[ jeremy's question is a tricky one.

he wasn't involved in elena's last memories from home. he was in denver, safe and sound, the result of another one of elena's cruel (and in her mind, necessary) game plans. it means she has to think farther back, but only a little. ] Klaus was angry Stefan stole his siblings' coffins from him, and he'd stop at nothing to get them back. Tyler was newly sired to him. [ and hanging around jeremy to get him off vervain.

yeah, elena wasn't pleased about that one, but alaric took one for the team. ]
