Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) must have had a blast. They mimicked each other, Stefan all attitude and plotting, Damon feigning wimpyness, yet neither managed perfectly. Exactly what you would expect from two brothers.
The girls, Elena (Nina Dobrev), Bonnie (Katerina Graham), and Caroline (Candice Accola), also got some bonding time. Bonnie finally told Caroline about being a witch, and the reason she was keeping the necklace. It ended up being very high school...but these girls are in high school, so I guess that's actually alright. Most girls, I've had the impression, end up with friendships like this. Wow, reality in a show about vampires - how strange.
These bonding moments were awesome, but the strength of the episode rested in Damon's big reveal - he had known everything that went on with Katherine. Unlike Stefan, he had known. And he had planned to bring Katherine back ever since because his love for her had been real and he could never get over it. For all that Damon is evil, he suffers so much, making him such an interesting, multidimensional villain.
I also have to give the show points for surprises. Jenna (Sara Canning) was obviously going to hit it off with Alaric (Matt Davis), Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) and Elena's new history teacher. And it is strongly hinted at that he is possibly a vampire, what with his father's bizarre ring and his refusal to enter Jenna's house uninvited. So that story line, while a little obvious, is intriguing, and a good way for Jenna to get over Logan (Chris J Johnson). I was not, however, expecting Logan to show up at her door later that night, also being asked to be invited it.
How is he still alive? Is he a vampire? What is going on!!!
Are you as into this show as I am?
