Jeremy continues to struggle at school and with his feelings for Vicki. At a parent-teacher conference, Mr. Tanner makes Jenna feel that she is failing as a surrogate parent, especially when it comes to Jeremy. Louise tags along with Elena when she decides to go to the Salvatore house to meet Stefan, but they find his charming brother Damon instead. Damon reveals some surprising information about Stefan’s past and when Stefan arrives home.

## Plot

Louise finishes getting ready for school and is met in the hallway by Jenna who is deciding what to wear for a guardian/teacher conference. Elena joins them and Jenna asks her the same question. Jenna comments on Elena's uncharacteristically cheerful mood. Noticing Jeremy's empty room, Elena wonders wear he is and Jenna soon realises he lied and he isn't in woodshop class but instead has gone to look in on Vicki at the hospital, where the nurse tells him to come back later.

Elena and Stefan exchange smiles in Mr. Tanner's class as Mr. Tanner lectures about the comet that’s about to pass over Mystic Falls. Louise, Caroline and Bonnie walk through the hallway discussing Bonnie’s apparent witch lineage that Bonnie learned of from her grandmother. Caroline mentions the mysterious guy she saw in the Grill.

After school, Bonnie, Louise, Caroline, and Elena sit at a table in front of the Mystic Grill and talk about Elena's visit from Stefan the prior night - Caroline is sceptical of Elena's assertion that all the pair did was talk. The chat with the other girls prompts Elena to go to Stefan's house unannounced and Louise tags along in case she chickens out.

When her knock goes unanswered, Louise lets herself in to the Salvatore house, Elena right behind her. While Louise

looks around, she finds herself face to face with a curious Damon. She stumbles over her words as she attempts to apologise for barging into the house. Damon introduces himself to a surprised Elena and Louise. He mentions Stefan’s ex-girlfriend, Katherine. Damon points out that Elena is just Stefan's rebound girl and that their relationship is doomed. Stefan arrives, clearly surprised to see the twins talking with Damon, and coolly escorts them from the house. Back at home Elena rants to Jenna about Stefan’s apparent family issues.

The night of the comet’s appearance arrives and Louise, Bonnie and Elena walk through the square passing out flyers while discussing Stefan’s lack of calls or texts. Elena seems irritated until she realizes she never even gave him that information. She seems ready to end the relationship before it really begins, and Bonnie says it sounds as if she's giving up.

Louise leaves early, missing the comet. She texts Bonnie, informing her she's home safe. In her room about to get changed, she gets the sense of someone watching her again and when she turns around there's a crow at her window. She choos it away before getting ready for bed.
