The Night of the Comet
Marines: The opening notes of “Help, I’m Alive” by Metric remind me that while I never finished watching this show, in 2009 I was finding a heck ton of my music through CW playlists. I can see into my future and it’s me taking a break from many a recap to go play a song. I promise to only mention the songs I immediately recognize and can identify in the episodes. Particularly because I love how on the nose their song choices are.
Emmy: I can willingly admit that I was so excited about many songs in this episode. A+ playlists, the CW has.
Mari: “Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?” Metric asks as another Hapless Couple makes out in a tent, in a spooky woods. The girl thinks she can hear thunder, and if it rains they won’t be able to see the comet. The guy assures her it isn’t going to rain. He got a little something for his girl, but it’s in the car. He tells her not to move.
Soon after the guy leaves, the girl hears liquid dripping on her tent. She knew it was gonna rain! She gets out of the tent to verify/rub it in her boyfriend’s face, but finds it isn’t raining. She uses her flashlight to look around until finally she sees that it’s blood dripping onto her tent from the tree above. She looks up and there is her boyfriend, properly mauled.
Emmy: Okay so do vampires in this show have hydraulic-powered fangs?? How has it literally been three seconds and he’s dead, drained, and up in a tree? That has to be the fastest vampy draining ever. Even with the pressure in certain arteries, this seems unlikely.
Mari: A waste of food, too, but probably not a concern if you are doing it for the drama.
Hapless Girl runs toward their car, but when she reaches it, it’s locked. In her panic, she bangs on the door and begs it to open. (It’s weird, but honestly, that would be me, begging Jesus to be an unlocked car door.) Suddenly, Hapless hears the car alarm chirp and the doors unlock. She turns around, spooked, and we wait in the quiet for a few seconds before she’s attacked from above.
I just love how ham the show is going to show us Damon Salvatore is awful.
Emmy: And they’re still not showing us his face, like we’re still supposed to wonder ooooh it is Stefan or Damon killing those people?? It’s Damon. Stefan is off eating bunny rabbits or something like a good high school vampire.
Mari: After the title card, we start with a close up on Elena’s face and then on Stefan’s. Elena’s Voice Over [EVO], narrating her entry into her diary, says that this morning is different. Stefan’s Voice Over [SFO] takes over and says that for the first time in a long time, he’s awake. EVO says for once she doesn’t regret the day before it begins. SFO welcomes the days. And together they say that for once, they know they will see each other again. It’s a little early to tell, but this feels like the start of a beautifully codependent relationship.
Elena is now downstairs, grabbing her stuff for school as “Closer to Love” by Mat Kearney plays. Jenna asks Elena if she looks responsible and parental because she’s got a parent-teacher conference today for Jeremy. They banter about whether Jenna should wear her hair up (sexy stewardess) or down (boozy housewife). Jenna notices Elena’s good mood. Elena asks where Jeremy is, anyway, and Jenna says he went to school early to finish a birdhouse in woodshop. And as soon as she says it, Jenna realizes that was a lie.
Jeremy is actually visiting Vicki in the hospital. Well, visiting is a strong word. He’s lurking in the doorway, watching her as she sleeps. A nurse shows up and tells him it isn’t visiting hours. Jeremy asks how Vicki’s doing. Nurse No Nonsense says she lost a lot of blood and needs rest, so Jeremy should come back later. She walks him out.
The only class at Mystic Falls, and today’s Plot Appropriate Lesson: Mr. Tanner is lecturing about the comet while Elena and Stefan make me uncomfortable with how long they look at and smile at each other.
After class, Elena and Stefan walk the halls together. He’s brought her a first edition of Wuthering Heights and why Lord, why. I mean, I know it’s a classic, well-known, but it’s always THIS CLASSIC in broody YA. It wasn’t too long ago that we finished recapping After, and I just cannot with these writers and writers rooms going OUR LOVE STORY IS LIKE WUTHERING HEIGHTS. PUT THAT IN THERE.
Stefan tries to give Elena this valuable copy, but she says she couldn’t. She does borrow it to read, though, and promises to give it back.
Emmy: I couldn’t even with this scene. First off, Wuthering Heights is a story about two horrible people and no one has peace until both are dead. It is not the kind of love story anyone should aspire to. Cathy and Heathcliff are possessive, codependent, petty, violent people and why YA authors continue to pair that “romance” with their romantic leads I’ll never understand.
