When Elena arrives at the hospital, Damon lurks around the corner, as Bonnie tells her Caroline might not make it. Once Elena asks Bonnie to magically heal their friend, Damon delurks, both to mock Bonnie's inability to help, and to remind Elena that he's man enough for that and any job. A dose of his blood will have Caroline up and at 'em in no time. He insists it's a low-risk endeavor. Caroline will remain safely ensconced in the hospital for a while, so there's little chance of her dying and becoming a vampire before his blood works its way out of his system. Elena is not willing to take that chance, but Bonnie -- spurred on by guilt -- orders him to do it. Damon may pine for Elena, but he's scared of Bonnie, so he proposes a face and hide-saving bargain: if he heals Caroline, he and Bonnie will call a truce. Bonnie scoffs as she refuses, adding, "But you'll do it anyway." She smirks, and then: "For Elena." Neener neener neener.

Once Bonnie struts off, Damon tells Elena they should talk about "what happened" tonight. Elena says, "Yeah, one of the tomb vampires got in the house and almost killed John." Damon had been referring to their smoochies, so now he's just confused. "What are you talking about? After I left?" Since Elena never saw him, she seizes the confusion baton, because she has no idea what he's going on about. Damon rolls his eyes at her, assuming she's playing obtuse, and finally spells it out: "Come on, we kissed, Elena!" Elena closes her eyes and whatevers him. When she starts to leave, he grabs her by the wrist. "Hey, if you want to forget it happened? Fine. But I can't."

Just then, Jenna shows up. After a passing glare at Damon, she asks Elena about John. When Elena demands to know where she's been, Jenna says, "At the fire department. I had to fill out a report. I told you, earlier." With the audience serving as her backup singers, Elena says, "No you didn't," because last season, Jenna said no such thing. However, since we didn't see anything that rules it out, and Katherine-As-Elena mentioned it at the top of this episode, the writers have covered their bases well enough for me to let it go. The point isn't that we don't remember the convo, it's that Elena doesn't, because Jenna actually had it with Katherine. While aunt and niece do a No You Didn't/Yes I Did duet, Damon's eyes grow wide and he lets out something between an oh and an ugh. When that doesn't net him enough attention from the ladies, he adds, "Mmm, you've gotta be kidding me." As he turns, we cut to...
