“	We're fine. But if you're trying to be the good guy again, why don't you do the right thing and give us one day? Just one day without any vampires in it?	”
	— Jeremy to Stefan in Before Sunset

Jeremy Gilbert is the adoptive brother and biological cousin of Elena Gilbert and also a medium. Prior to the beginning of the series, his parents died in a tragic car accident that his adoptive sister Elena managed to survive. As a way of coping with the accident, he started dealing and using drugs but soon stopped after the death of his first girlfriend.

He recently started a romantic relationship with Bonnie Bennett, and in a turn of events, Jeremy was shot and killed by Sheriff Forbes in early May of 2011, only to be revived by his girlfriend who is a witch. However, the spell that caused him to be revived had consequences. It gave Jeremy the power to see ghosts, more specifically his two ex-girlfriends, Vicki and Anna. He went to live with family friends in Denver after getting compelled by Klaus to stand in front of a speeding car. He is now back in Mystic Falls after Elena and Damon went to get him after Klaus figures out where he is.

Early life Edit

Jeremy was born to Grayson and Miranda Gilbert in Mystic Falls sometimes in the year of 1994. The two had always wanted a child but adopted a baby girl named Elena two years prior to that. As a young teenager, Jeremy was gifted with the talent to draw, however after his both of his parents died, Jeremy became servery depressed and started using drugs and drinking continuously. He also starred a sexual relationship with Vicki Donovan, although she later broke up with him and started dating Tyler Lockwood.

Season One Edit

Jeremy was born in 1994. He was taking drugs, which he is seen sharing with Vicki Donovan, with whom he had a sexual relationship over the summer. He was also a major alcoholic, which was hard on Elena, his older sister. Jeremy had feelings for Vicki who later became a vampire. She was killed by a stake to the heart by Stefan soon after being sired by Damon. Before Jeremy, she was involved with Tyler, which caused them to dislike each other. After they broke up at the Founder's Party, Vicki went over to Jeremy's house and kissed him which started their relationship.

After Vicki's death and Damon erasing his memories of her, he met Anna, a seemingly normal home-schooled girl who turned out to be a vampire trying to rescue her mother from the tomb. While Anna was using Jeremy,she started developing feelings for him, and so did he. Jeremy in a previous episode, demonstrates that he is starting to remember as he Bings "vampires" and sometime afterwards, while at dinner with Anna, Jeremy tricks her into exposing herself as a vampire to him by cutting his hand. He then later reveals to her that he wants her to turn him into a vampire.

Soon after, Caroline Forbes discovers the remains of Vicki's body in the woods and, grief-stricken, Jeremy admits to Anna that he wanted to be a vampire so that he could find Vicki and be with her. Despite this, and after a period of distance, they grow close again and soon began dating. However, Anna's mother Pearl was killed by John Gilbert leaving Anna devastated.

Anna gave Jeremy some of her blood wanting him to become a vampire and tells him about how you can shut off your emotions. He was hesitant about it and told her that he wanted to, but doesn't think he can. She left and they later met at the Mystic Grill, when the device was activated and several of the cops took her away. He heard of her death from Damon who had a heart to heart talk with him and also gave Jeremy his apologies for turning Vicki and offered to erase his memories of Anna. Even though he was hesitant at first, after he heard the news confirming that she was killed, he drank the blood Anna gave him and took over 20 pills containing hydrocodone which is a potent opiate drug used for moderate to severe pain.

Season Two Edit

In the Season 2 premiere his attempt to become a vampire failed because he didn't take enough pills to kill him and the vampire blood he drank was healing him. After Stefan checks on Jeremy to make sure that he is not a vampire, John gives Jeremy his ring which protects him from dying through supernatural causes. This saves Jeremy's life when a distraught Damon snaps his neck in a fit of blind rage. Jeremy is later seen talking with Damon and threatens to expose his secret, though Damon is not scared in the least and tells Jeremy that his special ring will not save him.

