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.

This week on “The Originals”, you’ll come to find your definition of a “harvest” is about to change. The episode picks up right where we left off in Davina’s attic where she and a grey faced Elijah have a stand off of sorts. Throughout their exchange, please note how intently he keeps looking at the throbbing pulse in her neck to imply that he’s hungry. Well, duh! The little witch wonders what the “honorable” Original could want with her, and he shares his belief that, together, they could stop the war between witches and vampires before it begins. On his end, he’ll keep Klaus in check and all he asks of her is to behave as her true self, not some tool for Marcel or the witches. Why should she trust him? What, the fact that he hasn’t pounced on you and drained you because he has class isn’t enough? Apparently not, and she decides to test his will with a prick of her finger. She begins teasing him with the drop of blood on the pin until he takes it, and just like that, the hideous grey face paint disappears and he looks like normal ol’ Elijah again. (more…)

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…)
