Twist. Turn. Twist. Turn. I think it’s safe to say, that last nights episode of The Vampire Diaries left our heads spinning and our fingers clutching our Damon pillows. Wouldn’t you agree? This crazy, fast paced episode had us scratching our heads, wondering ‘What the hell just happened?’ It was a night that sated our need for action and excitement – closing the book on some storylines – but also established a few more. It wouldn’t be a mid-season finale if it didn’t. What? Yes, it’s true. Though the month without our darling Salvatore brothers will be difficult to endure, we shall prevail. We shall be patient. We shall watch numerous TVD fanvid’s to get our fix. Right? I hope so. Now, turn that frown upside down. We have an episode to recap. Let’s see what our friends in Mystic Falls were up to this week. You know the drill. This is a SPOILER ALERT!

Today on One Hybrid to Kill, Stefan begins to follow through on his orders from Michael. The humanity free vampire calls the unsuspecting hybrid to tell him the bad news. His father’s dead. Or is he?

Flashback! In order to lure Klaus back to Mystic, the team create an elaborate ruse. After developing a fabricated lie as to how Elena killed Michael (He threatened her, she stabbed him with one of those special daggers. You get the gist), Stefan details what exactly they have to do to take the hybrid overlord down. Klaus being, Klaus, he is going to want proof that his Step-Daddy is actually six feet under, or in this case, in a petrified state of un-dead. With Stefan’s ‘I have to do everything Klaus tells me’ situation, they team have to make sure this doesn’t become a problem. So, Michael offers his help. There is no way Klaus can see through their plan if Michael actually dies. Say, what? Yes, the Original Vamp takes one for the team when Elena actually stabs Michael with the dagger. Stefan witnesses the act. They have found a way around Stefan’s compulsion.

For the first time this season, we were allowed to sit back, stow our throwing chairs in the overhead compartment, and just let the drama seep in and ruminate. It was a night full of back story; a night full of flashbacks; a night full of emerging plot twists. All in all, it was a good episode. Though scoring low on the WTF? scale, Ordinary People gave us some long-awaited insight on the Original Vampire Family. We finally know the identity of the family’s patriarch (Was that really a surprise?), the identity of the Original Witch (That was most-definitely a surprise), and we finally know the true origin of TVD vampires. Last night, our favorite characters delved deeper into the roots of Mystic Falls and there is no turning back now. With these new revelations, the plot thickens. So grab your Damon blanket and matching pillow, pop some popcorn, and get ready. This is a SPOILER ALERT!

This week, we once again find ourselves searching the corridors of the Lockwood caves. Alaric brings his young ward (Elena) to see the unusual happening beneath the soil of Mystic Falls. BOO! What the hell, Damon? Our vampire friend is back to his normal self, trying to help Alaric and Elena decipher the ancient (a.k.a. “really, really old”) story carved on the stone walls. Hybrid. Werewolf. Witch. Vampire. All the makings for “The Lockwood Diaries: Pictionary Style.” Thanks, Damon. While that is all fine and dandy, Alaric points out the most unusual part of all this. Names. No, not just any names; names of the original family. Niklaus. Elijah. Rebecca (Yes, I know your name is spelled different. Just go with it). Michael. Michael? Oh, yes. Meet “Papa Original.” What?
