GET READY FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY
Synopsis:
After Elena demands that he explain the terrifying events that have been taking place in Mystic Falls, Stefan tells her the story of his past, including how he became a vampire. Meanwhile, Damon decides to take charge of Vicki's future, and in her fear she runs away. Elsewhere, Sheriff Forbes, Mayor Lockwood, Logan and the others put plans in place to protect the town.

Thoughts:
OUR FIRST FLASHBACK! I love this part of TVD, the flashbacks make me so happy
Wait, that is a different girl with Katherine than we see later who is a Bennett which
Stefan really is surprised she figured it out?
Elena will now be OFFICIALLY taken off of the Supernatural flags because she knows!
“Don’t be afraid of me” as you literally ran to cut her off
I love how she has such a normal reaction to this, the fear is valid
He really thought he could get away with it? Hide it? But I am glad he at least told her that he doesn’t drink human blood and that damon has been the one killing people
Damon is a classic narcissist, gaslighter
“You just don’t wanna die, do ya” is really going to come back to haunt them
Okay, I kinda feel bad for Stefan. All he wanted was a chance to know and love elena, live a human life. But Damon was right, he can’t keep denying who he is, what he is
Elena is brave, but having feelings for someone makes you want to at least hear them out
Lore: Garlic, Holy Water and Crucifixes do nothing (I could have sworn someone used holy water against vamps in one of these shows. Apparently i was wrong or mixing up shows)
Elena’s first worry being Caroline says so much. And her disbelief that someone she loves could stand back and watch it happen
Stefan allowing Elena to make her own choice is HUGE! That is going to be what wins her over I think
Omg Logan shut up
“No shell casing” so of course it must be a vampire - nothing else could kill them
I never understood why Damon kept Vicki alive
Bored Damon really is dangerous - ew
I wonder if the ruins of Stefans old home is actually somewhere or if it was set up by production
I am surprised it took Elena this long to ask how old Stefan is
Atlanta and Harvard both existed in 1864, nice
Who needs rules? - the famous words
The boys look so young in these flashbacks
Wait, Elena is wearing her iconic outfit in this episode!! I never noticed that before
Okay, i really love Katherine’s hairstyle
Finding out Damon fought for the confederates makes too much sense - i wonder how the show handled that
Wait, did katherine not sign it?
“I only knew that I wanted her” the doppelganger curse
Nina is so talented for playing both characters
The floorboard safe!
This dance montage is the funniest thing to me
Wait, the random mac computer is so weird.
Damon snapping Vicki’s neck is so jarring
Kayla Ewell talked about how it was really cool getting to be the first person to be turned into a vampire, getting to set the tone for what its like
Damon really set Vicki up to kill Jeremy - how many times does he try to kill Jeremy? Thats something I should count lol
Poor Jeremy.. He doesn’t deserve this
Stefan giving Elena the necklace is the best thing he could have done
Of course Stefan doesn’t play it off that he knows a lot about people being under the influence of drugs.
Why is Elena judging Stefan for making the choice to become a vampire?
I can’t believe none of them ask an adult to come help
Also, why is Logan the one searching for the vamp? Why have a civilian help? He has no knowledge of anything
Lore: Vamps have to be invited in
Damon saving stefan, he does have some compassion and its showing
“If anyone is gonna kill you its gonna be me” wait…my heart
You care more about the watch? Your friend is right there DEAD!
I don’t blame Elena for thinking she can’t be with Stefan because of this but its so heartbreaking. Especially because Stefan can hear her break down crying on the other side of the door
