The Vampire Diaries did not disappoint this week. The show is beginning to delve into the history of The Brothers Salvatore, their relationship to the town and the hotness that is Ian Somerhalder knows no bounds.

Awesome Twilight dig from Damon: “Edward is so whipped!”

So let’s sum it up:

Caroline (Candice Accola) is under Damon’s (Somerhalder) control for most of the episode. She knows he’s a vampire, he feeds on her blood and that he will kill her eventually and still keeps his secret. Stefan (Paul Wesley) is physically and mentally weaker than his evil brother because he does not feed on human blood and Damon takes advantage of this and invades his little bro’s dreams.

The town has a long standing tradition called The Founder’s Day party and the Salvatore family has history that is slowly being uncovered by Elena (Nina Dobrev.) Stefan tries to counter Damon’s mind manipulation and gives a vervain-enhanced locket to Elena so she can see through his wily attempts. Oh and the human uncle Zach has a secret stash of the plant growing. Damon tried to wipe out the anti-vampire plant vervain some time ago. Shhhh!

Elena’s family has a pocket watch that is coveted by the townspeople (who are aware that there are vampires in their midst) and the group wants it. Elena has handed it over to her brother who was sentimental about it belonging to their dead parents but a long lost love shows up to court their Aunt Jenna and get it back. Watch = Silver bullet/stake in the heart kinda protection perhaps?

Damon gets played by Stefan who spikes Caroline’s drink with vervain and when Damon drinks her blood, he ends up in spasms on the ground. Stephan and Zach throw Damon into the locked room with the strength sapping plant and think their problems are solved. Tricky!

After Damon’s influence is gone, Caroline starts to remember all the vile things Damon has done and is about to have a nervous breakdown in Elena’s arms.

Now it’s getting juicy!
