Elena is having enough trouble these days with the fact that the guy she loves is a vampire. That would be enough to permanently damage any relationship.
But on Thursday's new episode, she meets a new obstacle: Lexi.

Get a look at Arielle Kebbel in this role below, along with other photos from this week's episode:
