Vampire Diaires 5x02 "True Lies"

After Elena and Caroline starting college as "normal" students did turn out with a dead roommate, Stefan still trapped in a safe on the bottom of a waterfall, Matt being possesed by who knows what, Bonnie being dead and only talking to Jeremy who gets into fights at school, Kathreine being misrable as a human, weird witchy people running around in Mystic Falls and Silas compelling the whole town square to find "a girl that looks just like Elena Gilbert" one could may think things can´t get any weirder! Well, they can!!

The most surprising, unexpected (me freaking out) thing that happened in 5x02 "True Lies" was that we got a glimpse of a place no one, well no one living anyways, went before: "The other side". Silas "kills" Matt, not knowing that he´s wearing his ring, that will bring him back to live. On the other side his friend Bonnie is waiting for him and explaining to him what happened to his body and that he needs to find his way back to it. Also she tells him, that only people/ supernatural creatures from the other side can see him, thats when he realizes, that something isn´t right with Bonnie. In a very emotional scene Bonnie explains what happened to her and that she´s dead, had to see how her father died and that she misses all her friends. We knew from Alaric, that everytime he "died" with the ring on his finger, that he went to the other side for a while, but to actually see it was kind of weird. But I think it was nececary because that girl really needed a hug after all she had been trough. A hug, that she could actually FEEL

By the way: Great job by both Kat Graham and Zach Roerig! With this scene in mind it was even more heartbreaking to see Bonnie standing there all alone, when Matt woke up.

Ok, what went on at Whitemore College while Matt died? Only the most understated joke ever: After Elena´s and Caroline´s ex-roommates (yes people her life was so short, I already forgot her name;) )death the campus is still in shock an mourning. Caroline thinks, that "College students are SO dramatic.". Really, CAROLINE of all people thinks that? I was lying on the floor laughing my soul out when I heard her say that. The number one drama queen is jealous of all the attention a dead student gets;) Sarcasm, nice to see you back on tv :)

In the meantime lucky Elena gets a visit from both Salvatore brother...or just from 1 1/2?! As she´s on the phone with her boyfriend Damon she walks right into: STEFAN! Damon tries to tell her that it´s not his brother, but she already hung up the phone. After hanging out with her ex, aka. Silas for a while Damon arrives and has a chat with his "brother". They argue about a few things like, how Silas does not undestand, how Elena can be with him instead of his shadowself and the best line of the episode airs:

So thinking he won this argument Damon keeps on looking for Elena. When he finds her he tries to apologize, but she just shoves him into a chair and starts making out with him. I know at this point a lo of  Delena fans are liking what they see veeery much, but hold on to your little fan hearts, because all of this 50 shades of TVD was just a trick to tie Damon to the chair and make him week. Elena grabs a bottle of vervain filled water and forces it down her boyfriends throat. Boy, this girl is angry was my very first thought, but then she tells Damon that Silas told her to first weaken and then kill him, it´s pretty clear she´s compelled. So when a few seconds later the two find out that the compulsion only sets in, when she feels rage, Damon tells her to think about something else. Every normal person would try to think of cute animals, flowers or unicorns, but not Elena, she decides the best thing to think about now is.......PAIN! So she picks up a metal pole and drives it trough her leg. Ouch! This works for what felt 3 seconds and then the rage is back. So what does selfless Damon do?! He tells her to talk about the "dreams" she´s having about Stefan all summer long (of course Caroline told him!!). And while she talks about how she has this weird feeling, that he needs their help and that he´s trapped somewhere, suffering, the rage disappears. Poor Damon, it´s back to looking for the lost brother!! At the end of the episode they actually find the safe and when they open it, there is a dead body in it. Okay, okay of course it´s not Stefan guys, but it looks like after starving for almost 3 months, he is huuungry. That can only mean one thing: The Ripper (my fingers are twitching to write "Ripppahhhhh") is back! Yes I love Stefan as the monster we all know he is. Let´s see if Elena can bring him back this time, again;)

Speaking of college life and hot people running around looking for answers: We finally meet Dr. Wes Mexfield.

And, oh the girls are right! He seems to know one or two things about witches and vamps and he knew Elenas dad. I haven´t made up my mind about him yet.....maybe he´s the new Alaric or the new guy who will cause a lot of trouble.Lets wait and see.


Remember hot flyer guy Jesse....I knew him and Caroline would hit it offfff. At the end of the episode those two have a cute scene together. After angry Damon knocked him out Caroline is nursing the hot new mysterious guy from college and she learns, that there is a rumor that there is kind of a secret society that meets once a month or so a Whitmore house and that Dr. Maxfield seems to be one of them. Really?! A secret society?? I don´t know about that crap!! Anyways back to the hot scene: Jesse puts a strand of hair behind Carolines ear and looks her in the eyes.....my mind was already cheering for a kiss for (almost/maybe) single Caroline, when she suddelny says: "I have a boyfriend." Daaaaaaammmn Car!! But Jesse doesn´t seem to be that bummed and he tells her that it´s okay to still believe that things between her and Taylor will work out. Well I only believe it if I can see it!!

Back to the woods people: After Kathreine tries to run numerous times from Matt and Jeremie she finaly kind of gives up and realizes, that she´s the object that everybody wants (Silas, Damon, Matt and Jeremie):

She´s soooo right! As you can see in the gif, she is not really doing better as a human then she did last week. Poor girl thinks she´s dying because she can´t handle a few light flue like symptomps....yeah it´s actually really weird to see Kathreine moaning all the time. Girl, you are a human now...stop complaining!

So that´s basically what happened this week....I can´t wait to see Rippahhhh Stefan back in action next week. And Nadia, the gipsy...what is she up to and why does Silas like what she´s doing??
Hopefully we will get some answers next week and see some more of that hot Caroline - Jesse chemistry:)

What where your highlights? Did I forget anything?

Lets talk tv!
