First, Isobel (guest star Mia Kirshner) showed up to break Alaric (Matt Davis)'s heart just a little bit more and prove herself a real bitch to her daughter. Focused on getting the device back from Damon (Ian Somerhalder), Isobel threatened everyone Elena (Nina Dobrev) loves. After breaking Matt (Zach Roerig)'s arm, she kidnapped Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen). And she did get what she wanted.
What's worse is that the thing was not disabled, as Bonnie (Katerina Graham) promised. The little witch betrayed Elena by saying she had removed the device's ability to hurt vampires when she hadn't, rather than simply refusing to do the task. Somehow I feel this was the worst thing to happen in the episode.
But Isobel did do some good deeds while she was around. Although Alaric will not remember it, she glamoured him into getting over her, so he should be able to move on with his life. She also forced Matt to rely on Tyler (Michael Trevino)'s help when he was hurt, which may allow the boys to reconcile.
Otherwise, Jeremy finally confronted Elena about the whole vampire thing, furious with her for invading his privacy by making him forget Vicki, as well as not trusting him with her secrets. He also told her that his feelings for Anna (Malese Jow) ran deep, knowing that she was a vampire and knowing that she had once been planning on killing him.
I'm interested in seeing how this and his new bond with Uncle John (David Anders), who hates vamps, will play out in the season finale.
Uncle John, by the way, is Elena's real dad, making her just as much of a Gilbert as Jeremy, even if he is not her blood brother.
Oh, and Damon is in love with Elena (duh.)
With all that excitement, what is waiting for us in the finale? Who will die now that John has the vamp killing device, and what sort of terror does it promise us for next season.
I just hope that the cliff hanger isn't so cliff hangery that I can't stand the summer for preventing me from discovering what happens next!
