Summary:
Klaus goes to New Orleans to investigate a mysterious piece of information about a plot against him. His research leads him to an old protege of his, Marcel, a vampire who is in control of both the humans and supernatural creatures of the city. Elijah is determined to help Klaus get his redemption, follows him and finds out that Hayley, who had visited the city searching for clues of her family, was captured by a powerful witch, Sophie. At the same time, in Mystic Falls, Damon and Stefan go on with their plan with Elena, and Katherine reveals a vulnerability to Rebekah and asks her to make a message delivery.
This was a weird episode, 95% set in New Orleans rather than Mystic Falls, so we each just put together a few thoughts. Welcome back to guest blogger Lorelai.
Lorelai:
I give it a B+ only because I want more Caroline and I think the Salvatore brothers torturing Elena is stupid. But I do love the premise of the new spin off
I honestly didn't think I'd watch but now I can look forward to Klaus sort of being a good guy...which I like
Rebecca:
I just think the cast of VD is so good together and it's stupid to split them on to two shows. I could not care less about Renesmee. Does this mean that Klaus/Caroline are never happening??? Oh I just want to not also, that I screen shot these pics while I'm watching it every week, and they are SO DARK! I have to put them in iphoto to make them this bright. Next week I'll post a before and after. It's bananas.
B-
Leah:
I give this episode a B because of its slow start. The pregnancy thing was a twist I did not see coming… I hope the baby doesn't eat its way out of stupid Haylee and then fall in love with a teenage werewolf. Again Elena's storyline is incredibly stupid and I think the idea of the brothers locking themselves up with her is boring and dumb. But I agree that this episode really intrigues me for the spinoff. I like when Elijah and Klaus get along and I'm happy that Elijah ditched Katherine. Now Rebekah just needs to jump on board (and bring Matt!).
Average episode grade: B.... All three of us agreed that Klaus calling Caroline was the best.
Back to MF tonight. Huzzah.
