The Vampire Diaries – Katherine loves Stefan loves Elena loves …

“I hear great things about you.” – Mason
“That’s weird. ‘Cause I’m a dick.” – Damon

Well, what do you know? It looks like Katherine really loves Stefan, and it was revealed to us in such a delicate way. I wonder how Stefan really felt when Katherine said, “I never compelled your love, it was real and so was mine.” Did his heartstrings tug just a little, or is he really filled with only hate? All that lovey-dovey stuff, and I’m still suspicious Katherine has another reason for being back. There are secrets buried underneath secrets on The Vampire Diaries , and it can’t be as simple as just love.

Speaking of secrets and love, I must be as gullible as Caroline is, because I completely fell for Stefan’s and Elena’s fight … well, maybe not completely. The first thing that popped into my head was, “What is Stefan talking about?” I didn’t quite understand it when he told Elena that Katherine had already come between them. What I didn’t do is make the connection they were trying to out Caroline. Well done, writers, because I was thinking we were getting a fairly hum-drum episode. I should have known they’d pull something out of their back pockets in the last minutes of the episode.

Then again, Katherine is fairly gullible as well, and I should have known she was really in love with Stefan the moment she fell for his mushy stuff, only to get her stabbed in the back … literally.

If you’ve read CliqueClack’s love triangles post, you’ll know that I wasn’t ready to consider Damon / Stefan / Elena as a love triangle, since Damon’s bit is so one-sided. After tonight’s episode, it’s definitely become a quadrangle, and I think the triad of Katherine / Stefan / Elena might be even stronger than the other three. Right now anyway … if there’s something we all know, it’s that things can change pretty fast on The Vampire Diaries.

This and that:

• It’s better that Tyler knows how to activate the curse, because maybe he’ll control his anger now. I can picture him murdering someone by accident, in a rage. Thought now Tyler’s going to wonder who his father and uncle killed, and under what circumstances. I know I am.
• Werewolves “exist in books and really bad movies.” Any dig at Twilight is a good one.
• Caroline as Katherine’s bitch isn’t nearly as entertaining as Xander as Dracula’s manservant on Buffy.
• I want to know what the moonstone is even more now that I know Katherine gave it to George Lockwood all those years ago.
• Mason’s and Damon’s interactions at the party were hilarious, though Damon went too far as usual. “Now you’ve made an enemy,” says Mason, and I do believe Damon ought to take fair warning from that statement.
• There was some product placement in there with the radio thingy in the car but I’m far too out of it to know what they were placing.
