Amelia and Desireé discuss "Rose" season 2 episode 8 of The Vampire Diaries. They’re both overjoyed about a specific characters arrival. 

SPEAKER_01

Hello, listener. Welcome back to Barbie Vamps. It's Okay to Love Them All podcast. Each week we'll sink our teeth into every episode of the Vampire Diaries, relive the drama, romance, twists, and supernatural goodness with us. I'm your host, Amelia, and I might butcher and mispronounce this company's name, but I'm obsessed with those Yasso bars right now, those Greek yogurt bars. I will eat 10 a day, maybe more. Ten is gracious. I want so many of those all the time. I want one right now. I wish I was having one right now. And this is your other host, Desiree. What's up guys? Welcome back.

SPEAKER_05

I too am actually having a fixation with um popsicles. Specifically the Jolly Rancher flavor popsicle from Popscole brand. Um, it is summertime about to be, it pretty much is, and I can't get enough of them right now.

SPEAKER_01

What's your flavor?

SPEAKER_05

What's your flavor? Tell me what's your flavor. Um so the Jolly Rancher Popscool has a bunch of the flavors in it. So which one's your favorite? Oh, watermelon. Hands down.

SPEAKER_01

Sugar high.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah, come on, Mary.

SPEAKER_01

Um, yes. I'm obsessed with the also um chocolate chip like cookie dough.

SPEAKER_05

So good.

SPEAKER_01

And the coffee one's really good too, but the chocolate chip cookie dough one is like, oh, hits the spot.

SPEAKER_05

Hits the spot.

SPEAKER_01

I feel like I wish I could do a half and half. Like split half this flavor, half this flavor at the same time. It would be gold.

SPEAKER_05

You know what else has been hitting lately is um ice cream sandwiches. Good old-fashioned traditional ones the traditional ones, like from the cardboard box that you get, like 20 for a dollar ninety nine. Yep. Dude, they're so good. I haven't had one in so long. And when I was picking up my popsicles because I hadn't had a popsicle in so long, I was like, it was hot. Girl, it's been two days. It's been two days. Um, but I was like, I want a popsicle, and I couldn't tell you the last time I had eaten or purchased a popsicle in my life. Um, and then so I went to when I got them, I was like, Oh, these are so good. And when I ate them all and I was like, I gotta go get more. And so when I went to go get more, I was like, hey, who's this little slut down here? This ice cream sandwich looking at me?

SPEAKER_01

Here I'm not blue on them.

SPEAKER_05

So I picked them up and I was like, God fucking Christ, why are these so good? And they're literally plastic, but they're so good.

SPEAKER_01

I understand. I like the um, as far as popsicles are popsicles are concerned, I really like the outshine ones, the strawberry outshine. Those are not good. Those are my jam. I haven't had one of those in probably a good six years. Yeah. But the the yeah, those freaking frozen yogurt bars, I'm just like, put them in my veins, you guys. Put them in my veins.

SPEAKER_05

Put it in my veins.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, grab your vervain, pour a drink, and let's dive in. Desiree, who give us the who's and the what's it's of this people behind the scenes.

SPEAKER_05

This is uh season two, episode eight, Rose. Um it was give me a second, guys. I'm not prepared.

SPEAKER_01

It's okay. I have a little surprise for you at the end of the episode.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, that's exciting.

SPEAKER_01

You're because you forgot. We said we were gonna do it in this episode, and then I forgot.

SPEAKER_05

And then I remember no idea what's happening.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Um let's see. It originally aired you guys November 4th, 2010. It was written by Brian Young, and it was directed by Liz Forbes. No. That'd be funny. Uh Liz Friedlander. Friedlander? Friedlander. Um, yeah, so that's what's going on in this episode and who it was written and directed by. Tell us a little about it, Meals.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the description for this episode is Elena has been kidnapped. Guess who comes to save her? While they rescue her, they learn of some new hotties. Dude, do they ever do everything audience?

SPEAKER_05

God, do we ever?

SPEAKER_01

I'm actually today I'm wearing my men should apologize for not being Klaus Michelson shirt because we get to hear his name for the first time in this episode.

SPEAKER_05

And even though he's got a badass, bad, awful haircut, like Elijah still is fine as fuck.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, his haircut is so bad, but he's so hot. His personality shines through the bad hair.

SPEAKER_05

Well, let's get there. How do we open how do we open this boy bad boy up, Miel?

SPEAKER_01

We open into like vacancy of a car, like an SUV chilling, and another car pulls up, and that car is the person that kidnapped Elena at the masquerade ball, and he puts Elena in this other SUV trunk, and that actor Tom not it's not Tom Ford. Trevor, nope, his name in the show is Trevor. Something Ford. Oh my god, what's his name? Something Ford. And he was in a movie with Mandy Moore in 2003 called How to Deal.

SPEAKER_05

He was.

SPEAKER_01

And I had the fattest crush on him when I was 12 years old from that movie.

SPEAKER_05

It makes sense. I was like good looking guy.

SPEAKER_01

You're adorable, sir. So when he was in this years later that I watched it, I was like, oh my god, that's a guy from How to Deal. Because it's the only thing I think I've really experienced.

SPEAKER_05

He learned how to deal.

SPEAKER_01

He well, no, he helped Mandy Moore to deal.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, I'm just saying now in his life, he's learned to deal.

SPEAKER_01

He's learned to deal. And uh he's the one in the car getting Elena delivered in the trunk. And then he's like, come here. To the deliverer. Come to the city. To the other guy.

SPEAKER_05

Closer.

SPEAKER_01

And then he eats him. Sure does. Kills him. Which is it's giving you, it's giving you this like like he doesn't have a daylight ring because he's like, come into the darkness of my SUV. Yep. I can't come to you. You come to me. It's like giving pick of destiny. Come here, so I can stab you. No.

SPEAKER_05

No.

SPEAKER_01

I'm not gonna do that.

SPEAKER_05

Let me facilitate it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it's like that's that energy. But compulsion, you know. He was like, Oh, okay, I'll come closer. I can't help it. I'm being mind-controlled. Uh so we see Elena go into trunk and go off with this man. We don't know who he is yet.

SPEAKER_04

We don't.

SPEAKER_01

Um, and we see Jeremy fixing his terrible hair in the mirror. Like, Jeremy, there's no help for you. Get a buzz cut, do something else. We hate this.

SPEAKER_05

This still looks so beautiful though.

SPEAKER_01

And he's looking at Elena's room and it's perfectly made, like by a maid. It's like it's like hotel quality made bed.

SPEAKER_05

A teenage girl does not live there. Like it's such bullshit. I'm like, make the bed, but it's not gonna be fucking 90 degree corners.

SPEAKER_01

Like, yeah, like a hotel maid. Like, I'm like, this is like perfectly creased sheets with her cute little stuffed bear on the pillow case.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was it was not giving what my room was giving at that point in my life.

SPEAKER_05

God, no.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, granted, my life was definitely I was able to have a childhood. She was clearly deprived of some things, so she grew up really fast, but still, it took me a long time to learn how to make my bed every day. So it did not happen like that. That was not my room. My room was like, where's my floor? I'm not sure where my floor is. Has anyone seen it? Does it remember the color? I'm stepping on something, but it feels more like all of my clothes and magazines. Is that my teen beat? You know, what the fuck? You know, very different, very different vibes.

SPEAKER_05

Well, that's my history homework I couldn't find.

SPEAKER_01

Those were like goals. Like, if you watch shit like that as a teenager, I'd look at those rooms that they're like perfectly like perfect. Yeah. And I'd be like, oh my god, I wish that my room looked like that. But and then I'd be like getting dressed and I'd be just throwing shit.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, I'd be like, it's a not happening.

SPEAKER_01

It's not happening. It's a it's a pipe dream. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So Elena's clearly didn't sleep there.

SPEAKER_01

Clearly.

SPEAKER_05

And Jeremy's like, huh, suspicious, but not gonna be too suspicious, but it's a little suspicious.

SPEAKER_01

Well, yeah, in his mind, which we find out when he sees Stefan at school.

SPEAKER_05

He's like, oh, Elena didn't know you guys are back together sleeping over shit.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's like, oh my god, you guys are back together. That's great. Stefan's like, what are you talking about? No, we're not. Stefan's concern is instantaneous.

SPEAKER_05

Sexy.

SPEAKER_01

And sexy. Isn't he where like the black hoodie with the zip-up hoodie? I was like, somebody punch me in the face.

SPEAKER_05

An American apparel hoodie.

SPEAKER_01

Somebody punch me in the face. Literally knocked me in face. So fucking good. Okay, I know. I just anyway, he's concerned because Jeremy's like, oh yeah, and he's like, no, she was not with me, sir. With me, she was not. So now they have now they have some concern, I guess. Because oh, also Jeremy says that her car is still at uh Miss uh Lockwood.

SPEAKER_05

Miss Lockwood's house. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

She's at Miss Lockwood's, so um then she's not there, but her car is there.

SPEAKER_05

And that's suspicious. So now we're getting full suspicion now. Now everybody's not a little suspicious.

SPEAKER_01

Now everybody's everybody's scared now.

SPEAKER_05

We're in full suspicion mode.

SPEAKER_01

Yes, that's where we're at.

SPEAKER_05

Everybody's gonna say suspicious.

SPEAKER_01

Please. Suspish. Say it a little different.

SPEAKER_05

Suspish?

SPEAKER_01

There you go. Okay. Um, so Caroline's getting ready for school with her really skinny scarf.

SPEAKER_05

Duh.

SPEAKER_01

I think we all had one of those. We all did.

SPEAKER_05

That we wrapped around our neck and had it dangle in front of us. We all did.

SPEAKER_01

It's so I had multiple. It was such a look that we loved so much. Oh my god. And when I look back on it and I watch her wear it, I'm like, oh.

SPEAKER_05

But we watched that at one point and dressed like that at one point and was like, cute. Yeah. We did.

SPEAKER_01

I think I had the exact one she's wearing in this episode, honestly. Um yeah, it looks great. Anyway, so she's getting ready and she's talking to Damon about Sarah and how she lied to everybody about how it went down.

SPEAKER_05

With Tyler and the killing of those, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the Sarah. So, right? That's her name.

SPEAKER_05

Sarah.

SPEAKER_01

Sarah. Yeah. And how um she was just like, well, vampire like werewolf lane basically leads to vampire town. So I'm not gonna, I'm gonna cover it up. Yeah. She did. She was thinking on her feet. She's fucking amazing. I thought it was great. She is not getting, she never gets her flowers, I swear. Never they're like, Ditzy little Caroline. I'm like, she fucking handled that like a boss. She sure did. I'm just saying, she handles everything really. She's a brilliant genius. Genius. She is. She's a genius. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05

Brilliant genus.

SPEAKER_01

I can't say words.

SPEAKER_05

It's okay. We never claimed we were geniuses.

SPEAKER_01

No, I did not claim that. I did not. I also woke up with a fiery headache today. So I'm living on a dream and Advil.

SPEAKER_05

Amen.

SPEAKER_01

Um, so anyway, Damon's like, listen, Caroline, that's great. You can't tell him about vampires because they can kill vampires, so he cannot know that that is what we are, and you also cannot be friends with him. And she's like, okay, I get it. And she's scared of him, and it makes me so upset. I know. Because I'm like, Damon's getting all this like almost like accolades and like love from like Elena now, like we're forgetting everything he's just done. I'm being like, it's fine. And then there's Caroline still being very afraid of him because of what sh what he's done, who he is, what he's done specifically to her.

SPEAKER_05

Specifically to her. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_01

Come on. Come on, guys. And so her fear of him is like, oh yeah, guys, remember Damon's a dick. Yeah, Damon's mean guy. And he's like literally up in her face, kind of threatening her. Who is Elena's best friend? You know who wouldn't do that?

SPEAKER_05

Stefan. Because he's perfect.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I'm just saying he wouldn't be like, oh, the love of my life's best friend. I'm just gonna go threaten her really quick. Yep. No, I'm gonna be respectful and kind because this is the person my by the one I love loves, so I'm gonna treat them with love. Yep. Because that's what we'd be doing. But Damon's like crazy. No, Damon's a lot right now, you know? And I get why he's afraid, so he's like slightly projecting and making her afraid because he's afraid, but it's like, bro.

SPEAKER_05

Damon has a lot this episode.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and then he says, um Amy's body's in the bottom of a ravine, I believe.

SPEAKER_05

Yep, with a broken spine.

SPEAKER_01

It's really sad.

SPEAKER_05

If you want to give your mom a heads up. Yeah, like tell us a little tip for her to find a poor innocent girl's dead body.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm like, how exactly is she supposed to throw that hint to her mom and it not be weird?

SPEAKER_05

Hey mom, so for dinner tonight, I'm working in lasagna. And oh, by the way, I think there's like a dead body at the bottom of the ravine with like a cracked spine, but I don't know. So, um, do you want salad as well? Or like what?

SPEAKER_01

I would just I had a vision, but don't look into that.

SPEAKER_05

Don't I heard something about this? Where'd you hear it from? I just heard it around.

SPEAKER_01

No, I'm not okay.

SPEAKER_05

Where did you where were you?

SPEAKER_01

Just around. I was just like around. It was I was in Mystic Falls.

SPEAKER_05

Adjacent. Where? You know, that's a great just you know, around.

SPEAKER_01

Just around. So go check that out. Yeah, so like go look into it. Just go look into it. Don't worry about it. Maybe I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_05

Maybe I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01

But if I'm not wrong, don't look into that. Just be like, great, we found her. That's great. Um, poor Amy and poor Sarah. Yeah. Poor girls. They were just teenage girls living their lives, and then they had to get involved with these people. Well, as actors, yes.

SPEAKER_05

Ugh.

SPEAKER_01

As actors, that's a great gig.

SPEAKER_05

Uh just to be it in the vicinity of Paul Leslie. As Stefan. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

My love for him has no bounce.

SPEAKER_05

It doesn't, yeah. It has no bounce. I'm with you.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so at the school, Tyler's walking through the halls, and there's all the sad stuff about Sarah and Amy missing, and Sarah's got the stuff at her locker for like memoriam stuff. It's very, very fucking sad. And uh Tyler's like, you know, he's going through it. I feel really bad for him. And he goes to get into his locker and he pulls the lock off because he's a strong.

SPEAKER_05

He's super superhuman strong now.

SPEAKER_01

He's like, I can at the moon. Ur a buddy.

SPEAKER_05

Urbuddy in the club helling at the mole.

unknown

Oh, there we go. That's the way to do it.

SPEAKER_05

It's a remix.

SPEAKER_01

Remix. Anyways.

SPEAKER_05

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01

We're back with um Mr. Ford. I forgot his first name. Feel bad about it. Should maybe look like that. Yeah, just call him his character name. In the show, his name is Trevor.

SPEAKER_05

There you go.

SPEAKER_01

And he's carrying Elena. Uh like a baby. Like a baby to the couch. She's got the blood on her shirt still because when she was being attacked in the last episode, well, her well, through Catherine being attacked. Yeah, you know. Um, so she's still got like blood on her, and she's like, I'm hurt. What do you want with me? And I mean, I'm mocking, but like I would be terrified in the situation. And then like it was a very terrifying situation. And he's she's like, I'm hurt, and he's like, I know.

SPEAKER_05

Like he's like, I want a little taste.

SPEAKER_01

But give me a little and then Rose comes in, she's all badass, but Rose. This is the yes, she's the the main person that we're talking about. I'm surprised we named it this, actually. But anyway, because we don't learn about her yet, really.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but she's like, control yourselves, Tremor, for fuck's sake. And he listens to her. Like, there's some respect between the two of these people. You can see it right at the gate.

SPEAKER_05

Almost like 500 years worth of respect.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, like maybe or something like that. Close to, close to, and there, she's cute with her terrible uh 2010 haircut that a lot of people have. I might have had a similar one. I was closer to the one that Reese Witherspoon had in Sweet Home Alabama.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That was the one I went with.

SPEAKER_05

But I think my friends' short flippy outy, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

My friend had that haircut. It looked really good on her, but like looking back once again, I'm like, oh god, so bad. This isn't great.

SPEAKER_05

Does not age well.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, some things don't. Some things do, some things don't.

SPEAKER_05

Yep, and that did not.

SPEAKER_01

No, it didn't. It didn't. But she's beautiful. That actress is insane. Like her face.

