The Vampire Diaries - "Handle with care" (5x06)

Okay after a very busy week here it goes, sorry if I kept you waiting!

This Vampire Diaries episode was a very Paul Wesley and Nina Dobrev centered episode....you will know what I mean in a minute ;)

So "Handle with care" starts of with Kathreine sitting in a diner and receiving her order.....and that girl is hungry!! Apparently she couldn´t wait to live her new human life to the fullest, thank god Silas wasn´t able to kill her, otherwise she would have missed out on all that glory that is in front of her right now :) But don´t start cheering for a changed Kathreine Pierce just yet....it turns out her second chance comes with some....well let´s call it complications for now.
Okay now that we know what Kat is up to let´s see what her Doppelganger is doing: Well she´s doing what every woman would do....cuddling on the couch with her super hot boyfriend. Loved this scene, it felt so right!! Her and Damon talk about their plan to bring Bonnie back to life and how this day in particular is a very good one and can´t be ruined by anyone.....well as you can imagine it´s not that simple. The two are interrupted in their super cute couple time by a very good-humoured Silas, who bursts into the living room ("Hello frenemies." Ha! Loved this line). You ask why this evil 2000 something year old creature is so happy? Well, for once, he´s a witch again, and he loves it.....and secondly, well I let Silas talk, because there is no better way to say it: "I finally get to die."
Okay let´s take a look at another Doppelganger, wow this really is confusing: Stefan wakes up with a tequila hangover and Quetsia aka Tessa doesn´t really help, when she tries to explain to him, that Silas is looking for an anker. An anker?! Apparently it´s an object, that Tessa used to bind to the spell when she created the other side. If her ex-hubby is able to destroy the anker, he´ll be able to destroy the other side. What an awesome story to tell someone with a massive hangover AND amnesia :)
In the meantime Silas explains the anker thing to Damon and Elena. Ms. Gilbert is getting nervous, because she sees the plan to bring her best friend back from the dead in danger.

All of the sudden she´s questioning Silas´s intentions....why in the world would he just help her without getting something in return?! After all, he is pure evil. Silas can´t really understand, what the problem is and even offers her to pinky-swear ;) (Oh boy, he really is in a good mood, so funny to watch!!)
Okay, now that everyone knows, that they need to find that anker and destroy it, they need to find it....apparently it´s in a storage-unit in New Jersey. And here it comes, the best line of the episode....hold on to your seats ladies and gentleman.....you ready?!

A classic Damon line, loved it!! But into sarcastic Damon comes a very angry Jeremy....armed with a crossbow. He´s not very happy to see Silas, and it doesn´t help, that he´s teasing him with his love for Bonnie. Elena and Damon try to explain to Jer, that their enemy is, for once, on their side and that he will help them to bring Bonnie back. Damon tells Jeremy to put the crossbow down ("Put the damn crossbow down Pocahontas!"). Silas doesn´t want to waste any more time just talking about ankers and dying and wants to leave.....but not before stating again, that he just loves being a witch again. "I´m like a supernatural Madonna!" (him explaining that after being a witch again he feels like he´s constantly reinventing himself). So, everyone wants to leave and find the anker thing, including Elena, but Sila´s does not want her to come....Damon can´t understand, why his girlfriend (oh gosh, I just love to write that ;) )can´t come and Silas replies: "You would understand, if you would have ever been in love with someone that looked exactly like her.". Damons face after that comment is just priceless!
Oki doki, let´s head back to the cozy cabin and back to Stefan and Tessa. The evil traveler witch just can´t wait to kill her former lover and she seems to have a plan. It´s just too bad, that this plan has to wait until sundown, because apparently Silas has cast a spell on the cabin and everyone who is inside can´t leave it. Just keep that in  mind people, we´ll need it later;)
In the meantime Jer, Damon and happy-go-lucky Silas are on a road trip to NJ.

