Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile Rayna is in the well and Damon says she looks exactly like Elena, Rayna asks "What's next?" and then puts the lotion in the basket (a clear reference to The Silence of the Lambs). Coincidentally, Nina Dobrev, who plays Elena, did a video for Funny or Die, and says in the beginning, it puts the lotion on its skin.
- Quotes
Valerie Tulle: You've only been running a few days, Stefan. Think of it like it's an adventure.
Stefan Salvatore: [scoffs] I don't want an adventure. I wanna get these herbs and have a nice, quiet home-cooked meal with my girlfriend.
Valerie Tulle: And do what? Pay bills? Talk about your day? Ugh.
Stefan Salvatore: Wait, you don't actually enjoy this, do you?
Valerie Tulle: Hmm. There's a certain constant in the lack of constants. Once you accept it... it's invigorating.

The only saving grace in this episode was Bonnie Bennett. She made every scene she shared with everyone meaningful & interesting. Even though Ian was horrible for the majority of the episode, his scene with Bonnie was awesome.
So, now that I got that out the way, I need to talk about what actually happened in the episode.
Damon Salvatore is one of the most selfish people on this show. Everyone is willing to sacrifice for his ungrateful asxs & he returns the favor my spitting in their face (figuratively). He used to be my favorite TV male character, but as the show went on his character has not really grown. The only person he wants to live for his Elena... how freaking pathetic his that. Stefan had been through so much with this idiot... always sacrificing his happiness... at this point, I am ready for Stefan to stake him.
Also, when he hurt Bonnie, I wanted to kill him myself.
I could be in my feelings & Damon could regain my love in the next episode, but I really do not see how he could go about doing that. I hope Ian puts on his acting pants next episode because I do not know what that performance was in this episode.
I almost forgot about Matt Donovan. He is so pointless & he needs to go. I am over him.
Best parts
*Anything Bonnie B.
*Bonnie's & Enzo's interactions... they are the best parts of this season so far
*Bonnie's & Damon's talk at the beginning & at the end of the episode. The ending was so emotional & Katerina Graham as outgrown this show for a while now because she has by far been the best actor.
*Damon's & Stefan's emotional goodbye... I felt so bad for Stefan because Damon keeps hurting him.
5/10
4 stars for Bonnie
