In Welcome to Paradise, Elena tried to set him up with Caroline but ends up kissing Elena, expressing that he likes her.

In The World Has Turned and Left Me Here, Liam spends his time at the College party with Elena. After Tyler's car accident, he helped, along with Elena, to make sure other students survived. Later on, he sees a girl he was trying to help survive being healed up at once, after leaving Elena taking care of her. That made him suspicious that Elena was keeping a secret. Elena kisses him after being blown away by his bravery and act of heroism.

In Do You Remember the First Time?, he encounters Damon, Elena's 'dead' boyfriend while attending a charity event hosted by Whitmore College. Later on, he reveals that he looked into the girl that Elena saved in the corn maze and discovered that she had never been admitted to the hospital, as she had no injuries. He announces that he believes Elena to be a "liar with secrets."

In Fade Into You, after joining the Friendsgiving dinner with members of the Parker family and Elena & Caroline, Elena revealed to him that she is a vampire and supernatural creatures exist. That was an instant reaction of her but also a test for their relationship. After seeing Liam reacting in an upset way, Elena compels him to forget that he ever liked her and that they had a relationship, but remember only that they're just friends and fellow college students.

In The Downward Spiral, no-humanity Caroline encounters Liam, stating that she completely forgot he existed. She made out with him at a party and begins to use him as a feeding bag. Since she was the last person he was seen with, she decides not to kill him and instead to keep him alive. When Stefan tries to turn on Caroline's humanity, she kidnaps Liam and Sarah Salvatore, and compels Liam to cut Sarah up. Elena stops him just in time before Liam grabs her heart. Elena twists his wrists, knocking him out, and saves Sarah by feeding her vampire blood.
