The thing I liked best was how they explained away the lack of confusion. Caroline never consciously knew that vampires existed, but as soon as her transformation began, she understood a lot more than Vicki had. Thank you, Damon (Ian Somerhalder). All the mind control he had used on her previously really saved her when it came to waking up a vamp in a hospital room.
I also loved the battle between her desire to eat and her desire to be a good person. Caroline may be neurotic and all, but she is a sweetheart, and she certainly doesn't want to hurt people. Watching her with Matt (Zach Roerig) in that final scene, where she gained control over her hunger, now that was just beautiful.
Meanwhile, poor Bonnie (Katerina Graham). Boy is that girl full of hate, and all of it is directed at Damon. I was glad Elena (Dobrev) stopped her from setting him on fire, even though Elena still hasn't forgiven Damon for trying to kill Jeremy. If anything, Bonnie may well still regret such a malicious act when she is not so marred by grief.
Finally, I actually really enjoyed the end of the episode. Not a true cliffhanger for once. Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena got to share a lovely moment as a couple, but the ominous future where those sweet moments can no longer exist is coming on quickly.
Vampire Diaries is definitely making up for my current disappointment in True Blood.
