“Shock and Aw” is one way to describe last nights all new episode of The Vampire Diaries. The follow-up to one of the most exciting episodes of the series did not disappoint. In fact, it delivered a heaping plateful of surprise flavored awesomeness. Of course, the night wouldn’t be complete if there wasn’t a moment that totally knocked us out of out seats and maybe had us clutching onto our super-sized Damon throw blankets (Oh, Matt!). I actually believe we hit that point a couple of times within the hour. On the other hand, there were moments that made us shed a few happy tears. Those sweet acts of love made us clap for our favorite couples Caroline & Matt (Do we have a cute combined name for them yet?) and Jeremy and Bonnie (Beremy!). It was a great episode, don’t you think? So for all of those who have seen last nights episode, Damon and Stefan will escort you onwards and downwards (We’re trying to teach them how to properly take care of their humans). The rest of you will have to wait at The Grill, because this is a SPOILER ALERT! P.S. Don’t let Doctor Martin catch you.

The Salvatore Mansion. Figuring on how many times we actually visit here, I think we can just call it The Mansion. Elena is trying to make it to school (Yes, they actually remembered that they do go to school) on-time, after her sleepover with Stefan. Though, I highly doubt any actual sleeping was going on. Flirty Stefan makes an appearance and convinces Elena (With his tongue) that staying in a few more minutes wouldn’t hurt. Meanwhile downstairs, Damon takes a sip from his glass and politely speaks a “good morning” to Elena. Wait a minute . . . something isn’t right. Can you sense it, Damon? He can, because he sends “Elena” flying into a wall. He thinks it’s Katherine. Only, she’s making a pretty good case that she is indeed the human that was attempting to pry herself out of Stefan’s arms a second ago. Enter Stefan. He see’s Damon about to neck crunch “Elena” and put’s two and two together. Could it be Katherine upstairs? Let’s see, shall we? With vampire speed, Stefan Salvatore replicates Damon’s stance with “Elena.” Wait. Hold on. All this weird doppelgänger stuff is confusing me. We need to sort this out.

Oh, Vampire Diaries. You never fail to surprise me. Not only did last nights all new episode fill its required quota of WTF? moments, it actually exceeded it. So tell me, how did you do it? How did you manage to fill such a short time with so many moments of utter surprise and shock? Yeah, I don’t know either. What I do know, is that this episode has to be one of my all time favorites. Seriously, it is. We all have to agree, after last weeks ‘just okay’ episode, it felt good – like Damon in your bed good – to see you return in all your vamptastic glory. Just the last couple of minutes with Damon and the shower was enough . . . Oh, sorry. I think I’ve said too much. Why don’t we recap and review this fantastic episode. For those of you who have received your invitations, onwards and downwards. The rest of you need to wait in the parlor, this is a SPOILER ALERT!

We arrive back at the lake house the morning after Brady’s unsuccessful assassination attempt. Elena sits reading the newly found addition to the Johnathan Gilbert journals.

Flashback: Mystic Falls. The town vampires have all been destroyed in the church fire . . . or so he thought. After hearing a noise in the distance, Johnathan Gilbert exits his mansion to see what happened to his curious dinner guest. Trying to prove to his guest that no vampire had set foot near the Gilbert Mansion, Johnathan pulls out his compass (See season 1). There is silence, until the needle starts to spin frantically. A vampire is near, and Johnathan’s guest is gone. One more victim later, Johnathan Gilbert is approached and bitten by the mysterious shadow of the night. Only, he knows who it is. It’s Stefan Salvatore (Gasp!).

Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby Goodbye)

Was the usual routine in-place last night? The increasing excitement and anticipation right when the hour began; the sigh of joy when you saw Damon; the anger that came when you found out what those werewolves were up-to; the small “Aw” that escaped your mouth when Stefan tried to be all sweet; the urge to throw your clicker and/or pillow at the television screen; the cheering that occurred when our new favorite hopefully soon-to-be couple kissed? Wait. Stop. That last one is not in the usual routine. Where did that come from? Who was doing the kissing? Caroline & Tyler? Jeremy & Bonnie? Well, there’s only one way to find out. For all those who have seen last nights super-fantastic episode, onwards and downwards. The rest of you know what to do. This is a SPOILER ALERT!

We begin with a little werewolf flambe, as Jules and her buddies are picking up after last nights run-in with the Mystic Falls Crew (Go team!). Enter neurotic wolf Stevie, who has some news for Brady and Jules. He explains that he had suspected something suspicious (Ooh! Check out my alliteration) when his boy Mason tried to hide his relationship with that vampire chick “Kathy” (Ha!). It’s only now that he realizes that, in fact, something suspicious had to do with the ‘Sun and the Moon curse.’ Brady vows that they can’t let them break the curse, “Even if we have to kill every last vampire in town.” Dun. Dun. Dun.
