Last dark ’s episode of The Vampire Diaries revolved around not just one , but two ironical role - reversals , and made it look promiscuous . This is like watching storytelling gymnastic exercise . And now we see why it might be a good thing that everybody on the show ’s a goliath at this point . Spoilers out front …
We ’ve been sort of uneasy about the fact that there are no humans left on Vampire Diaries , except for the quarterback and the preacher ’s daughter . But honestly , last night ’s episode prove just what TVD can do with an entirely monsterrific cast . The sort of irony that the show wrings out of the interactions between all the different monstrosity is kind of fantastic .
So , the two reversals that hap in last dark ’s episode are :
1 ) Damon gets play by Elena , the same way he played Lexi .
Actually , he sees through Elena ’s gambit in fourth dimension , but it does n’t save him from Rebekah ’s cervix - snap . And the large point is , Damon arrive bamboozled , has his railroad car and hot hint steal , and is generally pwned by the two ladies , right on after he gets done telling a whole long story about the time he conned hapless sometime Lexi . In a serial of flashback to 1970s NYC , we discover that Damon was preying on punk until Lexi examine to “ fixate ” him — at which stop Damon make believe to be in love with her , so he could strand her on a rooftop in the sunlight . In the present mean solar day , Damon ’s searching for the cure for vampirism so he can “ fix ” Elena , but strands him on the same rooftop . The large stage , though , is that Elena is play like Damon , and he ’s not enjoying being on the receiving end .
2 ) Caroline looks down her nozzle at the evil Klaus , only to sink below his level .
Klaus probably has n’t done anything quite as spoilt as what Caroline does in this episode — not only does she bolt down twelve nice witch , she also inadvertently nail the last rite that the malign Silas needs to destroy the Other Side , where supernatural creatures go when they die . Which would mean that every supernatural brute who ’s ever died would come back , as some kind of unkillable nightmare . Inferno on Earth , as one person lay it . Thanks , Caroline ! The caustic remark of Caroline being whole horrible aright after she ’s spent a whole installment scold Klaus about the notion that only frightful people do horrible thing is more or less ruined by Klaus point it out . Honestly , this storyline was arrant until Klaus turn and explained it to the audience , and then it feel a bit too on - the - nozzle .
This is the kind of affair you may do when everybody is a lusus naturae , but also when everybody is virtuously grizzly — even Caroline , who seems to suppose she ’s almost stainless . And Elena , who was already kind of Machiavellian before , is now becoming more and more about the backstabbing , even when it does n’t inevitably advance her aims . It ’s just a sport . It ’s sort of hilarious to watch Damon seek to lecture Elena about not doing something she ca n’t ever take back , considering how many of those he ’s done over the years .
So yeah , if you love show about virtuously gray character who are navigating an ethical fog , then you really ought to be on circuit card with this show .
In any sheath , this episode cover a lot of priming coat , in a way of life that feels pretty fun . Evil Elena is a lot more interesting this workweek than she was last week . Silas shows his manipulative scrunginess to full effect , twist Bonnie around his finger and playing her father . Those of us who are still mad at Damon forkilling Lexiget a new retcon to explain why he was n’t just being a random hawkshaw . ( It does n’t help oneself . ) Elena and Rebekah form one of the show ’s famous “ five second alliances , ” establish on the fact that neither of them desire Elena to be cured . And we get Damon in a leather jacket eat hoodlum . So , a win - profits .
And the upshot ? Silas now has everything he needs — except he need to cure his own immortality , so he can die once there ’s no longer a special lusus naturae hereafter . And he makes a pretty convincing argument to poor Klaus as to why he should help him .
