“ | You can't miss Friends-giving. I mean, Matt and Jeremy are already cleaning up the whole Tripp mess, and Caroline's mom has to work. We're already low on friends as it is. | ” |
Friendsgiving was a Thanksgiving-style celebration between friends that took place at Whitmore College in 2012 in Fade Into You.
Season Six[]
In Fade Into You, Elena and Caroline couldn't go back to Mystic Falls to celebrate Thanksgiving, so they decided to host "Friendsgiving" at Whitmore instead. It was revealed during dinner that Jo was Luke and Liv's oldest sister and hadn't seen them in over 18 years. Jo told the story of what happened with her 'tragically dysfunctional' family on May 9, 1994. Meanwhile, in Portland, Oregon, Damon, Stefan and Alaric were visiting Joshua Parker, the father of Jo, Liv, and Luke, to ask about Kai. After learning Damon had escaped from the 1994 Prison World, Joshua realized Kai had a chance of escaping as well. Believing Jo wouldn't survive The Merge, he cast a spell to kill her. Elena healed Jo with her blood, and in the process revealed to Liam that she was a vampire, though he was later compelled to forget.
Trivia[]
- The Parker Family's tragically dysfunctional history is fully revealed after being alluded to in Do You Remember the First Time? by Jo and in Black Hole Sun by Kai to Bonnie and Damon in the prison world when they discovered his secret.
