Finally my favorite undead brothers are back and the identity of the guy in the road is revealed. Elena was left hanging literally upside down all this time. I think I'd be all dizzy by this point or I'd have tried to get my ass out of the car. So the mystery vamp leaves and Damon arrives so there was about a second of wondering if it was Damon but I tossed that thought out because it would have been weird for him to change jackets. He gets her out of the car and she wakes up in his car. Uh Damon you can take me across the state line anytime. What like you weren't thinking the same thing?Luckily she wasn't hurt just a little cut on her head. Wow Damon actually behaved himself and was actually sweet. When he tells her that they're in Atlanta she doesn't believe him and wants him to pull over which he does and when she gets dizzy he rushes over so she doesn't keel over. Meanwhile back in Mystic Falls poor Stefan is frantic especially since Elena doesn't have the magic necklace. Don't ever take off the jewelry you get from the hot undead guy. He calls and Elena's too pissed to talk to him because of the Katherine thing so I can't blame her although if she was thinking she could have said Damon took her to Atlanta but what would have been the fun in that?Well that's the answer to that question because Alaric was searching for his ring since he took it off to work out. It was daylight so he isn't a vampire. It does look like Stefan and Damon's so I wondered about that along with him waiting to be invited in. So it wasn't such a weird leap to jump to. They show his wife and he mentions that there's evil in Mystic Falls. Okay I guess that's true and he remembers that it was Damon that killed his wife or rather turned her. I wonder if he knows that she's alive. Is anyone else thinking about Gunn when he came face to face with his sister after she was turned?Jeremy goes to the library where he meets this girl Anna. So she's from another Founder's family since she mentioned journals too. It is nice to see him out with someone and I kind of like her. She does bring up vampires but Jeremy doesn't remember all that so he just doesn't buy it and calls it folklore. How long is this assignment of his going to last? I know I never put that much effort in any of mine. I wonder what her last name is and had a thought that she might turn out to be a Pierce. He ended up telling her that he was getting over someone so they're just keeping it friendly. She's being home schooled and I have to wonder why. Hey I do a lot of wondering.Stefan finds Bonnie hoping that he can have her use her witchy powers to see if Elena was okay. She's still a bit freaked over finding out that vampires are real. Well that is a lot to take in and there was the whole being possessed by creepy Emily and then getting snacked on by Damon only to be fed blood by Stefan which saved her. She tries to do it but she can't. She doesn't know what's wrong so she ends up back at Grams to find out what the problem is. The whole thing in the woods has her blocked so Grams has her return to the scene of the crime so to speak.Bonnie goes to the woods to try to get her mojo working again. Of course being in the woods there's the spook factor already since they can be a spooky place. You never know what might be roaming around in them. She feels like she's being watched and unless I've gone crazy which is entirely possible I think there was someone watching her since that looked like a head at a distance but it was kind of blurry so it could have been something else. Suddenly the ground opens up beneath her and she falls into this underground chamber and there's an upside down pentagram. She can hear something going on behind that wall which is where all the trapped vampires are.Stefan goes to see Shelia AKA Grams and gives her his hand so she knows who and what he is. She tells him about Bonnie and he goes to find her. She must have been there for a while since it's dark by the time he gets there. He jumps down and tells her to close her eyes and jumps out of the hole. Can I be next Stefan? Shut up you know you were thinking the same thing. He takes her back to Grams and she wants to talk to him. Hello it turns out that they knew each other when she was younger. Am I the only one that wondered if these two ever had a thing? I know I'd be all over him if the chance came my way. Admit it you would too.Oh Damon you do hang out at a bar. He goes to one and there's Bree a familiar face and it was nice to see Gina on. That last couple times I've seen her were on Bones and Pushing Daisies since she was Emerson's baby mama. She called him Honey Pie which was amusing and these two definitely had a thing twenty years ago. She's a witch and Damon wanted to know if there was another way into the tomb. She made a phone call so I knew she was up to something.Jenna called Elena and there was some lying. There was also some drinking and pool playing going on. It turns out that Damon likes pickles. So this type of vamp can eat like anyone else just as long as he keeps drinking the blood. And booze helps reduce the craving for blood. She goes outside to talk to Jenna and I think she might have given Lois some competition when it came to being drunk. She ends up getting grabbed and finally Damon notices that she's gone. He goes outside and this is one of those times when that sniffer really helps out although it is creepy if you think about it at any other time.The other vamp shows up and Elena's fine. She was just being used as bait. I don't think the guy had a name at least not that I can think of but he's Lexie's boyfriend and he's pissed that Damon killed her. It is even possible that he might have seen it or heard someone talking about it. So he pours gas on him and I'm thinking no I don't want him on fire but at the same time I'm wondering about the ring. It protects against the daylight so it is really all that crazy to think it could protect against fire. Sure it is probably unlikely since it isn't the Gem of Amarra but that protected against the daylight along with the other ways to kill a vamp as long as you were wearing the ring so that is a possibility.Now of course I was wondering if Damon would use compulsion on Elena but I don't think he did. He shows a different side to Elena that Stefan doesn't get to see since he hates Stefan which doesn't really make any sense because he knows that Katherine used compulsion on Stefan while Damon supposedly wasn't compulsed. She convinces the guy to not kill Damon because he's better than Damon and she mentioned that Lexie was a good person too. I totally think that Lexie and Elena could have become friends or does that sound crazy. I really liked her so I hated that she ended up staked although there's always the chance of flashbacks after all they knew each other for a long time. Jumping naked into the fountain sticks in my head for some reason. No idea why. Nope not a clue about why.So the guy doesn't kill Damon and he tells Elena that he didn't do it for her. The poor guy I feel for him. Damon goes inside since he's no dummy and Bree tells him that she's full of vervain thinking that would stop him from killing her. I do have to wonder why she didn't use magic on him before he ripped her heart out. Once again she gets something ripped out. Damon takes Elena home and she goes to see Damon because she wants to know about Katherine. It looks like Damon doesn't know what Stefan does about the whole resemblance thing. I did wonder why they looked alike but in the books it was never addressed.Elena goes to Stefan and no there was no crying at all. Nope that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hello to the mind getting blown again since hello I so didn't expect that to happen. Of course Elena wanted to know why she looked like Katherine and I'm sure everyone did. It turns out that before they met where Elena had just stepped out of the men's room wasn't the first time they'd seen each other. Yeah just like Angel saw Buffy first in LA Stefan first saw Elena on Wickery Bridge. He was out hunting squirrels or something in the woods when he heard the crash.The car was already in the water and her father wanted Stefan to get Elena out first. And no I wasn't crying not at all. He was able to get her out but he wasn't in time to save her parents. As for the resemblance he did some checking and it turns out that Elena is adopted and that she's really a Pierce as in Katherine Pierce so they are related. It does make me wonder if there are any human Pierces in Mystic Falls. And he told her that she was nothing like Katherine and no I wasn't tearing up not at all.
