Oh, right, and Phoebe frickin Tonkin!


That guy is a real jerk.

Klaus and Damon









Communication, people. It's the key to any healthy relationship.





But those aren't huge complaints.


What did everyone else think?

    I want Stefan and Elena back together :/
    Am I the only one? I wish that these heightened feelings towards Damon are only something similar to the sire bond!


    Rebekah didn't actually kill Matt, she was just allucinating from the werewolf poison in her system. You know, like Rose and Damon when they were bitten



    Why is nobody wondering how the hell Matt died (rebeka ript his heart out) and then moments later he shows up to feed elena...Am I missing something????


    Lots more action in this episode.From the episode guides I thought I was going to hate it, but Rebekah's 'war on Elena' lasted two seconds and it was back to business as usual.The way she stalks Elena though is actually quite creepy and disturbing, she just seems to follow her around everywhere.
    Im actually disappointed with Rebekah, it would have been better to have her more like Elijah than Klaus.
    I actually like April, even though she does not know whats going on, we learn more about Elena pre her parents' death. Why is Rebekah suffering hallucinations, we know why Elena is. I can't wait to see Elena slowly lose her mind, if only to give a new dimension to her character .Of course everyone will run round to try and help Elena, and Rebekah will be left to suffer. Klaus is a tiny bit more appealing as he teams up with Damon to get information rather than whine on about himself all the time. Rebekah does that now.It would also be nice to see Elijah or Kol back in town,just for a change.
    I was also quite disappointed in Stefan's holier than thou attitude towards Rebekah attacking Elena in the kitchen, he should have confronted Rebekah rather than lectured Elena. I hope the Five do not turn out to be a disappointment, and if Connor needs Elena for something isn't trying to kill her with werewolf blood a little silly. As for werewolves, poor Tyler, having a syringe shoved into your gums, OUCH!


    Jeremy as a bad ass? Really? I love TVD, but something is seriously not right there. He will always be that weedy younger brother that no one really cares about, and this episode did nothing to change that.


    Also in agreement with the new intro. It's beyond cheesy and annoying.


    TVFanatic, you asked "When did Jeremy tell Damon that Connor talked to him at school?" - when Elena talked to Damon in his bedroom he said that he had talked to him.


    @Jenna i completely agree with u about Damon, he is taking advantage of Elena when she's vulnerable but i think its just another way for the writers to drag out the love triangle. If they want Elena with Damon then get them together but don't make her choose Stefan then carry on with dragging Damon into their relationship, i guess we'll see where this goes.

    I like the new friendship between Stefan and Caroline but i hope it doesn't turn into anything more, I am still hoping for Caroline to get with Klaus at some point. Overall, great episode...looking forward to knowing more about the Five that Klaus mentioned.


    @Lovesrtuck And just why CAN'T Elena have both Stefan and Damon? I've never understood this either/or crap that love triangles always devolve into. As long as Elena truly loves them both and they return that, then there's nothing wrong with having them both.

    As for this episode, I liked the fact that they had a lot more action than they usually do, VD has always filled up the time with a bunch of irrelevant crap that never ends up actually going anywhere and I'm glad to see they kept that to a minimum.


    I don't understand why people keep complaining about Elena going to Damon instead of Stefan to help with her Vampire issues. It's been established that Elena HAS TO drink from the vein. Stefan is the absolute worst Vampire when it comes to drinking from living humans. It would be like hey Mr. Alchoholic can you take me out drinking at the bar!? Not a good move. Damon on the other hand might actually be the best. I don't think he has ever lost control to his hunger since the show started. Yes he would get upset and lash out but even that had nothing to do with the hunger, he was just getting mad (IE. When he kills Matt/Alaric X2 he doesn't even drink from them just kills them).

    I really hope they do something with Stefan's character soon though because he really hasn't done anything exciting/interesting/entertaining in quite a while.

    I also think they need to repair Stelena's relationship ASAP with something a little more compelling than a cheesy motorcycle ride. Even though I am a Delena fan and don't want there scenes to ever end haha, I feel Damon on the outside of the relationship is a much more intense situation then broody Stefan. I don't think his character would play as the third wheel role. He seems like he would try and get as far away from the other two as opposed to Damon's get inbetween the two method haha. Although it does open the door for another Ripper meltdown which I always find better then the alternative option.
