Marshy comes to Montreal.
Eli has been spreading the Lord's word far and wide. He has many admirers.
Dean's always looked at dudes, it's just taken him this long to ever do anything about it.
Elena and Bonnie talk, and then there's a kidnapping. Still eventually Elena/Damon/Stefan.
"A girl's got to be careful of men. I hope you don't mind me saying so."
It took Costis awhile to understand what was happening, in their little cottage in Roa.
Prior is getting good at this threshold-of-revelation stuff.
Wen Ning recognizes what is happening. He is being confessed to. This happens to him, sometimes. There is something about him that makes people tell him secrets, although he doesn't think he does anything to encourage this. His sister used to say he had trust-worthy proportions, which people could naturally see. Since she had never read his fate in his face, this doesn't seem too reliable.
Wen Ning encounters Lan Xichen, and they discuss trees. A secret is shared.
Brent's got the werewolf thing pretty well under control after 24 years, but one little concussion and some emotional turmoil centered around his best friend/defensive partner makes things harder than they've ever been before. (angsting, pining, hockey, werewolf, rinse repeat. Takes place during the 09-10 season.)
I'm rewriting The Courtship of Princess Leia to be good, actually.
