Vampire Diaries: Season 4, Episode 19: “Pictures of You”




Here’s the recap from the Vampire Diaries Wiki Page:



PROM NIGHT IN MYSTIC FALLS After making a decision that infuriates Klaus, Elijah proposes a life-changing challenge for Rebekah. Caroline finds that her carefully laid plans for the perfect Senior Prom night are disrupted by Elena, so she turns to an amused Klaus for a solution. Determined to get through to Elena, Damon and Stefan both attend the prom, but the evening begins to spiral out of control despite their efforts. When Elena suddenly lashes out in a way no one could have predicted, Matt turns to Rebekah for help. Finally, Bonnie makes a terrifying discovery, and Klaus receives a message that could change everything.


Elena
L: Was I the only one who got Elena and Katherine confused in the beginning of this episode?  Caroline totally looked better in that dress. Also when she was a bitch about her “dead brother” I was enraged.

R: I’m surprised that Elena can act like a shittier version of Katherine.  Elena being so mean makes me miss bitch Katherine.  Text I sent L after Elena stole Caroline’s dress: And the biggest C in the universe goes to...
I disagree with L, I think Elena looked better in it, but that doesn’t change the fact that she needs to get daggered. (L: HA HA HA)

Stefan
R: Stefan and Elena’s dancing scene was super hot. That’s all I have to say

L: Agree about the dancing!  I couldn’t tell if he was faking or not.  I liked that he asked Caroline about getting over someone... when are those two going to hook it up?

Damon
R: Were the Salvatore brothers even in this episode????

L: At this point I still think Damon is being weak.  I LOVED Silas-as-Stefan taunting Damon in the woods about he and Elena being no more than a one night stand because they were sire bonded.  If I never hear the phrase “sire bond” again, I will be okay with that.

Caroline
L:  I thought her prom idea was a little stupid.  Like here are elevendy million pictures of the six of us. (R: I THOUGHT THE SAME THING)  But I was soooo scared for her when I thought Tyler was Silas.  Speaking of Tyler, he can magically transport into this air now?  JEALOUS.  I agree with R that Caroline is the best character on the show.  She started out so weak and annoying, it’s awesome to see her be a badass.  She’s totally using Klaus, but I mean she did plan the whole prom.  Of course she wants a killer dress.

R: Caroline is holding this show together.  She is the best character by far.  When she went to Klaus for help with her dress in a panic was so adorable, and Klaus’s face and reaction was perfect. When Tyler showed up I was happy for Caroline, but the fact that her and Klaus haven’t hooked up yet is stupid.  I think Klaus and Caroline’s chemistry is one thing I’m going to miss about the originals jumping ship to a new show.

Bonnie
L:  Bonnie has got to be the dumbest person ever.  When she was “shocked” that Silas was making her dream of fires I was annoyed.  I don’t quite want her dead.... but I’m close.  She (edit: almost) makes me miss Lexie.  Oh except when she was torturing Elena.  That was a likeable moment.

R: There is NO way you miss Lexie L.  Bonnie is getting less and less needed on this show.  I did love that scene with her and Jeremy, but she needs to be useful or else kill her off.

Matt
L:  I still kind of love Matt.  (Sidebar: what is April doing here still?!)  I still want Rebekah and Matt to hook up.  Is he the only one who isn’t magical now on this whole show?!

Rebekah
L:  I kind of miss Rebekah being a bad guy.  She looked super pretty at prom.

R: I (surprisingly) really like nice Rebekah.  Her brothers were so mean to her, if she wants to be human just let her have it!  If she decides not anymore than change her back into a vampire, I don’t understand the problem.  So what.  I want her and Matt to grow old and have babies, this was the first episode maybe ever that I have actually liked Matt in.  

Klaus
R: PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME FOR A DIFFERENT SHOW. The end with Katherine’s letter was just a setup for the episode this week (The Originals) so I don’t really care what is in New Orleans.  Part of me hopes that the episode tanks and they all stay in Mystic Falls.  Sidenote: Oh and who is that bitch face werewolf? Where the heck did she go?

L: She’s looking for her birth parents or something.  Total bitch face.  Klaus was interesting in this episode.  I wish he would try to kill Silas instead of being so whiny about being tortured.  Bringing all the dead magical people back is a terrible idea.  BUT he did give Caroline the dress.  I’m disappointed knowing that he won’t be on future seasons because that chemistry with him and Caroline is so great.  

Elijah
L: Well, well.  Elijah is back in charge.  He has the cure, given to him by Katherine, who meant it as as sign of her loyalty to him.  I thought his challenge was kind of stupid, or maybe should have been presented better as him trying to protect Rebekah, to make SURE she wants to be human?  Anyway Elijah is still apparently in love with Katherine.  Boring.  I texted R after the show ended, “I can’t believe Elijah would be that stupid” and I still feel that way.  Him being tricked by Silas isn’t credible and was kind of a weak story line.

R: Elijah is hot, but he is being stupid.

And, finally.... Katerina
L: The bitch is back.  I hope she decides there’s only room for one doppleganger in town and takes out Elena for good.

Notes
L: I can’t believe this season is ending soon.  Yesterday we found out it was renewed in February.  Thank you TV gods.  Oh and PS: I was so happy there was an event/party/dance/gala in this episode.  I missed those.  Whoever is the costume designer for this show does a great job (expect with Evil Elena - all of her clothes suck).

R: Here’s what’s left, I think we should all prepare for lots and lots of Elena crying and blaming herself for everything...they have to fix her soon right?
