TVD Season 1 Episode 9
GET READY FOR AN EPIC JOURNEY
Synopsis:
Jeremy thinks there is something strange about his new history teacher, and his concern increases when Jenna seems to be falling for the newcomer. Meanwhile, Bonnie has disturbing dreams about her ancestor Emily which begin to spill over into real life. Also, when Damon finally reveals his reason for returning to Mystic Falls, Stefan is afraid of what might befall the current inhabitants of the town.
Jeremy gets a break from the mysterious new history teacher, Alaric Saltzman (Matt Davis - Blue Crush). Damon reveals to Stefan the stunning reason he returned to Mystic Falls.
Thoughts:
This dream sequence freaked me out, it was our first introduction to how intense magic really can be
I can’t imagine being Bonnie and continuing to wake up in the middle of the graveyard
Omg Alaric! I always forget we get introduced to him this early. It almost feels like season 1 is 2 different seasons. We have the first half of introduction, ending with the tomb vamps getting out. And then the 2nd half dealing with the tomb vamps.
When Elena hears Civil War days - why doesn’t she ask Stefan if he knows?
Alaric is already a better teacher than Coach Turner ever was
The family ring thing. Wow, we really are supposed to think he is a vampire
Stefan is such a drama queen in this episode. How is no one going to call out the fact that Stefan stopped going to school
“Little witch” so he clearly knows. He even told her he knows about Emily, so weird. How has Bonnie not put together that damon might not be human yet? I forgot before that Stefan had figured out that she was a witch when she mentioned her family and salem.
I’ve missed Jenna
I am so glad that Elena finally went to Stefan!! Does Stefan put it together that Damon is trying to get Katherine back
This trio is toxic before caroline became a vampire
Does this count as Caroline finding out the supernatural exists?
I like seeing Damon and Stefan as brothers a bit, before they actually forgive each other and their bond becomes the most important thing
Ooo finding out more about their last nights as human and more about Katherine! Damon finding out that he didn’t know everything about that night after all these years crushing him, how did he not know?
And THERE it is!
Our first possession
How do you not get over a girl after 150 years. Its honestly sad. Especially knowing Katherine has been out this entire time and never reached out
Wow, the writers really want us to think that Alaric is a vampire
But love how the diary coincides with stefan and damon becoming vampires
Oh bonnie! The start of her almost dying
Damon’s look of regret…
Going from supernatural dram to regular teen drama feels like whiplash. But I love this coupling, Caroline and Matt needed each other at this point
My heart hurts for Elena - stefan really thinks that too much has happened already??
Sad Damon is a scary Damon
Logan coming back was SUCH a plot twist!!
Supernatural Flags:
Caroline - 1 (Bonnie getting possessed) I am counting this because she left convinced it was fake
Do we see them in school:
Yes, Caroline, Matt, Elena, Bonnie
