Elsewhere on campus, Stefan catches up with Bonnie who appreciates that he saved her life but isn't really down with hanging with a bloodsucking fiend. God bless her and her good sense. Stefan plays the only card he has -- but it's the only one he needs to get Bonnie to help him with a spell. "It's Elena...and she's with Damon." At one of the picnic tables, Bonnie takes hold of Elena's Vervain necklace, but can't get a read on her. I idly wonder if the Vervain is blocking her in the same way it chemically castrates vampires, but I'm proven wrong as soon as Bonnie picks up a leaf from the ground and is unable to make it float (like she did the feathers). Great. Who broke Bonnie?
On the road again: Elena asks Damon where her car is. He said he dragged it off the road. Elena, don't panic. Jenna is the world's most crap guardian. She probably doesn't even know you're missing, yet. In the course of conversation, they also conclude Humpty Dumpty is probably a vampire. Elena sounds unconvinced when she says, "You didn't know him?" Damon deadpans. "If I've never met him, I wouldn't know him." A beat. "It's not like we all hang out together at the Vamp Bar and Grill." That's a damn shame. They finally arrive at their destination: Bree's Bar. Elena, who spends all her free time at "The Grill" in Mystic Falls, which looked an awful lot like a bar the last time I checked, complains that they'll never let her in a bar, because she's not of age. Damon's not so worried about it, though. Inside, we find Bree, who is played by the lovely and talented Gina Torres, aka Zoe Washburn from Firefly. She hops up on and over the bar and greets Damon with a, "My honey pie," and a way more than perfunctory kiss. Just as they go back for seconds we cut to...Commercial!
