Since the last new episode, we've had Thanksgiving, Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's. Brand new year! Same old Mystic Falls! THANK GOD FOR THAT.
Okay, before we get any further in, I'm calling it now: Dr. Mary Fell. Mary = short for Meredith? PLEASE DEAR GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING THREE YEARS FOR THIS.
Ahem. Okay. Now we can get started.
Previously on The Vampire Diaries: Tyler and Caroline broke up over a fundamental disagreement re: his being Klaus' minion; Stefan, newly freed from Klaus' whammy, stole the pile of coffins Klaus carries with him at all times; and Damon and Elena got closer to...whatever, this year's going to end with Delena, I need to just accept it.
SO: Caroline sad, Tyler hurt, Bonnie hurt, Jeremy sad, Damon cranky, Elena startled, Stefan smug, Klaus FURIOUSLY ANGRY. This will end great, won't it?
1) I'd pay real money to know where those coffins are.
2) SO: in Bonnie's dream, she's in the woods, headed for a mausoleum. (It looks a lot like the Salvatore one we see in s1, but that could just mean it's in Mystic Falls/the remains of Fell's Church. Point is, the surrounding land looks a lot like it.) Inside the mausoleum--or maybe the witch shack; it looks like both, kinda--she goes through one empty, dilapidated room into a second, which contains four coffins. One of those has Klaus inside, in what looks like a funeral suit, with Esther's necklace wrapped around one hand. So--you know, in case you missed that part.
3) I pretty much called the random jogger actually being a hybrid or a random Klaus whammied, but it's no less freaky seeing Elena get chased down by a stranger in a hoodie. Strangers in hoodies do you no good, Elena! Remember the pizza guy? Turned out to be a vampire?
4) Ahahahahahahah Damon playing bartender while Alaric grades. "I'm just sayin', somebody's gettin' naked." WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TWO OF YOU, OH MY GOD, JUST MAKE OUT. And Alaric, who is really, really used to Damon by this point, just tries not to snicker and looks surly at Jeremy's midterm grade. WHAT.
(Alaric, why are you grading papers at the bar? That is not your home! You technically still have an apartment!)
5) Jeremy--fired a week ago--is drinking and shooting at shit in the woods, with Alaric's crossbow, with Tyler. Wh--it's like you are not even listening to me, kid, oh my God. That is eleven kinds of dumb, starting with: YOU ARE IN THE CURSED MURDER WOODS.
6) "You like [Alaric]?" Paranoid like Elena, whatever, but I didn't like that note in Tyler's voice at all.
7) SO: the only two ways to kill a hybrid? Cut off their heads or rip out their hearts. Write that down, Littlest Gilbert, and distribute it freely. Nail it to the wall of a public building! I'm not picky. Or, I don't know, PHONE TREE?
8) "You're a day drunk." Elena, be fair: Damon's pretty much an anytime drunk. Happens to be day now! It'll be afternoon in three days.
9) I appreciate that Bonnie is just as wary with Stefan now as--well, as she's been since she found out he was a vampire, really, but it's more tangible now. That lady does not like vampires. (Also, other than Damon, she was the first to figure out that Stefan not on the good patch = not the nicest guy. This is because Bonnie is smart.)
10) I just really like the "typical, atypical family" bit. That's sort of all of them, in a really messed-up way. UGH MY FEELS FOR FOUND FAMILIES, LET ME TALK ABOUT THEM AT LENGTH.
11) Jeremy is acting like season 1 Jeremy. And let me tell you, pre-Damon whammy, I was not fond of that kid at all.
12) Having seen the whole ep, my feelings about Tyler remain unchanged from pre-winter hiatus: you can love him, you can worry about him, but you guys really need to stop seeing him as being on Team Salvatore and just stop talking about shit when he is in listening distance. He's Klaus' minion! He's pretty okay with that! STOP TELLING MINIONS SHIT.
13) Okay, also, re: Jeremy's missing vervain bracelet--uh, why are you guys not dosing your coffee and juice in the morning? Take it in front of other people! You can take a bracelet off, but it stays in your system for a while depending on the build-up.
14) Aaaaaaand then Jeremy INVITES IN TYLER. Oh my God, Littlest Gilbert, you earn a lot of points back with the Tony thing, but that? That was a dick move. Compelled or not, dick move.
15) "Never miss up a chance to plan an epic failure." Remember, kids: there are no bad plans, just awesome plans that don't work out.
