and went to Stefan's?
**Caroline**: You want to leave?
**Elena**: It's just that he hasn't gotten back to me and I'm starting to get this bad feeling.
**Caroline**: I don't think that's a good idea, Elena
**Elena**: Damon's got it under control here
**Caroline**: Take it from me, there's nothing worse than a clingy girlfriend.
**Elena**: I'm not being clingy, I'm just concerned. You understand, right?
**Caroline**: How about I drive you?
**Elena**: Yeah, okay, that'll be great, thanks.
*(Elena goes into Caroline's car. Caroline deflates a tire and goes into the car)*
*(Caroline is driving toward the boarding house with Elena)*
**Elena**: Thanks for this, I appreciate it.
**Caroline**: Here we come, to the rescue.
**Elena**: Why are you being so snippy?
**Caroline**: That's my own drama. I'm sure that you two will beat the odds. Not that there is any study to pull odds from. What is the ratio of success vampire-human coupling? I'm guessing nil.
**Elena**: Okay Caroline.
**Caroline**: Sorry.
*(Elena turns up radio)*
**Elena**: I love this song.
*(Caroline pushes a button on her steering wheel)*
**Caroline**: Whats playing?
**Radio Voiceover: playing "We Radiate" By Goldfrapp.**
**Caroline**: Ta-da
*(The tire bursts)*
**Caroline**: Oh crap.
*(Elena Sighs)*
*(Elena and Caroline are waiting for the tow truck)*
**Elena**: Are you sure the tow's coming? We've been waiting forever.
**Caroline**: I know, it's weird. They said they'd be here by now.
**Elena**: Yeah. I'm just gonna call Jenna.
**Caroline**: No! Let me try the tow people again. And I'll use my mad girl voice.
**Elena**: Can we just walk from here?
**Caroline**: I can't just leave my car
**Elena**: We'll come back for it.
**Caroline**: Just give me a minute, Elena
**Elena**: Caroline, what part of "I'm worried about Stefan" didn't sink in?
**Caroline**: What's the rush? Why are you hurrying to get to a relationship that will never work?
**Elena**: Okay, look. I know that you're upset over Matt but will you stop projecting it onto me and Stefan please?
**Caroline**: I'm not projecting anything! You're human, he's a vampire. You're gonna be 70 and in diapers and he's still gonna be smoking hot and you will never have his children, Elena! And you are too maternal to not have children!
**Elena**: Where is this coming from?
**Caroline**: I'm just trying to be your friend.
**Elena**: Okay, well, do me a favor and stop trying.
*(The tow arrives)*
**Elena**: There's the tow, I'm gonna walk
**Caroline**: No, Elena, don't!
*(She catches Elena's arm)*
**Elena**: Caroline, you're hurting me.
**Caroline**: Don't leave me alone.
**Elena**: What's wrong with you?
**Tow guy: Hey there, someone called about a flat tire?**
*(Elena looking at Caroline)*
**Elena**: She did.
*(She leaves)*
*(Caroline is sitting alone at a table. Elena and Stefan enter)*
**Caroline**: Elena
**Elena**: Hey.
*(Stefan goes to a table while Elena talks with Caroline)*
**Caroline**: Oh my god. I am so sorry about earlier today. I don't know what came over me.
**Elena**: It's okay, Caroline. Everything that you were saying was right. It's just hard for me to hear, you know?
**Caroline**: So... you're not mad at me?
**Elena**: You were just being a good friend…in your own way.
**Caroline Forbes**: My own head case, horrible way. Elena, I really am sorry.
*(Elena smiles and rejoins Stefan at a table)*
-- *Memory Lane*

