It's Damon recruiting another beta, and one who demonstrates repeatedly that he has GOT DAMON'S BACK. We see it right here where Alaric is immediately on board with Damon's plans and ready to help, and this only continues as Alaric becomes more of a member of the pack.
Yeah, Stefan is completely out of it at the party. And Damon notices and, when he needs him, he doesn't go find Stefan as back-up but goes to Alaric instead.
It really does crack me up that Alaric goes with Damon's read of the situation and back-up him without arguing. Of course, then John screws up any chance he had of getting Alaric on his side by trying to play big scary dog.
It's rather funny the way that John postures and tries to lord it over Damon and Alaric (and anybody else he deems unworthy, read everyone ever) because he thinks that he is a predator and one that is worth note, but to Damon, a threat is assessed, eliminated and life goes on. He's not one to say 'THIS IS MY DIABOLICAL PLAN, LET ME GIVE YOU DETAILS.'
Yeah, John thinks that he's a lot tougher than he really is.
