| Matty Blue Eyes |
Matt joined the neighborhood watch but just when he was about to settle into being a regular watchman that helped old ladies with their groceries, Matt discovered that his teacher, Trip was secretly a vampire hunter training other vampire hunters. And Trip isn't just protecting Mystic Falls, he's claimed the whole Eastern Seaboard as his territory. So far Matt has stayed loyal to his vampire buddies but lately he's starting to question his morals.

| That is some dog bite |
We need to see this from Trip's point of view. Damon came back to Mystic Falls then after a fight with Stefan he did what he always does, lash out violently and drop bodies everywhere. One was Sarah's mother who was around six months pregnant then there was Trip's wife. He was compelled to think that she died in a car accident so he blamed himself. If you were compelled to think that and live with all that guilt you would be pretty upset too. Down right devastated! Trip was another of Damon's victims in more ways than one. His first encounter with a vampire did not leave a good impression so naturally he believes that all vampires are evil when we know there are really good ones.

| Sometimes it's easy to forget his friends are killers |
Matt is a very sympathetic person who stands up for the humans caught up in the supernatural. When Matt is first introduced to this dark world he naturally found it abhorrent. Yet in the end he saw that even though his friends were bloodsuckers they were still the same people he grew up with and they were still human in some way. They still felt pain, sorrow, regret, and remorse and that makes Matt forget and even forgive their murderous nature. But now he's getting wise and believes that he should be wary of his vampire friends. They're still blood thirsty monsters so Matt is going to do his best to help the innocent humans.

| I have a bad feeling... |
Hearing Trip's sad story about losing his wife you can see the conflict on Matt's face. He was probably thinking that it was either Damon or Stefan that caused Trip's pain. For now Trip may act as a sort of mentor and although Matt's position with this guy would be useful for his friends to keep an eye on him, Matt may keep certain things from his friends if he thinks it will protect the people of Mystic Falls. Matt is a very loyal friend so even if he does begin helping Trip he'll make sure his friends stay clear.

| Red mulch... sure |
Mystic Falls has been fang free and for the first time I think Matt feels like he's getting close to the way it used to be where he didn't have to worry about if any of his friends or other dangerous supernatural creatures snacking on the locals. Matt still hangs with his mates but he's going to be giving serious thought as to if he's going to allow his blood thirsty friends back into town if they ever find a way back in.
