Meredith is willing to take Alaric down

In All My Children, Alaric is with her in the Grill, having a date. After Damon calls Alaric, Meredith suggests he's still thinking she's the murderer. When Kol wants to seduce Meredith, Alaric stops him by neutralizing him. After Alaric gets pushed by Klaus, Meredith takes him to her apartment. She examines him and tells him not to worry about Elena. Later, Alaric wakes up in the night, taking some medicine. As Meredith is sleeping he finds some papers about Bill Forbes and also the weapon that was used to kill him. Meredith then said he was not supposed to see this and shoots at him.

In 1912, Meredith calls the police and has Alaric arrested, saying he came at her with a knife, and Sheriff Forbes says Meredith healed him with vampire blood. Meredith accuses Alaric of the town's murders, but drops all charges, and gives evidence supporting his innocence. Later that night, she comes over to Elena's house and explains that Alaric really is the killer and he's going crazy.

In Break On Through, It seems that Alaric and Meredith have started dating. She treats Alaric at the hospital and says that he is fine as far as medically. They go to the Wickery Bridge construction site with Damon until he leaves them to talk to Sage. Back at Elena's house, Meredith, Elena and Alaric get news from Caroline stating that Bonnie and Abby could help him but they need something that he used to wear before he put the ring on. He says his wedding ring and then both him and Elena look sympathetically at Meredith since she is his new girlfriend. After his evil alter ego takes over, he attacks her and stabs her leg with a knife. Luckily Stefan and Elena arrive to stop him. Stefan and Elena find a bloody, unconscious Meredith so Stefan heals her with his blood. The next morning, when Alaric wakes up to his normal self and asks about Meredith, Damon tells him that she will be fine.

In Do Not Go Gentle, while under the control of his alter ego, Alaric is turned into a vampire by Esther, in order to destroy the vampire race. When the real Alaric takes control, he kills Esther, and rejects the transition, accepting death instead. Meredith gives him some sedatives to make his passing as peaceful as possible, and tearfully leaves.

In I'll Remember, Elena mentions to "Damon" that she might try to hit Alaric up with Jo from the hospital, explaining that Alaric likes the doctor-type girls, most likely referencing Meredith. Also, Alaric mentions her as his "last girlfriend", not by name. He says that she is, "married to a pediatrician and is living in Alaska." This confirms that Meredith has moved on after Alaric's death. It is unknown is Alaric made an attempt to contact her when he came back to life, or if this was simply something that he observed from his time on the Other Side.