*(Elena and Caroline are talking, while painting a veranda)*
**Caroline**: So suddenly, she's in the running for mother of the year just when I"m trying to avoid her the most. I'm babbling, you don't want to hear all this.
**Elena**: Oh, no, sorry. Then what happened?
**Caroline**: Well, I was a bitch which is part of the course with us. So, how are things with you and Stefan? Anything?
**Elena**: No, not since the fight. He's been pushing me away because he thinks that Katherine might get jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind.
**Caroline**: You said that Katherine's dangerous. Maybe he's got a point.
**Elena**: Yeah, I know that she's dangerous and I know that he's just trying to protect me but it feels like giving up and I just…
**Caroline**: Just what?
**Elena**: I just thought that we were stronger than that.
*(Elena is painting a wall. She looks at Stefan. He looks at her. Caroline is looking at them)*
**Caroline**: Oh, oh. Longing looks are being exchanged.
**Elena**: I'm gonna go talk to him.
**Caroline**: No, Elena. I think it's a bad idea.
*(Elena leaves and Damon rejoins Caroline)*
*(Elena is alone. Caroline rejoins her)*
**Caroline**: You okay?
**Elena**: No.
**Caroline**: You know, maybe it's for the best.
**Elena**: It's not for the best, Caroline. None of this is for the best. I'm sorry, okay? I… I don't mean to take it out on you. You're just being a good friend.
**Caroline**: No. I'm not. I'm not being a good friend at all.
*(She sees her mom on the phone, leaving the park)*
**Caroline**: Is she leaving? Where is my mom going?
*(Caroline and Elena are going into the woods)*
**Elena**: Where are you going? What's going on?
**Caroline**: I need to be able to hear better.
**Elena**: Hear what?
**Caroline**: Something's wrong, Elena.
**Elena**: Caroline...
**Caroline**: Shh.
*(Caroline has heard everything)*
**Caroline**: Oh god.
**Elena**: What is it?
**Caroline**: Stefan and Damon.
**Elena**: What?
*(Elena and Caroline arrive at the ruins)*
**Elena**: What is that?
*(Caroline hears her mother telling her deputies to kill Stefan and Damon)*
**Elena**: Caroline. Caroline, what is it?
**Caroline**: My mom. She's killing them.
**Elena**: What?! We have to stop her!
**Caroline**: No, I can't. Elena, she's gonna find out about me. Elena!
*(Elena goes into the ruins)*
*(Caroline is alone in the living room of Salvatore's house. Elena rejoins her)*
**Elena**: You want me to take you home?
**Caroline**: I can't go home.
**Elena**: Why not?
**Caroline**: Because I'm scared.
**Elena**: Why are you scared? Caroline, you can talk to me.
**Caroline**: Katherine's gonna be there and she's gonna want me to tell her everything that happened today. She told me I had to spy on you and report back to her.
**Elena**: I know and I've been so mad at you. But then, I tried to put myself in your position so that I could understand why you would do this to me and to Stefan because he's been such a friend to you. Who did she threaten?
**Caroline**: Matt, she threatened Matt and I'm so scared of her Elena! I am so scared of her.
**Elena**: And you should be. Caroline, we all should be.
**Caroline**: Why is she doing this? What does she want?
**Elena**: That's the million dollar question.
*(She embraces Caroline)*
-- *Kill or Be Killed*