SPEAKER_05

She plays um Maggie in uh Walking Dead. And for any listeners, she plays Maggie in The Walking Dead.

SPEAKER_01

I recall seeing that on something. The internet is the something that I saw it on. So that's that thing. The world wide web. That's where I learned that tidbit of information. So dumb. Solid. Thanks. Um, anyway, but he's like, you can see Trevor's like looking at her and he's like, you look just like her. So we know it's about Catherine. Oh my god, we're not shocked at all that Elena's getting looped into doppelganger shit.

SPEAKER_05

Especially because if you guys remember a couple episodes ago, cat when Damon was walking Catherine in the tomb, she was like, You gotta be careful, they're coming for Elena. Danger, danger. Elena's in danger, and he's like, Yeah, whatever, shut up and close the tomb on her. And now he's like, Damon's like, Oh, maybe I should say something about this.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe a little bit, maybe a little kinda.

SPEAKER_05

This stupid bitch mentioned sombla.

SPEAKER_01

Woman, you know, somebody. Um, but anyway, Elena keeps asking, what do you want? What do you want? And Rose is like, for you to be quiet. And then Elena's like, what do you want?

SPEAKER_05

She's like, if you speak again, I'm gonna shut up or I'll shut you up, type of thing. And she was just like, okay, but I don't understand. She's like, I'll make you understand and knocks her out.

SPEAKER_01

Just slaps her closely and she just ends up back on the couch, all slapped.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, all slapped.

SPEAKER_01

Freshly slapped.

SPEAKER_05

Knocked out, vampire slapped.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that would hurt. What am I hearing? The garage? Oh! I was scared. I was like, what am I what's happening in our lives right now?

SPEAKER_05

It took me a second.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, thank you for registering what we were experiencing. Okay, I think.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, um, so Stefan and Damon are talking outside the school. Stefan is clearly very concerned about where Elena is.

SPEAKER_05

Because he's a sweet pickle.

SPEAKER_01

He is a sweet pickle. And he's like, Is Catherine in the tomb, Damon? Is she in the tomb?

SPEAKER_05

Is the bitch there? Are we for real roll for Playfoot?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, I put her there. And he's like, Are you sure? Because you've been like obsessed with the bitch. So are we telling the bitch?

SPEAKER_05

I wouldn't blame you, Damon. It's been a hundred, I wouldn't blame you. Like trying to give him an out. And he was like, Bro, no, bitch isn't there. She's locked up. But she did mention something.

SPEAKER_01

Like, maybe she said something that I didn't tell you because I was like, nah, whatever.

SPEAKER_05

But the when I did lock her up though, because she is locked up, um, she mentioned something about Elena being in danger, but like, I'm not, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I just thought, whatever, she's gonna be a lot of bitch. So it's fine. And Stefan's like, are you fucking kidding me right now?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So he's like, well, I have to go deal with it. I have to find out what she knows to figure out what the fuck is going on. I have to find Elena. Yeah. And and Damon's like, but danger, and in some way. And Stefan's like, it's Elena. Yeah. Because he's hot and he'll do anything to get Elena. Yeah. Because he loves her.

SPEAKER_05

Damon's giving him all these things like it's dangerous, Stefan, and you could do this, and this could happen, and da da da da. And he just looks at him and there's a song called Long, not long, but like there's a good beat, and he's just like, it's Elena.

SPEAKER_01

It's Elena.

SPEAKER_05

And it's just like, okay.

SPEAKER_01

That's sexy, okay?

SPEAKER_05

It's sexy.

SPEAKER_01

He's like, oh, you mean something could happen to me? I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_05

In my head, he's saying, it's Desiree.

SPEAKER_01

In mine, it's it's Amelia.

SPEAKER_05

Elena.

SPEAKER_01

It's both of those. It's both of those. It's both of those. It's totally both of those.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, so he's like, we gotta figure some shit out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So he's gonna go on his way to go figure that out. Meanwhile, we get the name Elijah. Rose and Trevor are talking in quietness between themselves. And Elena's like, I'm gonna find out what they're telling. But I'm gonna get a little closer and see what they're saying. And they're talking about Elijah. We don't have to go through with this. We can just leave, says Trevor.

SPEAKER_05

They just want to be free. And she's like, No, I'm tired of running. Like, I want to be free.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, she's fed up. It's been 500 years of running. And this is because of Trevor, by the way, you guys. Because of Trevor. And there's something to do with Elena because of looking like Catherine. Something with Catherine happened where they've been running from Elijah for 500 years. And uh Rosa's sick of it, quite frankly. She's had enough. She's done. And Trevor's scared for his fucking life. So he's like, actually, if we could just go, like, we don't have to we're just let I would rather live. Yeah. Even though it's been 500 years of them living, I realize that. I also do see in the in this way, like, have they really been living?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, they've just been on the run.

SPEAKER_01

They're just on the run. Like they're like lot, they're alive, but they're not living.

SPEAKER_05

It's exactly what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01

Which so even if like they continue to keep surviving, they're not living. And so she's like, I want to experience this life and not be constantly looking over my shoulder for this sexy man Elijah. And she does say that he's old school and he will respect, like he honors his word type of thing. Yeah, if he says he's gonna do something, if he says, hey, you're pardoned or whatever, he will do that.

SPEAKER_05

And he does.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he does. And then anyway, Stephman's like, first the first stop Stefan makes is to Bonnie, which is a smart step to make.

SPEAKER_05

It is smart.

SPEAKER_01

Because he's a smart man.

SPEAKER_05

He's got a good brain, he's got a good heart, he's got a good head of hair, good face, good body, good eyes, good skin, good eyelashes, good eyebrows, good follicles, pores, phalanges, toenails. It's all good.

SPEAKER_01

I bet it's all good.

SPEAKER_05

Hair good, face good, body good.

SPEAKER_01

So he's telling Bonnie we have to do something. She's frantic. She's like I don't know what the fuck we're doing, but she's like, wait, maybe I can do something. So she's like, maybe I can find Elena. Like I can't figure out why she's in danger, but maybe I can locate her. Locate her. So they go into like a classroom and they get like a map.

SPEAKER_05

And she's like a lark's classroom and it's like larks only have a few minutes, so go for it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, because he's the one that knows all the things and the mysteries and the supernatural. And so they put a map down and she gets Jeremy because they're related by the blood in their veins. Sure are. They're cousins. Sure are. So she like cuts him and like uses the blood in this like spell to the blood. Like drops on the map and it starts moving towards her where she is, yeah. Her place on the map. Yeah. And so Stefan's just sitting there worried as fuck. His face, he's just concerned. Yeah. He's like, I'm sweet as hell, and I'm concerned. And I'm you could see it in my sweet eyes. Yeah. My soul. I could see it in my soul.

SPEAKER_05

And they start talking about okay, that's where she's at, da da da. But Bonnie is having a little nosebleed that she tries to hide.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, she's trying to hide her nose bleeding, and Jeremy's like, I'm coming with you. And Stefan's like, No, you're fucking not.

SPEAKER_05

But Damon's like, I will. And then he looks at him and he goes, It's Elena. So he shoves it right back in his face.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I'm like, okay, Damon, now you're on board.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And it's sweet.

SPEAKER_05

And it's sweet, but all right.

SPEAKER_01

But it's also it shouldn't be for to me in this moment, it shouldn't be it's Elena coming from Damon. It should be I'm being there for Stefan.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because his the person he loves has been taken, and my brother's hurting, and my brother's scared, and my brother needs help. 100%. And it should be I'm helping you, Stefan. Yep. 100%. But it's always it's Elena because it's this love triangle triangle dynamic. And I just don't respect that. And I'm sorry. Like maybe when I was 16 years old, I was like, oh my god, it's so cute, it's two men, name. And don't get me wrong, I still love a love triangle and it's toxic and it's fine. But I still think Damon should be there for Stefan specifically.

SPEAKER_05

I agree. I agree.

SPEAKER_01

That's my thoughts.

SPEAKER_05

So we're getting a little brother road trip.

SPEAKER_01

We are. Meanwhile, Tyler approaches Caroline at the school and he's like, How do you know what I am? And she's like, What do you mean? Bye, bye.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she's playing dumb.

