Paying homage to their “Vampire Diaries” roots, tonight’s episode starts off with an excerpt from an actual diary. Elijah’s diary, to be exact, which Hayley seemed to have dug up in her quest to snoop through the Originals’ lives. It’s a semi-poetic entry from 1359 that makes a nice prelude to the episode with Elijah’s fears of his family’s dwindling mentalities in becoming vampires. Fitting, seeing as this episode focuses on the cutthroat execution of Klaus and Rebekah’s first phase of taking down Marcel and getting Elijah back. And just what is this plan, Hayley (and we) wonder? Well, the first attempt is to simply ask Marcel for Elijah back. But that’s just Plan A, little wolf. There’s always Plan B – it’s this little pill you probably should’ve taken the day after you slept with a murderous hybrid. Oh…sorry. I meant, war.

[Due to the football takeover of Pix 11, this episode didn’t air in the NJ/NY area until tonight, hence the late recap.]
For those who weren’t paying attention to the final scene of last week’s episode, don’t worry! Bonnie is here to recount the murder of her father by Silas to you, and Jeremy. She explains how he told the entirety of the Town Square to forget watching him kill her dad and focus on finding Katherine. And, while they continue fighting their heart wrenching battle with not being able to touch each other, one thing is clear – don’t give Silas what he wants. And what he wants is Katherine.

Season five of “The Vampire Diaries” premieres with a few new characters, a few new plot twists, and just the right amount of blood. This is a vampire show, after all!
The prelude of the episode gave glimpses into each character’s summer: Caroline spent the entire summer planning for college and pining over her long distance boyfriend Tyler (we miss you, Michael Trevino! Well…I do). Elena spent the summer kanoodling with Damon on probably every surface in the entire boarding house while dreaming about Stefan’s drowning misery. Is it a doppleganger thing? Speaking of dopplegangers, a now human Katherine was seen struggling through her summer and trying to survive. Girl needed a serious spa day. Just saying! Jeremy, meanwhile, channeled his inner Haley Joel Osment and stayed in touch with his ghost girlfriend. Poor Bonnie is stuck on the ‘other side’ with only Jeremy who can see her. But who would have guessed that Matt was the one who had the most adventurous summer? He spent his two months traveling the world and sharing a bed with a certain Original blonde bombshell and a super hot brunette kleptomaniac in Amsterdam. Sure, she took the Gilbert ring that keeps him from dying but hey. A threesome is a threesome. Get it, Matt!
