Because let’s face it, no coven has come after Stefan. I mean, seriously Enzo, we already have one vampire with parental issues and an accent – and he’s in New Orleans.īut one thing that became clear? Maybe Lilly wasn’t imprisoned just because she was a Ripper. But then he was sad and lonely, and she abandoned him. Was it weird that even though we get his origin story, Lilly is the star? She sired him – which, great. A reason that usually ended up being love.Īnd lastly, we have Enzo. I could see the season one Damon who did selfish things, but for a reason. Related Legends of Tomorrow Review: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Scientist (Season 7 Episode 5)Īs he refrained from telling her the truth, I could see it. The time Delena has been together isn’t even equivalent to the blink of an eye for a vampire. His love and passion for Elena isn’t something small, and I completely understand how scared and nervous he is at the thought of losing her. What does seem authentic, though, is Damon’s reaction to even having the cure. A small build up would have been nice and could have made this story arc a lot more believable and authentic, because this episode just does a complete 180 on Elena’s perspective. She becomes visibly jealous of any mention of human-like experiences, and you can see her try to wish her vampirism away.

Okay, now that we know Nina Dobrev is leaving, I figured about a week and a half ago that they’d probably make her human again with the cure. But maybe this speech about how ‘all vampires are just a switch away from being monsters’ is necessary, because it brings up pent up feelings about being human for Elena. I rolled my eyes at this, because I honestly thought Matt had gotten over his vampire hate and phobia.

Tyler brings Matt to the hospital, and Matt refuses Elena’s blood. Related Legends of Tomorrow Review: A Woman's Place is in the War Effort! Lilly gives a beautiful speech to Stefan – one authored solely by Damon, and I can’t help but ask: why isn’t Damon Stefan’s humanity trigger? This show has proven again and again the bond between these two brothers why couldn’t Damon have given a speech to Stefan? I really want our Care back now, especially after she stabs Stefan in the back (literally). Evil!Ĭaroline is fun for maybe about five seconds. When he convinces her to act the part of Stefan’s mother, they see Care playing her humanity-off games with none other than Matt and Tyler, ending with Matt being staked in the stomach – again. Because really, can any Salvatore be anything but dramatic? She confesses to Damon that she doesn’t really know if she can help flip Stefan’s humanity back, because – wait for it – she has fallen out of love with her real family.Īs I watched Damon’s heart break, I remembered meeting Season 1 Damon in the pilot, yearning for Katherine, and wondered if maybe, Lilly was the reason he was so… broken and confused and hateful. On the forefront of the episode is Mama Salvatore and her drama. Maybe it’s all the talk about ex-boyfriends and pregnancies. This week’s episode, “I Could Never Love Like That,” gives us a bit of nostalgia. Remember when Caroline was completely superficial, and Elena’s biggest problem was that her boyfriend may or may not have confirmed the existence of supernatural creatures?
