Elena found out why she looks like Katherine despite being from a different family in The Vampire Diaries Season 1 Episode 11: she’s adopted.

Stefan says there’s another vampire in town, so they need to be careful. Too bad he invites the pizza delivery guy inside.

Jeremy writes a paper about vampires in Mystic Falls. His teacher, Alaric, who knows a thing or two about the subject, tells him to not bother getting too caught up in the conspiracy theories.

Caroline and Matt are growing closer. She says it’s because Matt’s not over Elena.

Bonnie suggests that Elena dig deeper into this adoption thing. Seeing as how she just found out her boyfriend is a vampire, it’s not as if things can really get much worse.

Elena gets a call from the guy she hit with her car. Why call if he just wants her dead? To protect her, Stefan gives her a compass, so he can find her if she’s in danger.

Elena’s parents delivered the baby of a teenager, but a few days later she disappeared. That left them with Elena. All Jenna knows about the girl is her name, Isabelle.

Stefan says he’s willing to do anything to get his brother out of town, even release Katherine, although the other 26 vampires will have to stay put.

Having received an invite inside Elena’s house, the new vampire in town is able to make his way in and attempt to attack her, but Stefan arrives just in time to save her. Damon suggests they go to a public place instead, using her as bait.

Anna continues to stalk Jeremy at the dance. As much as he doesn’t want to admit it, they’re about as on a date as they can get.

Bonnie has decided to make a move on Ben, the ex-jock now bartender.

Anna insists that Jeremy give her his ancestor’s journal. When he tells her he gave it to Alaric, she tells him he shouldn’t give it to just anybody. Unless that anybody is her. As her face starts to change, she turns around and leaves. From there, she heads inside the school to see if she can find the journal, and she runs into Elena’s not so friendly stalker Noah, who’s working with her, more or less.

Elena gets another call. She’s told she has 5 seconds, or her brother dies. It’s not long before she realizes she probably can’t kill Noah with pencils through the heart, so it’s a good thing Damon and Stefan realize what’s going on. They don’t want to kill him. They just want to talk. And maybe torture him a bit. He gives in and tells them to check the journal to find out how to get into the tomb. Since he’s not going to talk any more and was invited into Elena’s house, that’s about all the use they have for him, so now he can die. At least now they know they need to find the grimoire.

Matt has decided he doesn’t want to risk the one good thing he’s got going, so he doesn’t plan to start dating Caroline. With that said, he doesn’t have to worry, since she has now lost interest in doing so. He chases after her and warns her it’ll never work, which leads to kissing anyway.

Alaric has decided to keep the talk of his ex-wife to a minimum when he’s around Jenna. Her name was Isabelle.

Stefan tells Elena he lied to his brother. He has no intention of helping him get in the tomb.

Anna sneaks up on Ben, who’s not surprised by her because he, too, is a vampire.
