Okay, so I'm gonna try and be diligent with my posting now, but no guarantees! Last week's TVD episode was titled "The Last Dance" which, to me, seemed to imply some kind of goodbye to either the season or the show in its entirety. Before, I used to just give recaps of The Vampire Diaries, but now I have a new and better idea. I've decided to give you Junkies more of what you want: criticism. Good criticism, bad criticism, whatever I feel about the certain things of each episode. So, in order to apply this new strategy, I must go about a different route when blogging about TVD. Of course I would so NOT share what that is because you could try and steal my thunder but for now, enjoy Junkies!!
Alright, here's how things went. You guys remember the week before last (4/7) how "Alaric", who is now Klaus, and this random warlock captured Katherine? Well, that's how this episode begins, in Alaric's, the real one, apartment with Katherine in a chair telling Klaus all she knows. This was just a wee bit creepy with Klaus searching through all of Alaric's stuff and feeling that his choice in clothes is quite like Safari Sam (whoever he is) because Klaus seemed to put on the facade of some investigator who needed to get a job done. Anyway, after Katherine tells Klaus stuff, he tells her to stab herself when she gets bored, something quite graphic but what Katherine deserved for being such a, well you know what I mean.

Next on tap for this episode was the official handing over of the Salvatore home though I thought it would have been something worth celebrating....oh, well. It's not worth discussing right now so, moving on! In the small scene of Elena signing the special document, Stefan and Damon discuss Bonnie's ability to take on Klaus when he arrives. Typical, always so judgy those Salvatore boys. Then, they start playing Daddy Dearest by being all overprotective when Bonnie and Elena say that their going to school (WTF, it's just school), claiming that they meant for the safe-house, that's what Elena's new house is, to be just that, safe (boys!).
Now, more of the annoying part of the development of this series was that Matt and Sheriff Forbes are in on the whole Caroline-being-a-vampire deal. Matt just shows up at the Forbes' house and asks for vampire advice from the Sheriff. Really, Matt? It's just as hard for you to get used to the idea of Caroline being a vampire as it is for her own mother. But instead, he just insists on asking her for what to do and to my surprise, Sheriff Forbes tells him to lie, to pretend he actually forgot about the full, long conversation he and Caroline had about her new condition and everything that happened way back then (season 1 for us). And so, the Sheriff has Matt take Caroline to the 60s Decade Dance at school (deja vu much? Maybe episode 112 "Unpleasantville"?).
So now with Klaus being Alaric, "Alaric" walks into his American History class late and looks like he is incredibly stunned to see Elena sitting in the back with Stefan and Bonnie. He fumbles over when Watergate occurred and said it was in the 60s, what they were learning due to the dance, which made Elena correct him when it was actually in the 70s.
Then there was the planning of the dance, Matt and Caroline "reconnecting", and of course Jeremy trying to talk Bonnie out of risking her life for Elena. This new chick Dana, not an actual legit character, was compelled by Klaus to scare Elena about the fact that he will be at the dance and will want the last dance. Planning for his arrival, Stefan, Damon, Elena, Bonnie, and "Alaric" talk about the plan of attack for the dance when Klaus shows.
Back at Alaric's apartment, Klaus, Katherine, and Klaus's warlock discuss how to protect Klaus from Bonnie, as she is quite freakin' powerful from summoning all of that power. Mr. Warlock states that he can put a protective spell over Klaus to protect him from any blow that Bonnie may attempt to give. Of course Klaus agrees because underneath all of that badass act, he is seriously afraid that he could die or get hurt by Bonnie's powers.
Matt goes to pick up Caroline from her house to take to the dance and stuff. Blah, blah, blah...not all that important. Neither is Elena's not-so-dream about Klaus being real, or everyone arriving at the dance and partying, or Dana, still compelled, making a lame shout-out to Elena from Klaus.
Jeremy takes a walk into the hallway upset about the upcoming events. Stefan, being overprotective, follows him out there and gets him to say what's on his mind, the fact that Bonnie is being suicidal. So Stefan tells Elena and she has a talk with Bonnie. Meanwhile, Jeremy continues to walk in the halls and is jumped by a couple of guys that Klaus compelled to distract everyone. His plan working out successfully, "Alaric" takes Bonnie and Elena into the halls to provoke them. Getting what he deserved, Klaus get blown back painfully into glass, which doesn't hurt him by the way, after the girls figure out his real identity.

| Yeah, see. That's what you get for messing with Bonnie. |
Bonnie tracks Klaus down into the cafeteria and battles him once and for all which does not end well. After much hard work, Bonnie ends up dead and Klaus remains in glory, feeling empowered.
Damon explains to Jeremy what went on after they saved him from getting jumped and they venture back to the burning site of the witches. Elena feels regretful and Stefan tries to cheer her up but she continues to cry. Damon walks in and Elena is pissed at him and interrogates him about if he knew Bonnie would've had to die for the plan to go on. Damon agrees that he knew and he gets a nice slap in the face, one that he has been much needed since the beginning of this season.But, in the end it was just a part of Damon and Bonnie's plan to make Klaus believe that she was dead. So, Bonnie's really alive and Elena, being quite the rebel, pulls out the dagger from inside Elijah, who was stored in the basement, and waits for him to come back.
Well, next episode, tomorrow's (4/21) is called "Klaus" and guess who it's about?
Later Junkies!
