The CWPoor, poor Caroline (Candice Accola).
The Vampire Diaries fan-favorite didn't get the chance to savor her long-awaited romantic moment with her BFF-turned-something-more Stefan (Paul Wesley) in last week's episode, because almost immediately after they shared a passionate and beautiful kiss—on a cabin porch in the woods with the sunset in the background no less (swoon!)—Caroline found out her mother, Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) was dying in the hospital.
She raced to the hospital to spend her mother's last few moments with her, giving her a beautiful memory to leave with, and we cried buckets as Caroline was forced to say goodbye to her mother all too soon. Aaaaaand we just started crying again.
Since Caroline is Caroline, she's going to attempt to cope with her grief by doing what she does best: keeping busy.
Caroline is going to spend tomorrow's episode, appropriately and heartbreakingly titled "Let Her Go," running around, assigning herself and her friends tasks as she preps for her mother's funeral. But in the midst of all her planning and running errands, Caroline is going to be preoccupied with one thought and one thought alone: that hot Steroline makeout.
We've got an exclusive clip from the episode that shows the very moment when Caroline can't keep her secret kiss with Stefan a secret anymore, and she blurts out the news to a shocked Elena (Nina Dobrev). How will Stefan's ex handle hearing about their makeout? And more importantly, how do Stefan and Caroline feel about their makeout in light of Sheriff Forbes' death?