And second: THAT BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1847. If this is a first edition, as is implied, DO NOT TOUCH THAT BOOK YOUR SKIN CAN DESTROY IT. First editions of classics like that aren’t to read. They are to put in glass cases and look at. Jesus. At least Joe from You knew how to take care of fragile and expensive books.
Mari: I really appreciate that rant and also, I refuse to watch You.
Bonnie and Caroline are walking together. Bonnie has presumably just told Caroline about her psychic powers. I love that Bonnie is just like going around like “hey, happy Monday, I’m a witch with psychic powers.” Caroline jokes that she should feel free to conjure up the name and number of the guy they saw at The Grill last night. Bonnie asks why Caroline didn’t just talk to him. She says, “I don’t know. I was drunk.” Relatable.
Jeremy walks like a man on a mission. He finds Tyler by the track field, yucking it up with some girls. Jeremy pointedly asks Tyler how Vicki is doing since he and Vicki are so close. Tyler tells him to go away, but Jeremy won’t drop it, even when Tyler threatens to beat him up. Jeremy gets in Tyler’s face and says that if he hurts Vicki one more time, Jeremy will kill him. Tyler kind of awkwardly laughs it off and asks the girls he’s with if they heard that death threat.
Elena is walking with Air Supply Matt. He’s telling her that Vicki should be able to come home tomorrow. Matt called their mom and left her a message, but she’s in Virginia Beach with her new boyfriend, so Matt isn’t sure when she’ll come home. (E: Another example of A+ parenting in YA. No wonder Disney kills all the parents; they’re usually useless anyways.) Nearby, Stefan is sitting on a picnic table, super-listening in on this conversation. He hears when Elena asks if Vicki knows what attacked her. Matt shares that Vicki said it was a vampire. Stefan’s eyes widen comically. Matt thinks Vicki was drunk. He notices that Stefan is nearby and asks what’s up with Elena and the new guy. She looks at Stefan sitting stiffly and not at all casually on his picnic table.
Jenna’s parent/teacher meeting is with the only teacher at Mystic Falls High, Mr. Tanner. Turns out that Jeremy has skipped six of his classes and it’s only the third day of school. Jenna asks if Mr. Tanner is aware that Jeremy and Elena lost their parents. Mr. Tanner is like “four months ago,” and lists off all the other facts about the crash. Then he calls Jenna “the mother’s kid sister.” I hate this man so much. I can also feel Emmy’s teacher rage already. Jenna is clearly uncomfortable, especially when Mr. Tanner brings up Jeremy’s drug use. He rudely and condescendingly asks if there are any other relatives that could be caring for the kids. He says that raising two teens is an impossible job. When Jenna says that it’s tough, but not impossible, he tells her she’s WRONG and her saying so proves she’s not doing this right. I know I’ve already been tough on Damon, but if we can get him to maul a history teacher, that would be great, thanks.
Emmy: I hate Mr. Tanner too much to rant here because it would take up the entire recap. However. In the books, Mr. Tanner’s end is a glorious one and I cannot wait to see if it plays out the same.
Also? (okay a tiny teacher rant here) Once, I had the audacity to ask one of the parents of my students why their child wasn’t getting their work done and asked if they had tech issues at home (so I could get them alternative assignments). The parent was so mad at my “implication that [they] were poor” that she called my principal and I got called in for a Talk. Jenna needs to go talk to the admin ASAP and get Tanner fired.
Mari: Stefan sneaks through the hospital, ducking into a doorway when he sees Matt. Matt walks into Vicki’s room, but she’s not on the bed. Suddenly, she’s behind him, zoned out. Matt reaches out to her and she starts freaking out, yelling and thrashing against him as he tries to calm her down. Matt runs out of the room for help. Stefan super runs into the room, pins Vicki to the bed, and uses his hypnotizing/mind control power to convince her it was an animal that attacked her, she blacked out, and that’s all she remembers. By the time Matt and No Nonsense Nurse make it back to the room, Vicki is sleeping calmly. Matt looks around, suspiciously, and sees Stefan rounding the corner. Matt takes after him, so Stefan ducks into a room, except it looks like they are doing blood donations here. Stefan starts to vamp out as he looks at those plastic snack bags, practically Capri Sun pouches tbh, but gets it together enough to get moving. By the time Matt walks into the room, Stefan is gone and nowhere to be seen.
Heavy Cross by Gossip takes us to Bonnie, Elena and Caroline having… glasses of water… at a restaurant. Bonnie is telling them about how her Grams said the comet is a sign of impending doom. Caroline snarkily dismisses her and asks Elena what happened with Stefan.
