Vampire Diaries Recap: Girl on 火, 消防 

If “hell messes with you, but post-hell is much worse,” as Stefan alleges, then Friday’s

was basically a 42-minute hangover — only with less headaches, and more beheadings.

The Originals Crossover: How Will Klaus React to Caroline’s Pregnancy?

Still haunted by the ghost of his soldier pal, Damon did everything he could to shake off his time in the Phoenix stone, but to no avail. His visions became increasingly more twisted as the episode progressed, until Damon was finally reunited with Elena… whom he proceeded to 

For those of you keeping score at home, this is at least the second time Elena has been set ablaze. (Also, kudos to the show for actually getting Elena’s face into the shot. That couldn’t been easy.) “She held you back from being the monster you really are,” ghost-Henry told Damon, which leads me to believe that the worst of Damon’s spiral is still to come.

Stefan, meanwhile, realized that he wasn’t quite as “over” his time in hell as he previously thought. He remained tortured by his own time there — during which he and Damon were drowning, and he was forced to let his brother die — until he eventually cracked, telling Caroline, “I will never be happy until Damon is out of my life forever.” (That’s 

‘CAROLARIC’ | I’m not sure if that’s the official ‘ship name for Caroline and Alaric, but there’s one thing I

know: This episode signaled the beginning of the end of “Steroline.” Not only was Caroline super impressed by Alaric’s diaper-changing skills, but when he revealed that he plans on raising his twins far away from Mystic Falls (and vampires), it was the most brokenhearted I’ve seen Ms. Forbes since she lost her mom last season. There are rough waters ahead, folks. We’re all going to need to hold on tight.

CROOKED COP | After a few too many drinks at Caroline’s baby shower, Matt found himself behind bars for the night. (Don’t drink and drive, people!) Things were briefly looking up for him when a cute female cop showed him mercy — until she asked him about the contents of his truck; frankly, I can’t 

to see how he explains all those vamp-crushing weapons. Then again, maybe I should be more concerned about what Matty Blue Blue is doing three years from now: A flashback revealed him busting future-Caroline out of a box, then pulling a gun on her. (Why, Matt? Why?!)

PARTY CRASHER | Speaking of Matt, Mystic Falls’ token human was less than thrilled to see Nora at Caroline’s baby shower — and he didn’t even spend enough time with her to hear about the “postcard” she received from the Huntress. (Yes,

huntress, the one we’ve been waiting to meet since November.)

* Did anyone else scream internally when Bonnie matched with Matt on that app? #NeverForget that I once asked Kat Graham point-blank about a Bonnie/Matt pairing, to which she said, “I don’t know if the Bonnie that’s finally back … would even be good for him.” (Hey, a recapper can dream!) Also, I’d totally watch a

fans, your thoughts on this week’s episode? Drop ’em in a comment below.

Please tell me that Elenas blurry face for 5 seconds was not the “Blind Item” from a couple weeks ago… That doesn’t count as a star returning to their show? Please no… That would be weak!!!

lol, no. i can confidently say that was *not* the blind item.

Thank you for confirming Andy! I will be sure to keep my eyes open for the real return! 😀

I take it burning Elena’s body definitely confirms that Nina Dobrev will not make a return from her non-existent film career?

She will be back for the series finale. Also, in the 3 year time jump earlier this season it shows Damon in a coffin waiting for Elena, so the likelihood of them seriously torching Elena is very slim.

They didn’t kill her in the first place so that she could come back if she wanted to. They aren’t finished filming this season yet of course. Candice King is on maternity leave in real life AND next season isn’t for sure yet so it could be possible for Nina to return especially if this season is the last.

Have a feeling the casket was a decoy Tyler brought him to.

What you talking about…she’s in the next “XXX” movie with Vin Diesel.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Elena is immune to fire. I have no doubt she will be back for the series finale next year.

It’s a little to obvious that Damon was hallucinating when he burned Elena. Stefan tells Damon that he tried to burn his body and then Damon goes and burns Elena’s? Give me a break! And as if Tyler would really take Damon to her body when he knows he is hallucinating and out of control.

