TVD: By The Light Of The Moon my recap

   Ok so last night's episode was the mid-season finale of The Vampire Diaries and believe me when I say it did not disappoint.


   So to start with I loved how Bonnie and Jeremy tested Elena with the moonstone, which she failed miserably. Luckily, Bonnie put a spell on Elena’s house kind of like the spell on the tomb, and Elena was pretty much on house arrest throughout the whole episode. This however, didn’t protect her too much when Elijah popped up out of the blue. Seriously, Damon or Stefan needs to compel her to NOT let random strangers in her home, but more on that later.

   Then we have Stefan who is stuck in the tomb with Katherine. So honestly when I saw the promo last week I prepared myself for the whole Stefan and Katherine sex scene. Fortunately, it was just psychopathic Katherine messing with Stefan’s head. Although she does mess with Stefan’s head, she does give up helpful information about how to find Klaus. Start with Isobel, who if you will remember is Elena’s birth mother turned vampire.

   Ok so meanwhile Damon is on protect Elena duty along with Bonnie and Jeremy. Well, Damon gets a call from Alaric who informs him that one of Mason’s friends has been to the Lockwood mansion looking for Mason, after hearing a voicemail from Tyler, and that Sheriff Forbes has officially declared Mason missing person. So then Damon puts Bonnie on moonstone duty and Jeremy is on babysitting duty with Elena and Caroline has insisted to be on wolf duty with Tyler whose big wolfy debut is just a few hours away.

   I must say Tyler and Caroline were the stars in last night’s episode. It’s Tyler’s first full moon after triggering the curse and the kid is scared to death (who wouldn’t be). Of course Caroline is there every step of the way, at least until Tyler actually goes wolf. So Caroline and Tyler get to the cellar and Caroline mixes the wolfsvain and water for Tyler who barely gets it down. Tyler sets up the chains and then proceeds to take his shirt off which of course startles Caroline who turns the other way embarrassed (she knows she wanted to look we all did) Then we watch in agony (and in my case tears) as Tyler’s body is mangled every which way until he finally turns into a wolf. All the while Caroline is right by his side soothing him and telling him everything will be ok. She stays as I said before until he goes wolf to avoid the dangers of getting bitten (according to legend a werewolf bite is deadly to a vampire). After Tyler’s transformation Caroline wanders around in the woods until she thinks it is safe to return to Tyler. She enters the cellar cautiously and calls out to Tyler who answers back. Caroline rushes in and holds Tyler as they both cry.

   As mentioned before Damon received a call from Alaric about Mason’s “friend” Jules. So Damon meets Alaric at the Mystic Grill (which seems to be the place everyone meets up at). As soon as Damon gets there so does Jules, and she asks Alaric if he has seen Tyler Lockwood. Of course Alaric plays it off and then pretends to be a drunk in order to allow Damon to make his move in which he does pretending to save her from a drunken Alaric. While Damon has Jules distracted talking about how good of a guy Mason was Alaric puts wolfsvain in her drink. So all throughout their conversation Damon is trying to get Jules to take a sip of her drink when she finally does she catches Damon by surprise when she slams the glass down and tells him she knew what he was and then threatens him. Damon being Damon wants to go after her, but Alaric convinces him that it is not a good night with it being a full moon. So Damon goes home to find something not quite right and walks through the house cautiously only to find Rose has returned. Rose apologizes for leaving and tells Damon she needs a place to stay and that they can be friends with benefits and that she will help protect Elena. Then Jules in wolf form bursts in through the window and goes straight for Damon who throws her on Rose who gets bitten. (At this point I’m sure everyone was like oh no). Of course Damon and Rose are thinking that she is going to die soon, but then surprisingly the bite begins to heal, or does it. It soon begins to fester up and looks really gross.

   So back to Elena who is on house arrest. Elena finds Jenna digging through a closet with her parents things in it and when she asks her why Jenna explains that she is helping Mrs. Lockwood and they have a guest who is a writer writing about small towns in Virginia. Well when Jenna closes the closet door there stands Elijah. This guy is pretty good at showing up out of nowhere. So Elena runs upstairs to get Jeremy, but is stopped by Elijah. Jeremy amazingly walks past Elijah without seeing him, and then Elijah and Elena make a deal. Elijah wants Elena to stay put and stop trying to get herself killed and he will protect her family. That is until Elijah is ready for her to go with him to lure Klaus out so he can kill him. Elena agrees on one condition. Elijah has to release Stefan from the tomb.

   So as I mentioned before Bonnie was on moonstone duty. She recruits her new warlock friend (and crush) Luka to help her remove the spell from the moonstone. So they go on top of a rooftop and light candles (which is kind of romantic) then they start chanting and the moonstone rises from Bonnie’s hands and bursts into sparks. Then it shows Luka going home to where his father is waiting for him where he reluctantly give him the moonstone and is informed he is needed for one more task.

   So the episode ends with Stefan being released from the tomb (at this point I was bouncing with joy). Katherine begs Stefan to not let her stay in there. Then Elijah compels her to stay in the tomb until Klaus finds her. Stefan returns to Elena and they end up making out on her bed. (By this point all the Stelena fans were like awe!!! I know I was.) All in all great mid-season finale can’t wait until Jan. 27, 2011!!!! Until then I’ll be watching next week’s marathon and season one so I don’t go crazy.

The Vampire Diaries

Ok so I have a confession... I am OBSESSED with The Vampire Diaries!!!! My best friend Danielle is to blame for this. One night I was at her house and she asked me if I wanted to watch it so I was like sure. Well I watched the first episode of season one and I was hooked. That whole weekend we stayed up until two or three in the morning watching all of season one trying to get caught up before season two aired. Well we finally finished season one right before season two came on and we were so excited. Well season two aired and did not disappoint. I swear this show gets better with each new episode. I mean who doesnt love the fact that it has two hot vampire brothers who have an evil slutty ex vampire girlfriend who you kind of end up feeling sorry for then hate her for trying to steal back one of the brothers from the girl he and his brother are in love with. Not to mention the fact this new girlfriend looks like and is a descendent of the crazy ex vampire girlfriend.. Ok so the two hot vampire brothers are Stefan and Damon Salvatore, the evil ex vampire girlfriend is Katerina Petrova(aka \Katherine Pierce), and the new girld firend is Elena Gilbert. This show also features a witch as Elenas bestfriend and a classmate who is a werewolf oh and another bestfriend who gets turned into a vampire. This show is awesome crazy and I love it!!!!! More on it later though!!!!
