Most people at bus stops tend to avoid making eye contact and stay silent while they wait for the bus to show up. But not Silas. Nope. Silas will give you his life story about how he fell in love but cheated on someone else in the process only for it to all blow up in his face 2000 years later. And where has it left him? “Now my neck hurts, my soul is crushed, I’m sitting at a bus stop in friggin Delaware – ” Actually, you’re in Philly. “Philly? That’s even worse.” And as payment for this correction, he treats the male half of the couple he was entertaining to an untimely death by liquifying his organs. Instead of making a real effort to stop him, the Juliet to this poor Romeo runs off. Just like a woman, eh Silas? (more…)

What’s a better cause for celebration than surviving a near death experience and being free from the person hunting you down to kill you? Pretty much nothing. And with a little – well, a lot of breakfast, Katherine is doing just that. In a horrifying turn of events, her celebration is short lived when a waitress points out the distinct streak of grey in her hair. Curious Case of Katerina Petrova? Let’s hope not.
Another form of celebration is shacking up with your main squeeze and kanoolding romantically in front of the fire. Damon and Elena are getting comfortable and enjoying the happy moment, until it’s interrupted by a now mortal and ready to die Silas. Elena doesn’t trust him to bring Bonnie back so he relays his plan for the umteenth time – before he destroys other side, he’ll bring Bonnie back. He just has to find anchor and destroy it. And of all places for it to be hiding, it just so happens to be in a warehouse in New Jersey. Yeah, yeah. Get your digs in, Damon. I will remain a proud Jersey girl, nevertheless. A wild Jeremy appears. He threatens with his crossbow but it is not effective. Silas uses the five finger flames effect. It is super effective. Just before the troupe is off to find the anchor, Silas assures Elena she won’t be coming along. And just for good measure, he shoots an arrow into her leg. I always knew there was a reason I liked him.

If you skipped Science class to go Trick or Treating today, don’t worry. “The Vampire Diaries” will catch you up on what you missed. …Sort of. In Dr. Maxfield’s lab, newly transitioned vampire Jesse is stuck on the lab table undergoing a series of tests. As the creepy professor records his progress here’s what we learn: Jess has gone three days without feeding, and as a result remains weak but lucid; sensitive to light; confused, yet self aware; his personality is in tact; and hunger is his primary focus. This makes him the “perfect candidate.” If you’re wondering what for, I’m sorry to tell you you won’t be finding out this episode.

Remember when Stefan was always writing in his diary, brooding about his life as a vampire? No? Well, neither does he, thanks to his witch inflicted amnesia. But it’s a good place to start, according to Damon. However, reading about how guilt ridden he was about killing his father, turning Damon and becoming the Ripper of Monterey isn’t exactly convincing Stefan. He’s accepted he’s a vampire, that he needs blood to live, and that he’s the fun brother and Damon is the safe one. Well, we all know how well Damon would take that. And true to form, he proves his worth by spinning the car out of control enough to total it and kill them. If they were human. But they’re vampires, so they just kind of roll over and have themselves a nice chuckle. (more…)

So a starving vampire walks into a bar… No, wait. There’s a punch line. A starving vampire walks into a bar and sizes up the unsuspecting bartender. By the way, the vampire is Stefan, back from his underwater vacation. So he goes ahead and takes a bite out of the bartender but, just to keep things casual, he then compels her to run away. As he walks out in an attempt to leave, his corroding skin alerts him to the fact that his daylight ring is gone and he starts to go up in flames and burn and die and then – Elena wakes up. See? Punch line. Elena’s quick to tell Damon about her dream of his brother, which…is not exactly the kind of good morning a guy wants to get, but hey. Dreams are just dreams. That is, until Katherine reveals she had the same dream. Doppleganger powers activate! (more…)
