[ When she does address the network, Isobel has a cool, yet calculating, maybe even friendly? Smile. Because, not long after waking up, survival mode kicked in. She's perused the Forge. She doesn’t see signs of Klaus. But she recognizes three people. No, Matt, you're not getting a shoutout. ]

Hello, Anatole.

[ She looks off to the side. ]There

[Private FOREVER. Damon can see it though.]

[Oh shit. Noooo. She's going to mess everything up. She remembers you, Isobel.] Yeah, I remember you.

[selfishing]

[ Private with Damon, then. ]

[ Oh. Nifty trick. There she is. Isobel's smiling, Caroline. Hopefully, you'll be useful. So... ]

Fill me in. I want to know everything.

[stopkissingme]

Figure it out yourself. You're good at that.

[selfishing]

I don't remember you being this uncooperative. Did I catch you on a bad day?

[ Seriously. Choose your words wisely, Caroline. Her nice tone hasn't disappeared but there's an edge, there. An underlying threat. ]

[stopkissingme]

No.

[selfishing]

You're so short with me.

[ A tilt of the head. ]

Do you know who I am, Caroline?

[stopkissingme]

You're Elena's birth mom. And yes, I know what you did.

[selfishing]

And what is it that I did?

[stopkissingme]

You hurt my friends.

[selfishing]

Funny. I don't remember doing that. [ There is no more smile. But, there is a sense of calm and peace. Seriously, she'd best you at poker, Caroline. ] I think you should be very careful. What you say next. Flinging accusations like that never ends well.

[stopkissingme]

Klaus isn't here so you can't use him as a threat.

[selfishing]

I wouldn't use him as a threat. You may remember me but we were never properly introduced. I'm Elena's mother. Isobel. And I don't work for Klaus.

[stopkissingme]

Don't even try to pull the whole 'I don't know what you're talking about' act with me. I know everything. You're not just Elena's mom, you're a vampire.

[selfishing]

That's a little pot calling the kettle black, isn't it, Caroline?

[stopkissingme]

I'm not the one pretending not to know what I'm talking about.

[selfishing]

I'm not pretending, Caroline. [ She doesn't pretend. ] And I'm not asking for much. Tell me about Anatole. How long you've been here. Damon.

[ Her eyes travel right before landing squarely back on the Forge. ]

Matt. You two were together. The last time I checked. Is that still on?
