Florence to Alaric in Best Served Cold

In Live Through This, it's presumed that the vampire spirit is possessing Jo Laughlin's body when she lashes out at Alaric, ending up escaping his grips with a gun.

In Best Served Cold, it is revealed that she is dying because her vampire spirit wasn't fit to be inside a human body. She later dies and makes peace with Alaric. It is also revealed that she believed her name to be Florence.