When Damon arrives home he finds Jeremy in the house with a wooden stake in his hand. Jeremy informs him that he put vervain in the drink. Damon asks him why, Jeremy says he was going to kill him, but he abandons his plans saying that killing him will not solve anything.

After a while, Elena tells Jeremy that Mason Lockwood is a werewolf but asks him not to get involved. She explains that it is dangerous and asks him to stay away. At the Mystic Grill, Sarah and Aimee are playing pool when Sarah admits that she finds Jeremy attractive. Jeremy approaches Tyler and asks how he is. Tyler thanks him for being "cool" at his father's wake and Jeremy explains that he understands how Tyler feels. Aimee arrives to go home with Tyler, and Tyler invites Jeremy and Sarah to join them. Later, Sarah and Aimee are dancing and drinking at Tyler's house.

Sarah spots Jeremy's sketchbook and asks to have a look. She finds lots of drawings of werewolves and Tyler uncomfortably asks what the pictures are about. Jeremy asks if Tyler still draws, and Tyler offers to show him something he is working on in the other room. When they move through, Tyler shuts the door and slams Jeremy up against the wall asking why he drew pictures of werewolves. "I know what you are" Jeremy tells him.

He asks how Jeremy knows about the werewolves, and Jeremy explains that his ancestor wrote about a curse running in the Lockwood Family in his journal. Tyler admits that Mason is a werewolf, but explains that he is not one yet. He reveals that you have to cause death to become a werewolf. Jeremy asks if Mason returned to tell him this, but Tyler reveals that he had to force the information out of him. "He's not here for me," he says. "He's here for this." He shows Jeremy the moonstone. Later, he explains that the moonstone is a natural rock which is supposed to have supernatural legends attached to it.

Jeremy asks why he didn't give the stone to Mason, and Tyler admits that he doesn't trust his uncle. Suddenly, Aimee and Sarah arrive and steal the stone, teasing the boys with it. Tyler says he will play for a bit but asks for them to give it back. Aimee, who is drunk, grabs the stone and runs upstairs with it, asking for Jeremy to follow. Tyler climbs up after her and tussles with her, but all of a sudden Sarah falls down the stairs. She lays at the bottom, not moving, and Tyler and Jeremy exchange worried glances, thinking she might be dead. However, Sarah suddenly opens her eyes and tells them: "Fooled you."

In Plan B, Jeremy arrives at the Salvatore house and asks to speak to Damon. Damon initially refuses to listen. However, Jeremy explains that Tyler Lockwood isn't a werewolf yet because he hasn't activated the curse and adds that Mason is looking for a moonstone. Damon is intrigued, and Jeremy explains that he knows where the stone is. "I just want to help", he adds. He admits that Elena doesn't know about this. "Your search for life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic" Damon tells him.

At the Salvatore House, Alaric arrives and asks what Jeremy is doing there. Jeremy explains that he found out about the moonstone. Alaric reveals that he has Isobel's research from Duke and explains that the werewolf curse is sealed with the moonstone. He adds that Mason might think he can use the moonstone to unseal the curse. Jeremy explains that Tyler has the moonstone and claims that he will be able to get it. "Now your life has purpose", Damon tells him. Damon arrives at the Lockwood house and tells Elena that Jeremy is helping him out.

Elena finds Jeremy and tells him that whoever helps Damon ends up dead. "I want you to stay out of it," she says. However, Jeremy explains that he is in this mess because of her and tells her that she can't tell him what to do. Meanwhile, Damon is shocked when Stefan tells him about Katherine and Mason. He suggests that Katherine must be using Mason, adding: "That's the beauty of Katherine - always up to something." He explains that Jeremy is getting the moonstone.

In the Mystic Grill, Jeremy approaches Tyler. He asks if he can have another look at the moonstone, claiming that he has been doing some research on it. Tyler reveals that he has given it to Mason. Back at the Salvatore house, Damon is using a hot poker to torture Mason for information about Katherine and the moonstone. Jeremy arrives with a plant and explains that it is sometimes called wolfsbane.

