THIS POST IS A STICKY. KEEP SCROLLING FOR NEWER POSTS.

Dance events in Mystic Falls get more and more glamorous. You think that everyone looked good in Masquerade? That is so last season (pun intended), and Dangerous Liaisons blows it out of the water. Those Originals clean up nicely, too! However, let us not forget that no event is what it seems in this town, and that the dances won’t be the only twisty, turny things going on.

ITV2 will be displaying the Twitter #TVDUK hashtag during the episode, and will also be reading out the best or funniest tweet using the hashtag over the end credits. Be sure to tweet your reactions, and make sure you’re following @ITV2 for some entertaining keyboard mashing while you’re at it. As always, you can also follow us on @tvdnews.

Previously on The Vampire Diaries, everyone was dressed beautifully, there was pink champagne on ice and someone in Mystic Falls owns a horse and carriage. This episode rocked a lot of worlds in one way or another, and there’s a lot to go over before All My Children (EP315) airs tomorrow night.

I SPOIL YOU. IS THAT SO HARD TO BELIEVE?

For me, an episode is difficult to write about for one of two reasons: either it ain’t my cup of tea (a rarity with this show), or it’s so good and complicated and layered that I worry about adequately covering all the reasons why it was so bloody awesome. Dangerous Liaisons falls into category 2. Centuries of backstory feed into the events at the Mikaelson ball, as well as two-and-a-half seasons of The Vampire Diaries’ carefully orchestrated relationships. So a small gesture — like Elena taking the arm of both her suitors — is for us dedicated viewers an iconic moment. And this was an episode full of these intense, capslock-inducing moments done so well and fraught with so much feeling.

Ever wonder how the characters on The Vampire Diaries always have the perfect thing to wear? Last night’s episode was a visual feast, but where did all those amazing outfits come from?

Fortunately for us, Zap2it interviewed costume designer Leigh Leveret, and she shares some things about dressing for the ball.

“We do so many episodes fairly quickly and everyone has two to four changes an episode, so we have to have enough clothes for 22 episodes,” she says. “We do multiples because people are always getting stabbed or bitten. We buy the initial piece and go online to find multiples all over the country sometimes.”

An exception would be the clothes Elena, Caroline, Stefan and Damon wore to a ball Klaus hosted in an episode that aired Feb. 9. Leverett searched for the perfect Cinderella-like dresses for Elena and Caroline and found two that are truly special.

“We used ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as a reference to mix it up from the slinky evening wear you normally see on the show,” she says.

This is a great little piece that also reveals where Elena and Caroline’s dresses came from, a question we know a lot of fans are asking. READ THE REST AT ZAP2IT.

In the wake of last night’s Dangerous Liaisons (EP314), several media outlets have follow-ups from a Q&A with Julie Plec. You should assume that these are all very spoilery for the episode, so don’t click through if you haven’t seen it yet! To whet your appetite, here are a few of the less spoilery tidbits.

Over at TV Guide, Julie answers a few big questions, like whether everyone actually took part in a certain toast and when Tyler might return. And on Damon’s actions at the end of the episode:

“The thing with Damon we’ve seen is that when he’s hurt, he lashes out. In a way, this is both the most cruel way he could’ve lashed out, but also shows a peculiar evolution in him as a character because rather than take it out on an innocent human in the middle of the road, he’s striking where it hurts the most.”

READ THE INTERVIEW AT TV GUIDE.

At E!Online, Julie hints at another requirement for a certain spell:

“Next episode, it takes place on a full moon. We’ll learn that, like most of the big, heavy-duty witch spells, there needs to be some sort of recurring celestial event or some recurring event attached to it.”

READ THE ARTICLE AT E!ONLINE.

E!Online also has a few teasers in their Daily Spoiler Chat.

And at Entertainment Weekly, Julie talks the fun of exploring Klaus’s romantic side:

“For us, it’s fun to explore that side of Klaus — seeing a romantic vulnerability there, because it is giving us a window into him a little bit. We certainly find Klaus to be irresistible on a lot of levels, so it’s going to be interesting to see how that moves forward.”
