The Vampire Diaries 1:8

Stefan’s oldest friend Lexi shows up to celebrate his birthday! She’s a half vegetarian vampire, she gets human blood supplied to her by some guy she dated, but doesn’t feed from actual people. So Stefan is okay with her.
I think that the only reason Lexi really had a part in this episode was to provide a bit of reconciliation between Stefan and Elena. Which is of course unreconciled again at the end of the episode. Because what would possess these two to get along for more than five minutes anyway.
Lexi is not a fan of Damon, he accuses her of being mean to him, to which she says “Uh, have you met you?“ It’s pretty funny.
Damon continues to be sneaky with the townsfolk, getting close to the council of people who know about vampires and pretending to be a liaison between the council and Zack who is “out of town”, aka dead cuz Damon killed him. He brings some vervane to the sheriff, and I am curious as to why no one apparently seems to wonder why the Salvatore family are the only people in town that have vervane. Why didn’t Zack give some seeds or whatever to all the people on the council? And isn’t it suspicious that they’re the only ones with it? Whatevs.
As the viewers, we know that Elena looks just like Katherine, but I guess I forget that Elena herself doesn’t know this. So she meets Lexi, who is totally confused because she didn’t know they looked alike either. Lexi kind of gets mad at Stefan for this, saying he’s trying to link Elena to Katherine and stuff. I dunno why he doesn’t just tell Elena “Oh, btw, you look like Katherine, just fyi.” She’s gonna get mad when she finds out he never told her before, and Damon is probably the one who will tell her, and then she’s going to tell Stefan she can’t trust him again.
Also, Caroline tries to get the crystal back from Bonnie, but it shocks her like how it did Damon, and she says “Are you wearing polyester?“ If you had any doubts before, Caroline is totally the Cordelia Chase of this series. Cept not as funny. She also reminds me of Lisa Turtle.
Everyone in town goes to a party, again. Is this Sweet Valley on the east coast? These people are at parties every single episode I swear! Anyway, while the party is going on, Damon eats some dude and glamours his girlfriend into thinking it was Lexi – it’s all part of his plan to make the council and everyone think the vampire threat is contained.
The authorities burst into the party, girl identifies Lexi, they shoot her up with vervane. Cept I guess Lexi is so old it doesn’t *really* affect her, or maybe Damon gave them stale stuff, because as soon as they’re outside she vamps out and is totally going to eat the police lady, but then Damon stakes her! Which is also part of the plan to make them all think he’s human.
Stefan is pissed, stakes Damon in the stomach, and the council assumes the vampire nightmare is over. My question is: How does Damon plan to get away with his mayhem now? He should really super speed run off to another town to feed, since he doesn’t appear to want Stefan to have to take the blame for it all, and obviously doesn’t want the blame himself.
At the end of the episode, Bonnie has this dream where she’s running and she sees Kendra the Vampire Slayer in the woods! Cept it’s not actually Kendra, it’s just Bianca Lawson, playing Bonnie’s ancestor witch who used to own the crystal Bonnie now has. As soon as I saw Bianca Lawson in the credits, I was hoping for some slayer action! Alas, it is not…and Kendra is dead anyway.