He adds that mythology suggests that it is toxic to werewolves. Damon takes the plant and holds it up against Mason's cheek. When Mason suggests that Damon is jealous of his relationship with Katherine, Damon stuffs the wolfsbane into Mason's mouth.

Jeremy looks on uncomfortably. He tells Damon that Mason would have spoken by now but Damon continues to torture him. Eventually Mason reveals that Katherine is going to use the moonstone to lift the werewolf curse so that he doesn't have to turn anymore. He adds that she is going to do it because she loves him. "She's using you, you moron", Damon tells him. Mason says that he is done talking and Damon agrees, telling Jeremy to go for a walk. Jeremy refuses and tells Damon not to hurt Mason anymore. Damon grabs him by throat and says: "Here it is. Kill or be killed". The guy's a werewolf - he will kill me the first chance he's got, so suck it up or leave. He wants me to kill him anyway, don't you Mason? It really is a curse, isn't it?" Jeremy leaves.

Elena is at home and asks where Jeremy is. Alaric explains that he went to his room because he wasn't hungry. Later, at the hospital, Elena tells Jeremy that the doctors said Jenna will be alright and admits that Jenna doesn't remember anything because of Katherine's compulsion. She explains that Katherine was trying to send a message and Jeremy tells her it's going to be okay. As they hug, Elena replies: "No it's not." However, Jeremy says: "She's going to pay, Elena. I don't know how, but she's going to pay."

In Masquerade, Jeremy is seen with Caroline, Bonnie, Stefan, and Damon as they prepare to kill Katherine at the Masquerade ball. Jeremy agrees to help and he assists Bonnie while Stefan, Damon and Caroline deal with Katherine. Jeremy is seen striking up a conversation with Bonnie about her abilities and says they are cool. Jeremy is then seen asking what kind of spells Bonnie can do and even asks her if he can dance with her while they wait, to which Bonnie replies "no." Damon then sends Jeremy a message and tells

him to do his part. Jeremy tells Katherine that Damon and Stefan have the moonstone and want to see her by the lake. When asked why he is their messenger, Jeremy replies "Because they know I am not afraid of you."

When Katherine is seen fighting with Damon and Stefan it is revealed that her friend Lucy has cast a spell linking her and Elena together so that whatever happens to Katherine will also happen to Elena. Elena shows up at the party and Jeremy and Bonnie notice that she is bleeding and being hurt, so Jeremy runs up to the room where Damon and Stefan are fighting with Katherine so he can tell them to stop, because they are hurting Elena.

Jeremy is later seen with Bonnie asking her if she wants a ride home. Bonnie jokingly asks when he got his license. Jeremy laughs and says that he is not a kid anymore and Bonnie says yes, so he takes her home. It seems as though Bonnie and Jeremy are developing feelings for each other.

In Rose, it is Jeremy who helps Stefan figure out that Elena has been kidnapped saying "It's cool that you guys are back together but if Elena's gonna stay over, I need to know so I

can cover for her." Jeremy also helps Stefan and Damon figure out where Elena is being held by letting Bonnie use his blood. Later Bonnie is up in his bedroom with him and they send a message to Elena, telling her Stefan and Damon are on their way.

The message drains a lot of power from Bonnie and causes her to faint and Jeremy has to care for her. When Elena finally gets home Jeremy is relieved showing that whatever problems he had with her and her secrets are all over.

In Katerina, Bonnie is in the School parking lot then she drops her books. Jeremy helps pick up the books and then asks her if she wanted to play billiards at the grill (showing that he really does like her). Bonnie agrees and then a new guy asks them if they know where the office is.

Jeremy introduced Bonnie and himself to the new kid who is named Luka. Jeremy ends up taking Luka up to the office.

In the Mystic Grill Jeremy comes over to Bonnie who is with Luka and Jonas and then escorts Bonnie to the billiard table and they start playing pool. The date is then hijacked by Luka, whom Bonnie finds out is a warlock . Jeremy is jealous of Bonnie's new-found relationship with Luka and leaves the Grill.