At home, Jenna has bought food for Jeremy. He tries to pass, but she tells him the food is a ruse and orders him to sit and talk. She starts with a story about how nachos were her munchie food when she used to get stoned. Jeremy smiles at this, but less so when she keeps going about how getting stoned only works for a little while at distracting you from your problems. When her back is turned, he gets up and walks away, leaving her talking to herself about maybe she might still want to get stoned, but with a thesis looming and waistline expanding…
Vicki is up. Matt is sleeping in a chair next to her, so she wakes him by chucking what looks like a rock-hard bread roll at him. (E: lol) He startles awake, but then is happy to see that Vicki is looking much better. In fact, she says she feels fine and doesn’t at all remember freaking out and yelling at him. Matt very seriously asks what attacked her in the woods. An intense look passes over Vicki’s face, but she says it was an animal. What else would it have been?
Jeremy walks in and asks how Vicki is doing. She is kind of short when she says she’s fine, so Matt looks between them and excuses himself to go be not here. Vicki tells Jeremy he can’t be here because no one can know about them. She’s older than him and that’s Not Cool. Plus, Tyler is finally showing interest. Jeremy tells her to get over the age difference and the Tyler thing, especially since Tyler isn’t here. Plus, it isn’t weird that Jeremy would come to visit her, since he was the one who found her and carried her out of the woods. Vicki looks genuinely touched by this and thanks him. They smile at each other.
Elena goes to the Salvatore Boarding House. When she uses the door knocker, she finds that the front door is open, so she walks in and starts calling for Stefan.
Emmy: Why do people do this? If I knock on a door and it swings open, I assume that it wasn’t properly closed by the last person going through and I pull it closed and knock again. I have never gone into the house like “well I guess that was an invitation!”
Mari: “It was open so I let myself in” is not okay but TV loves it.
Elena is impressed with the old house. She hears some creaking and makes her way closer to a window. Spooky Crow© comes flying right at her, and when she reacts and turns around, Damon is standing right there, like ALL up in her face. We cut to black for drama.
After the Not Commercial Break (gotta love watching 11 years later), Elena apologizes for barging in, saying the door was open. When she looks back, the door is closed. I love that Damon took the time to close it for maximum making her feel weird. Damon is a creep with attention to detail. Damon introduces himself as Stefan’s brother and invites Elena to sit and wait, as Stefan should be along soon.
As Elena takes in the general splendor, Damon says he can see why Stefan is so smitten. He casually, not-so-casually says that he never thought Stefan would get over his ex, Katherine. Then Damon is like “oh no, did he not mention his ex-girlfriend in the 3 days you’ve known each other? Whoops.” Damon says that Elena must know how those relationships end. Elena thinks he says it like he thinks all relationships have to end. She doesn’t yet know that he’s over 150 years old and has seen a lot of things end.
Without breaking eye contact with Elena, Damon says hello to Stefan, and sure enough, he’s standing the doorway, glaring and brooding and probably plotting fratricide. (E: LOL. Nah, Stefan’s too whitebread, he’s just going to angst at him until they both die.) Damon makes jokes about breaking out the family photo albums, so Stefan hollowly thanks Elena for coming. She takes that as her cue to leave, but not before saying it was nice to meet Damon. He kisses her hand.
Elena leaves and Stefan won’t even break his glaring at Damon to say goodbye to Elena. She’s shook.
Alone now, Damon tells Stefan that Elena has spunk. Stefan, on the other hand, looks pooped. Damon guesses that Stefan was at the hospital and he over-exerted himself while using his powers. He reminds Stefan (us) that if he doesn’t feed properly (on human blood) his powers don’t work right. Stefan asks how long Elena was here, and Damon asks if he’s scared they are doomed to repeat the past. Isn’t that why Stefan is playing his little “I’m a high school human” game? Stefan says he isn’t playing a game, but Damon says of course he is. Stefan asks what game Damon is playing and he smiles and says Stefan will have to wait and find out. They get very close to each other’s faces during this scene and it made me wonder if the TVD fandom has its version of Wincest and then I regretted that thought immediately. My brain betrayed me.
Emmy: I can almost guarantee you that they do (Rule 34/64 are, unfortunately, very real and frightening things) but I refuse to go searching for any of it. I love this blog, but I [mostly] love my sanity more.
Mari: I would not expect of you what I would not do myself.
