TVD Season 1 Episode 5
GET READY FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY
Synopsis:
Elena's relationship with Stefan is already going through a rocky patch when she discovers some shocking stories about his past. Damon grows weaker as his imprisonment continues, and he tries to use Caroline to escape. Elsewhere, Bonnie's special powers manifest themselves, leaving her scared and confused, and Logan uses Aunt Jenna to further his secret agenda.
Stefan is hopeful of his plan to get rid of Damon, and decides to reveal parts of his past to Elena. Bonnie seeks advice from her grandmother (Jasmine Guy - A Different World).
Thoughts:
Now that Caroline is free from Damon - she is getting added back into Supernatural Flags
Ooo starting with more lore! Introducing desication - love that we see this come up so much during the show
Idk how stefan is able to do this, okay maybe I do know. Years of damon making his life hell
They are teenagers - and jeremy isn’t in trouble for having a girl over?
I am glad elena isn’t giving stefan a pass for being weird
“I am not going to be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops spinning because of some guy” Oh elena, if you only knew. Love how jenna sees right through it
Oh, so stefan knows exactly how bad he is at lying
This interaction between Bonnie and Caroline..if they only knew
Caroline is definitely someone who doesn’t like to sit in her trauma and process it, she likes to move on and forget it happens
Sassy elena is my favorite
Oh hey, matt! Been a min since we saw him
Zach has been doing it for 16 years,, interesting. So he is aware of how dangerous vamps are but goes to see damon? Idiot. Now damon knows who grew the vervain
Matt wanting to be friends is sweet
“Like he is a serial killer” - if you only knew
I love that Elena is not giving him a pass for being so mysterious and making him own up to his actions
The fact that they really thought vamps would live in caves - they think they know so much but are so clueless
Jeremy can be such a good brother, I love how in only 5 episodes we have seen their sibling relationship heal so much
Stefan was so smart and good for doing this - he knew he was going to lose her and see, he was capable of talking about who he is without giving away the fact that he is a vampire
Jeremy is healing…not needing to be high and realizes that there is more to live for
This scene (stefan telling elena a bunch of random facts) reminds me of Nick Jonas singing Introducing Me in Camp Rock 2 - also, such an old soul
The garlic comment…does she suspect he is a vampire already or was that random
How does damon call out to caroline from far away? That isn’t supposed to be a power - oh the stupid crow
“As long as you keep lying to yourself about who you are” as much as damon is an ass in this season, he has a point
I thought Elena quit the cheer squad? Why is she helping? Or was this just a way to get more girls in bikinis on screen? But love the fact that she couldn’t get her shirt off
Poor Matt, having to see your move on sucks
Bonnie is starting to learn just how powerful she is and that grams may be right
Not sure if Stefan refusing to take off his ring is a supernatural flag, but elena is def suspicious
I feel bad for Candice, those shorts are so short!
Elena is definitely suspicious now - very close to stop counting her supernatural flags. But I won’t until Stefan tells her
Oh no, this is the start of the end for Vicki
As much as I hate Logan - the banter between him and Jenna is cute
Very resourceful Elena..
That freaking crow - I wish this had been explained cause it is so weird. Also, does Caroline remember any of this?
Lore update: vervain makes it so he can’t compel
So caroline ran away so does that mean she will remember everything?
Bonnie…how does no one notice that she caused it?
Stefan getting bonnie out of the trance, maybe she will trust him again?
Vicki isn’t wrong, Jer is already growing out of the drug phase of his grief. He didn’t have to call her friends those mean names. But vic should have also respected him and not taken his sisters pills - this is just one big toxic relationship. But it is also soooo good
Matt giving Stefan that warning was such a leap in his character development, he is really growing
Alright Eena, you can figure it out now! You are so close!
Oh ow! Caroline, that was not necessary! I know she is in pain and hates letting people see it though
And Stefan lost his uncle, someone who didn’t deserve this. Of course, he won’t really get to grieve
I love Elena’s diary entry for the end of the episode, being in such denial but already knowing the truth in the back of her mind
I never noticed the star that reflect on Caroline when she goes to sleep - I wonder why it is significant? Or just to show us there is a reason why damon wanted it, it is more than just a gem
GRAMS! Bonnie finally coming to terms with being a witch
Wow, so much is going on in the end of this episode! Logan getting caught sneaking around Jer’s room, stefan mourning zach, elena figuring out what stefan is, damon attacking vicki and her friends