In The Sacrifice, Jeremy is seen with Stefan, Damon and Bonnie who are preparing to take the moonstone from Katherine. Bonnie takes a picture that belongs to Katherine and turns it to ash so they can blow the

ash on Katherine which will knock her out for a minute or so. When Jeremy realizes that Bonnie is going to try and release the spell over the tomb that is holding Katherine, he becomes worried and tells Bonnie she could get hurt because she is not strong enough.

Bonnie insists that she will be okay, but Jeremy takes some of the ash behind Bonnie's back and goes to the tomb alone. Jeremy tries to get the moonstone out of the tomb, but Katherine stops him before he can leave, and bites him on the neck so she can feed.

Bonnie and Stefan appear and find Jeremy being held captive by Katherine. Bonnie attempts to lower the barrier over the tomb, but passes out again. Katherine attempts to feed on Jeremy again, and Stefan rushes into the tomb to save him, and gets trapped himself. Jeremy heads home with Bonnie and the two start arguing.Bonnie asks Jeremy why he had to get involved. Jeremy said that he wanted to protect her.

Bonnie says that Jeremy can't feel that way about her. Jeremy attempts to kiss Bonnie, but she says that she can't. Bonnie then goes out the back door of the house leaving Jeremy alone. When Damon arrives at the house with Elena Jeremy informs them of what happened to Stefan.

In By The Light of the Moon, it still shows that Jeremy has still strong feelings for Bonnie after he tried to kiss her. Jeremy comes in as Bonnie says she needs some coffee and she places the moonstone in her bag before leaving. Jeremy asks Elena why she’s on some suicide mission. With nobody around, Elena takes the moonstone and heads downstairs, telling Bonnie she’s going to visit Stefan.

Bonnie blocks her, as Jeremy says the moonstone’s gone. Elena reminds her Klaus is coming and she can’t allow him to harm her family and friends. Elena finds her front door has been blocked by a seal. Bonnie tells her it’s for the best.

Jeremy gives Bonnie a huge smile because their plan worked. Damon tells Jeremy, Bonnie’s dealing with the moonstone, as he’s on ‘Elena Patrol’ and Caroline’s with Tyler. Damon tells Jeremy to keep an eye on Elena, as he leaves. When Elijah is invited in, Elena runs up to Jeremy's room and bangs on the door but Jeremy is listening to music, then goes to answer his door, and asks Elena "What is it?".

In Daddy Issues, At Recent Victims Memorial Jeremy sees Bonnie talking with Jonas Martin which seems to be upsetting her, he comes up and interrupts their conversation and walks away with her. Later he is seen at Mystic Grill restaurant with Bonnie having a good time.

In Crying Wolf, he is seen coming into the Mystic Grill after Bonnie rang him, and started talking to Caroline, she tells him Bonnie is over there with Luka. "She's giving him a sex smile" - Caroline, "Alright Caroline, I get it." - Jeremy. Jeremy is shown to be jealous about Bonnie and Luka and Caroline can see the way Jeremy feels about Bonnie. After Bonnie has done a powerful spell on Luka, Jeremy rushes over to take Luka back to Caroline's house.

When they get into Caroline's house, they find candles so Bonnie can do the spell. When Caroline was going to get the matches, Bonnie lit the candles then Caroline said "Come on that's pretty hot.".

Bonnie asks Jeremy if he could get her a bowl of water, then Caroline pushes out Bonnie's feelings for Jeremy. When Bonnie is asking

questions for Luka, he brings up the Sacrifice of Elena and Jeremy just says "No" and shakes his head. When Caroline is taking Luka back to the Mystic Grill, Bonnie and Jeremy are left in the house by themselves and all of Bonnie's feelings for Jeremy start to come pouring out. Bonnie says she's known him forever through the good and the bad times. She also says "And over night you turned into this hot guy who's really sweet an -" but then gets interrupted by Jeremy saying "You think I'm hot?". Then the two share a very passionate kiss.

