Refresher: Elena finds out that there's an annual Father/Daughter Dance coming up, which seems to be a special event for Katherine and John. She freaks out because she can't ballroom dance, but Damon stops her from leaving and agrees to teach Elena to dance. Elena also finds out about 'The Lying Game', which were pranks and practical jokes that were recorded and uploaded to embarrass people. Elena meets Katherine's godfather, Mickel, who is also Bonnie' dad. He gives Bonnie some money to get a dress for the father daughter dance. He also grills Elena (Pretending to be Katherine) about whether she's heard from his son, Klaus. At the Father Daughter Dance, we find out that Katherine's father and Bonnie's father have a long kept secret. Mickel gets drunk and figures out Bonnie's plan to send her brother money. Bonnie has an argument with her father and he hits Damon. Mickel thinks Katherine talks with Klaus all the time. Katherine's Mother answers Elena's phone thinking it's Katherine's phone. Travis thinks it's Elena and starts talking to her.
Previously...
"I'm not who I say I am. I'm not Katherine Gilbert. My name is Elena Petrova. I am her twin sister, we were separated as babies, and you need to listen to me, I think that she is in trouble."
"That's that's actually a really good one, you know?" Stefan laughed."I mean, it's just another one of your games, right?" At this Elena looked at Stefan in confusion, like he has grown a second head. There she was tell something really important to him and he was laughing at her face. "Same crap as last year. False alarms. Fake calls to police. I mean, you guys set me up like what- five times already? Now I've really got to go." Stefan said and got up to leave. Now it all fixed in place. Stefan was thinking this is one of Katherine's Lying game. God! Why does her sister has to be so stupid to do a thing like this with the police? How would she ever make him believe?
"Wait." Elena said when Stefan has reached the door and was about to leave. just as Stefan turned around to face her she got distracted by her phone buzzing and a message appearing form an unknown number. She opened it and was shocked and relieved at the same time.
"Yes?" Stefan said when Elena didn't say a thing.
"I'm sorry?" Elena asked.
"You said 'wait', so I'm waiting." Stefan mocked a little. He was really annoyed of Gilbert and her games. And also the fact that she has his brother all wrapped around her finger.
"Yeah, uh well, what I meant to say was you were right. It's a lying game." Elena told him nervously. She really wish he buys it and she could get off the spotlight.
"Great." Stefan said and left. Elena also left after him and was greeted by Damon standing there. He was leaning against in of the trees, a bored expression on his face.
"Let me guess." Damon said ant the pretended to think and said,"He didn't believe you."
"Yeah. N- I mean, no. It doesn't matter. Look. It's her." Elena said and then shoved her phone into his hand. On the screen there was a text message from Katherine, demanding Elena to come video chat with her as soon as she can,"It's Katherine."
Meanwhile at the Forbes House...
Bonnie and Caroline were sitting on the edge of pool with their leg under the water. Bonnie was really upset from what has happened at the Grill. And she was also embarrassed. her father had started shouting at one of her best friend out of the blues.
"It's really important to you, huh? That we all stay together. High school, college, forever." Bonnie asked.
"Yeah. Isn't it to you?" Caroline asked and raised one of her perfect eyebrow.
"Sure." Bonnie answered shortly.
"You're not thinking of taking off, too? Like Klaus?" Caroline asked, slight panic showing in her voice.
"No. No, can't desert my girls." Bonnie said and smiled a little.
"Better not." Caroline said in a warning tone. Just then Bonnie's phone started ringing pulling the attention of both the girls toward it. It was a little after 12 and they were both thinking would would Bonnie at this time of night.
"My dad." Bonnie answered the silent questioned and groaned,"Ugh."
"Pretty sure that's who they had in mind when they invented the 'ignore' button." Caroline said and they both want back to chatting about silly nothings.
"Hey. There you are." John said as Elena opened the door of the Gilbert Maison and sneaked in. John and Jenna were sitting on the for the couch, Jenna curled up next to John.
"Hi." Elena said timidly.
"You get Bonnie and Care home okay?" Jenna asked, concern clear in her voice.
"Yeah. No problem." Elena shrugged. That was true she had first left Bonnie and Caroline home, it's just that after leaving them she had went to Damon. Katherine's Mom and Dad didn't need to know that,"Well, I just told your mom about what happened." John added.
"You're okay, though?" Jenna asked still concerned about her daughter.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. Good night, guys." Elena said and was about to leave when Jenna stopped her by saying,"Oh, honey, I found this in your bedroom." Jenna was holing out Elena phone in her hand. Elena started to panic quickly thinking for some excuse.
"Any idea whose this is?" Jenna asked.
"That's Care's. She must've left it there. She loves my bedroom. She'd move in if I let her." Elena ranted nervously. She was just trying to get in the room and be able to talk to her sister.
"Well, it rang, and I answered it." Jenna said and Elena's heart almost stopped. It was like she was going to have a heart attack,"And the guy on the other end asked for an 'Elena'. I don't know any Elena(s). Do you?" Jenna asked in her mother voice.
"Must be one of her Facebook aliases. You know, she has like three or four I'll make sure she gets it back. Thanks." Elena said quickly and then grab the phone and rush to her room,"Okay. Well, good night. And thanks for a nice time, Dad." Elena said over her shoulder.
