Last week’s loose
threads:
- What’s with the
teacher? Obviously part of the council, but why?
- Why did Megan
know Elena’s father?
Warning: spoilers
for this episode and pervious episode.
If you follow me
on Twitter then you would have seen me live tweeting as I watched. You would
have also seen the tweet that had me saying that I thought this was by far the
best episode of the season and probably my favourite of all time.
Why?
One word people: Qetsiyah. Or Tessa.
Whichever one is easiest to pronounce.
Yes, Silas’s
raging ex-girlfriend (who gave him the cure for immortality) is back. Turns
out, when Bonnie opened the veil between the living and the dead, Qetsiyah decided that she wanted in.
And that her sole
mission is to kill Silas.
I loved this episode.
I have a feeling there isn’t a time period that The Vampire Diaries isn’t
willing to go into and ancient Greece is a personal favourite.
Stefan is saved
by Qetsiyah, only to be used as a pawn in helping damaging Silas’s mind
control. We get a lot of background in this episode and it would be on the
verge of boring if Qetsiyah wasn’t such a funny, raging character. Oh, and the flashbacks.
We all know the
basics. Silas fell in love with a girl, tricked Qetsiyah into
creating immortality so they could be together then left her at the alter for
his other girlfriend. Here’s a little bit of a twist for you: Silas and Qetsiyah are travellers/gypsies like what we met last week with Nadia.
One of the
biggest twists in this episode (yes, there’s more than one) is the fact that
the girl that Silas fell in love with? It’s Elena. Katherine. Tatia. The
original doppelganger: Amora.
In the meantime,
Katherine and Elena reveal that they’ve been sharing dreams about Stefan
burning outside of a bar in the sunlight. The two of them and Damon share an
amusing car ride with Katherine being… Well, Katherine. Saying everything to
get under Elena’s skin.
Katherine is
captured by Nadia and brought to Silas who then compels Nadia to kill herself.
Simultaneously, Qetsiyah
hacks into Silas’s mind using Stefan and weakens his ability to compel people.
Nadia takes Katherine and holds her hostage. Over the phone to Silas, he
reveals to Katherine that her blood is the cure to immortality. Remind anyone
of anything? Yep. Elena’s blood was what was needed to create hybrids, and now
Katherine’s blood is needed to create immortality.
I’m beginning to wonder if maybe this show is running out
of ideas, or if they are purposely recycling these ideas to create a sort of
doppelganger cycle or something.
The last twist of the night? Well, Stefan wakes up after
being brain hacked by Qetsiyah and he has no memory. Amnesia, folks. In a
vampire.
Side plot: Nadia places the other traveler (Gregor) she
killed in Matt’s body to confront him (hello, accents). Later, Matt wakes up in
the Lockwood mansion with muddy foot prints and blood everywhere.
Favourite quotes:
“It was like watching a soap opera except without volume
control”—Qetsiyah/Tessa
Loose leads:
- What will Elena and Damon
tell Stefan about his amnesia?
- Again, what the hell is
Nadia up to?
- What’s with the teacher? Obviously part of the council, but why?
- How did Megan know Elena’s father?

Hey, you there, yes you ;)
Thanks for commenting! This is seriously awesome and I promise to try my hardest to get back to you, so do check back if you had a question or something to discuss!
Sadly, this is an award free blog. I really, really appreciate the thought and offer but with grade twelve and other activities as well as blogging, I don't really have all the spare time in the world. But thank you so much for the thought!
Seriously, though. Check back because I love to reply to comments ;)
Ellen.