In The Dinner Party, Jeremy goes into the Grill and sees Bonnie sitting on a table by herself and asks "What are you doing?" and Bonnie says "thinking about last night and the spell". Jeremy is upset that Bonnie doesn't say anything about their kiss last night. Then Luka comes over and Jeremy tells him to back off because he was interrogating Bonnie about last night. Jeremy then asks if Bonnie if she wanted to go over to his house. Later on in the episode Bonnie comes over to the Gilbert House to practice a spell, but then when she walks into the house there are lots of candles lit, she is slightly hesitant, thinking it's a date. But Jeremy finally agrees that it'll just be time to work on some spells.

They practice a spell with fire then Jeremy asks if she can practice on him because the human body is

mostly water. Jeremy was helping Bonnie to enhance her channeling ability. So Bonnie puts her hand on Jeremy's chest, they both smile. But then Jonas breaks in and in anger he takes away her powers and threatens her that "she'll answer to him if any harm comes to his son". Meanwhile, Jeremy is put up against a wall by Jonas' powers. Jonas threatens Bonnie then leaves the house. Bonnie starts crying because her powers are gone and Jeremy comforts her in his arms. In The House Guest, Stefan informs Jeremy and Bonnie that Katherine is back. When Stefan leaves, Jeremy

tries to kiss Bonnie but Bonnie is concerned that people might see. But she quickly kisses Jeremy and says she will tell Elena soon. Then at the Mystic Grill Bonnie tells Elena about her and Jeremy and Elena approves. Back at home, Bonnie admits that she feels bad that Luka died but Jeremy says that he doesn't. Bonnie adds that she hated not being able to help.

Upstairs, Jeremy admits that he is worried about Bonnie because the only witch who could have given her back her powers is dead. However, Bonnie reveals that when Jonas grabbed her, he returned her powers. She adds that Jonas wants her to kill Klaus and Jeremy replies: "Did he include a how?" Bonnie reveals that he did and kisses Jeremy.

In Know Thy Enemy, Jeremy, Bonnie and Damon go to the Martins' house to pick up the grimoires. Bonnie works with Jeremy and Damon in order to find the spell they will need to gather the power of the witches killed in the massacre. Damon takes them to the site where the witches were burned. Damon knew where it was because he had tried to save Emily, but only because she was the key to getting Katherine back. Inside the house on the site of the massacre,Damon finds that he cannot move and tells Bonnie that if this is a prank it's not funny.

His ring then stops working and he begins to burn. He tells Bonnie to help and she closes her eyes and starts muttering a spell. Damon is able to move again and Bonnie tells him that she doesn't think that the witches like him being there. He exited the house.

Then Bonnie called the witches and soon after she got a lot of power. Jeremy is worried about Bonnie after getting all the power from the witches. Later, Bonnie and Jeremy are at Elena's house when Jeremy reads the warning the witches gave to Bonnie and is upset because if Bonnie uses too much power she will die. He asks her how much power she will need to kill an Original and Bonnie tells him that she needs all of it. She tells him that if she dies it was to save Elena, him, and everybody else.

In The Last Dance, you see Jeremy and Bonnie walk into the lunch hall and

Jeremy confronts Bonnie saying "Do you think Elena knows what it's going to take for you to do that Klaus spell?" Then Jeremy reminds Bonnie that this power could kill her. Then Elena walks in and he leaves. At the school dance Jeremy confronts Bonnie again on why she wants to kill herself for Elena and they are overheard by Damon. Jeremy goes to Stefan for help and Stefan tells Elena.

After his conversation with Stefan, Jeremy is attacked by people Klaus compelled. When Bonnie pretends to die and Elena's holding her in her arms she says "No. Jeremy. Oh, my God, Jeremy. What about Jeremy?". Damon finds Jeremy and tells him everything about Bonnie, he goes to where Bonnie is being kept safe. He strokes her on the cheek and starts to light candles. When Bonnie wakes she hugs him and he promises to stay there with her.