SPEAKER_01

And so she leaves. And then he's playing basketball. He's playing hoopsie balls. He's like, sports, ball, sports. I like all the sports. Yep. He's dribbling the ball and he's playing the ball and all the boys are doing it. And then he spots Caroline. Yeah. And so he's like, follows her, and he's like, How do you know what I am for real? Why are you lying to me? Stop keeping things for me. She's like, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, boy. And then he's like, dun, and gets all up in her, and then she like twists his fucking arm and like manhandles the guy. And he's like, You're stronger than me. She's like, Well, I didn't do anything. What do you mean? I'm so light and dainty. I'm a cheerleading dainty little blonde.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He's just very frustrated. So he kicks or punches, punches or kicks, does it?

SPEAKER_05

Kicks.

SPEAKER_01

Kicks the trash can that like dents it clear across the punts that like parking lot area. And it's like, whoa.

SPEAKER_05

And everyone's like, oh, look at Tello, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_01

And it's sad because he's just like standing there. He's like, I can't handle this. This is too much for me. He's like really upset.

SPEAKER_05

And the only person who knows what's going on, he has no contact with.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's dead. Yeah, and he's like, Caroline clearly knows something, and she's stronger than me, and she did these things. She knew my cut was fine, and she's not talking to me, and I'm freaking the fuck out of freaking. So I feel for him. I feel for him. 100% feel for him in this. I feel bad for Tyler. I feel for the tie tie. Tyler in season two is he's good. He's good. He's good. I don't mind. Anyway, Stefan and Damon are road tripping brothers. They're road tripping.

SPEAKER_05

That are road tripping, that was correct.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and they're and Stefan's going through things that he got from Alaric for like vampire hunting. Also, last week when I was trying to think of the word for hunter that I was thinking of, I was thinking Van Helsing. I was like Van Helsing stuff. And I don't know why I couldn't get to that reference in my mind. I couldn't figure out why. I couldn't even realize it was a reference, but that was what I was looking for. And I just wanted to clear that up.

SPEAKER_05

I didn't realize you were going off of like you wanted a specific name.

SPEAKER_01

Me neither.

SPEAKER_05

I thought you were talking about the term.

SPEAKER_01

Same. So I was lost. My brain had failed me. It was like batteries dead.

SPEAKER_05

I guarantee if you would have been like, no, it's like a name, I couldn't have.

SPEAKER_01

You could have gotten you would have totally gotten there. But I didn't. I was like, what am I thinking? And then I, when I was listening back to it, because I make the clips and stuff, I was like, oh, I was thinking Van Helsing.

SPEAKER_05

That's amazing. It came to me. At least it came to you.

SPEAKER_01

It did come to me, which is very satisfying.

SPEAKER_05

So satisfying.

SPEAKER_01

And so anyway, he's getting all his Van Helsing goods and he has these Vervain grenade launches and all these little goodies and treats for killing vampires. So it's fun for them.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

And um anyway, they're basically assuming and putting together the pieces that it's clearly from someone's uh from someone from Catherine's past. Someone from Catherine's past.

SPEAKER_00

Right.

SPEAKER_01

Which is, you know, gonna be fun for them. Which obviously, guys, when you put Catherine away, there was no fucking way you thought this was over because clearly she's there for a reason. Getting a werewolf, she's getting a stone. What do you think all these things are for?

SPEAKER_05

Come on.

SPEAKER_01

And then leaving the stone with her.

SPEAKER_05

It was the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01

What was the point?

SPEAKER_05

Exactly. It was the stupidest decision.

SPEAKER_01

Did they have they even said why they've done that? I hope they bring it up. I hope they have like a dumb explanation, even if it's dumb. Like say something about why you would leave that with her, because I don't remember that. And it's really stupid. But anyway, I digress on that. But at the end of the day, you guys know she's here for something, and she's collecting things and she's looking for things. So you know this is a plan of the thing. There's no way that something is not coming. So sorry. 100%. Sorry. But anyway, Stefan does thank Damon for helping him out.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And he's just like, you know, are you here for me? Like the bro your little brother? Or are you here for Elena? And Damon doesn't really respond to it. He kind of is avoidant.

SPEAKER_05

For sure.

SPEAKER_01

Um, and Stefan's like, okay. And then Damon gets all threatening and he's like, I can turn this car around. And Stefan's like, yeah. But you don't you're not gonna.

SPEAKER_05

So it's Elena. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

Poor Stefan. I know I also feel bad for Damon in the sense that no one's choosing him. I do feel bad for him in that sense. That sucks. But Stefan also has the same situation.

SPEAKER_03

Look at your actions, Damon.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sorry, I'm gonna sit straight up in my chair right now. I'm gonna have words, says Desiree.

SPEAKER_05

No, like I get what you're saying. No, I know. But Liz, his actions, no. The shit he has pulled, how he's he killed her brother. I can't. I'm sorry. Like, I yes, no one's choosing you, Damon. Look at your actions. Like, my guy. I know. What are you talking about? Quit this fucking pity party. You want shit to change? Change yourself.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I don't know if Catherine would have chosen him, even if he was a better, because he was really nice as a human. He was great.

SPEAKER_05

Well, yeah, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about right now.

SPEAKER_01

No, and I'm just saying Catherine is also a part of my equation. It's like Catherine dipped and chose Stefan. Elena choosing Stefan is different because she didn't fucking know Damon when she fell in love with Stefan.

SPEAKER_00

Nope.

SPEAKER_01

Like she was already in a fully committed relationship when she got to know Damon really. Yeah. Yes, she met. But they didn't get to know each other. She was like, I don't know you. You're just this guy that I like's brother. Exactly.

SPEAKER_05

So it's like And you're kind of a dickhole and you've done awful shit to my best friend and to me. And I'm not handling it.

SPEAKER_01

No, yeah. So it's like I don't you're impeding. And one of the scenes in this actually bugs me, but they're they're impeding on Stefan's relationship. It's not like we met this girl at the same exact time and we got to know her equally, and she's making a decision. If I developed a relationship with this person and now you're coming in and being like, I'm interested too. Fucked. No, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_05

Nope, that's not how it works.

SPEAKER_01

No, you become interested too, then you go, ah, just kidding, because you are already with somebody.

SPEAKER_05

Guess what? You have feelings? Cool, that's valid. Your feelings are valid. Can't do anything.

SPEAKER_01

You can't have Jesse's girl.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, you can't.

SPEAKER_01

Sorry.

SPEAKER_05

You may wish, but you can't.

SPEAKER_01

You may wish, but it's not happening. Um, so anyway, Jeremy and Bonnie are hanging out, they're connecting, they're bonding.

SPEAKER_05

We're seeing that there's like a romance blooming here.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, something's going on. Jeremy has a little crushy crush. So does Bonnie. And he f he did, he looked up on the map where the blood landed, and he like like Google zoomed basically. Yeah. And there was only one property in that area, which is very lucky. Yeah. Because they don't have to bounce to different house, house, house, house, house. They're like, oh, it's just this one place, go. Go to this one place.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, and it's very like abandoned looking, it's like mansion-y looking, like abandoned, creepy, dusty.

SPEAKER_04

Old like plantation type thing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And so they have one place to go. So Jeremy did that on the back end, which is really helpful. Yeah. So they're that Damon and Stefan know exactly where they're driving to.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

And he's um he's concerned because he's a he wants to be a part of it. He wants to be looking for his sister. I think so. Bonnie's like, listen, something I can do is I can get her a message. So she writes on like a little notebook paper, Stefan and Damon are coming for you or whatever, heartbee. And she does a little magic y woo-woo and it like lights on fire and disappears. And then and then it poofs. And then she's like, kind of feeling, you know, like completely out of it. And then she passes out, and Jeremy's like, oh my god, Bonnie. And that's what happens in that scene. Yep. And Bonnie's passed out and she keeps bleeding from the nose.

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Bloody noses are really dramatic in movies and TV. And so every time I get bloody nose, because I get like bad bloody noses because you know, I just dry, I'm dry. Like my hands, they be dry, my scalp be dry. Everything's dry. Yeah. Uh I have dry screen, screw screen, everything today. It's a good thing. Anyway, I have dry skin, so I'll age beautifully. Um, but yeah, so I get bloody noses, and I'm always like, oh my god. In a movie, it would be like, is she ill? She has disease. What disease does she have? She needs to go to the doctor. She needs to go to the doctor immediately. Something's wrong. You know? It's always dramatic in a show.