Also Tyler wouldn’t have left her somewhere that they could get to that quickly. Oh she’s the most important thing in the world to you and you want me to hide her away even from you until Bonnie has grown old and died? Ok I’ll leave her at a container storage yard less then an hour away and the first time you ask me to take you to her I won’t even put up a fight.

Come on Julie Plec. Let’s have some better writing. I love this show but with the plot lines being that obvious it’s not a shock that you were moved to Friday to die out and get cancelled.

And Luke – NM is correct to say Nina has a non existent career – Nina has done nothing since she left TVD except a very disappointing appearance on Lip Sync Battle. Also she is only in talks to join the cast of XXX she hasn’t actually got a part yet.

Nina Dobrev was stupid to leave TVD regardless of how her character was written, she should have faught for a better storyline for her character, rather than just leave without any promising future. I wouldn’t doubt she starts pulling stunts like Miley Cyrus for attention next… Shes got nothing, and she wasn’t thinking when she left…

Her leaving the way she did, just makes her seem uncommitted and unpredictable, TVD is the biggest point on her resume, and she left without finishing. It’d be one thing if she was just a secondary cast member, but she was basically the star or co star and she just quit… That doesn’t leave a good impression when she goes for a new role..

Vampire Diaries was not moved to Friday nights to die. So far, the numbers are STEADY with their old time slot. Grimm and Blue Bloods Have lasted on Friday nights for years.

I still think that elena could come back. Because in the fast forward 3 years later somewhere in season 7, stefan wakes damon up from his frozen state in a coffin. And tells him something along the lines of i told nit to wake me up until elena wakes up. So im guessing theres still hope unless the writers are idiots.

Why are some fans under the impression that Nina Dobrev will actually return to this sinking ship?

Because she “promised” to come back to finish Elena’s story. Some of these people need to realize that it also depends on when TVD ends and if Nina can fit it in her schedule. A lot of variables have to be in place for Nina to come back, I’m sure Nina will try but I wouldn’t blame her for not wanting to come back to this especially to how Elena was written in the later seasons. Why would she want to come back to act out such a weak character on as you said a sinking ship?

I thought she was too, but you have to remember her and Bonnie are linked. So what happens to Elena, happens to Bonnie…this was stated since season one even after she was cursed.

Is tyler dead!? And damon is a nutjob. Love him but team Stefan. Though it could have been just as easily Stef lighting the casket on fire. Poor Matt. I hope things work out for him. He looked very sexy in the flashfoward. Glad my Ric is back.

And Kol ( Nathaniel Buzolic ) finally gets his justice! Elena is burned and the REAL Kol Mikaelson may be returning to the Originals!

Can’t wait for Caroline to have the babies. And truefully, Caroline and Stefano should never been together in first place. The writers got it wrong. Her being engaged to Alaric in the future wrong, please. What the writers need to do is have her go to New Orleans later down the line and oneday she and Klaus will get to each other for real. She to me is MRS. CAROLINE MIKELSEN.

I believe Klaus and Caroline will eventually be together. They share such a great chemistry and they both bring out the best in each other, in the most unexpected ways. They’re also so much alike, but different in all the right ways that they balance each other out. The quote about him being her last love is really great.

So many times on both their parts; the picture Klaus drew for Caroline, the fact that she held onto the picture until Tyler made her get rid of it out of jealousy. The time when Caroline needed a prom dress becuz Elena stole hers, Caroline pretended she didn’t want to ask Klaus for help, but she really did. When he bite her after they killed Kol, even tho Klaus was furious over his brothers death. he healed her, and the quote Klaus said to her when he healed. And many many more.

My guess on the deputy who arrested Matt is that she is secretly that famous vampire hunter that Nora got the postcard from, and that she has the deputy job near mystic falls acoping it out. This would also explain how Matt is apparently a vampire hunter in a fanatical way in the flash forward.

it was SO good to see tyler again. i agree with you andy; can he please stay forever and ever? also the caroline/alaric scenes were great. her getting attached to the babies, wanting to be in their lives was bound to happen.