16) Seriously, you don't have to be dicks to Tyler. Just treat him like a really, really casual acquaintance you don't talk about personal things to or around. No one likes it when you're dicks.
17) SO: the whammy is mind control, whereas being sired is more like faith. Which brings up thorny theological issues, but it's worth it for Tyler being all "blue screen no no no I DO NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS" when he realizes that if Klaus told him to rip out his own heart, he would totally do it.
18) And then! Klaus tells Jeremy, who came pre-whammied, to take off his ring and jump in front of a speeding SUV (driven by Tony the hybrid who vaguely looks familiar in a really irritating way)! And Jeremy does! And Alaric knocks him out of the way!
I know it's just a dummy, and you could sort of see it coming because two people have a Gilbert ring and one of 'em had his off, but Jesus God watching Alaric Saltzman bounce off the hood of that SUV was horrifying. Don't do that, show, oh my God.
19) Klaus doing home renovations is just funny to me.
20) Jeremy's idea to flee Mystic Falls is maybe not the best, simply because I see Klaus like the demon from Paranormal Activity: if you leave, he'll just follow you. That dude has free time on his hands. He should seriously consider joining a book club.
21) Ahahahahahaha the witch house isn't talking to Bonnie anymore re: saving Jeremy, but man, do they still hate Damon.
22) Looking back on it, Stefan playing a dick who doesn't give a shit about Elena's little brother is a really good performance. Like, creepy good. You earned that slap, Littlest Salvatore.
23) Oh man, Damon wading into the house that hates him to bitch out his baby brother? UGH THIS SHOW. Salvatore fights! Salvatore fights, of course, always involve grievous physical harm and some light torso stabbing. (You see now why I'm holding out for Thanksgiving at some point? Oh, wait, no, Christmas. Mystic Falls Christmas. Just the idea makes me squeak. That's like that time Buffy made a bear happen.)
24) --seriously, though, what the fuck, Damon, did you sharpen up a walking stick? That thing was huge.
25) "Stop saving me!" Have I mentioned that I love this show's through lines more than actual family members I have? Two things Damon is always going to hate: people trying to save him, and people taking responsibility for things he did. He might be working on himself, but if you try and do it for him you're gonna lose a limb.
26) And then Alaric gets up, looking shaky, and sneezes, and HOLY SHIT WAS THAT A BLOOD CLOT? I swear to God, I thought for a minute he'd coughed up jewelry.
27) Tony whammying the paramedics and casually threatening to let Alaric die if Elena doesn't invite him in is - I haven't hated a one-off like that since Low-Rent Channing Tatum. Good job by the actor, but was I glad when Jeremy showed up.
28) --oh, and also, HOLY SHIT JEREMY GILBERT FOR THE WIN. Crossbow to the back and cuts his head off WITH A MEAT CLEAVER. "Something I gotta do first." You ended up a player, kid.
29) "Don't try [deflection] on me. I invited it." Kinda.
30) "We all want the same thing." Dead witches hiding the coffins! In a conspiracy with Stefan (and now Damon) to keep them from Klaus! Oh man, you know--based on what Vicki and Anna said--that the main conspirator in that? Is ESTHER. I love this show so goddamn much, you guys.
31) MEREDITH SULEZ: NO LONGER AMONG THE MISSING (OR, YOU KNOW, A SULEZ)
Seriously, if this Meredith ends up like book Meredith, I--well, I'm cautious, because it's habit, but this show is really good at making everyone the best versions of themselves. So if I tell you that Meredith Sulez is a half-vampire hunter-slayer (no, really) who ends up engaged to her history teacher, Alaric Saltzman, with a dead vampire twin brother (no, really), that...basically means Dr. Meredith Fell goes hunting vampires at night and handles herself like the goddamn Batman. HAVE I MENTIONED THAT I LOVE HER A LOT?
Dear Julie Plec: it took three years, but you finally did it. Kudos to you and yours, lady, especially Michael Narducci. I AM ROLLING AROUND IN THIS LIKE A BASKET OF PUPPIES.
32) ...that said, Meredith didn't get a lot to do, expect prove that Torrey DeVitto-Wesley has really great teeth. I've seen her in other things--I don't watch PLL--and I'm cautiously optimistic, but realistically she had, like, two minutes' screen time tonight. This is all mostly based around HOLY SHIT, MEREDITH HAPPENED. But still! Optimism! It's a weird feeling, on this show.
33) It's cute that Elena thought giving Klaus Rebekah would, you know, make him stop trying to kill her loved ones. No, honey, he'll just switch which loved one.
