The Vampire Diaries Timeline

Tyler Lockwood in a relationship with Vicki Donovan

Bonnie tells Elena that her Grams keeps telling her that she's psychic. Revealed that Bonnie's ancestors were originally from Salem. Bonnie contemplates the idea considering that she predicted that Obama would get president on his election and also Heath Ledger's death. They almost crash after a crow fly's into the car windshield and gives Bonnie a fright.

Jeremy is seen giving drugs to Vicki Donovan. He started doing drugs after his parents death and, even after summer, is still taking pills. Elena confronts him in the boys toilets and tells him to quit, summer's over and she doesn't want to watch him destroy himself anymore.

The students of Mystic Falls High School return after summer break.

Matt confronts Tyler about what is going on between him and Vicki, his sister.

Jeremy asks Vicki why she isn't interested in him anymore. She tells him that she pretty much used him for drugs over the summer. It's revealed that Vicki took Jeremy's virginity when they were both high. She wants him to back off before he ruins things between her and Tyler.

Caroline reveals all she found out about Stefan during third and fourth period to Bonnie. She also adds that they are 'planning a June wedding' before walking away.

Bonnie has a vision of a crow, fog and a man. She blames it on the alcohol but Elena remembers what she saw in the cemetery the day before and isn't so sure.

When Tyler tries to have his way with Vicki and she refuses, Jeremy arrives and tells Tyler to leave her alone. Vicki labelled as a slut by Tyler before he walks away because she said 'No.'
Vicki pushes Jeremy away as well and walks into the woods by herself.

Damon attacks Vicki in the woods as she is walking back towards the party. She survives.

Elena follows Jeremy into the woods, seeing that he is drunk. When he trips and falls onto someone, they see that it is Vick, with blood on her neck. She wakes up briefly when Jeremy touches her face.
Jeremy carries her back to the party and Matt is instantly by their side along with Tyler and Bonnie. Stefan watches from a distance, knowing that it's a vampire attack but leaves quickly.

Vicki is taken to hospital in an ambulance with Matt as Elena watches.
Bonnie tells her that her and Caroline are going to The Grill for coffee and wait to hear news on how Vicki was doing and Elena tells her that she has to take Jeremy home.
Bonnie then tells Elena that, while there's no way that she's psychic, whatever she saw earlier when she touched Elena, she feels is just the beginning.

Elena talks to Jeremy about moving on from the death of their parents and carrying on with their lives.

Caroline opens up to Bonnie about the one-sided rivalry she shares with Elena. She admits that, although she tries so hard, she's never the one that's picked. It's always Elena, and she doesn't even try.

Vicki wakes up in hospital and tells Matt what it was that attacked her; 'Vampire.'

Jeremy lies to Jenna, telling her he wanted to get to Woodshop to finish a bird house. Jenna doesn't realise this until she tells Elena where he's supposedly gone. He actually goes to visit Vicki in the hospital to make sure she's okay.

Bonnie explains to Caroline that technically she is a Witch and that her ancestors were 'some Salem Witch Chics'. Even Bonnie doesn't take what she's saying seriously and, carrying on the mocking of Bonnie's 'powers', Caroline asks her to conjure her the 'name and number' of the guy she saw in the grill the night before [a.k.a Damon].

Jeremy confronts Tyler about Vicki, asking him what he knows he doesn't but should know, since he apparently cares about her so much. The pair almost fight before Jeremy warns Tyler to stop playing Vicki.

Elena questions Matt about Vicki. More is revealed about Matt's home life. Stefan listens to the conversation from a bench not that far away. Matt tells Elena that Vicki claims it was a vampire that bit her.

Grayson and Miranda Sommers Gilbert are killed when their car drives off a bridge into a lake. Elena, who was in the back seat, somehow manages to escape and survive.

On their way home from a concert, Darren Malloy and Brooke Fenton are attacked by Damon Salvatore. They don't survive. The murders are described as an animal attack.

Damon attacks and kills a couple that are camping out it the woods, hoping to see the passing comet.