He appears back on episode The Sun Also Rises. Over at the old witches' house, Jeremy and Bonnie look through the Grimoires to find a way of stopping Elena becoming a vampire. Meanwhile, Elijah, Alaric and Stefan arrive to speak to Bonnie. Elijah explains that the sacrifice will happen in stages - the werewolf will be killed, then the vampire, and then the doppelgänger. He says that once Elena dies, the curse will be broken and Klaus will become a hybrid. However, this will also be when Klaus is weakest and Bonnie will be able to deliver him to the brink of death. Elijah says he will finish the job. Inside,

Jeremy reveals that he thinks he's found a spell that might help and decides to ask Stefan to bring Jonathan Gilbert's journals for more information. Alaric appears and asks to speak to Jeremy alone. He explains that Jenna has been taken. Bonnie casts the spell on John and Damon, Bonnie and Elijah leave for the sacrifice. Jeremy wants to accompany them, but Bonnie kisses him and casts a spell to make him pass out. Meanwhile, Jeremy asks John if he read everything about the spell and knows what happened to the mother after the child was brought back to life. John admits that he does and adds that he has saved his daughter and found peace.

He hands Jeremy a letter and his ring, asking him to give them to Elena. Alaric is unsure what is going on but hears Damon and Elena return. Damon puts Elena on a couch and tells her that if she comes back as a vampire he'll stake her himself. Alaric and Jeremy appear and ask about Elena. Damon is forced to tell them both that Jenna was killed. As they gather, John quietly leaves the house. Elena wakes up and admits that she feels fine. Outside, John collapses on the ground, dead. Later, Elena gets ready for John and Jenna's funeral. Jeremy arrives and hands her John's letter and ring. Elena apologizes to him that he has lost so many people, but Jeremy tells Elena that he still has her. They hug sadly and Jeremy leaves.

In As I Lay Dying, the episode opens with Elena watching Jeremy sleeping. Later, Jeremy and Elena arrive at a special outdoor screening of Gone With The Wind. Jeremy is unconvinced but Elena explains that they need to keep living normal lives until Jenna's death isn't so hard to deal with. Caroline arrives with picnic food and tries to keep their spirits up. Alaric calls Jeremy, who is at the Gone With The Wind screening with Bonnie and Caroline. Jeremy admits that Elena went to see Damon and Alaric warns that he's in bad shape and the cops are after him. He advises Jeremy to get Elena somewhere safe if he finds her. Bonnie tells Jeremy to wait behind, but Jeremy refuses, saying that for once they can't stop him from getting involved. Jeremy finds Damon and helps him into the Mystic Grill. Inside, Jeremy calls someone to tell them they are at the Grill. Liz arrives and shoots at Damon, but he rushes off quickly and the bullet hits Jeremy. Liz is shocked and, at that moment, Caroline and Bonnie arrive. Bonnie points out that Jeremy's ring won't work because he was hurt by a

human, not a supernatural creature. Caroline feeds Jeremy her blood - much to her mother's shock - but it doesn't work. Bonnie realizes that she knows what to do and takes him away with Alaric, who has just arrived.

Alaric and Bonnie take Jeremy to the witches' house and Bonnie tries to use the power of the old witches to revive Jeremy. She casts a spell but begins to worry as the other witches are angry at her for returning and don't want to help. She says there will be consequences, and Alaric tells her to get them to shut up as Jeremy is just a kid. Bonnie continues to cast the spell but her nose begins to bleed and she sobs. She calls to Emily, begging her to help as she loves Jeremy. However, the candles go out. Bonnie sobs as she believes Jeremy is dead for good, but then he wakes up. Bonnie hugs him and thanks Emily for helping. Jeremy returns home and searches on the internet for "back from the dead". Bonnie speaks to him on webcam and he admits that he feels weird, but Bonnie points out that he has just been brought back from the dead and it's bound to feel strange. She jokes that he can thank her "tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that". They say good night and Alaric appears, explaining that he's going to head off. However, seeing how Jeremy looks, he decides to stay the night. Jeremy thanks him for everything he has done. However, Alaric teases Jeremy by revealing that he overheard Bonnie's suggestion that he thanks her "tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that".