*(Caroline rushes over to Elena)*
**Caroline**: Elena!
**Elena**: Caroline, Stefan's down there and the chain is rusted.
*(Caroline starts to climb into the well, but Elena stops her.)*
**Elena**: No, no, no! You can't, it's filled with vervain. Caroline, we've got to get him out. Now!
*(Caroline tries to process and grabs the chain from the ground while Elena climbs on the edge of the well)*
*(Elena wraps the chain around herself and hooks it against one of the links. She looks at Caroline.)*
**Caroline**: I got you, okay?
**Elena**: (nods) Yeah.
*(Bonnie runs up to them.)*
**Bonnie**: What's going on? You just took off in a blur.
**Caroline**: I heard Elena screaming. Help her, now!
*(Bonnie grabs Elena's hand and helps lower her into the well.)*
**Caroline**: Are you ready?
**Elena**: Yeah.
*(Elena is lowered into the well with the help of Caroline. Caroline slowly reels her down. Caroline loses hold of the chain for a second but grabs it just in time.)*
**Caroline**: Sorry!
**Elena**: It's okay, keep going. Come on!
*(Caroline continues to lower Elena down into the well. Elena finds Stefan, he's unconscious. She unhooks the chain from around herself and puts it around Stefan.)*
**Elena**: Hey! Oh, Oh my God.
**Caroline**: Elena, what's going on down there?
**Elena**: Pull him up!
*(Caroline starts to pull the chain up from the well. Bonnie unties Stefan and, with the help of Caroline, places him on the ground. Elena turns the flashlight on.)*
**Caroline**: Elena? Ready for you!
**Elena**: Hold on! I need to find the stone.
*(Elena gropes around the cracks in the well for the stone.)*
**Caroline**: Hurry!
*(Elena continues searching in the vervain-filled water. She finds a wooden box and picks it up.)*
**Elena**: Hold on! I think I found it!
*(Elena grabs the box and a snake inches towards her. It wraps onto her. Elena screams and throws the snake off of her. Another snake has crawled up her arm. She backs up against the wall and pulls the box out its hiding spot. She ties the chain around herself again.)*
**Caroline**: Elena! What's going on?!
**Elena**: I got it. Come on! Bring me up!
*(Caroline reels Elena up. Bonnie helps Elena when she finally gets out of the well. Elena looks down at Stefan. She jumps off the well and down to him.)*
**Elena**: Oh, god! Stefan!
*(She cradles his head under her arm. Bonnie and Caroline rush over to her.)*
**Elena**: Stefan! Stefan.
*(Elena sees a rock nearby and grabs it. She cuts her hand with it. Caroline turns away. Elena places her wrist to Stefan's mouth. He opens his eyes and drinks from her.)*
**Elena**: I've got the stone, Stefan. Stefan, it's gonna be okay, everything's gonna be okay.
-- *Plan B*

*(Elena is with Caroline. Elena is carrying a bag)*
**Elena**: Tell everyone I wasn't feeling well and I went home from school.
**Caroline**: I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. I'm a terrible liar
**Elena**: And keep Stefan busy. I don't want him to know what I'm up to.
**Caroline**: I'm even worse at duplicity and you know this.
**Elena**: You managed to keep me occupied when Katherine paid Stefan a visit.
**Caroline**: Yeah, because she threatened me. Not that I'm saying that you should use that as a tactic, it's… Stefan's gonna see right through me.
**Elena**: Caroline, as my friend, do you promise or not?
**Caroline**: You had to break out the girlfriend code. Okay. I promise.
**Elena**: Okay.
**Caroline**: Why don't you want Stefan to know?
**Elena**: Because he would never be okay with me doing this.
*(They go under the church ruins. They stop in front of the tomb's door)*
**Caroline**: Are you sure you want to do this?
**Elena**: Yes, I'm sure. She's the only one who knows the truth about Klaus. The only one who can tell me how to stop him.
**Caroline**: But you're asking for the truth from someone who's probably never giving it. Are you sure about this?
**Elena**: Yeah. I can't just sit back and wait. I have to know, Caroline. Please.
*(Caroline goes towards the door and opens it.)*
**Elena**: Katherine?
*(She looks at Caroline)*
**Elena**: I'll be okay from here.
*(They hear a noise. Elena turns her head and looks at the door entrance. Katherine arrives and stops at the entrance.)*
**Katherine**: Hello Elena. You come to watch me wither away? Goodbye Caroline.
**Elena**: As long as I stay on this side of the door, she can't hurt me. Please.
*(Caroline looks at them and leaves)*
-- *Katerina*

**Caroline**: Chinese food or pizza?
**Elena**: Like you have to ask.
**Caroline**: I will get it.
-- *The House Guest*

**Elena**: I wish I did, but he wasn't really one to run.
**Caroline**: You know, this wasn't how it was supposed to happen. You know, I was supposed to tell him at the right moment in the right way, and he was supposed to be ok with it because he loves me.
**Elena**: We'll help you find him. I just have to accept this thing for Jenna.
**Caroline**: All right. Well, call me when you're done, and I'll be out looking for him.
-- *Know Thy Enemy*

