We're Being Punked, Pedro

Alaric assigns the students community service as punishment for the fight broke out after the game, for which Lizzie blames Josie and Alaric. Hope is also there for using black magic, and starts to bond with Josie. After confronting Alaric, Lizzie is reassigned to the gardens, where she is scratched by a gargoyle and left paralyzed. Josie senses something is wrong with Lizzie and she and Hope return to the school. Rafael and Landon try to make it on their own in the woods, with Rafael using his powers to make money, but Landon shields him from a threatening message on one of the bills. Alaric discovers the gargoyle is the protector of the knife Landon stole, but only from supernatural creatures, meaning it will not hurt humans. Hope and Josie combine their powers to make the gargoyle explode. Jeremy Gilbert saves Rafael and Landon from a werewolf hunter and brings them back to the school. Hope and Landon see one another, but Hope walks away without saying a word. Mystic Falls students Dana, Sasha, and Connor plan to deface the Salvatore School, but are attacked by an unseen being.