The episode ends with Jeremy, who believes he has heard a sound. He thinks it is Alaric, but as he looks over the stairs, someone appears behind him. They soon disappear again. He walks downstairs but is shocked to see Anna standing in the kitchen. When he turns around, Vicki is standing there.

Season ThreeEdit

In The Birthday, back in Mystic Falls, we find out that Jeremy's been working at the Mystic Grill, where we find out that Bonnie's away with family but is staying in touch with Jeremy on the phone. But he hangs up when the lights start flickering, and then Vicki and Anna appear and disappear. Matt arrives in a bad mood to ask Jeremy to switch sections. At the party, Jeremy smokes weed with Matt and Jeremy reveals that he has been seeing things, but doesn't quite tell Matt that his dead sister is one of those things. Jeremy offers to give a drunk and high Matt a ride home, but he suddenly sees Vicki in the car, asking him for help, he says: "Vicki", which confuses Matt.

Jeremy tries to shake it off and turns on the headlights, but Anna is standing right there. Eventually, he decides it would be best to walk. When they get back, Matt asks Jeremy why he said Vicki's name - and realizes that earlier Jeremy had been seeing things. Jeremy admits that he keeps seeing Vicki, but Matt shrugs it off, saying that he always sees Vicki because he misses her so much.

Jeremy seeks the aid of Matt in The Hybrid to try and contact Vicki as he's her brother, which would allow a stronger connection. While they go through some of her things, Matt realises he can't go through with it and asks Jeremy to leave. He had left a photo of him and his sister on a crate, and when he turned around again it was standing upright - not the position he had left it in.

This leave Matt confused, and he goes back to Jeremy, where they ultimately try and make a connection. Vicki appears to Jeremy at first, telling her she can come back. Glass shatters as she leaves again, and Anna pops up, warning Jeremy not to trust Vicki.

In the episode Disturbing Behavior, Jeremy makes a startling discovery, now being able to communicate with Anna better. She tells him more about "The Other Side", that communicating with him is sort of a "push and pull" situation, how lonely she is being all alone, and the darkness she keeps feeling when Jeremy mentions Vicki. She warns him again that he should not trust her, or "let her in". Katherine reveals to Damon that she kidnapped Jeremy and placed him in the back of the trunk after she discovered his secret from Bonnie - he can see and communicate with ghosts. Pearl told Katherine she had heard of a vampire that could kill Klaus, but wouldn't share anything more.

Katherine knew that she could only trust one other person with this information, and that was Anna.

As she was dead, the only person who could reach her was Jeremy. After Damon threatened to hurt Jeremy (and actually knocking his head against some wood), Anna quickly told Jeremy about Mikael, but warned him not to wake him. Jeremy and Katherine team up to find the tomb and finally come to stand before it. As Katherine opens the crypt, Mikael awakens.

Jeremy and Anna soon discover that they are able to touch hands to there delight. In Ghost World at the Mystic Grill.

She tells Jeremy that she won't tell Bonnie because it is his job to. Elena tells Caroline of what happen and Caroline tells Bonnie. Bonnie is surprised and more intent on getting the necklace. At The Illumination Night, Anna is accused of stealing the necklace, but Jeremy defends her. Later,

Anna gives the necklace back and tells Jeremy that Elena is right and she is holding him back. Jeremy goes to the witch house and gives Bonnie the necklace to destroy. She is distraught and asks Jeremy to leave when he tries to explain himself. This leaves their relationship in question. In The New Deal, Klaus almost kills Jeremy by compelling him to stand in front of a car.

In Heart of Darkness, Elena and Damon goes to Denver to pick Jeremy up. They use this ability to contact ghosts to speak to Rose about which vampire she was turned from in order to work out which bloodline Damon , Stefan , and Caroline where created from.

Kol has been one of Jeremy's friends, Jeremy not knowing he is one of the Originals. Elena and Damon stay at Denver for sometime to find out what information Rose has for them.