*(Caroline talking to Elena on the phone)*
**Elena**: What are you doing?
**Caroline**: Just shopping for the party you're trying to bail out on.
*(Elena is walking down the stairs and goes to the kitchen)*
**Elena**: I never said yes in the first place.
**Caroline**: You were never going too Which is why I planned it anyway. And my mom wants you to call her.
**Elena**: Did she find something?
**Caroline**: An animal attack in Memphis, It's the third one this week in Tennessee.
**Elena**: And you're sure it's a vampire?
*(Rick is in the kitchen making coffee and they exchange looks)*
**Caroline**: Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's Klaus.
**Elena**: Doesn't mean it's not. (Going round the counter, pushing Rick out of the way) I'll call her.
**Caroline**: Well call her on her cell.
**Elena**: Tell her thank you for her help.
**Caroline**: Alright. Well, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit.
*(Tyler walks up to Caroline.)*
**Elena**: Oh, Caroline wait, just... keep tonight small. Please.
**Caroline**: Wear something pretty. (Hangs up. Tyler's there) Hi!
*(Caroline, Elena and Tyler are there fixing the Salvatore house up for the party)*
**Elena**: (Taking some napkins from Caroline) I feel like I have to fight Damon every single time we get a lead on Stefan.
**Tyler**: Maybe he doesn't want to find him.
**Caroline**: Tyler!
**Tyler**: What? He's into you, isn't he?
**Elena**: The only reason Stefan left with Klaus was so that he could save Damon's life. I mean, trust me, Damon wants to find him.
**Tyler**: But you kissed him? (Caroline gives him "the look") Probably screwed with his head.
**Caroline**: Tyler!
*(Elena smiles and looks down. Caroline and Elena look at each other.)*
**Caroline**: Sorry!
**Elena**: Don't worry about it, look yes I kissed him but was a...it was a goodbye kiss. I thought he was gonna die. (Sighs)
*(Tyler looks at her like "or what would I know" Elena's phone beeps)*
**Elena**: I missed a call from Bonnie, I'll be right back.
*(Elena and Damon walks away in the party and Caroline comes up to them)*
**Caroline**: You like? Don't answer that.
**Elena**: This is keeping it small? (Caroline just keeps on smiling) What are we drinking?
*(They go away arm in arm.)*
**Caroline**: He hates me (about Matt). His hatred of me, has driven him to drugs!
**Elena**: He doesn't hate you, he hates that he's not with you. (Looks over to the couch) Is that my brother?
*(Elena hands Caroline her drink.)*
**Elena**: Thank you.
*(Elena walks off and Caroline watches as she takes a sip of her drink.)*
*(Elena goes inside Damon's room)*
**Caroline**: This room's off limits!
*(Elena turns around and sees Caroline in the bathroom.)*
**Elena**: Caroline?
**Caroline**: Sorry. (She's holding a bag of blood) I just needed to take a beat. (Puts the bag down and walks up to Elena) Are you hiding?
**Elena**: I was just looking for Damon.
**Caroline**: Well, he better be here somewhere because we haven't even done the cake yet.
**Elena**: I think i'm gonna pass on the whole cake thing.
**Caroline**: What? no, no way, no! It's your birthday! You know it's the dawn of a new day and, you can't get on with your life until you have made a wish and blown out the candles.
**Elena**: Is that what you all want me to do? Just get on with my life?
**Caroline**: No... Maybe... I just don't think anyone wants to see you like this.
**Elena**: I'm not gonna give up on finding Stefan, Caroline.
**Caroline**: Of course not. And you shouldn't, but you have to admit that you kinda just letting your life pass you by. And isn't Stefan the one who wanted to make sure that you lived it?
**Elena**: You want me to make a wish? I just wanna know that he's alive. That's it! That's my wish.
*(She starts to walk away, but she sees Damon's closet door is open a little bit and goes up to it and opens it)*
**Caroline**: I'm sorry, okay. I'm just drunk and dumb tonight. Wait, what are you doing..,?
*(She sees all the notes and maps and articles that Damon has used to search for Klaus and Stefan. Caroline comes up to her too)*
**Caroline**: What's all that?
**Elena**: It's Klaus. Damon's been tracking him without me.
**Caroline**: Why wouldn't he just tell you?
**Elena**: I don't know.
-- *The Birthday*

