Elena sighed as Stefan entered the basement. As soon as the green eyed Salvatore saw the doppelgänger, a deep frown was plastered on his handsome face.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Bonnie and Elena turned to him. "I needed her to know about the coffin." The Bennet witch said.

Stefan narrowed his eyes at the witch. "And I needed you to keep her out of it, Bonnie."

"So what are you gonna do, Stefan? Are you gonna kidnap me, so that I won't tell anyone?" Elena sassed.

Stefan glared slightly at her. "Don't tempt me, Elena."

"I think I know, who can open the coffin, Stefan. And I need Elena to help me find her." Bonnie told him.

"Find who? What are you talking about?" Stefan asked, confused.

"I couldn't place her face at first. Then I realized." Bonnie pulled a photo out of her pocket and showed it to Elena.

Elena's eyes widen in shock. "Oh my god, Bonnie."

Stefan looked at the photo in Bonnie's hands, still confused. "Who is this?"

Bonnie looked at Elena then to Stefan. "It's my mom."

Bonnie and Elena were in Elena's house, searching through a pile of driver license records for Bonnie's mother, Abby. They're looking through the records of everyone who is named Abby Bennett.

Elena picked a record. "Los Alamitos?" she asked and gave Bonnie the record for a woman named Abby Bennett Wilson.

"Too old."

"Honolulu?"

"I wish. How many of these are there?" Bonnie asked.

Elena took a deep breath. "A lot. I asked the sheriff's office to pull up every single Abby Bennett in the country."

Bonnie stopped looking at the records for a moment and looked at Elena. "I know we haven't been able to really, that things had been weird, because of Jeremy, so, thank you for helping me with this. I know you have a lot to deal with."

Elena smiled. "There's nothing more important, Bonnie."

"It's surreal. Having to track down a woman, who bailed on her own kid." Bonnie muttered.

"You know, you don't have to, right? Let Stefan obsess over opening up the coffin. It doesn't have to fall on you." Elena said, acting very immature.

"The coffin is spell shut. That makes it a witch problem. So it does fall on me. I was bound to see my mother again sooner or later."

As the two girls continued to search for the record of Bonnie's mother, Damon entered the house holding a manila folder in his hand.

"Sooner." Damon said. "Abby Bennett Wilson, Monroe, North Carolina. Born in Mystic Falls Hospital, graduated at Mystic Falls High, blah blah blah."
