Family Ties

Elena's house.

Logan: To repeat, the animal terrorizing Mystic Falls has been caught.

Jenna: Scum ball. Scum bucket.

Elena: Who are you talking to?

Jenna: Him.

Elena: The news guy?

Jenna: Also known as Logan "Scum" Fell. Did your mom ever tell you why I moved away from Mystic Falls?

Elena: Oh, no way. You and him? He's cute.

Jenna: He is not cute. There's nothing cute about him. What are you doing with that?

Elena: I went yesterday and got it from the safe deposit box. Mom had told Mrs. Lockwood she would loan it to the founder's council for their heritage display.

Jenna: Is that grandma beth's wedding ring?

Elena: Originally it was great-Great-Grandma Mary's wedding ring.

Jeremy: How much do you think this stuff is worth? You know, like on eBay?

Elena: You're not gonna find out.

Jeremy: That stuff is mom and dad's. You can't just give it away.

Elena: I'm not giving it away. It's called a loan, Jeremy.

Doorbell rings.

Stefan: Hi.

Elena drags him in the house and kisses him passionately.

Elena: Hi.

In Elena's bedroom.

Stefan and Elena are making out. Stefan is kissing Elena's neck when he looks in her mirror and sees his face has transformed. He sits up.

Elena: Are you ok?

Stefan: I'm good. Sorry.

Elena: Maybe we should press pause.

Stefan: Yeah, you're probably right. That was getting a bit...

Elena: Yeah.

Stefan: Yeah.

Elena: How do you look in a suit?

Stefan: I can pull one off.

Elena: How about tomorrow night? Will you be my date to the Founder's party?

Stefan: They still do that?

Elena: Have you been before?

Stefan: No, the Salvatores don't get invited anymore.

Elena: Well, this year, there's this heritage project that meant a lot to my mom. She was really involved in the founder's council, and it was her favorite party. I know it sounds really boring, but...

Stefan: I would be honored to accompany you, Miss Gilbert.

Elena: The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Salvatore.

Caroline's bedroom. Caroline is trying on dresses for the Founder's party.

Damon: No yellow. Jaundice. Go for the blue.
