I thought this episode had great dialogue and character interactions, like when Bonnie tries to explain to Caroline that she doesn’t let her in on everything because she never listens, and all the back and forth between Damon and Stefan.

Also I thought this episode had great music – loved hearing Pablo Sebastian’s “Lies” during the scene when Bonnie and Elena are in the car and then Bonnie throws away the crystal, as well as Great Northern’s “Houses” which played when Jenna and Alaric talk at the Mystic Grill. You can watch those scenes on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foTF_PlWhbs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC8YQHrvbe4

Oh my gosh, I am so hooked on this show! I loved the brother interactions and I was shocked to see Logan at the end – I guess that’s the reason why the writer’s decided to make Jenna pine over him.
The Emily storyline genuinely scared me – to the point where I wondered if I would have to stop watching and resume during the daytime (I cannot handle scary movies and I happened to be watching TVD at 1 am).
I thought it was interesting that Damon said that he knew “everything” even though Stefan had surprised him earlier that night with the news that Stefan had been the last one to see (wink, wink) Katherine before she died. I guess Damon was just referring to the fact that he wasn’t being compelled???
I’m can’t believe that you didn’t mention the preview for next weeks episode. Looks like Stefan and Elena don’t stay apart for long.

Ack! How did I not recognize Alaric as Warner from the Legally Blonde movie?? Silly me. I think I was too focused on “who heck is Emily, and why do I know her?” to move on. Turns out SHE was from Buffy (duh!), but Alaric was super familiar too.

As I said on your other blog, when a commenter brought it up, I think things are fishy with Alaric, and the possibility of him being a vamp. The writers seem to be REALLY making it obvious that we’re supposed to think that, which always makes me super hesitant.

I thought this episode was the best yet. It was packed full of suspense and surprise- I LOVED IT!

To follow up on a few of your comments such as Logans return (what the heck!?)- remember when Vicki bit him…. I’m sure that’s when he turned. And, the teacher, Alaaric, definitely a vamp. He was wearing the ring and he took a pause at the threshold.

As for the brotherly love and emotion btwn Damon and Stefan- perfect.

Now, what I’m most eager to have revealed is the significance of the Gilberts that Logan and Alaaric are after, and what’s going on with Jeremy (is he going to snap out of it or is he going to embrace this new “focus”).

Lord help me I can’t wait for next week!

I kinda figured Alaric was a vampire when they showed a closeup of his ring — it looked pretty similar to Damon’s and Stefan’s. The whole door thing kinda confirmed it for me. I thought it was a pretty enjoyable episode. I am less mad at Damon that I was last week. He looked so lost at the end.