**Caroline**: I come bearing gifts!
**Elena**: Please say that's not chili...
**Caroline**: Ahh! Did I splash you?
**Elena**: No, no, my necklace.
*(Elena and Caroline are talking)*
**Caroline**: Did Stefan ever tell you where he got the necklace?
**Elena**: No. And I never asked. Hopefully Bonnie will be able to figure it out.
*(Elena and Alaric turn around to look at Bill)*
**Elena**: Why would he even show up here?
**Caroline**: I don't know. But I can't...
**Elena**: I get it. I'll call you later.
*(Caroline leaves and goes upstairs)*
**Caroline**: I'm only answering in case it's a friend emergency.
**Elena**: It's an emergency.
-- *Disturbing Behavior*

**Caroline**: We're about to be seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't...
**Elena**: And if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?
-- *The Reckoning*

*(Caroline puts a flyer for the bonfire on the wall)*
**Elena**: I forgot about the bonfire.
**Caroline**: You have to go. It's our first spirit squad event. And it sets the bar for the whole year.
**Elena**: Relax, Caroline. I'll be there.
**Caroline**: Thank you. It's just that...
*(Tyler arrives and kisses Caroline. Elena looks at his shirt and sees something red)*
**Tyler**: Happy first day!
**Elena**: Is that blood?
**Caroline**: Oh my God!
*(Caroline, catches Tyler and Elena follows them)*
-- *Smells Like Teen Spirit*

*(Elena is in the restrooms with Jeremy and Anna. She's on the phone with Caroline)*
**Elena**: How do we do that?
**Caroline**: Apparently the old witch can draw power from this side because of her talisman.
**Elena**: Talisman... My necklace?
**Caroline**: It's some ju-ju power source. And I know you're not going to like this, but Bonnie needs to destroy it.
**Elena**: I just walked in on Jeremy kissing the reason I'm completely ok with that.
**Caroline**: What?! Are you kidding?
**Elena**: I wish. Look, I don't have the necklace. Damon has it somewhere. Text him. I'll call you right back.
*(She hangs up and looks at Anna)*
*(Elena's phone rings. She goes outside the cell)*
**Elena**: Hello?
**Caroline**: So the necklace isn't where Damon said it would be and now we can't reach Damon.
**Elena**: Listen, I need you to get Bonnie to hold off on sending the ghosts back.
**Caroline**: What?! But you said you were in full support of getting rid of them.
**Elena**: I was. I am. Look, Lexi's here and she's helping with Stefan.
**Caroline**: Ok, let's just find it first and then we'll choose between boyfriend ghost dramas.
-- *Ghost World*

*(Elena is at the Salvatore home on the phone with Caroline)*
**Elena**: So, does that mean I don't have to go?
**Caroline**: You wish! No, Tyler is moving the party to his house.
**Elena**: Kegs and beerpong for Homecoming? That's- different...
**Caroline**: Just say you're still coming?!
*(Someone is knocking on the front door.)*
-- *Homecoming*

**Caroline**: Yeah, and now, it's just a reminder that technically, I'm dead. [beat] Look, I didn't even like 17. And the only point to being 17 is to get to 18. It's a filler year; I'm stuck in a filler year.
**Elena**: You're not stuck, Caroline.
**Caroline**: Yeah I am, but it's okay. You know, it's all good, I'll be fine. But I just need some time to wallow in it.
**Elena**: Okay, well I think I have another idea.
-- *Our Town*

*(Meredith meets up with Caroline in the hospital.)*
**Elena**: That was fast.
**Caroline**: Yeah, he's not here. He was already discharged. And she seems perfectly nice by the way... a little intense, maybe. But... I think it's sweet, you wanna make sure Alaric's not dating a total psycho.
**Elena**: He's my family. I have to look out for him. What?
*(Caroline calls her father)*
**Caroline**: I hear it.
*(She hears her phone of her dad.)*
**Elena**: Hear what?
**Caroline**: My dad's phone.
*(They go in a storage room.)*
*(They find Bill lifeless with a knife in his chest.)*
*(Caroline gets on her knees beside him.)*
**Caroline**: Dad! Dad?
**Elena**: Oh my
