um yeah, well that was AMAZING!!! i almost feel sorry for katherine beccause she actually loved stefan, and i really thought that elena and stefan got into a fight :( can’t wait for the next episode, i hope stefan and elena stay together and i really hope damon and elena make up!!

GREAT EPISODE!! Full of action pact excitement. Loved the flashbacks. Although now I have more questions. What is Katherine really up to? It can’t be for Stefan because if she did love him she had 164 years before this to come back. I’m so confused. lol Ok I was seriously rooting for Caroline. But damn she was such a b—-. Found myself hoping she’d meet the same fate as Vicki. Love Stefan and Elena alone times. I am 100% for Stefan and Elena. However, even I can be pushed too far. I did not like when Katherine made her b-tchy little comment,”Damon being Damon” The poor guy loved her, and that’s how she treats him. What a evil witch. Damon really needs to go back to being a badass manwhore a player. Have to say love Mason.

Man, I really want to know what Katharine meant when she told Elena that she is asking the wrong questions. Any body have any idea’s?

Loved that they showed that Katharine does have a heart and does love Stefan, but she def is up to something else because other wise she could of just taken Stefan with her when she left that night.

When Elena and Katharine met face to face you could just tell the air left the room. haha

I don’t feel sorry for that bitch from hell! She killed 26 of her friends, her allies, and completely manipulated the poor puppy-like human Damon. He was more devoted to her than Saint Stefan, and she totally played the poor guy. That cute little scene between Damon and Elena was only a dream :( I knew it was too good to be true. It was really adorable though. And Elena DID tell Jenna to be nice to Damon. Hmm…so only Elena is allowed to be mean to him? Okay then. I have resigned myself to the fact that this season will be hell for Damon. Damn. I was hoping that fight between Stefan and Elena was real. They need a healthy fight. I was hoping it would be Damon busting in to protect Elena from Katherine. Guess not :( I did like how Damon all but flat out said Elena was worth dying for…made me go “aw.” this season, he’s going to be the one taking care of everyone. While he’s still pretty wrecked himself. I feel for the guy. Maybe him stepping up will finally prove to Elena that he’s more than worth her time. *sighs*

Katherine really treid to get Damon mad about her spending time with Stefan and wanted to make him jealous. He slapped her in the face with ” just this time it will be worht it”. She looked pissed after that. She is clearly back for more then just win Stefan back.

Enjoyed the episode tonight. Stefan was in love with Katherine, she did not compell him, as I thought. Once again Stefan and Elena are being secretive and keeping their “break-up” plan from Damon, whose help they are going to need. Katherine is not affected by vervain or Bonnie’s witchy powers. Obviously, Stefan never had the upperhand on Katherine, she had it on him. Stefan seems to make one bad decision after another. At least Elena was civil to Damon during the barbecue. I am beginning to suspect Katherine and Mason may be working together, just a hunch. Katherine may be the reason Mason committed murder and is now afflicted with the curse. Nice way to control him. This episode did not change my mind regarding Katherine, she is pure evil. What was she running from back in 1864? Klaus maybe? Damon runs into Katherine, who tells her about his werewolf encounter. She tells him to not be a hero or he’ll end up dead, which Damon replies, been there, done that, it would actually be worth it this time. Zing! YAY Damon! Don’t think Katherine will be maipulating Damon again. He is done with her. However, I have to wonder why Katherine was trying to keep Damon from going after Mason.

Paul and Nina were both AMAZING in this episode tonight. Stefan has great chemistry with both Katherine and Elena. I was on the edge of my seat as well through the whole episode. Stefan definitely has unresolved feelings for Katherine, I don’t care what he says and this is coming from a Stefan/Elena fan. He could never answer her about why he never destroyed that picture of her from 1864 and then he couldn’t bring himself to stake her. Stefan has more chemistry with Katherine than Damon does which really surprises me which is why I don’t mind Stefan/Katherine scenes together. I still want Stefan and Elena together though. I know Stefan thinks Katherine isn’t capable of love, but I beg to differ. If there is one person out there that she does care about it’s Stefan and I think the last scene proved it. I’ve now seen past and present Stefan, what’s not to love. His “break-up” scene with Elena had me in tears and then I actually got choked up at the end with Katherine telling him she loved him and they would be together again. Again the credit goes to Paul and Nina and their amazing performances!

Katherines’ great line this week, speaking to Stefan, We both know I could rip you to shreds and do my nails at the same time.
Does Jenna have any clue about vampires, werewolves or is she completely oblivious?
Jeremy MIA again this week. The writers I believe have an explosive secret regarding Jeremy and I believe they will reveal it before this month is over.
Damon tries to be the big dog and ends up like a whipped puppy.

Were Damon’s feeling for Katherine real, like he thought, or did the scene where she compelled him to leave her alone and “innocent Damon” imply that it was just her compulsion? So it was completely the other way around to what we thought – Stephan’s love for her was real, Damon’s was not? Then, does Damon really love Elena, and not because she reminds him of Katherine?
Such a good episode, this show just keeps getting better and better!

Such a great episode. One thing I can’t understand: if Katherine really loves Stefan, why didn’t she come back earlier? If she is really such a powerful vampire, it would have been easy for her to find Stefan? I cant’t believe that her love is so big. Now she ist hurt in her vanity, that Stefan and Damon are falling in love with Elena. Also, I think, there must be a further special reason why she came back, perhaps something to do with the tomb or the Lockwoods?
Poor Stefan, I think it’s getting hard for him. I am sure he loved Katherine. After getting over her and starting a new love with Elena, his first love came back. The first love is always something special, isn’t it? I am not sure about his decision: to choose between the eternal life together with Katherine and the love with Elena, which is forced to end.
There must also be a special secret with the doppelganger thing. Katherine would have killed Elena immediately – she is a rival. Why didn’t she?

