“If I did, who would ‘report’ her death?” – Damon to Alaric who tells him not to kill his reporter girlfriend
This was a really weird episode of The Vampire Diaries for me. It seems as though a ton of stuff happened, but when all was said and done, we’re really left in the same place as we started. We had some gratuitous violence (I’ve never seen so many still-beating bloody hearts in one hour), some creative torture to piggy-back on last week’s torture of Caroline and some sappy Elena / Stefan moments. But did we really get anything more?
Well, maybe.
I’m thinking a lot about the secret weapon room in the lakehouse and the places the writers could go with that. We know Jonathan Gilbert’s other journals are there, so that’s a hotbed of information to fuel the rest of the series, which could be great. But were Elena’s parents more than meets the eye? Were they demon hunters, part of the council, what? Or are we just being teased and it’s all Uncle Jon’s paraphernalia?
I guess we learned why Luca and Dr. Martin are Elijah’s bitches, though, and their reasons are no different from what motivates every other character on this show: they love their family and want to protect them. Can’t blame them for that, and now that Bonnie and friends know, hopefully they can join forces and help each other defeat Elijah and Klaus.
This and that:
