The Vampire Diaries Episode (4x11) Recap - "Catch Me If You Can": "Well, would you like to hear me tell a joke?"

Previously on The Vampire Diaries...

• Damon acted like Molly Ringwald in 16 Candles, hoping Elena would show up at the lake house in a Corvette.
• Rebekah mean girled Elena, Stefan, and Caroline.
• Stefan got his heart broken some more.
• Caroline is the worst best friend ever.
• Elena is secretly a bitch.
• Tyler grieved.
• Sheriff Forbes and the new Mayor nearly burned down MFHS with thousands of unattended candles.
• Bonnie almost killed April.
• Jeremy and Matt relived Karate Kid. The unfun version.
• Klaus committed another genocide. Must be Thursday!

When I heard this episode would be called, "Catch Me If You Can," I immediately thought of the Leonardo DiCarprio movie of the same name. In that film. Frank Abagnale, Jr. ran cons as a teenager, and stole millions of dollars in the process by forging checks. For years he was chased by the FBI, until one day he got caught. He was such a pro, the US government offered him a job catching forgers. In tonight's episode everyone was running around in their race for the cure, while trying to catch their opponents to take them out of commission. Team Stebekah went after Shane for Silas' tombstone. Team Klaus tried to complete Jeremy's mark. Team Kol reeked havoc, while Team Shane got sidelined. Overall, the night was filled with disappointments, revelations, and VampSex.

Last week were left off with Klaus turning a bar full of patrons into newbie vamps for Jeremy to hunt. When Jeremy refused, Klaus sicked the vamps on him and Matt. Matt got attacked, but a newly arrived Elena saved the day. In the end, Jeremy didn't have to kill the vamps because Kol beat him to it. He still doesn't want the gang to raise Silas since myths say the immortal's rising will bring about the end of the world. When Jeremy and Damon didn't see things Kol's way, Kol attacked and compelled Damon into killing Jeremy. That way, Kol wouldn't have to live with the Hunter's Curse. Damon would. For the majority of the episode Jeremy ran from Damon, while attempting to use the knowledge Damon had taught him. 

"You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you."

As the Mystic Falls' edition of The Hunger Games ensued, Elena did her best to help both Jeremy and Damon, but ended up failing miserably. It was Stefan who had the pleasure of snapping his brother's neck in order to save the day. After learning that Damon was hunting Jeremy, Elena called for back-up.

At first, Stefan seemed to be having too much fun hanging with Rebekah searching for rocks, flirting, and torturing red shirts to bother, but in the end he couldn't let his big brother get killed. Instead, Stefan proved how great a multi-tasker he is by throwing Damon in the family dungeon, bleeding him, locking him up, telling off Elena, and boning Rebekah. All in a day's work.   

While all of the other Scoobies are hitched to a branch of the Original family tree, Bonnie is still gaga for Shane. Thanks to April Young (and Rebekah), the Mayor and Sheriff Forbes have brought Shane in for questioning about the massacre he confessed to Rebekah last week, which is why he wasn't around when Team Stebekah came calling. Though Shane kept mum for the authorities, he confessed "all" to Bon Bon. She was not pleased. So much so, that she almost burned down the sheriff's station. Like with everyone else, Shane used the "We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come" speech, and claimed Silas would raise Grams if Bonnie helped him. Bon claimed she wasn't going to fall for that trick, but...

Everyone is so busy chasing the cure, and trying to save Elena, that no one has bothered to ask her if she even wants it. From the way she shouted, "I don't even want the cure! Not if it means putting the people I love in danger," I'd say that's the closest we'll get to how she really feels about things. Elena is happy for the first time in a long time. She's probably afraid that getting the cure will end all that, and would rather stay sired to Damon. Is hiding from your fears the best policy? Nope! Anyone who's been watching this show knows you'll just get bit in the ass. 

By the end of the episode Elena decided to become proactive in this whole thing since no one is going to stop going after the cure. Klaus doesn't just want Elena to be his human blood bad again, but wants to make sure no one but her uses the cure, especially if it's against him. Rebekah wants to do just that. She's tired of her brother daggering her and her siblings, and wants to bring him down a peg or two. Both Salvatores seem to want the cure for themselves as well as Elena. Everyone seems to have a stake in chasing this McGuffin, so instead  of fighting them, may as well join them. Hopefully before things get too bad, they'll all realize that if you run, someone will chase, and eventually catch you. They better pray it's not the wrong person.

The Good. The Bad. The Ugly:

• Stebekah sex!
• Off camera ;(
• Elena finally has a decent plan. Team Gilbert!
• Salvatore Dungeon of Doom
• Ugh, Bonnie! Really? DON'T TRUST MURDERERS!
• Dark Bonnie :)
• Kol reeking havoc
• Red Shirt biting off tongue. Ew!
• Jeremy flexing his Hunter Muscles. Power up!

The Vampire Diaries Episode (4x14) Synopsis - "Down the Rabbit Hole"

On The Vampire Diaries episode 414 titled, "Down the Rabbit Hole," Charlie Bewley from Twilight guest stars. The gang is still on Mystery Island searching for the Cure, and discover things aren't what they previously believed. Highlight to reveal!

