This week's Halloween-themed episode of TVD did its job of providing a bunch of thrills and chills, but the ending came as a complete shocker! If you're like me, you're probably still reeling from last night's twist, but let's try to grasp all of the events that took place:
Dead, Undead, Dead
I'll admit, in the past few blogs, I've been a wee-bit harsh on Vicki (ok...more like maliciously brutal against her), but I actually felt sorry for the girl when she bit the dust. I never would have guessed they would actually kill off her character, for real this time. I’m surprised they did it so soon. This week, it seemed like Vicki was a completely different character, with new energy and in-your-face attitude. I kind of liked it.
How disturbing was all of that kissing action between Vicki and Jeremy! When she bit Jeremy's lip and licked the blood off, I couldn't help but squirm just a bit. The showdown between Vicki and Elena was exciting, but we all knew who had the advantage, so Stefan had no other choice but to step in and drive a stake right through Vicki. I would've liked to see Vicki's struggles as a vampire for at least a couple more episodes. But, hey, I guess it was for the best (she was starting to get a tad whiny, anyway). Who knows, maybe she'll come back from the dead...again?
Damon Flirts With a Cougar
Even with verveine to protect her from mind control, Ty's mom couldn't help but fall for the charms of Damon (who wouldn’t, right?). Seeing Damon flirt up a storm with Ty's mom was a bit awkward, but then again, Damon is actually a bunch of centuries older than her. After having too much cocktails, and not being able to resist Damon’s allure, Ty's mom accidentally revealed too much information. We learned that, apparently, this mysterious Council is trying to get rid of all the vampires of Mystic Falls and that they have access to a whole stash of verveine (via the recently departed Uncle Zach). Little did Ty's mom know that she was actually talking to the number one enemy. If I were her, I would have probably been distracted by his irresistible charm and gorgeous face, too.
Bonnie’s Origins
Bonnie got to know a lot more about her origins and family history through her grandmother. She was getting antsy because she wanted to learn more about the craft. However, her grandmother insisted that she be patient and learn more about the history first. I'm also getting antsy to see what other abilities that these witches have. I'm also curious about the importance of the amulet. As Damon tried to snatch the amulet away from Bonnie, his hand got burned. What was up with that? Was it the amulet that burned his hand, or has Bonnie tapped into some newfound ability? Anyway, I'm excited to see what else they have in-store for her character.
Just when you thought Elena and Stefan were that close to getting back together, looks like they’ll be experiencing some more trouble next week when Stefan’s old friend Lexi comes to visit. Catch The Vampire Diaries on Thursdays @ 8 PM on the CW 44cable12!
