Vampire Diaries: 1912

A nice blast from the past this episode. My husband was less than thrilled for flashbacks, but hey, it may explain a thing or two. Let's bite right in, um dig :)

In 1912.....

Council members are being killed. That includes their nephew, Mr. Salvatore. They come back (as vamps) for the funeral and say its their uncles. They meet with Samantha Gilbert (Elena's relative). Damon is mad at Stephan for turning him and only kills to eat and survive. Damon meets a boxer named Sage, who helps him bite for pleasure. She picks the most conservative girls as his prey. He tries to teach Stephan about this and he becomes too crazy and is nicknamed "the ripper". Stephan goes to drink one of them so much that her head falls off. Pretty crazy. He apologizes, but it is just too late. This might be the moment they stopped speaking to one another.

Present Day....

Elena is trying to run away her problems and learns from Matt that Bonnie's mother is going to complete the transition to a vamp. Woah. Bonnie is still not ready to talk to Elena though.

Alaric is locked up in his cell (after being stabbed and waking up, was Meredith Fell supernatural?). Sheriff Forbes tells him that Dr. Fell said he tried to attack her. Nobody believes he is innocent. They think he is behind the murders of the councilmen. Dr. Fell is sneaky and wouldn't you know Torrey Devito only plays cray crays? (Nanny Carrie on One Tree Hill, Creepy Melissa Hastings on Pretty Little Liars and now this!).

Elena and Matt try to figure out what happened. They speak to Meredith and she says he is a danger to them. They sneak into her apartment while she is at surgery and find a locked box in her closet. It has files on all the murdered victims as well as Alaric. It also has a diary, a Gilbert one. They also find the coroner report about Meredith's ex who was actually murdered before 1am, which clears Alaric and completes his alibi. She comes home and busts them. Matt was smart enough to take the journal. There is a little side story about he is the only normal one and how he probably still loves Elena. The journal belongs to her ancestor Samantha who went mad. She wrote crazy things about killings.

Stephan and Damon are at the bar hanging out with Rebekkah. She keeps loitering around. Damon tries to get Stephan to drink human blood again since he has been twitching. He bites a girl out in the alley and tells Stephan if he doesn't join him then the girl dies. Stephan takes a bite and drains her. Elena sees this happen and is mortified.

Rebekkah is curious herself about the white oak tree that is still living. She asks Mayor Lockwood and she says the tree logs are from the Salvatores. She needs to find this tree and make sure its gone, or her and her brothers will die. She tells Damon and Stephan that Samantha Gilbert was killed by her and made into a vamp, or so she thought.

Alaric is freed because his alibi clears. Meredith tells him this is because she forged the note to help him. She thinks that he is subconsciously killing the council members and even stabbed himself. Elena is just happy that Alaric is home, they are going to watch out for one another from now on.

The Kickers....

They figure out that the Gilbert rings were cursed. One which was Samantha's is the one that Ric has. And the other Jeremy has (he can see dead people so who knows). They think that Samantha is channeling through Ric to keep murdering the council people. Damon and Stephan realized that she had confessed to the murders 10 years later, but he thought he had killed her before they locked her up in the insane asylum.

My question is why? If she was a Gilbert, why does she want her people dead that are not vamps. Everyone that she killed had vampire blood in them, so they would wake as a vamp. I am super confused, are you?
