(Chapters 1,2,3)
As the relationship between Claire and Seth grows closer, the relationship between Justin and Claire gets weaker. She has known him for quite a long time, but the fact that he is jealous of Seth and that Seth wants to join the track team doesn't do much good for their relationship. Claire tries to convince both men in her life that they should get along, because she would die if she had to chose between them. Justin on the other hand thinks of it in a different way and he states that if she wants to stay with Seth he can no longer be friends with her. This seems like the end of their friendship of years and it leaves Claire a little heartbroken. In the meantime we follow Payton and Jason who spend a little more time together. Payton is still on edge around him, but now she knows more about him it seems like she is able to put a little bit more trust in him. Their relationship is very platonic at this point, but they are both trying very hard. Although Payton still really doesn't like Jason, the fact that she knows more about his past seems to help a little. Claire wants them to get along and she convinces them to go on a hike and picknick with her and Seth. Payton doesn't want to at first, but she doesn't like the idea of her sister being alone with Jason and Seth, so she agrees to come with them. While they are settling down for lunch at the side of the river some uninvited guests join their party. The three unknown vampires make an attempt on killing both Payton and Claire, but Jason and Seth seem to be able to prevent that. Back at the Dawsons James shines a light on who those three vampires might be. They're his long lost siblings who want to take revenge on him.
Payton continues to be in a miserable place as the Dawsons try their best to cheer her up. Alyson takes Payton on a shopping trip, Dylan tries to watch movies with her and Nate even tries to explain to her how the alarm system around the house works. None of those attempts on cheering her up are succesful. Claire and Seth go on a scavenging trip that brings out memories from Seth that will reveal some of his backstory. In the meantime Justin runs a new record and he seems to win his old confidence back. While Seth and Justin compete for the titel of captain their relationship doesn't really seem to get better. After the storm comes sunrise. The Dawsons travel across the globe to celebrate the holidays and Payton and Claire are invited. Claire convinces Payton to come too and in the end Payton will be thankful to her crazy little sister. While everybody enjoys spending time on the beach and with each other Payton wonders if she has made the right call opening herself up. Her doubts quickly get a definitive answer as a special surprise awaits her for New Years Eve. While the others are toasting on the new year she decides to go take a walk on the beach. The person she meets there will make her whole holiday a lot brighter. Jason has returned from his punishment with the Anconi and they couldn't have a better beginning of the new year.
As Claire and Payton try to deal with losing their powers the vampire brothers are struggling with some other stuff. All of their pasts are very complicated, but they feel like they need to tell their girlfriends everything. Seth invites Claire over to come and take a look in the big closet that houses all of the vampires clothes from centuries ago till this day. Claire is intruiged and this is a great opportunity for him to tell her more about who he is and why he has become this person. In the meantime Jason and Payton share a very special moment as Jason reveals more about the women of his past. He talks about his mother and sister, but we also hear the word May for the first time. Payton is so glad he has finally opened up to her in that way that they share a very special night after... With the finals almost over and everybody busy with what dress they should wear to prom Alyssa couldn't have picked a better time to drop by for a visit. She is a big party animal and she decides to invite herself to the party. Not knowing if he has already a date she decides that Justin should take her to prom. He is very thrilled at first because Alyssa is one of the most beautiful and most confident girls he has ever seen in his life. At prom she seems to have more eyes for other boys and he soon realises that he has been used as an excuse to get inside. Payton, Claire, Jason and Seth enjoy themselves and have no idea about what is going on with their friends. At the end of the party Alyssa decides that Justin has seen to much of her and she makes him forget everything that he knows about her. This also erases his memory of knowing about vampires and witches. The morning after a cleaning crew has to come back to the school to help clean up the mess from the night before. Claire and Justin have volunteered in an attempt to save their friendship and talk to each other. Claire had spend the night at the Dawson house, so she has to get back to the school for the clean up. She just never makes it there. When Justin gets worried he decides he needs to call someone. Seth is immediately alarmed when Justin tells him Claire is still not at the school and he says they'll go search for her. In the meantime Claire is locked up in a cabin wth an unknown vampire. He plays some very bloody games with her and as she tries to escape things get even messier. She loses a lot of blood, but there is nothing she can do about that. As the others search for a way to find her, her condition keeps getting worse. Payton is finally able to find out where the kidnapper is hiding Claire. She and the Dawsons are trying to figure out how to get her out of there and when they have a plan they go to the rescue. With a little distraction and Seth rescueing Claire they are able to get her out of the cabin in the woods. When Jason sees who has kidnapped her he feels a great shock. Payton notices, but she knows now is not the time to ask him about it. The kidnapper escapes and Nate and Dylan go after him, but they are not able to catch him. At the Dawson house Elisabeth is the one to take care of Claire but they are not able to wake her up. The blood she has lost is too much and they need to keep her in a coma to keep the pain away.