34) The quarry = Steven's Quarry. I would need to rewatch s1 to get a read on that, but whatever: I am one step closer to that map of MF I intend to draw at some point.
35) Hey, remember when Damon was joking about Alaric's ring needing a recharge that second time he killed him? Yeah, he might have not been off on that.
(I also think it might have been because the SUV striking him was what kill him, and that Tony driving was the technicality that brought him back, but otherwise, Bonnie should take that into the shop, tout suite.)
36) Remember Elena Gilbert from the pilot? Nice girl, missed her parents, was still getting used to her grad student aunt raising her and worrying about her stoner little brother? Yeah:
"I think I got most of the blood off the porch."
That girl's gone. This town burns things out of you.
37) "She knows you killed your mother. You can let yourself out." There's the Petrova fire. It hides, sometimes.
38) And for all that he misses Rebekah, he's not willing to let her run around and mess up his shit before things are fixed and perfect, so back to being daggered it is. Come back soon, Claire Holt! Bring Daniel Gillies with you! NO, REALLY.
39) Seeing Elena and Alaric want to talk to Jeremy was bad enough; seeing Damon there was worse.
"Your sister wants me to have one of our talks with you again."
See, Jeremy's sixteen. Elena was normal at sixteen, at least for part of it; she lost her parents, but that happens sometimes. She had friends. She dated Matt, and broke up with him. She went to school. She cried. She watched shitty movies on TBS. She had sleepovers. She was normal. The weird shit didn't start 'til she was seventeen.
At fifteen, Jeremy's world went sideways. His parents died; he found out the world was a lie. His sister was dating a vampire; his sister's best friend was a witch; the guy who'd been a dick to him half his life was a dormant werewolf. He fell in love with a girl; she was a vampire, too, and she was killed. He fell in love with said sister's best friend--who was a witch--and still loved the vampire, and both those things ended. He died a bunch of times--a bunch of those times at the hands of his sister's ancestor, who looked freakishly like her--and came back every time, and he did dumb things, and he did brave things. He was shot, once, by Caroline's mom. He saw ghosts. And he cut off a guy's head on his front porch.
He's sixteen years old. He shouldn't have to live like this.
"You're going to leave Mystic Falls behind, and never think twice about it again."
For his sake, I hope so. I don't honestly think that'll happen, but he should get to be normal for a while. Just a while.
40) Also, and this could just be me fanwanking but I don't think so, I really like that every time he has to really talk to Jeremy--either whammying or just talk to him, like in "Founders' Day"--that Damon is almost gentle with him, or as close as he comes. (He was also almost gentle telling Alaric he couldn't come after Jenna and Elena and Klaus. He's only a dick when things are going okay.)
41) I would also maybe warn Denver about the sudden influx of mountain lion attacks when people come after him, but we can wait on that for the night.
42) "Estranged is bad. Dead is worse." I'm pretty sure that's stitched on a pillow somewhere in the boardinghouse.
43) And then Damon tells Elena that Stefan stopped him from killing Klaus to save his life, because that tiny part of his conscience he hasn't managed to strangle over the 160+ years occasionally pops out and starts talking for him. I love that thing. He always looks pissy when he's doing it, too.
44) Also, while I'm talking about things I like--oh my God, this whole week--it's kind of nice that he's always been like, "Yeah, no, I am totally in love with Elena. It sucks. Stupid feelings." He and Sherlock would have some fucking amazing fireside chats, I tell you what.
45) "If I'm going to feel guilty about something, I'm going to feel guilty about this."
Okay! In no particular order:
a. Considering they've been dating for over a year, Ian and Nina manage to make me believe that Damon's never really kissed her before, and Elena's legit gobsmacked at it. Points.
b. For all that I am not a Delena person--no, really--I will say that it feels a hundred times more believable on the show than it does in the books. (My book post will probably be over the weekend. Warning: adult language.)
c. --fine it was sort of hot DON'T JUDGE ME I WAS CRYING THREE MINUTES EARLIER.
Next week: "To beat the villain, you have to be a better villain." Yeah, Stef, that'll work out great. Salvatores vs. hybrids! "Our Town", next Thursday, 8 PM EST.
Okay, before we get any further in, I'm calling it now: Dr. Mary Fell. Mary = short for Meredith? PLEASE DEAR GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING THREE YEARS FOR THIS.

Damon, this is why you should have taken over raising your brother.