Back at the Gilbert House (I know Jenna isn’t a Gilbert, but two Gilberts live here, okay?), Elena is telling Jenna about Stefan’s rebound and raging family issues. Jenna says at least it’s an ex-girlfriend! Just wait until she dates a guy with mommy issues or cheating issues or amphetamine issues. Something tells me that before these eight seasons is through, Stefan will have 2/3 of those, and we could probably sub out amphetamines for blood addiction.
Jeremy gets back home, and Jenna takes after him to ask where he was. He asks for no more stoner stories and starts walking away, so she chucks the apple she’s holding at him to get his attention.
Hospital. Vicki is moaning as she has bad dreams. She wakes up and sees that Matt is sleeping in the chair again. She goes to the bathroom and freaks out because she thinks she sees Damon in the reflection behind her. She leaves the bathroom and goes to wake up Matt. But suddenly Matt is a vamped out Damon. Vicki wakes up for real this time. She’s in her room, alone.
Mystic Falls… somewhere and I Get Around by Dragonette. Bonnie and Elena are handing out fliers for a comet party? I honestly couldn’t begin to tell you why this is happening. (E: Extra credit for History, aka The Only Class They Take?) (M: Sure!) Elena says that Stefan didn’t call or text her, but mostly because they didn’t exchange numbers. Lol, yeah, girl that’s a good reason why someone would not call or text you. Elena thinks that she isn’t ready to date and at least she put herself out there. Bonnie is like “is that what you are calling this?” She says all she’s hearing from Elena are reasons why she can’t. “Here I come when I better go. I say yes when I ought to say no,” Dragonette sings at us, meaningfully.
The camera pans to Caroline who has just spotted Damon. She walks over to him confidently, but she blinks and he literally disappears. The vampires are bad at discretion. Stop super running places, ya dummies.
Emmy: The “obvious vampire” shots are becoming just when the vampires super-run away from people and that’s making me sad.
Mari: Uncle Zach asks Uncle Stefan why Damon is here now. Uncle Stefan says that Damon is here to have fun making his life miserable. Uncle Zach asks what happens if Vicki talks, but Uncle Stefan says he took care of it… maybe. Uncle Zach wonders if this girl Uncle Stefan came back for is worth it. Uncle Stefan just gives Uncle Zach a look.
The Mystic Grill, which might turn out to be Mystic Fall’s One Restaurant and Grill. Jeremy is leaving just as Vicki walks in. She says she’s here to fight with her manager about some extra days off. Jeremy asks how she’s feeling. She says she’s hurting, but the doctors didn’t give her strong enough medicine. Jeremy helpfully provides some pills and invites her to come and see the comet. She says she’ll meet him out there. Tyler walks up and asks how Vicki is and she levels him with “like you care?” Jeremy smirks happily.
Comet Party. They are doing this candle lighting thing. I’m not sure why you would want a bunch of extra lights on when you are watching a comet, but okay. Now that I’m thinking about, I’m not sure why Hapless Couple was out in the woods “watching the comet” like 2 days ago?
Emmy: That just occurred to me too. Why were they out there? Was there like a “six hours earlier” screen that the writers forgot to add and they just hoped we wouldn’t notice? We noticed.
Also, the candle-lighting thing felt very vigil-y to me. Like you know, when someone dies or whatever? But I think they did the candles just so they could have this next scene here:
Mari: Matt uses his candle to light Elena’s, and they share a moment. Elena turns from him to light someone else’s candle. It’s Stefan. Elena turns back to look at Matt and catch his very hurt look. He’s humming Air Supply so hard right now. (E: lol always, Matt, always.) Elena and Stefan walk a little way away together and look at the comet. Elena shares what Bonnie thinks about it being a harbinger of evil, but Stefan has feelings about it being a ball of snow and ice, trapped on a path it can’t escape, only able to come home every 145 years. #deep.
Stefan apologizes for what happened at his house, saying he wasn’t himself. Elena says he seems to spend a lot of time apologizing, which is a good red flag to note. Proud of u. Stefan says his relationship with his brother is complicated. Elena mentions Katherine, and Stefan says it was a long time ago, which is a funny thing for a supposed 16 year old to say. Before Stefan can say more, Elena cuts him off and says she gets it. She too has a complicated brother and complicated ex. It’s all too complicated to date. They talked all night and it was epic, but then the sun came up. For some reason, Stefan doesn’t say anything to her. He just stares, hard, and then watches her walk away.
