So, we got it, back when Elena (Nina Dobrev)'s birth mother's name was revealed. Isobel was her mom's name, and Alaric (Matt Davis)'s wife also had that name. The only explanation I have as to why the coincidence was considered to be a real possibility was because the town both those Isobel's were from was so small as to make the likelihood of them being the same person a real possibility. But I just did not feel it, and I wish more of an explanation had been made by the characters.
It just seemed absurd to me that Jenna (Sara Canning) was telling Elena and Alaric about her suspicions, without having any proof or anything concrete on which to build suspicion expect that both Isobels were mentioned on the same day in a previous episode.
But, if we ignore that, I do think that it is totally cool that she was the same person.
I also loved how crazy/depressed Damon (Ian Somerhalder) was. The anger and obsession he has in regards to Katherine is so intense, and considering that all the thought about for 145 years was getting into her tomb, it's hard to blame her. I just want to know when exactly it was that Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon got turned.
The scene where he was teasing Alaric about drinking with his wife, and the pain Elena felt in that moment, and the subsequent sadness that Damon felt when he realized that he had hurt Elena with his comments! I love the depth and variety of Damon's personality.
The thing that I am most pleased about was that Alaric lived. Watching him die on the carpet, with Damon sitting by, nonchalantly ignoring him, was painful and beautiful, but I am not ready for his character to go. I really want him to stick around!
But now, there is so much more turmoil that will come out in the second half of this season, as Elena searches for her vampire mother, Damon searches for Katherine, and the vampires who have recently escaped from the old church search for blood.
