Vampire Diaries: Oh, Stefan. Oh, honey.

[butterfly]

So, hmm. Bad instincts or blurring lines?

In "The House Guest", Stefan has just spent the night with Elena, it's implied (she's pulling on her shirt). They make out for a few minutes.

Then when he goes downstairs and is confronted with 'Elena', it takes her about five seconds to convince him that he was spending the night and morning sexing up Katherine, enough so that he goes upstairs and chokes Elena.

Again, I understand why Elena was so pissed off in that next scene.

Anyway, that just really hit me when I went to rewatch the episode.

arabian - after rewatching those scenes, I agree with you. They're going somewhere with the Stefan stuff. Just... very slowly.