SPEAKER_05

No, no, no. She's she's fine. She's first master. She's phosphato.

SPEAKER_01

Fosmatos, phosmatos.

SPEAKER_05

She's fine.

SPEAKER_01

She's fine. Everybody's just fine. It's cool. Chill. It's just a little blood. It's a little blood. The vampire's been loving it. Anyway, Elena's up. Everybody's up. Rose is going through some stuff. And Elena's like, why am I here though? Like, could you just like tell me? And she's like, I'm gonna fucking talk to you. And she's like, but like you already have me here, so could you just tell me what's up? Yeah. Which I get. I get it. Can I just know why the fuck I'm here?

SPEAKER_05

If I'm gonna die anyways, can you just fucking let me know?

SPEAKER_01

Like, yeah, and Rose is just like, I'm a delivery service, and that's when Elena's like, Elijah? And she's like, Oh, you've been snooping, you've been listening in, girl.

SPEAKER_05

And she this is where we first hear the drop of the originals. The originals. So exciting.

SPEAKER_01

I'm so excited because it's one of the best parts of this fucking series is the fucking originals. Yeah, their introduction is fire, and she's obsessed with them. Um, so she brings it up, she calls them the originals, because that's they're often called their original vampires. And she talks about how she knew Lexi and how Lexi tried to set her up with Stefan because he was one of the good ones. But Rose does admit she had a thing for the bad boys. So we'll see that coming up later.

SPEAKER_05

We sure will.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but yeah, she's basically saying she's been running. She does tell Elena she's been running for 500 years and she's done. And in order to not run anymore, she has to negotiate with these old ass vampires. And um, Elena's that negotiation, and she talks about the sun and the moon curse, and she's talking about vampire education and how Stefan and Damon are not teaching Elena enough. But Elena does know about the curse, so she's impressed.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she's like, I see too much. And she's like, What's that?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and she's like, Well, I thought it was the moonstone because everybody keeps talking about this moonstone, and she's like, No, that binds the curse. You need to die. She's like, the doppelganger has to die to break the sun and the moon curse, is what we get the big drama drama bomb that happens in this episode from Rose. And Elena's like, Oh, that's me. Great.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's that's me.

SPEAKER_01

That's unfortunate that you're saying these words to me that that's what's happening. Okay, okay, cool. Yeah, so that's fun for her. Um, yeah, she's happy about it.

SPEAKER_05

She's super excited.

SPEAKER_01

Who wouldn't be though? You know, she's already been taken. She's gonna just die for some curse to break. Yeah. It's great news.

SPEAKER_05

She's really excited. She also doesn't think anybody's coming for her yet. Like she doesn't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_01

No, she knows that uh Elijah's her worst nightmare.

SPEAKER_05

Yep. He's coming for her.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and apparently he's big and bad and scary.

SPEAKER_05

And he is.

SPEAKER_01

He is. It's kind of hot.

SPEAKER_05

It's so hot.

SPEAKER_01

Because he's bad and scary in a sexy way.

SPEAKER_05

He's like, I'm gonna break your neck, but in a sexy way. In a sexy gentlemanly way.

SPEAKER_01

And here's a handkerchief.

SPEAKER_05

And I'll do it with honor.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He'll make a man out of you.

SPEAKER_05

God, I'll make he can, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I can't. I cannot. Anyway, so Caroline gets home, it's kind of quiet. She's like, Mom, mom. And it's like kind of creepy, but it's why you know they're making it creepy, but really she's just while you're on her house. But the music's creepy, the setting is creepy, and then Tyler's like there. And he's like, I know what you are, and you're dodging me. And like, stop changing the subject, Caroline. And Carolyn Lyons, like, what's up, bro? And he's like, You're a werewolf. Say it. And she just starts laughing, which is so sad, poor Tyler. But then he like goes to like, I don't know, like attack her almost, like pin her, and she's like, ah yeah, fuck that. Yeah. And so she gets the upper hand, and then her vamp face happens. And he's like, he like pulls back and he's like on the ground, like crawling away, like looking at her, like, what the fuck? And she's like, Yeah, so I'm adorable now. Yep. She was like this big bad scary thing, and then she's like, I'm Caroline. Yeah, so cute. And she's like, Yeah, so I'm not a werewolf. In case that wasn't clear.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. But don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_01

So yeah, she's like, Don't even think about it, don't talk about it, it's fine.

SPEAKER_05

Just I'm not a werewolf, okay?

SPEAKER_01

But you I'm not that, you are that. So yeah, she showed him, even though Damon earlier today said not to show. But you know what? He's coming at her hot, okay? And she's like, what do I do here? And she does feel bad for the guy. And laughing at him is sad because poor Tyler, like he said earlier, he can't handle this.

SPEAKER_05

It was funny.

SPEAKER_01

It was funny. She's like, I'm not a werewolf, okay? I'm not a dog. Calm down. Bitch. I think in the book she is.

SPEAKER_05

Caroline's a werewolf.

SPEAKER_01

I think so, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_01

I know. So it's like a little, like a cute little nod to the books.

SPEAKER_05

We wouldn't have Barbie vamps if she was a werewolf.

SPEAKER_01

We wouldn't. We'd be Barbie wolves.

SPEAKER_05

Barbie wolves.

SPEAKER_01

Aww. Um, so Trevor's uh talking to Rose, he's very concerned. He's like specifically, he pissed them off. Yeah. He's the reason the originals are after them. And he trusted Catherine. And he should not have trusted Catherine. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Which is a theme. Shocking.

SPEAKER_01

It's a theme.

SPEAKER_04

I'm shocked.

SPEAKER_01

She's beautiful and manipulative and easy to love, apparently, because everyone on the planet loves Catherine at some point.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she's got some sort of like siren power, I swear.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I know. Everyone's like, Catherine, I love you. Because we'll find out later that another man also loves Catherine.

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Uh so anyway, he is it. We are learning that Trevor is kind of the reason, and Rose just is his best friend and loyal and with him through all of this. And helping the guy out. And that makes sense why he's more scared because he's the one that gone fucked up in the originals. Um, Jeremy's worried about Bonnie, meanwhile, because she's passed out from her spelly spell, and she's all unconscious and shit. And then she wakes up and he's like, bro, you were unconscious.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. She's like, there's nothing.

SPEAKER_01

He's like, oh my god. And she's like, well, listen, um, witchcross, what am I okay today? You're fine. I can't say any word correctly. Oh weekend. Oh my gosh, bro. It's concerning me. Okay, so witchcraft enunciate. Witchcraft limits. There's limits to it. And that um, you know, it killed her grandma basically, and like the things that happen to witches is they if they exude too much of their power, essentially they they die. And so it's a weakness. And she's like, I don't want anybody to know that because there are certain people that can hurt me, and I don't want them to know that they have an upper hand on me at all. And Jeremy's like, Oh, you mean Damon?

SPEAKER_05

I was just aka Damon.

SPEAKER_01

And she's like, Yeah, other people too, but like, yeah, Damon.

SPEAKER_05

But yeah, but basically, basically Damon.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, Jeremy, good, you're learning that Damon is the problem. Yeah. Stop hanging out with the guy.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, whatever.

SPEAKER_01

The man that killed you because he was having a fucking tantrum.

SPEAKER_05

Literally throwing a tantrum.

SPEAKER_01

Throwing a fucking literal tantrum, this guy.

SPEAKER_05

Like a child. And was like, I'm just gonna kill you.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, I don't know how we're all over this. I don't understand. I'm not over it.

SPEAKER_05

I don't know how they are. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

I don't get it. I'm like, okay. He's I love Damon, I do. But I don't think he's as redeemable in that way.

SPEAKER_03

Hell no.

SPEAKER_01

Like clo Okay, I can't get into the subjects I want to get into. I'm gonna miss that. I'm gonna just shut myself up. Soundtrack, we'll get there. Okay. Those are coming. Anyway, uh, Elena. Meanwhile, while Bonnie's disclosing all this to Jeremy, Elena does receive her message.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

It's very sweet. She's all curled up on the couch with her converse and her like tight like Hollister tea. And yeah. Anyway, she's good, she's got the message. So that's a little bit comforting for me.

