Oct 9, 2009 1:56 PM Posted by cwmusic In “You’re Undead to Me,” Elena does some investigating to get to the bottom of Stefan’s secrets and Damon finds a way to flee from his cell. Let’s touch up on all the highlights of this week’s episode:
The Great Escape
We all knew Damon was going to escape one way or another. But, the way he went about it was pretty slick. I thought things between him and Caroline would’ve been dunzo by now, (c’mon Caroline, he tried to kill you!), but I guess there’s no way of resisting Damon’s charm, or at least his “power of compulsion.” I guess it didn’t help that the verveine was out of Caroline’s system, either. With that sexy voice of his, Damon lures Caroline into the Salvatore home to open the door of his cell, right as Damon breaks poor Uncle Zach’s neck in the process. Damon is out on the loose, and he’s out for blood! Literally. Stefan had better watch out, since he’s the one who locked up Damon in the first place. Besides getting the girl, this gives Damon even more reason to hate his younger bro. No brotherly love here.
It’s Just a Bunch of Hocus Pocus
In this episode, Elena becomes that much more closer to figuring out Stefan’s secret. After a strange, ominous man recognizes Stefan and reveals that he’s known Stefan for 56 years, Elena uncovers a news clip from 1953 about Stefan’s Uncle Joseph getting murdered and happens to spot you-know-who. Elena gets all cynical in her diary, saying that she never was a believer of magic, but all her recent discoveries are changing her mind. A montage of all the clues follows. I’m glad Elena is finally realizing what Stefan really is. I was getting kind of worried that they would drag on her ignorance even further.
Black Magic Woman
Bonnie is a witch you don’t want to mess with! Using her powers to splash water on people and set cars on fire? Very Carry-esque (and we’re not talking about the one from Sex & the City). Even though Bonnie is starting to hone her craft, she still can’t fully control it, and she seems to fall into a trance whenever she does use her powers. Confused over her newfound abilities, Bonnie goes crying to her granny, who consoles her. Bonnie’s grandma seems to give off that I-know-what-you’re-going-through type of vibe, so I’m assuming granny is an experienced witch. I wonder if granny is going to teach Bonnie any new tricks (as if Bonnie needed anymore reason to be dangerous, right?).
Girl, Interrupted
There’s no doubt that Vicki is a hot mess, but who knew it was this bad. Just when you thought that she was starting to change for the better by ending things with that big bully Tyler, the girl sinks to even newer lows, stealing Elena’s pain killers and toking up with her loser friends at the cemetery. Even Jeremy, the druggie himself, questions Vicki’s habits. She also becomes Damon’s victim, yet again, as he takes a big bite into her. Is it me or is Vicki always happening to fall into this cycle of abuse? Poor girl. I wonder what Damon has in store for Vicki. Caroline has been his go-to girl so far, but will he use Vicki in the same way? Wouldn’t it be great if he turned Vicki into a vampire? Sure, she’ll carry on even more destructive behavior, but at least it’ll keep her away from the drugs. Just say no, kids.
This week’s episode ended with a cliffhanger, as Elena stormed into Stefan’s house asking the lingering question, “What are you?” Looks like Stefan has no other choice but to fess up in the next episode. Catch The Vampire Diaries on Thursdays @ 8 PM on the CW 44cable12.