One Grill. Damon is at the bar. Vicki recognizes him, sort of. She isn’t sure how, but his face looks familiar. She excuses herself to the bathroom and takes some more pills. She bends to get a drink of water and when she stands, Damon is behind her, vamped out. He attacks.
Emmy: When she said “I feel like I know you” Damon looked up and was like “That’s unfortunate” which made me actually laugh a LOT. Like yeah, actually, it is unfortunate for Vicki that she knows you. Now she’s got a hole in her throat and some strong PTSD.
Mari: Back outside, Tyler, Matt, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena are sitting together. Jeremy walks up and asks where Vicki is. Tyler outs him as Vicki’s pill pusher, saying that Vicki will never go for him. A worked up Jeremy says that she already went for him, over and over again. This is gross, Jeremy. Please stop.
Elena is hung up on the pill pusher thing. Caroline is hung up on the fact that Jeremy slept with Vicki Donovan. Tyler says there is no way, and Jeremy says it’s true and he didn’t even have to force her. Matt asks what’s up with that, but Tyler says to ignore it. Matt has had enough of this and tells everyone to shut up and help him find Vicki. Bonnie takes off for the bathroom. Matt is headed towards the square. Jeremy wants to go with him, but Elena grabs him. She says clearly the tough love speeches aren’t working. Jeremy starts to agree that between her and Jenna… but Elena cuts him off. They could stop. Send him to a therapist or rehab instead so he’ll have to talk to strangers. She makes it seem like such a terrible thing, but honey, your brother probably needs you to be there for him AND therapy. Jeremy says he wants none of the above.
Emmy: In YA-world, therapy is the last place you go before your family just leaves you out in the woods to die because you’re too much of a problem. Medication is for addicts and therapy is for crazies.
I hate this anti-therapy crap.
Mari: Matt finds Stefan in the square, and asks if he’s seen Vicki. She’s missing. Stefan says he hasn’t but offers to keep an eye out for her. Matt says he saw Stefan in the hospital yesterday. Stefan again doesn’t deny anything or do anything unsuspicious. He just glares and says he was visiting. Matt picks up the weird vibes, so he chooses this moment to tell Stefan that he may not be with Elena right now, but he looks out for her. Stefan nods, but then hears something. He very obviously does the head turn thing that means you are listening to something. He hears Vicki and Damon. Stefan excuses himself and follows the sound.
Damon has Vicki up on the roof. Stefan super jumps up there. Damon pretends like he might drop Vicki, but then pushes her close to Stefan and says he doesn’t need Vicki dead. But Stefan might. Damon crouches down close to Vicki and asks what attacked her the other night. She says an animal. Damon tells her to really think about it. What attacked her? She thinks and answers again: a vampire. Damon did this.
Emmy: Is this a bit… weird to anyone else? I feel like if I saw a dude come at me and bite my neck and everything, I dunno if I’d jump straight to “vampire” unless I had some kind of prior proof that the world isn’t normal, and I’m a vampire nerd. I think that Vicki would assume she was on drugs/drunk and it was just some crazy dude who thought he was a vampire. I don’t know if I’m way off base here, but I feel like the immediate jump to VAMPIRE is contrivance and simply exists to get that word in the mouths and minds of the normal characters
Unless we didn’t see Damon go, “I’m a vampire! These are my teeth, see? And my spooky crow and my fog-magic. And my vampy eyes!” *chomp*
Mari: Yes, the people in this small otherwise normal town (as far as we know) really are quick to assume the undead are walking among them.
At Vicki’s new accusation, Damon says wrong! He pulls her up, looks into her eyes, and uses his persuasion powers to tell her that Stefan Salvatore attacked her because he’s a vicious vampire. Stefan is standing there, asking Damon not to do this, but it’s hilariously passionless. “No, Damon, don’t.”
Stefan couldn’t fix Vicki before. He’s super hopeless now that she’s enthralled by Damon. Damon removes Vicki’s neck bandage, exposing the bloody wound underneath, and pushes Vicki toward Stefan. Damon says that Stefan’s choice of lifestyle has made him weak. The proximity of Vicki’s blood has Stefan vamping out. Damon tells him to either feed and hypnotize Vicki or don’t feed and let her run through the town square yelling about vampire. Stefan asks if this is all about exposing him, and Damon says no! It’s about Stefan remembering who he is. Stefan says fine, let Vicki go tell everyone there are vampires in Mystic Falls again. Let him be chained up and staked because at least then, he’ll be free of Damon.