SPEAKER_05

She knows that Damon and Steph are on their way.

SPEAKER_01

And Damon and Stefan are driving a really hot car with their hot faces on a road, really long time, get to the house.

SPEAKER_05

It's great. I enjoyed that a lot. I didn't have anywhere I was going. Someone gets to the house before they do, though.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, wait, where is that? Is that happening yet?

SPEAKER_05

Oh, maybe maybe I'm not on the same page as you.

SPEAKER_01

I mean we could jump to it and go back. No, go back to your whatever. Oh, okay. I'm just reading my handy dandy notebook. Okay, um, as in date. Um date. As in date. They're getting close to the house, basically. Um and they're drinking their little blood bags out of their straws. It's weird. But better than drinking out of people. Anyway, um, he's like, gives some of the because Stefan's like, oh, you're drinking some of that blood. Can I have some of that blood?

SPEAKER_05

Stefan's microdosing.

SPEAKER_01

He's micro-dosing. And and Damon's like, oh my god, that's so cute. When it'd be big and bad for your girl. And he's like, No, I've been drinking it like every day. And Damon's like, Does Elena know? Like that you be drinking that blood? And he's like, Yeah, I've been drinking from Elena. And you can see that Damon doesn't like this. Like it's like a like blood sharing is like a thing. I guess it's a little romantic. They make blood sexual in certain ways and romantic in certain ways. And so Damon's like, Oh, how romantic. Jealous much?

SPEAKER_05

So fucking jealous. It's makes me uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, he yeah, and Stefan's just like basically acknowledging that Elena and the love he has for her gave him something to live for. And I think they did that for each other. I think Elena felt lost after her parents died, and he was lost being a vampire, being a ripper, like his limitations, and they just found each other and were like, oh, life is worth living. Life is worth sunshine, rainbows, and butterflies, and blood bags. And blood bags. Exactly.

SPEAKER_05

So romantic.

SPEAKER_01

So romantic. Now Trevor is like still at the house, still saying, I can't do this. I'm scared. He's just the whole time. He's like, I don't want to. I don't want to. And don't blame you. I'm terrified too. But anyway, Rose is like, we're family. We're forever family. Forever. And they're like, we got each other's back. We love each other. We are in this together. We're all in this together.

SPEAKER_04

Once you know that we are, we're all stars and we see that.

unknown

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. So anyway, there's a knock on the door. Elijah! Who is it? And Elena looks at Trevor and she's like, You're scared.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So that would mean for her, a five-year-old five-year-old.

SPEAKER_05

500-year-old vampire.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05

Is terrified.

SPEAKER_01

A 500-year-old vampire is terrified. So you should be terrified, bitch. And she's feeling it. She is feeling it. She's like, oh fuck, what am I? What?

unknown

Huh?

SPEAKER_05

She does do a great job in the scene when she meets Eliza. Like she you can see her whole body like visibly shaking. Like she does a great job.

SPEAKER_01

She's Nina Tobrev is a I honestly think a very good actress. Yeah, she'd be great. Anyway, anyway, the door opens and he's all proper and he's in a suit and he like the way he walks, the way he speaks. Like, describe Elijah for us, Desiree.

SPEAKER_05

She is just a tall drink of water that exudes class and elegance, and he's in a tailored tux, and he always opens holds open a door for a woman. He always pulls out a seat. He always takes care of the check. He's that kind of guy. But also, if you're walking out and he has a date on his arm and you look at your date wrong, his date wrong, he's gonna fuck you the fuck up. In the most gentlemanly, calm, respectful slitting of a throat you'll ever see.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, ever. That you'll ever see.

SPEAKER_05

It is, and you're like, he does it so well that you're just like, thanks, babe. Thanks for murdering him for me. Thank you. You're so attractive. Oh my god. And he'll gently wipe his hands on his handkerchief, put it away, and say, Shall we carry on? Mm-hmm. And he'll apologize for having to witness that. There's no slouching.

SPEAKER_01

He's no, there's no there's no pants sagging. No tailored. No, he's perfection. And he even he like when he sees Rose, full name. Yep. He says her full name. He's like, is there somewhere we can talk? He's like dignified.

SPEAKER_05

Yes, so dignity. It's like he's royal.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, though, yeah. He gives royalty. He's just like real fuck.

SPEAKER_05

They are the royal family, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_01

They are. Okay. They are. Anyway, she's he's like sits down all regally. And he's like, go ahead. Like, tell me what's up.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, what do you got?

SPEAKER_01

And she's like, Well, I'm tired of running, obviously. It's been a minute. And he's like, Well, I'm assuming it's about Catherine. Because when I heard from you, I would assume that's what this is about. She's like, Well, kind of. I found a doppelganger. And he's like impossible. That's impossible. I explained. Yeah. And she's like, Well, that was wrong, because there is one. And I he so he basically says he will grant her freedom. Will pardon her for what her her very specifically. He's very careful with his words. He always is.

SPEAKER_05

He's like, I will grant you your request.

SPEAKER_01

Mm-hmm. And he she, yeah, and so she's like, I found Catherine. She's alive. She survived everything that happened. Because to them, like she staged her death. So, in essence, some people really thought Catherine had died.

SPEAKER_03

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

And she's like, But there is this person. Oh, let me see it. Mm-hmm. So he he gives his word. And then he sees Elena. Like he they go into the room and he sees her and he like vamps to her really fast. And then he like gets really close to her. Oh. And he leans into her neck a little and like takes this big X. Like this big inhale. And uh it's it shouldn't be hot.

SPEAKER_05

But it is hot.

SPEAKER_01

Because it's followed up with hello there. And I'm like, flurgan, flurgen, flurgin' flaggin' flag.

SPEAKER_02

And then a gentle.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like, I can excuse how hot you are besides this hair that you have because of everything else that you are. Like I will look past this.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, I don't even see the hair.

SPEAKER_01

It's so hard. Um, but this gives us a key here. Now he is an original, so he's stronger, more powerful. There's things about originals, obviously. But we talk about, you know, the heartbeat a lot. Yeah and how how are they not noticing? Elijah came up, didn't listen for her heart.

SPEAKER_05

Just smelled her.

SPEAKER_01

Smelled her. So I'm like, what is that? What are we doing here? What does it all mean, Basil?

SPEAKER_05

Warm human blood, maybe.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, like it's like there's a difference in scent between two. Maybe like a regular vampire, like maybe someone Stefan's age and strength level can't read that out. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Maybe, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

But that's something I picked up on the fact that we always talk about how they're not noticing if Catherine's, you know, being Lena. Yeah, so I was like, that's a little toppy toppy kick.

SPEAKER_05

Because he knew she was human.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

From his sexy ass inhaling.

SPEAKER_01

From this inhaling of her neck face.

SPEAKER_05

And she was terrified because she was like, Oh, he's abite me.

SPEAKER_01

She's terrified. He bite me. Terrified.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she's a great, you see her because this is a close-up shot of the two of them, and you see her visibly like shaking. Like, she does a great job.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And uh while that's happening, while Elijah has arrived, Stefan and Damon have arrived at the spot they're gonna get out and start walking.

SPEAKER_04

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Stefan's got all his goody hunter goodies, and Damon's like, whoa, you're just gonna walk in there? And Stefan's like, yeah, I'm gonna go save Lena. Yeah. And he's like, you could like die. And they're like 500 year old plus vampires who are pissed off and probably very strong. If you're just gonna walk in there, and Stefan's just like, can't think of a better reason to die. You can stay here though. Oh, so I'll go alone. I don't need you. I'm gonna do this. And I'm like, you're not thinking about that.

SPEAKER_05

It's all I want, is just a man to love me like that.

SPEAKER_01

Stefan's love.

SPEAKER_05

That's all I want.

SPEAKER_01

Like, should have poetry written about it. Okay, it's like it's insane. Like, I don't understand how there are Stefan haters. I sent you a video recently of a man hating on Stefan. I know. And I was like, I'm wrong. So mad.

SPEAKER_03

So wrong.

SPEAKER_01

You're wrong. I'm sorry that but you're wrong. And I will debate it with you. I will sit in a room with you and I will debate with you because I will go toe to toe with you. Because you're wrong. I won't hide from it because I'm right. And I have all the girls. I will. Anyway. Um, so Elijah's like, we gotta go. We have stuff to do. We're gonna go. We're gonna take Elena with me. It's fine. Anyway, Trevor's like meanwhile, behind them, and he's like, Hey, Elijah, like, I'm really sorry. I feel really bad.