CHARLIE BEWLEY FROM “TWILGHT” GUEST STARS AS ONE OF THE FIVE HUNTER — On the island, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) has an ugly run-in with a Hunter named Vaughn (guest star Bewley), and realizes he is one of The Five. Stefan (Paul Wesley) confesses his true feelings about the possibility of becoming human again to Elena (Nina Dobrev).

McQueen) helps Bonnie (Kat Graham) recognize what is real and what is an illusion, and Shane (guest star David Alpay) is comforted by a woman from his past, Caitlin (guest star Camille Guaty, “Prison Break”). Back in Mystic Falls, Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) find that their attempt to translate the code on the Hunter’s Sword is futile without help from Klaus (Joseph Morgan), who has his own reasons for solving the puzzle. Claire Holt also stars. Chris Grismer directed the episode written by Jose Molina (#414).

The Vampire Diaries Episode (4x10) Recap - "After School Special"

Previously on The Vampire Diaries...

• Tyler and the Hybrids decided to take out Klaus.
• Stefan and Caroline tried to stop him.
• Hayley played them all for fools.
• Shane, Bonnie, Elena, and Damon helped Jeremy deal with his "issues."
• Damon envolked the sire bond for the first time, and cockblocked himself.
• Caroline dropped a bomb on Stefan.
• Klaus showed the Hybrids how he rolls. 
• He showed Carol Lockwood, too.
• April is no longer clueless (or useless)?
• Christmas Carols will never be the same. 

Traditionally, After School Specials were television movies that aired when children were out of school, and the topics they tackled were generally tough ones for families to broach with their teens. These specials touched on topics like teen sex, under aged drinking, drugs, and even eating disorders. Their aim was to show teens what could happen if they engaged in these activities, but also let them know that they aren't alone. These are situations teens everywhere face. Most of these specials weren't preachy, and were able to get uncomfortable subjects across to kids in an entertaining (and enlightening) way while teaching valuable life lessons. Sometimes in the midst of uncomfortable truths. In "After School Special" we got the opportunity to witness this TVD style.

We learned some uncomfortable truths:

• Elena is in love with Damon, and she slept with him because she loves him, not because of the sire bond. 
• Elena still loves Stefan, but she's no longer in love with him. 
• Tyler feels responsible for his mother's death. 
• April feels like she's been played for a fool by everyone in her life. 
• Jeremy isn't as bad-ass as he thinks he is. Yet.
• Damon is desperate for the cure, because he doubts Elena's feelings for him are genuine. 
• Elena's desire to prove himself to Elena as the good guy is making him weak.
• Bonnie no longer trusts herself, and is scared of her powers.

After being daggered (again) by Klaus, Rebekah is now back in action, and ready for some revenge. She decides to take Elena, Stefan, and Caroline hostage to get up to date, as well as reek havoc. It's through her actions that the majority of the gang comes to terms with the feelings they've been hiding from each other, and themselves. 

"Did that hurt? Welcome to the last 900 years of my life."

The reason for Rebekah's method of attack is for Stefan to understand what she's gone through for the past 900 years. Bex wants Stefan to know what it's like when the person you love doesn't love you back. She wants Stefan to feel betrayed by his brother, the way Rebekah has felt betrayed by Klaus. Not only that, but Rebekah wants Stefan to feel so much pain that he'd wish it away. Even if it meant giving up every happy moment he's had with Elena. Unfortunately for Stefan, unlike Klaus, Rebekah would never compel away Stefan's love. The eternal pain he'll have to live with is her ultimate punishment.

“Being with Damon makes me happy, when I’m with him it feels unpredictable, like, like I’m free.”

Stefan has been holding on to this belief that all of Elena's actions have been due to her sire bond to Damon. He's been under the impression that if he can turn her human again then he could get her back. Stefan has noticed how close Damon and Elena have become. In fact, he's the first one who called Elena on having feelings for Damon. Now that she's actually acted on them, he's wishing he can magic those feelings away. Stefan has been so hell bent on "saving" Elena, that's he's never stop to think what she thinks on the subject.

What Stefan has failed to realize is that his need to "fix" Elena has only made her fall out of love with him. She's been made to feel that she isn't good enough the way she is, and that the only way Stefan will want her is if she behaves in a certain way. The fact that she can't (or won't) makes Elena feel like she's the reason Stefan is unhappy. Elena doesn't want to be loved by someone who only wants her if she fits a particular ideal, but wants someone to love her unconditionally. This is what she believes Damon gives to her.

According to Elena, Damon never expects her to "be" any particular way. With him she can be whoever, and however she wants. With Damon, Elena doesn't feel the pressure to live up to any expectations. She doesn't feel like a broken toy, that needs to be fixed. Elena feels Damon loves her no matter what. He lifts the weight she's been carrying around on her shoulders ever since her parents' car went off Wickory Bridge a year ago.

