Stefan and Damon work with the gang to take down the Originals and find out a horrific truth, Klaus uses a witch to undo his mother's magic, and Rebekah has fun at Damon's expense.
Well, the gang managed to kill Finn using a stake that was made from the Wickery Bridge sign. What they didn't know is that when an Original is killed, their entire bloodline dies with them. That means that if Klaus is killed, Tyler will die. And since no one knows who turned Rose (who turned Katherine and then the rest of the vampires in the gang) they have the potential to kill all of them if the wrong Original dies. Talk about a Pyrrhic victory! If all of the Originals had been killed, then all vampires would have died. You have to wonder if Esther knew that when she bound her children together. If so, she is even more cold blooded then I thought she was since she would have been committing one of the largest acts of mass murder ever. Fortunately for the gang (well, unfortunately too), Klaus had kidnapped Bonnie and, by threatening Jeremy's life, got her to undo the spell just in time. Good thing or not?
When they say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, I wonder if they had Rebekah in mind. After what Damon and Sage did to her last week, she decided to take her anger out on Damon since Sage was needed to try and keep Finn in line. And man, did she get revenge. She kidnapped him, hung him from the ceiling using bear traps to hold his hands up, and bled the vervain out of his system so that he could be compelled. Not a nice girl. The interesting thing is that when Stefan gave up the stakes (well, 8 of the 11 anyway) for Damon, she was impressed and got a glimpse of how little she means to Klaus. Not sure if much will come of that rift or not.
I have to say that the gang's plan was a good one, at least as far as it went. Separate the Originals and stake one of them, thereby eliminating all of the rest. Then the two small hitches occurred. Number one, the whole bloodline dying and number two, the fact that Bonnie removed the binding spell. And getting everyone in on the action was the only way it was going to work. Too bad it was doomed.
I have to say that I admire Caroline. She has every reason in the world to want Alaric dead, but she held off. Not out of love for Elena (although that may have had something to do with it), but because she realized that she had done things as bad as Alaric had. At least he was under the influence of forces outside of his control. Caroline was being influenced by being a new vampire, but she still made a choice. The fact that she was able to let go of the fact that he killed her dad was quite impressive.
Bonnie finally broke down tonight. After everything that has happened to her, she finally was able to break down and start to heal. I don't think she'll ever be able to forgive Damon for turning her mom or like the brothers because of what happened to her grandmother, but hopefully she'll be able to come back and be a part of the gang again.
And Elena was left with the Sword of Damocles hanging over her romantic life. She loves Stefan; and he knows it; but she is also in love with Damon; which Stefan also knows. Fortunately, he is willing to acknowledge his part in what happened and seems to be willing to let Elena go if necessary. She has a choice to make. The question is, can she make it without having a repeat of what happened with Katherine in terms of the brothers hating each other for the choice she makes? Not a comfortable position.
We'll be back April 17th. Until then!