OMGGG what an episode. Outstanding,fantastic,nail biting excitement… We love us some Stefan, they really had us worried. Thank god it was just a dream and thank god he an Elena didn’t break up. When Caroline was trying to stir things up with Elena, really wanted to stake her.lol Elena was so smart to catch on to what Caroline was up to. Loved the ending with Stefan and Elena embracing.(need more) Damn that Alaric looked good last night, he and Jenna need some lovin.lol Loved how Jenna wouldn’t let Damon alone with Elena, it’s like she’s thinking. She knows how guys can be players. She dated a few. The flashbacks were incredible. Katherine is such an evil yet confident bitch that gets on our nerves. As much as we want her gone, she does keep us on our toes.lol All this Damon bashing, even we have our limits. Didn’t like the comment Katherine said about Damon, what a bitch. Damon loved her and tried to save her life and that’s how she thanks him. Agree with some of the comments, Damon is his best when he is being a badass/who goes by his own rules and sleeps with all the women. Just wish that Damon would back off Mason. Mason is such a great character. Of course the fact that he is extremely hot looking doesn’t hurt. Hope he stays and we get more of him. Why is Katherine really back? That one has us stumped…if she really loved Stefan she had over 100 years to find him, but she didn’t. Georgia Peach has us thinking now, perhaps she and Mason are up to something. Stefan was looking extra hottt, god he’s sexy. Oh yes, about the dream scene at the beginning. Were not just saying this because we love Stefan and Elena together. But, when Elena and Damon were at the grill. Elena and Damon just didn’t fit, they (to us) didn’t look right together. Great episode. Loved it, as usual.

Loved this episode, but didn’t think it was “action packed”. I liked it because it was very, VERY informative. We all now know a couple of things:1. Katherine- Now THAT is a badass!!!!(Sipping vervain for 145 years so nobody will be able to get the drop on her again…WOW) All of the vampires that have been on this show have had a weakness, by this I mean the person they love. Katherine’s weakness is Stefan. From her memories, we were able to see a whole other side of the story. And what she’s done to Damon is truly awful…..Poor innocent Damon is what she called him in The Return, it seems back in 1864, that’s exactly what he was. What she has done to both of those boys is almost criminal… Don’t think Damon is going to let her manipulate him again. Very interesting that she wanted to kill all the vampires in the town (most of which she turned) in 1864, what was she scared of? Why was she leaving town? It must be one bad %##@@!!!!!**& (very, very, very bad language) to have Katherine on the run…..2. Stefan- Pretty interesting that I have said all along that he was in love with Katherine. Now we know a couple of things: a.when given what he THOUGHT was the chance to take her out, he couldn’t do it and b.- he STILL has that damn picture. I think he’s been deluding himself. I initially thought that the plan to break up with Elena was a good idea, until I heard he planned to keep Damon out of it. What a dumbass move!!!! Stefan is weak, he’s going to need all the help he can get because…….3. Mason- hmmmmm…I think he’s working with Katherine. Katherine and the Lockwoods have a long history of cutting deals, hence the moonstone.(Anyone want to bet that the moonstone originally came from Emily?)Hell, I half expected him to come walking out of the woods in the end scene…oh, and by the way, to all of you who think he’s a saint, who did he kill to bring on the curse? Did Katherine cause this to happen to him?….which brings us to..4. Damon- Back of people. After watching this show for an entire season and learning everything you now know about him, you really think he’s a player? You really think he’s evil and thinks only of himself? Seriuosly? Right now, he’s being extremely practical. He had to know if silver really worked on werewolves. I didn’t see anything wrong with him stabbing Mason. He needs to know what can take the threat out. Very good play Damon, very good play. He also get’s brownie points for not letting himself be manipulated by Katherine again. I think he’s pretty much done with that…5. Caroline- Don’t be to hard on her guys, she’s terrified of Katherine. I mean, it’s not like she can take Katherine on and manage to live. Somebody needs to help our baby vamp and pretty quick!Best scene of the night- Katherine telling Stefan she had sipped vervain for 145 years, my only thought was “Oh @!!##!!”All in all, I thought this was a pretty good episode. I liked it because of the things we learned, and the new questions that need answers…I have to admit, I miss Damon when he’s not front and center, but there is always next week….(very long sigh)  (Quote)

Agree with everything you said.
There is an “entity” that Katherine is very scared of. She is not back for Stefan otherwise she would have come for him sooner, there is more to her “game” than meets the eye. Her prey is Elena, her doppleganger. Elena should be frightened to the core! Is Katherine going to use Elena,her identical, against the “entity” that is after her? Stefan and Elena are not match for Katherine, their “break-up” scheme is a huge mistake. Not telling Damon & Alaric is another huge mistake. This will not end well for them.

Damon is a strategist, always making a plan. Damon knows Mason is an enemy, a werewolf. Their instinct is to kill vampires. Basically, it will come down to kill or be killed. Damon will protect his brother and himself.

I love this show so much. You never know what will happen in the next episode.

It’s not like if you watch a action movie, like Die Hard, and you know that in the end John will survive, no matter how hurt he is. Because the heroes almost always survives.

But with The Vampire Diaries, your head almost explodes because of all the theories. I really love it. Each new episode always has something that makes you surprised.

I always felt that Katherine loved Stefan not Damon, so that was not a surprise for me. But many other things are.

There are so many questions that have to be answered. I can’t wait to find out more about what is happening in Mystic Falls.