While Stefan, Elena, and Caroline play "Truth or are" with Rebekah, Kol is back to help his sister out. what Rebekah doesn't know is that Kol has no interest in getting the cure. Once he helps Bex get Shane to confess his part in the Council's demise, Kol tries to take Shane out. Why Kol is against the cure is unknown at this time, but it seems he knows something about this much talked about Silas. Kol didn't say much during Shane's confession, but Silas' name seemed to grab his attention. Not to mention Kol ramming a piece of rebar in Shane's chest was a dead give away. 

While we may not know what's going on with Kol, we do know that Bonnie needs to run away from Shane as fast as she can. Her attempts to protect Shane as he was being tortured by the Original Sibs resulted in her getting April killed. Or so she thinks. I'm still of the mind that Shane is Silas, and he's using the Scoobies to get his powers back.

 Little Miss April was helping Bex in her revenge plot, but seemed on the fence when it came to hurting anyone human. Though I wasn't sure if April was compelled, or acting of her own accord, I did find her more interesting this week. Who knew all it would take for this character to get a personality was for her to get pissed off. 

"If you're here for payback, go for it. Because then you'll be stuck babysitting the little hunter that could." 

Out at the lake house, Damon was training Jeremy for hunter duty with Matt's help. Though Damon was going about it in a manner that would increase Jeremy's chance of survival, Klaus wasn't pleased. After he was tricked into killing all of his hybrids, Klaus wants to replenish his supply, and the best way to do that is cure Elena. When the Original Hybrid learns Jeremy hasn't even killed a vampire yet since his training began, Klaus was livid. to get the ball rolling, Klaus pointed out that the only reason Damon hasn't taken Jeremy out hunting is because he's worried how Elena will take it. In the end, Klaus takes matters into his own hands. Damon relents, and jumps on the Team Klaus bandwagon one Elena confesses her love to him, and he realizes that he'd do anything to hear her say, "I love you," and know she means it. 

With all of this happening, there was one person who was really going through the ringer - Tyler. His mother was murdered by Klaus in revenge for Ty's Underground Railroad scheme, and her death was written off as an accidental drowning due to intoxication. His mother has stood by him. Even after she learned he was a werewolf, and now people will believe she was a drunk that drowned in a fountain in town square. Tyler has lost his father, Mason, and now his mother. He's the only successful hybrid still living. He's an orphan. Tyler is all of these things, and he's never felt more alone in his life. He's so angry at the world that all Tyler wants to do is be by himself. What he learns in the end is that he can't bottle up his grief. Tyler must lean on the shoulders of his friends, because they're all he's got left. 

With all of the shocking reveals this week, it'll probably be a while before the friends come together. Elena feels betrayed by Caroline. Stefan feels betrayed by Damon. Jeremy feels trapped by Klaus. Rebekah feels used and abused. The list just goes on and on, and all of the betrayals are fracturing old alliances, and crating new ones in their place. Rebekah wanted to create a game where everyone races for the cure, and the winner gets to do with it what they will. As the Scoobies' fractions are formed, the race is on, and the best man may not win. 


What's good:

• Snarky dialogue
• Sassy April
• Vengeful Bex
• Damon shooting Klaus 5 times with wooden bullets. 
• Elena confessing her love to Damon.
• Michael Trevino everything.
• Jeremy's arms, abs, ...

What's Sad:

• Stefan everything
• Tyler tears

Entertainment Weekly Talks with Julie Plec about Spin-Off, Upcoming Episode and More!

Executive Producer Julie Plec talks more in depth about spin-off "The Originals" with Entertainment Weekly. Click here for full article.

 ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The idea of doing a spinoff has been around for a while. Why was the time right to pull the trigger?

It’s actually something that we’ve been talking about for two years, that we contemplated trying to get off its feet last year, but there was just too much work to do in too little time. So that gave us an opportunity this year to spend a lot more time putting it together — seeing if, obviously, our actors had any interest whatsoever continuing the life of these characters [Laughs] and if there was a story to tell. It all came together in a way that we finally felt would not detract from our most important baby right now, The Vampire Diaries, and would give us a chance to expand the universe with characters that we’ve had another year to get to know.

 ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY Would there be a role for Elijah (Daniel Gillies) in the spinoff, because there needs to be.

Oh, in the world of Julie Plec [Laughs] and her obsession with Daniel Gillies, there is always a role for Elijah. It’s only a matter of whether in Daniel Gillies’ world there is an interest in having a job with Julie Plec. But I can hope the answer is yes.

The Vampire Diaries to Attempt Originals Spinoff

Yesterday Deadline reports that EP Julie Plec plans to spinoff The Vampire Diaries with a backdoor pilot that will air on April 25th.

The series will be titled The Originals and will star Joseph Morgan (Klaus) and Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley). No news yet what other Originals may appear on the new series, but here's hoping we get to see more of Daniel Gillies' Elijah. 

The episode synopsis according to Deadline: 

The Originals centers on the Original family of vampires, as Klaus (Morgan) returns to the supernatural melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans — a town he helped build centuries ago — and is reunited with his diabolical former protégé Marcel.

Elena (Nina Dobrev) negotiates with Klaus to keep Jeremy safe, but when danger suddenly appears from a totally unexpected enemy, Elena comes up with her own daring plan for Jeremy. John Dahl directed the episode written by Brian Young & Michael Narducci.