Speaking of road trip.....I wonder what Caroline is up to after her break up with Tyler (I can not stress enough how happy I am, that those two are over. The way that the werewolf treated his vampire girlfriend was just horrible!! Caroline deserves much better.). Well, after recognizing Kathreine, who by the way just colored her grey hair, the two try to figure out what Mr. Maxfield is up to, because he somehow found out that Elena and Caroline are vampires. We see the professor analysing some vampire blood, that seems kind of odd. In the next shot he talks to Car and a second later Kathreine pops up behind him and injects hm something.....and he´s out!
Speaking of Elena, what is she doing all alone? Of course she want to know, where Stefan is and calls him. It´s just too bad, that Tessa is the one answering the phone. She tells Stefans ex where they are and a few things, that serve only one purpose: Make Elena jealous. And it works....so surprise here;) Elena appears at the cabin and Tessa happily invites her in....remember when I told you, you should keep in mind the whole locked in the cabin spell thing.....well now you know why;) Because with Elena in the cabin it means her, Stefan and evil Tessa are stuck in the cabin.....awkward!!
At Whitmore College it´s time for Kathreine to convince the secret society people, that she´s (aka Elena) not a vampire, good thing Kat isn´t one anymore, right?!;) So she walks into the Whitmore party and goes straight for the catering! In her food rage she is interupted by Erin...who flirts her up, thinking he´s talking to Elena of course. The conversation is cut short, when Kat looses one of her teeth, while chewing on a sandwich.....what in the wold is going on???!!!
Back to Snookies backyard;) After entering the storage unit Damon and Jeremy find out, that Silas has no idea, what the anker looks like, so they have to search the entire room until they find it. While everyone is looking for that thing, Bonnie pops up and has a beautiful conversation her boyfriend. She´s worried, that Silas may not be able to help.....Jeremy gently touches her face and tells her: "Before today is over, we will know, what this feels like!" Awwww, this was such a cute scene <3
A few feed away Damon gets a call from Tessa, and she is PISSED! She tells Damon, that she needs him to kill Silas, so that he can´t find the anker, otherwise, she´ll kill Elena. Poor Damon:( You all realize, what this means, right? If they prevent Silas from finding the anker, they will not be able to have Bonnie back! And in an heartbreaking Bonnie and Jeremy scene outside the storage unit, the couple has to accept, that they will not be able to bring Bonnie back.
What´s the status on professor Maxfield? Well, after Caroline drained his blood from vervain, she compells him to tell her all about the secret society: It´s called "Augustine" and not everyone can be part of it. Most of the members come from legacies or have special talents. Also we learn, that Elena and Carolines roommate was not killed by any vampire, but by the Augustine vampire.....yeah, they are not just super secret and super creepy, they also have their very own vampire!! But before the professor can tell her, who the vampire is, the host of the Whitmore party interrupts them.
We haven´t been in the cabin for a while right....so let´s see how the awkward group is doing. Well, Stefan and Tessa started cooking and Elena is sitting on the floor, pouting. When Tessa is calling Damon, Stefan tells Elena, that he doesn´t hate her and that he´ll help her. So after sundown, he knocks Tessa down and tells his ex to run. Let´s go back a few seconds and see, what Tessa told Damon on the phone: She told him, that the travelers want Silas, so that she can give his blood, that is now the cure, to the anker. And this is when we realize, that the anker is not a thing, but a person. A person, that Silas will not be able to kill......"2000 years old, immortal, indestructible...". Holy macaroni......it´s: AMARA!!!



Yes people, Tessa aka Quetsia did not kill her.....and the minute Damon realizes it, Silas finds his true love. He feeds her some dead travelers blood and brings her back to life. After "waking up" the third Doppelganger (is it now called a Trippleganger?! I´m confused...) she has a hard time recognizing her former flame. But when she finally does and when she realises, that Silas´blood now is the cure....she cuts him with broken glass and drinks his blood. And then she comes out....crazy, confused Amara:

This is all very, very strange!
Speaking of strange...what´s Mr. Maxfield up to? Well it turns out he has a little chat with Kathreine.....after finding out, that the subject of the professors testing is the Augustine vampire, Ms. Pierce needs the profs help. "I think I´m dying and I need your help!". I don´t know about you guys, but I kind of like Kat as a human.....so I would hate to see her die!
Stefan and Elena come back from their really weird cabin meeting and Stef goes off to bed. Damons sound bite is so sarcastic: "Stefan Salvatore sleeps in his own bed tonight." After that side blow he brings his girlfriend up to speed: Silas seems to be M.I.A. so he´s not dead, right? And they have a new problem: Amara is way easier to kill than Silas now that she´s human and because they still want to bring back Bonnie, they all need to protect her. After Elena asks him, why he said "we need to protect her", he introduces her to Amara:

If this is not cray cray enough for you you should see what angry Tessa does to Stefan. We all remember, that she fried Silas´ brain and in doing so apparently also Stefan´s. Now that she´s so pissed she does the most evil thing you can imagine: She brings back his memories....but only the bad ones....Like how he killed his own father, how his own brother forced him to become a vampire, how he was suffering for years before he met Elena, who fell in love with Damon; and last but not least, how his Doppelganger stuffed him into a safe where he drowned over and over and over again. And while this was happening he was hoping, that Elena and Damon would come and look for him, but they never came......Wow, Tessa is a real b***, poor Stefan!!
I can not wait to see what´s coming up next......how will those horrible memories affect their relationship? What do you guys think what will happen?

Here is a promo for next weeks episode:
