Season Five[]
In I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jesse invited to Caroline and Elena to a party at Whitmore House. Jesse was passing out fliers for the party and showed a specific interest in Caroline when he greets her and Elena after they arrived on campus. When Elena introduced him to Caroline, she simply said, "Hi," and left. Later, Caroline and Elena ran into Jesse again outside Whitmore House when they arrived for the party, but since the house turned out to be owned by a human at the college, the girls were unable to enter due to being vampires. Caroline and Elena awkwardly told Jesse and Megan to go ahead without them and claimed that they were waiting for a friend to cover up for this unexpected obstacle.
In True Lies, when Caroline and Elena arrived at Wes' Applied Microbiology class to spy on him after they learned Wes had covered up Megan's death, they discovered that Jesse was also in the class. He jokingly asked Caroline if they were going to the bonfire, or if they were just going to get really close and turn back at the last moment, but Elena assured Jesse that Caroline would be there.
At the bonfire, Elena asked Jesse some questions about Dr. Maxfield, curious as to why he was so rude to Elena and Caroline in class earlier. Later, Damon walked into the room where they were talking and punched Jesse in the face, having seen him with a piece of wood in his hands that could have been a stake. When Elena and Damon left, Caroline tended to Jesse's wounds and informed him that Damon has anger issues, and after they talked for a few moments, Jesse tried to kiss her. Caroline awkwardly pulled away and admitted that she had a boyfriend, which led Jesse to open up about his last girlfriend and how they ended on a bad note, revealing he had a lot in common with Caroline.
In For Whom the Bell Tolls, Caroline was talking on the phone with Elena about Stefan and how he had lost his memories, where she informed her that she was studying hard to learn more about it for Stefan's sake. She added that she did it to impress Dr. Maxfield so she could get closer to him and find out why he covered up their roommate's murder by a vampire. Before the girls hung up, Caroline revealed that Jesse was her new study buddy.
Caroline invited Jesse to the traditional Remembrance Day celebration in Mystic Falls, an annual holiday where the town honors the dead members of the community. The two went to the cemetery and set up a picnic so they could hang out and study together. Jesse asked her why she invited him, to which she replied that it's because he's smart and nice and she likes being around him. Jesse distracted her and took the opportunity to kiss her, before quickly apologizing and returning to their studying.
Later, Caroline met with Stefan, who had recently lost his memories, and who immediately recognized her after having seen pictures of her earlier. He remarked that she was much hotter in person. Jesse interrupted their conversation when he returned with drinks, so Caroline, knowing Stefan wasn't quite in control of his vampire urges, asked Jesse to give them a moment alone. Stefan pointed out to Jesse that he was hungry and could smell that he had a paper cut on his hand, forcing Caroline to compel Jesse to hide until she came to find him. Stefan distracted Caroline by asking her if she had any blood bags, but when she turned and asked him to follow her, Stefan disappeared.
Caroline later got a call from Jesse, who told her that he was hiding in a crypt and he didn't know why, so Caroline left to go find him. When she finally arrived, Stefan was there, feeding on Jesse, forcing Caroline to pull him off of him. Stefan, angry after having learned about Damon and Elena's relationship earlier, informed Caroline that he had to go and vamp-sped out of the crypt. Caroline went to check on Jesse's wounds, and seeing that his injuries were serious, Caroline gave him her blood to heal him and later compelled him to forget what happened. The next day, Jesse went to the lab to work a shift as Wes' lab assistant, and received a physical examination from him after Jesse admitted to having blacked out part of the night. Wes realized that Jesse had vampire blood in his system and injected him with a compound to stop his heart, effectively killing him and starting Jesse's transition into a vampire.
In Dead Man on Campus, it was revealed that Jesse had survived the transition and had been routinely starved of blood and then, unbeknownst to Jesse, had been fed vampire blood to train him to crave it over human blood. Jesse was seen attacking Dr. Maxfield and escaping the lab after having received a large tranfusion of "Augustine blood." He returned to his dorm room that he shared with Aaron Whitmore, and immediately called Caroline to ask for her help, subconsciously knowing that she would understand. After Caroline agreed to come over, Aaron returned home, and Jesse was unable to control his bloodlust and ultimately fed on Aaron nearly to the point of death. Caroline arrived in the middle of Jesse attacking Aaron and instantly intervened before asking in frustration, "Who the hell turned you into a vampire?" Elena joined them some time later with a cooler full of blood bags for him, and she and Caroline teach Jesse to heal Aaron with his blood and to use compulsion. At the party Elena and Caroline were throwing in their dorm, Jesse and Caroline dance together, where Caroline showed Jesse the positive aspects of being a vampire, such as heightened sensations of touch, and the two share a romantic moment when Jesse kisses her for the second time.
Meanwhile Damon was torturing Dr. Maxfield for information, and he revealed that he was trying to create a new kind of vampire with Jesse serving as the test subject. This new vampire, which became known as the Augustine Vampire, would crave vampire blood instead of human blood, eliminating humans as an ideal food source and thereby protecting humans from harm at their hands. While Damon was learning this information, Jesse's lust for Caroline's blood became even more heightened when he accidentally bit her lip, and the scent of her blood caused him to vamp-out. Not wanting to hurt her, Jesse rushed to the lab to confront Wes about what he had done to him. Unfortunately for him, he once again became overcome by the scent of Damon's blood after Wes had stabbed him with a scalpel, and Jesse lunged for him to feed on him. However, because Jesse craved vampire blood over all else, he was much stronger than the average newly-turned vampire, allowing Jesse to overpower Damon. Elena arrived at the last moment and had no choice but to kill Jesse to save Damon from having his head ripped off by Jesse. Caroline arrived too late, and watched in horror as Elena staked Jesse in the back. Caroline later made it clear that she felt hurt that Elena had to kill Jesse.