Emmy: And we thought that it was only Damon who was ridiculously dramatical. Apparently it’s a family trait.
Mari: I know, and then Damon is like “woooooooow.” and it’s, dude, you are kind of intense too, just saying.
Damon sighs and compels Vicki again. We see her calm down and then ask what happened. Stefan asks if she’s okay and she laughs that she’s on pills and scurries off. Damon says it’s good to be home, and he thinks he’ll stick around for a while. Stefan asks again what Damon is up to. “That’s for me to know and for you to dot dot dot.” Wow, that line makes me suddenly side with Stefan and see the advantages of the sweet escape of death.
Matt is helping Vicki put her bandage back on at One Grill. Stefan walks in, and Matt thanks him for finding her “wandering around.” Stefan walks up to Bonnie and Caroline and asks after Elena. Bonnie says that she went home. Stefan turns to leave, but Bonnie calls him back to give him Elena’s cell phone number and email. Bonnie tells him that Elena is big on texting, and he can tell Elena she said so. It is both very sweet as a wing-woman, but also like idk man, y’all don’t know anything about this guy except his shifty behavior. (E: OMG Mari, only non-hot people are actually dangerous.) (M: High to all the medium-hot, medium dangerous folks out there.)
Bonnie hands Stefan the piece of paper with Elena’s information, and the Foley Guys give us a thud that indicates a vision. Bonnie looks up at him and asks what happened to him. She snaps out of it, apologizes for being rude and leaves. Caroline is like, “yeah, wigging out his her thing.”
Gilbert House. Elena thinks Jeremy is home, but it’s just Jenna going through his things. Elena asks what brought this on, and Jenna admits that Ass-Hat Tanner shamed her good. Jenna says that this is impossible, especially because she’s not her older sister. Elena’s mom made everything look easy– high school, marriage, having kids. Jenna is worried she going to make mistakes, Jeremy will keep getting worse, and it will be all her fault. Elena tells Jenna that this is just the fear talking. They are all scared. This makes her ~realize~ something, and she tells Jenna she has to go do something.
One Grill. Jeremy sees Vicki and smiles. But then he sees as Tyler cozies up to and kisses her and he has feelings about it. (E: Man, Vicki, I thought for a second you were smarter than that.)
Caroline is walking alone and keeps hearing something. She speeds up to get to her car but drops her keys. She hears a crash and looks, but the real danger is behind her, because these vampires absolutely love being RIGHT BEHIND YOU when you turn around. Damon apologizes for scaring her, but Caroline says it’s fine. She was hoping she would see him again. Damon says he knows.
Elena admits that she got home and was planning on doing what she always does, writing in her diary and such, but then she would be writing things that she should just be telling Stefan. He asks what she would write and she gives us the whole Dear Diary monologue about how she is giving excuses and hiding from the truth: she’s scared that if she’s happy for even one moment, the world will coming crashing down on her. She can’t survive that.
Stefan’s turn! He says he would write basically what Elena told him earlier. He met a girl, they talked all night, it was epic, but then the sun came up and reality set it. Except, he says this is reality. He kisses her. This entire scene is so intense and angsty, my eyes hurt a little from all the rolling. It’s been three days, this is TOO MUCH.
I feel like sometimes with these shows, they forget that there’s a space between “Strangers” and “Forever Partner.” Like, you can be friends, you know. Maybe try being friends for like a week or so, see if you even like spending time together or have anything in common before starting to date? And then start the intensely emotional “you are my EVERYTHING” vomit-tastic stuff that I’ll still hate, but at least it makes a certain amount of twisted sense after some time spent together.
Mari: And I get it, it’s what we signed up for. It isn’t even that they are kissing and want to date as much for me, it’s just the INTENSITY. Alas.
In our final cut, Caroline and Damon are in bed together. He’s kissing her belly and she’s clearly enjoying herself. But then Damon vamps out and bites Caroline’s neck. She doesn’t look like she’s enjoying that.

I'm a 30-something south Floridan who loves the beach but cannot swim. Such is my life, full of small contradictions and little trivialities. My main life goals are never to take life too seriously, but to do everything I attempt seriously well. After that, my life goals devolve into things like not wearing pants and eating all of the Zebra Cakes in the world. THE WORLD.
Emmy is a teacher/poet by day and a blogger/cat mom by night. She spends a lot of time watching scary movies and then jumping at every small noise for the next five or twelve hours. Her dream job would absolutely be kitten/puppy cuddling, or maybe professional napper.