SPEAKER_05

Pleading his case, this whole thing.

SPEAKER_01

And he's really sad. He's sorry and he's scared. And Rose is up like on the staircase standing, watching, and the message. And and Elijah's like, Well, listen, like, I can respect what Rose did because she was being loyal to you. Where was your loyalty, Trevor? And Trevor's like, I'm I'm so sorry. And he's like, I forgive you. And Trevor gives a slight smile.

SPEAKER_05

And then Elijah chops his head off.

SPEAKER_01

Clean off. With his hand. He cuts it off with his hand.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

He just is free now. Rose's reaction was so sad.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, she like screamed, cried. It was so.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I mean, she's been run on the run with her best friend family for 500 years. The only person she's been with for 500 years. That would since that would be like you're losing part of yourself.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, 100%.

SPEAKER_01

Like, oh my God. Like, and she gave a good, she gave a good sad guttural cry. She does. She's like, and he was like, Rose, don't even think about it. Because she like has like an emotion to like r retaliate. And he's like, yeah, no. And she's like, Yeah, you're right. That would be stupid.

SPEAKER_05

Yep. Because you would get it. Or you'd end up like him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you would just die.

SPEAKER_05

So it's like, well, like I gave you your pardon. And so you aceed it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And Elena's like, you know, because he's gonna take Elena. And she's like, Well, what about the moonstone? She's frantic. She's thinking of ways out of this situation. She's like, I'm gonna give him up with something. Moonstone. He's like, How do you know about that? She's like, I know where it is. But you and he's like, you can tell me. And she he's like, he's like, Are you negotiating with me?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, it was so cute.

SPEAKER_01

I was like, so good. What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05

And so he rips off her neck.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's like, What is this around your neck? I'm gonna take it. So you're being me right now. You're imitating me. Um, so she he she he rips the necklace off of her.

SPEAKER_02

Sorry guys.

SPEAKER_01

Um anyway, so um, yeah, Rose is like, this is the first I've heard about it, dude. Like, I don't know what's going on. I just grabbed her, okay? That's all I'm doing here.

SPEAKER_00

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

And so he takes the revain off, and then Elena discloses, obviously through compulsion, that it's with Catherine in the tomb. Yep. And that sucks for her. No more leverage. Nope. Um, because you know, he can do what he wants to do. But anyway, they hear some zippy zippy zippy zippy zippy zappy zippy. So there's vamping about yes, and he's like, Who else is here? And Rosa's like, I don't, I straight up don't know.

SPEAKER_05

She's like, literally, I have no idea. She's like, This was not my plan. My plan, her.

SPEAKER_01

My plan, get her, get you here, get out. I don't have anybody else here. I promise. Swear, cross my heart. Please don't hurt me. And I'm also sad right now. I'm in shock. Um, yeah, and so they kind of move out of the room, and then Elena gets grabbed, and Stefan like pushes her against a wall and like shishes her really close to her face. It's so hot.

SPEAKER_05

You guys, it's basically porn at this point. Like, come on. It is just disrespectful.

SPEAKER_01

It's so disrespectful.

SPEAKER_05

God, he's so hot. It's God.

SPEAKER_01

I know we're we're upset about it, especially with the hoodie. It's just hot. Like, what are we even saying to each other right now?

SPEAKER_05

I'm watching it and I'm like, I don't I the things that make me feel in my body, it just infuriates me. Absolute infuriation.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. He's definitely one of my biggest fictional crushes of all time. Same.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like obsessed with him. Anyway, so Elijah, also being sexiest book, is down there going, like, uh, you can't hide from me. I want the girl, I'm gonna get the girls. So all literally heads are gonna roll. Like the yeah, yeah, yeah is up in the showcase. So I'm gonna need y'all to give me your heads all roll. Anyway, so Elena comes out onto the staircase in the upper part of it, and she's looking at him and she's like, I'll come with you, just don't hurt my friends. And then grenade.

SPEAKER_05

She throws one of the Ravane grenades at him.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and then he's like, What the fuck? And he's like screaming, and then Stefan comes out, oh, with that little like stake shooter thing. Yeah, and he's just shooting. And he couldn't be hotter if he tried. And uh Elijah's just like taking it like this is fine.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like you guys, this is nothing.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, but then Stefan, as he's shooting, he tackles him and they roll down the staircase. And then Damon comes in and pins him aga Elijah against the wall and stakes him with a coat rack thing.

SPEAKER_05

A wooden coat rack. And he dies.

SPEAKER_01

And he dies. Elijah died really quick. Which by our reactions of Elijah, you know that um that's not gonna last. Obviously. But they think he's dead. Yes, they think that. And Rose thinks it too. And Rose is like, hey, and and Elena says, Hey, please just let her go. Like, she's fine. Like Elena recognizes what happened and that Rose isn't bad. She was doing it for self-preservation. She's not like a bad person. What she's doing is bad, but she's not like a bad person. So she's like, Don't just let's go. Let's go.

SPEAKER_05

Everyone goes to your seats.

SPEAKER_01

And she does run down to Stefan and gives him this beautiful hug, and he's like, Are you okay? And he's so concerned and sweet and amazing. And then they steal the Stelena moment to give a little bit of a Delena people stuff. And I'm like, Oh my god. Stop taking their moments, stop making Stellena moments, any kind of Delena moment.

SPEAKER_05

It pisses me off. I really don't like it.

SPEAKER_01

She like looks up and like looks at Damon and mouths, thank you.

SPEAKER_05

And he says, You're welcome.

SPEAKER_01

Why are you staring at Damon? I'm fine.

SPEAKER_05

Seriously, when you got all that man candy in your arms, like what are you doing?

SPEAKER_01

What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05

You have a man here who sacrificed his I literally wouldn't be able to see anybody but him. People would talk to me and be like, I don't, you don't have a face.

SPEAKER_01

You're a lamp.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. You're a lamp.

SPEAKER_01

That's what you are now. So because I'm with this honka man.

SPEAKER_05

This angel from God.

SPEAKER_01

I mean for fucking serious. For fucking serious.

SPEAKER_05

Chiseled to perfection. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, I'm fine. Everybody's fine. We're all relaxed. We're chill. Everybody thinks we're chill.

SPEAKER_05

No one's concerned about our mental health. No.

SPEAKER_01

Surrounding our obsession with Stephens Salvador.

SPEAKER_05

We're fully functional adults.

SPEAKER_01

I just don't take their moments. I don't know. I know we have strong Stelena moments without Damon in them, obviously.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But this is a good thing.

SPEAKER_01

But they really start pushing the love triangle angle and I'm over it.

SPEAKER_05

I'm over it as well.

SPEAKER_01

Anyway, so Jeremy is home and Elena comes in and and she hugs Bonnie and she hugs Jeremy and the hug her and her brother have is so sweet and wonderful. And I'm like, yeah, I remember Damon killed him. Remember that time?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, when you were just googly eyeing him, but remember he killed your brother?

SPEAKER_01

Remember when he did that? Do you remember?

SPEAKER_05

Because I do, bitch.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody's remembering. Okay. Anyway, um, Damon's drinking uh some whiskey, some bourbon. Whiskey. And he's like, Well, where's Elena? And Stefan's like, she's at home, she wanted to be with her brother, so she stayed with Jeremy, and I'm gonna respect that because I'm a sweet angel pancake. Yep. And anyway, um, they learned more about the curse because Elena told him what she learned.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And so Stefan's like, hey, listen, Damon, we can't be fighting actually. This is we need each other. This isn't gonna work out. Um, because if we're fighting each other, we need to be fighting this, not us. And winter is coming. Winter is coming. And he's not wrong. Like, I I don't know. I I just feel like when you're in these situations like life or death, every little trivial thing stops mattering as much. It's like last time I was saying, like fictional men, like it's like, okay, well, when you're married in the regular world and your worries are lower and you have like stability, you have you know a roof over your head, you can pay for your groceries, you're gonna worry about things that are trivial more often than if you're like, um, you know, survival or survival is survival. Yeah. So he's like, that's where we need to be, yeah. Right now, none of this, none of this other stuff matters.