"Night, hon." She heard John said just before she closed the door.
"Hey. Elena, there you are." Katherine said as soon as Elena answered her video call. Damon was pacing the length of Katherine's bed so she can't see him through the web-camera till now.
"I have never been so glad to see someone. You have no idea." Elena said in a relieved tone.
"Sorry I didn't make it to the cabin. How's it going there?" Katherine asked, wishing her sister didn't screwed up her perfect life.
"A lot happens in a day in the life of Katherine. I mean, so far I caught Luke cheating with Nisha, and I broke up with him, and..." Elena was saying but was a bit confused what to tell her sister about Damon figuring out about there facade.
"Yeah, and me." Damon came came to sit next to Elena on the bed so that he would also be visible to Katherine.
"Wait a second" Katherine said confused.
"Yeah, you should have told her about us. All right? And you should've told me that you had a twin. And that you were going to L.A. You know, you've had Elena worried sick." Damon said angrily.
"What about you?" Katherine asked a bit hurt, Damon didn't said he was worried about her.
"More pissed than worried." Damon said not caring if it hurt her. She didn't tell him, her boyfriend, that she was going to L.A. And that her twin would take her place. And even that she has a twin.
"Look, Katherine, I just need to know what's happening there. You said something about a meeting?" Elena asked.
"Okay. The night before you came here, I found a profile page of a woman who I think is our mother. So I arranged to meet with her at this pier in L.A., but she never showed up. Then someone stole my purse with my keys, everything. I just need a little bit more time." Katherine finished telling what has happened with her in the past few days.
"Well, someone broke into your house." Damon informed.
"My house?" Katherine asked bewildered.
"Yeah, your room. And the only thing that they stole is the laptop." Elena told Katherine.
"Yeah, so we need to know what's on it." Damon asked Katherine.
"God, absolutely everything is on that! The search for our biological parents. The fact that I even have a twin. The trail that's led me back to here. You guys need to find that thing." Katherine panicked. If someone got his/her hands on that laptop, it was like a jackpot for them. All of Katherine's secret were on that thing,
"We'll try." Damon said.
"Okay. Look, I-I just need a few more days, I promise. Think you can handle it?" Katherine asked Elena.
"Yeah." Elena said not too excited about it.
"Well good night, you two." Katherine said and ended the video call.
"Why didn't you tell them about me? How I'm helping you in this?" Klaus said as Katherine ended the video call.
"We've a bigger problem, Klaus. My laptop was stolen."
"Look, I told you, I don't know what's wrong with Mickel. I've never seen him act like this before." John said to Jenna. He himself was confused by his friends behavior.
"Angry at Kath? I mean, it just, it doesn't make sense." Jenna said.
"I'll tell you the thing that doesn't make sense is this valet. This kid, you weren't there. The way he stepped in I mean, it's like he knew Kath." John said.
"He's seeing her!" Laurel said as she came out from the kitchen. She has came to take a glass of water but heard her mom and dad discussing and couldn't help herself.
"What did you say?" John asked.
"It's just-" Laurel said but stopped herself. Was it a good idea? Kath would kill her if she found out that she has told Mom and Dad.
"Honey, Do you know something?" Jenna asked softly yet firmly. Laurel knew she couldn't get out if the mess she had made.
"His name's Damon Salvatore. I saw him watching you guys dance at the club, and sneaking around with Katherine at school. I mean, it's like he's her secret boyfriend or something." Laurel told John and Jenna.
John and Jenna send Laurel to her room and decided to talk with Katherine about it,"Katherine?"Jenna said as they entered her room. What they saw in front of them removed all and any doubt they may have had. Elena was sting there beside Damon with a cotton in her hand. She was sitting so close to Damon that it boiled John's blood. Elena was cleaning the wound Damon has gotten from his fight with Mickel but still her close proximity pissed John off. And not only they were sitting close but also the time was around 1 AM.
"I was just, um-" Damon was trying to come up with something when Elena cut him off.
"He's just a friend. Um, he came over to apologize." Elena quickly said.
"Yeah? So why didn't he use the front door?" John asked.
"You expecting someone else?" Stefan asked Mickel as he came and sat down next to Mickel on one of the bar stood in the Grill.
"What can I do for you Stefan?" Mickel asked ignoring Stefan's question.
"I wanted to thank you for not pressing charges against my brother." Stefan said gratefully.
"Ah, listen, he's just a kid. We all make mistakes. Don't we?" Mickel said.
"Suppose we do." Stefan said and got up.
"Goodnight Stefan." Mickel said.
"Goodnight." Stefan replied and walked off.
After some time Mickel also finished his drink, grabbed his coat and left. He went to a abandoned clearing and hid behind the trees waiting for him to come.
"Where the hell have you been?" Mickel asked when he finally showed up.
"You didn't tell me those Gilbert's had an alarm. But as promised, Katherine Gilbert's laptop." Tyler said and handed Mickel the laptop."So, about those possession charges?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah, yeah, you're off the hook." Mickel said opening the laptop and looking over it.
"Okay." Tyler said and walked off leaving Mickel with Katherine's laptop.
