The Vampire Diaries 1:7

The episode opens with Vicky attacking Tyler, and the Salvatore brothers manage to get there just in time to save him. I am confused by Damon’s participation, because he is all about Vicky drinking human blood so I totally don’t get why he helps Stephan stop her this time. And then glamour’s the memory away for Tyler. Who calls him dude, so Damon says “Dude? Come on! Dude?”
Elena goes to visit Stefan, who leaves her alone with Vicky. This just seems like a terribly bad idea, he keeps saying how Vicky is volatile right now, yet he leaves the girl he loves alone with her? Naturally, it doesn’t go well, but Vicky doesn’t kill her so I guess that’s something.
Vicky is also upset that she can’t go out in the daytime, I’m not sure why she didn’t think about this before she decided to transition, but whatever. Damon takes her outside and tells Stefan, “I’m not taking her to Disneyland, we’re going in the front yard.“ Cept Vicky uses her super speed to take off, ends up going home, and I think almost eating her brother. Basically, the whole episode is about what a mess she still is.
Damon spends some time with the mayor’s wife, talking about vampires and stuff, and we find out that although the council knows there are vampires in Mystic Falls, they don’t know who the vampires are. Which I find really bizarre because they also know Zack Salvatore, but don’t know his ancestors are vampires? It just seems weird. Mayor’s wife is also wearing a bracelet with vervane in it, so Damon learns they are trying to get more vervane from Zack to protect a bunch of people.
The school is having a Halloween party, which is pretty much where the entire town ends up, natch! We learn the crystal that Damon took from the box at the Founder’s Party actually originally belonged to Bonnie’s ancestors, and it burns Damon when he tries to take it from her. This crystal is possibly the most interesting thing on the show, aside from Damon himself.
So at the party, Vicky meets up with Jeremy, and kind of starts to feed on him cuz she bites his lip and he bleeds. She can’t control herself! Elena comes to save the day, but by this point Vicky is super mad and doesn’t really have feelings for Elena, so she essentially goes on this mini quest to kill her – Elena gets a wound in her side, and Vicky bites her shoulder. Stefan rushes in and stakes Vicky, fulfilling my dreams to get rid of her, cuz she was annoying.
All the while, Jeremy was watching and of course is freaked out, so Damon glamour’s him into thinking Vicky left town and isn’t coming back. Thus, the vampire secret is safe as Elena is the only one who knows. She also reveals she wishes she could forget it all, but she doesn’t want to lose the way she feels about Stefan, so chooses to keep all the knowledge.
Personally, Elena is starting to bug too, cuz I want some consistency. I either want to know that it’s been weeks since the end of the last episode, or that Elena has done more soul searching or whatever to determine she wants to be with Stefan after all.
I recently read that there will be a vampire slayer visiting Mystic Falls, so I am obviously curious about that. Maybe it will be Buffy!