SPEAKER_05

So frivolous. Like, shit's about to go down, and we need to be on the same team right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And so in that vein, he tells him he's sorry. He apologized. He's like, I've never said this to you. I should have. I need to say it. You need to hear it. I'm really sorry for making you turn. I didn't want to be alone, and I needed my brother.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So everybody that bitches about Stefan doing that, yes, it's not cool, but it's also like, come on.

SPEAKER_05

Also, he took accountability.

SPEAKER_01

So he takes accountability, he feels fucking bad about it. He wanted his, he's a little brother, he wanted his big brother. Yeah. And he also didn't force him technically. He enticed him strongly.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. I realize that there's a there's a fine line there, but it's it's just like Damon made his choices, and also he like clearly likes being a vampire right now. Like fine.

SPEAKER_05

Also, if he wanted to end it, he could have ended it.

SPEAKER_01

And in that episode, that we find that out that that happened, Damon expresses that's that not why he's mad. That's not why he's mad. No, he's mad that Catherine turned Stefan.

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

He's not mad that he turned. He expressed it, he said it himself in that episode in season one. So I'm just saying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You're not wrong. She's not wrong.

SPEAKER_01

Um anyway. Caroline and Tyler having a drink. She's like, Alcohol helps.

SPEAKER_05

Yep.

SPEAKER_01

Soot the cravings. He's like, I'm on fire. And she's like, but it's not me. I'm like definitely cold because I'm dead. And he's like a wolf, so he's like really hot, which I already know because of Jacob Black. So you know, wolves be running hot, vampires be cold.

SPEAKER_05

And mammals.

SPEAKER_01

Um, yeah, I guess, yeah. So, and and they both are very emotional. She's talking about being heightened, how she was heightened, and Tyler's like, Oh, yeah, same. Which, yeah, his is mostly like very angry. Yeah. He's got a lot of the anger.

SPEAKER_05

Sure does.

SPEAKER_01

And he's asking questions, which is, you know, you know, reasonable. Yeah. He's like, So who else is a vampire? Like you? Like, how are you even a vampire? Like, oh, and she's like, Oh, it's just a long story. Um, we'll get into it later. But it's just me. Nobody else is a vampire, just me.

SPEAKER_05

But just me.

SPEAKER_01

Don't even worry about it.

SPEAKER_05

But also just me.

SPEAKER_01

And then she asks him, or is there any more people like you? And he's like, Well, yeah, just me. Well, and my uncle. But he left. And I'm like, he's so honest because he wants to, he wants to commend commensurate. He wants to like have this bond and have someone to turn to with these crazy ass things he's learning about. Yeah. And he's not getting it because she can't say anything. So she has to lie, which is really sad for him and for her.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's a really shitty situation because you should be bonding. You should be able to like be like, let's share this burden together of the fucking crazy ass shit that we've just currently, very recently learned about and that's changed within ourselves. Yeah. But no, we can't talk about it.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You totally cannot kill me with your bite. So don't even think about it.

SPEAKER_01

Don't even don't even think about it. You can't hurt me. I can't happen. I can hurt you. I'm stronger, remember? Remember how I'm stronger? Fine. Anyway, so Stefan's at home being sexy as fuck. And zip-zap. Vamp, vamp, vamp, zip, zip-ide, zap-di. And then Rose is there in the colour boarding house. And she's like, I'm not here to hurt you. Lexi told me about you.

SPEAKER_05

How is she allowed to get in?

SPEAKER_01

Because you just can. There's nobody that owns the house. Zach died. Uncle nephew Zach, he died. So vampires can just walk in. I thought they did. Nope. Nope. Vampires can just come on in. And um he's like, wait, you know Lexi? She's like, Yeah, she said you were one of the good ones. So here I am. And he's like, I can't like how I can't like help you. Yeah. And she's like, Well, I can help you.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So I'm here to help because I my whole life just got blown up. Like, yes, I'm free, but my best friend and my family just got murdered. So I have nowhere to fucking go.

SPEAKER_05

Also, after I kidnapped your girlfriend, she like let me go.

SPEAKER_01

So yeah. So I'm just saying, like, come on. And um, she kind of talks to him about um she's like Elizabeth. People are gonna be coming for Elena, the originals. And he's like Elijah's dead. Yeah. But um It's Klaus. We get it. She's not his name of the fuckers.

SPEAKER_02

Ugh.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody's doing it for Klaus. Everybody's doing it for Klaus. All of this is happening for Klaus. Yeah, bitches, bitches and hoes. Okay, sorry, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_05

I am his bitch and hoe, that's for sure.

SPEAKER_01

Straight fucking up. Everything's fine.

SPEAKER_05

Name dropped though. We're getting there, guys. We're getting there. We're getting there.

SPEAKER_01

We're gonna talk about him now. He's gonna be something we can actually talk about, and we don't just bring up for no reason.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so anyway, Elena's getting ready for bed, and Damon's in her room. He's holding her Vervain necklace that Stefan gave her, and she's like, Oh, I thought that was lost. He's like, I have it, but I want to tell you something. And she's like, Why can't I have my necklace though? Like, why can't I have that one?

SPEAKER_05

Why can't you tell me with my necklace on?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so I'm a little concerned. Anyway, he says that he's gonna say something more selfish than he's ever said, and been more selfish than he's ever been, and that he's in love with her, but Stefan's the right guy for her, and he's not wrong, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

And then makes her forget all of it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's like, I wish you didn't have to forget this, but you do. And it's like a very romantic Delena scene. I get it. It is, but it and I do feel like good. Yes, he erased her memory. Yes. So, but he's already tried to kiss the girl. Kiss the girl, sorry. Anyway, whoa, whoa. Um, so he's already done, he's already overstepped. So it's good he's pulling back. I can respect that. He does he feels the need for himself to tell her that out loud, but he does take it away from her brain, so that's good because yeah, it is selfish, it's incredibly selfish. The way he reacts in this whole situation, in this whole triangle is incredibly selfish. So self. I'm like, you're not being a good brother or friend.

SPEAKER_05

Nope.

SPEAKER_01

But he's like, I don't deserve you, and my brother does. I'm like, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01

I know you you try to redeem yourself, you do things to try and be better, but it's not your place to try and be better for your boyfriend, your boyfriend, your brother's girlfriend. It's not your place. Nope. You're not going to improve for someone that's already fucking taken by someone you're supposed to love and respect. Your brother.

SPEAKER_05

Fucking preach, but be better for you.

SPEAKER_01

Be a better person for you. Yep, and then guess what? And let the children fall with Amen.

SPEAKER_05

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_05

Fucking amen.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just saying. Okay. Anyway, the end of the episode hasn't happened yet. One more thing. Um, we see Elijah, he's pinned against the wall with a stake in his heart, and then he starts to become ungray and veiny as they look when they've desiccated. And he pulls the um stake out of his chest, and he's just still fully alive after having been.

SPEAKER_05

Classy as fuck.

SPEAKER_01

Classy as fuck. Always classy as fuck. And then we're like, oh, you can't kill him with staking him with wood? Well, okay. Uh-oh. This guy's fucking strong and scary. You're right, right.

SPEAKER_05

SPEAKER_02

Okay, let's do it.

SPEAKER_01

Now I thought about this, and we can debate them, but I was thinking strictly character driven, okay, not actor. You can say if you would smash actor, but no, but like I think it should be based on characters.

SPEAKER_05

Let's just do character.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, first, Jeremy.

SPEAKER_02

Overall, he's a good guy. And I'm not sure. He's a good guy.

SPEAKER_01

He's a good friend. I'm just like he's a boyfriend. I'm not into it. But he is cute. His voice is very appealing to me. Like the way he speaks, he should be like a voice actor. Um Smash.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, my favorite part of the episode is probably the introduction of Elijah meeting Elena. Same. I think that was my favorite part.

SPEAKER_05

That's my favorite too.

SPEAKER_01

It's a good part. Least favorite part. Is there any cringe stuff or was it just sad?

SPEAKER_05

Well it's just sad, man.

SPEAKER_01

I think the sad, yeah, because there was nothing in there that made me go, oh, this is stupid.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I think it would be Trevor.

SPEAKER_05

It doesn't say the same thing, yeah. Or in the yeah, we're same Z for today.
