TVD Season 1 Episode 7
GET READY FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY
Synopsis:
Stefan tries to helps Vicki control her bloodlust as her actions become more dangerous, and Elena works to persuade Jeremy to keep away from her. Is Vicki starting to embrace her new thirst? Elsewhere, at a Halloween party, Damon is surprised by the strength of Bonnie's powers.
Thoughts:
Now why did you run to Tyler? Cmon Vik! But we do see a good, compassionate side to tyler. Too bad he won’t remember it
I love how even though Elena said she didn’t want to stay with Stefan, she still wears the necklace
Jeremy doesn’t deserve this pain.
I am genuinely pretty surprised how well Vicki is processing this.
Snatch, eat, erase - damon’s motto
I love grams so much - what would have happened if bonnie listened to her
I forgot how dumb it was that the mayor and his wife were talking so openly about vampires at the grill
I never noticed Caroline touching her forehead after bonnie says being bitter makes wrinkles.
“Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this” famous last words
“I didn’t have anyone helping me” - liar you had lexie
It is so interesting seeing how they teach their first vamp turn in the series compared to how they are able to do it better in the series
I feel so bad that Elena couldn’t tell Jeremy the real reason that she wanted him to stay away, that she did really want to protect him
Oh no, the dreaded dance curse begins!
Me just realizing that Damon is wearing the same outfit we see him in when he is the “serial killer” around NYC in a flashback
Damon flirting with Mrs. Lockwood - still creeps me out
Stefan is so odd in this episode - why doesn’t he lie to matt about being used to being around drugs and knowing how to help? That would explain his behavior. Right now he looks like a creep from Matt’s eyes. (hence why it isn’t a supernatural flag)
How does damon not figure out that bonnie is a bennett witch? He knew enough about elena’s life that caroline was who to target.
The fact that jeremy was willing to leave with her…
I can’t believe that stefan actually killed her
The start of Elena learning how to lie. The start of the end for her
Damon realized how shitty he was to Elena when she was crying over Vicki, that she isn’t used to this but he is. I am glad he redeemed himself a bit
I understand why Elena had Damon erase the memories. She saw the months of grief that Jeremy went through for their parents. And now, Jer was saying his only moments of feeling better were when he was with Vicki. Her dying may send him over the edge and she just wanted to protect him. I know he gets so upset later with her for doing it, but given the circumstances, I understand why she did it
Elena having mixed feelings but not knowing what to do..I feel so bad for her. None of this can be easy, especially doing it alone
Timeline:
1692- Bennett family relocated from Salem to Mystic Falls
Supernatural Flags:
There were some moments that were suspicious but I don’t think any counted as flags as they could easily be perceived as something else or they were erased from memories
Do we see them in school?
Yes, we see Matt, bonnie, tyler and caroline at school
