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…)

There’s only one rule in Fight Club – never talk about Fight Club. …But I guess that doesn’t really hold as strongly with a massive group of vampires conducting their own supernatural “fight night”. In Marcel’s vampiric version of fight club, the rules are simple: the vampire left standing at the end of the night is one step closer to the inner circle and a daylight ring. And the fighters are fierce, holding nothing back. But when you forget to invite the Originals to a party, don’t think they won’t take the opportunity to crash. Klaus and Elijah shortly bring the event to a halt to demand the return of Hayley from Marcel, but it turns out he doesn’t even have her. He just stopped by to say “hey girl, hey” and took off into the night. But since he’s such an accommodating king, he’ll even help find her. His only question is, “If Hayley isn’t here, then where is she?”

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.

There’s nothing like a quiet morning with a good book and some classical music to start your day. And that’s exactly how Klaus and Elijah are starting off. While Klaus ponders “The Poisoned Tree” (as far as I can tell), Elijah skims through his mother’s grimoire, both ignoring the bleeding carcass on the coffee table between them. It’s not so invisible to Rebekah, however, and she makes a point of questioning them to which they respond with some chumminess and brotherly wit. The body was Klaus’ peace offering to his brother for daggering him. But Elijah declines, preferring behavioral changes rather than a bribe. Well. No need to let a nice, tasty bleeding corpse go to waste.

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.
