In 1994 Purgatory, Bonnie sits down to breakfast by herself for the umpteenth day in a row.Four out of four dismembered teddy bears,īillie Doux loves good television and spends way too much time writing about it.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. I thought of it after we watched The Bodyguard for the billionth time." Insensitive."Įlena: "I didn't know you and Bonnie had a death pact."ĭamon: "It was my idea. Kai: "Hey! Why don't I reanimate your dead parents for a tea party while I'm at it? … Sorry. 'cause there was this museum that has an actual guillotine…" Kai: "By the way, how much does that suck about Patrick Swayze?" Kai: "Think of it like Elena in reverse." Jeremy: "We should trust the guy who changed personalities overnight?" I really should be at the dive bar picking a fight with a stranger in order to feel pain." Stefan: "So do you really think that finding a teddy bear will make everything right with the world?"Ĭaroline: "You know what? You're right. Calluses."Ĭaroline: "You bury corpses all the time." There's only one of those things I can do anything about." But my mom's dying and my best friend is stuck in an alternate universe, and her bear is in a hole in the woods. Stefan: "Do you think that maybe you're just a little confused about what you're actually upset about?"Ĭaroline: "Yes, probably. I assume that's the reason for his sudden deep desire to go to art school someplace that isn't Mystic Falls. McQueen is leaving The Vampire Diaries at the end of the season.
There was a news item recently that Steven R. I assume we'll all be taking a road trip to Nova Scotia in the next episode? Qetsiyah's blood is apparently powerful enough to break Bonnie out of 1994 Hell. Much like Damon with Enzo, except that Enzo is a jerk. All it took was being imprisoned together.
I so enjoy the way Damon loves Bonnie now. Tell me again why they didn't write him out several seasons ago? I sort of respect Liv's suicidal death charge at Kai, but the consequences were just too dire for her to do such a thing, and it was such an obvious plot device intended to prove Kai had truly changed.īut this was still a terrific episode, even if it contained Tyler. I care even less about Liv the witch and post-hybrid Tyler, who couldn't see that Liv just was lashing out after losing the most important person in her life, so he dropped her like a rock. I almost liked Enzo when he was introduced, but I'm ready for Matt to outwit and stake him now. In the subplots I care little about, Enzo is forcing Matt to help him corrupt Sarah Salvatore and I've pretty much forgotten why. I thought we were finally going to get smoochies after she pulled the head off the bear, but they're probably saving that for the season finale. (That's what you get for getting involved with a co-worker, huh?)īut Stefan and Caroline teasing each other about killing rage, catharsis and M&Ms was completely adorable. I don't ship Damon and Elena any more, probably because I am consciously aware of how difficult it must be for Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev to do love scenes now that they hate each other. Did they always have this level of chemistry? I'm starting to wonder what I ever saw in Damon and Elena, who are together again, even if the actors playing them are not. On a cuteness scale of one to ten, Stefan and Caroline in the woods digging for Miss Cuddles was an eleven. Although if they did that, the gang would spend the entire next season trying to retrieve him, too. I even thought for a moment that Jeremy was going to take Bonnie's place and get stuck in 1994 for eternity. I liked that they put that very Ghost-like moment with Jeremy in the cloud of carbon monoxide. Bonnie's bourbon-bolstered suicide attempt wasn't at all self-pitying, but came across as an understandable reaction to years of crushing loneliness and despair. While I'm talking good performances, I thought Kat Graham did a nice job in this episode, too. And his lines about Googling empathy and tears as alien secretions made me laugh out loud and, well, like him. Like darn, I can't quite bring myself to burn my sister to death, what's with that? He made multiple attempts to open the connection to 1994 Hell even after being stabbed several times, which was a lot more effort to help Bonnie than I would ever have expected. Kai kept observing out loud how he would have reacted before, and was all bemused but oddly accepting that he didn't feel that way any more. I thought Chris Wood (Kai) did an outstanding job in this episode.
If anyone had told me that Kai would end up being my favorite part of a Vampire Diaries episode, I would have laughed heartily in disbelief.
