Alaric and Jo’s wedding is fast approaching, and you know what that means: it’s time for bachelor and bachelorette parties! Each one is lame in its own unique way.

S6E19 - Because

Stefan has his humanity back and it is time for him to bring Caroline's back too! Luckily they have a whole B&B, a double agent, and an emotional letter from beyond the grave, so they've got this! Well of course it isn't that simple. Caroline throws a couple bombs at Damon and Elena while Alaric and Jo scout this B&B as a honeymoon venue and plan their wedding. Things don't go to plan but luckily Stefan finds a smoking gun in his own memories. Meanwhile, Bonnie is hunting down the ascend...

S6E18 - I Never Could Love Like That

Lily is now in the modern world, and she’s already wreaking havoc. First of all - gasp - she is not the mother Damon remembers! And she doesn’t seem to want to be. Plus, we find out she knows Damon is withholding the cure from Elena. Oh, and one more small thing … she’s the one who turned Enzo. WHAT? Enzo tells the dramatic story to Sarah before giving up on whatever he was doing with her. Meanwhile, the humanity free brigade (Stefan and Caroline) spends the day doing karaoke and threatening to ...

S6E17 - A Bird in a Gilded Cage

It's a week of prison worlds, revenge, and sexiness this week! Steroline gets a dose of enemies to lovers, along with another lovely Caroline singing performance, Molotov cocktails, and Stefan working hard to drag Caroline right down to his level. But his level is sexy, so we are ok with it. Alaric and Enzo attempt to slow them down, but Alaric gets busy standing on Enzo's neck. Enzo reacts by changing his Sarah Salvatore approach (mostly giving up). Meanwhile, Elena, Damon, Bonnie, and Kai head...

S6E16 - The Downward Spiral

Caroline’s humanity is officially off and, to everyone’s surprise, she seems relatively fine? The most scandalous thing she does is try a new hair look and suggest everyone attend the Whitmore rave. That is, until Stefan tries to use love to trigger her humanity - then it’s straight to violence, using inspired pawns like Sarah and Liam. Meanwhile, Sarah learns Enzo is a vampire and doesn't give a fuck. Bonnie struggles with being back in the real world, while Damon struggles with the news that h...

S6E15 - Let Her Go

It's time to officially say goodbye to our dear Liz Forbes with a beautiful funeral, and all planned in one day. Caroline holds herself together suspiciously well, but we soon learn she has her own secret strategy. Damon works on the eulogy while taking breaks to give just horrible advice. Elena meanwhile is slaying, as she so rarely does lately. Alaric and Jo miss the funeral because she and Kai are both sick, which they think is due to the unconventional merge. That may be true for Kai, but Jo...

S6E14 - Stay

This week is all about the highs and lows of human emotion. From pure joy (Enzo hitting Matt with his car) to devastating despair (the death of Liz Forbes) and everything in between. On top of that, we have a Criminal Minds-esque investigation of - who else - Grayson Gilbert. Jeremy has a going away party before his departure “art school”. But most importantly, Stefan and Caroline FINALLY share a kiss (can you tell Grace is writing this synopsis?). Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers! ...

S6E13 - The Day I Tried to Live

It’s Bonnie’s birthday this week! Which would be good news if she wasn’t still (yes STILL) stuck in the prison world. Elena and Damon plan to celebrate her birthday with cake, Caroline and Stefan attempt to save the real world Miss Cuddles from the forest where Caroline left here, and Bonnie has decided to make this her last birthday ever! With Kai’s help, and newfound empathy, Bonnie’s suicide plot doesn’t stay a secret and Jeremy attempts to give her a message of hope. Liv has decided the merg...

S6E12 - Prayer for the Dying

A lot of people sure do need some prayers this week! Liz is taken to the hospital after we learn that vampire blood doesn’t cure cancer after all - it makes it worse! Elena, who famously has been a pre-med student less than a year, does not hold back her medical and magical advice, even though she should. Kai proves useful to the debacle so Damon wakes him up - for the low low cost of a Liv/Luke merge. Liv, Luke, and Jo are not thrilled by this, but Joshua is fine! After some drama and shuffling...

You're Invited In: Matt Davis is Over Party

In this minisode we discuss the controversies surrounding Matt Davis, aka him being horrible and creepy. We may be Alaric fans but first and foremost we don't like xenophobic, Trump supporting predators!

S6E11 - Woke Up with a Monster

Magic is flowing all over the place in and around Mystic Falls this week! With Kai full of magic courtesy of the travelers, he has to get a handle on all that power. Luckily, a vampire is perfect to test torture spells on. Meanwhile, Jo begins training for the merge, and while Liv and and Jo remain hopeful, pretty much everyone else is being realistic and sees the writing on the wall. But don’t worry, Luke has a plan to get out of the merge, he’ll just ask! In North Carolina, Caroline meets with...

S6E10 - Christmas Through Your Eyes

It’s Christmas in Mystic Falls, so this is a fun episode that won’t make you cry! Just kidding! Though we see flashbacks of happier Christmases, this one is tough: Bonnie is still in the Prison World, Liv and Luke are working with Kai to kidnap Jo, Matt wants to kill Enzo (and he’s being kinda weird about it), and to top it all off, Liz has terminal cancer! But on the plus side, the anti magic border is gone! Granted, that’s because Kai now has all that magic, but we needed a win. Also Stefan gi...

S6E9 - I Alone

It's a busy, Parker-centric week! Damon's compulsion of Alaric comes through and with the ascendant in hand, it seem like we are absolutely getting Bonnie back this week, right? Jeremy is not so optimistic. Liv helps Elena and Damon go to the prison world, but they do their favorite thing: dilly dally. The rest of the Parkers are worried going into the prison world will let Kai out, but no worries, he did that on his own! Meanwhile, Stefan uncovers the truth about Sarah, leading to fights with E...

S6E8 - Fade Into You

It’s Thanksgiving in Mystic Falls and in the Prison World! Caroline throws an eventful Friendsgiving at Whitmore, where we find out just how Kai, Jo, Liv, and Luke are connected. Meanwhile, Alaric, Damon, and Stefan head to Portland to look for the ascendant, and end up learning some information of their own. Over in the Prison World, Kai treats Bonnie to a thanksgiving dinner and promises to let her never see him again. But we also see a number of flashbacks that show us that we should definite...

S6E7 - Do You Remember the First Time?

Damon is back and Elena has to face her past, but man she does not want to! At the Whitmore Hospital fundraiser, Alaric and Jo enjoy a date, which ends in a clue about her past, and Elena and Liam go on a date, which ends in Liam wandering Scull Bar with a chardonnay. Damon and Elena attempt to bring her memories back, and we get to see a long awaited iconic kiss. Meanwhile, Stefan, Enzo, and Matt deal with Tripp, and Caroline is pulled in when Sheriff Forbes becomes collateral damage. Enzo take...

S6E6 - The More You Ignore Me The Closer I Get

Damon is back and ready to dive right back into his perfect life - but there’s a number of issues in his way: he left his new BFF Bonnie behind, everyone let Alaric compel Elena’s memories away, and she won’t even see him! Plus, he learns firsthand about the new hunter. Enzo, realizing Tripp is getting less patient with him, threatens to expose the group which prompts a rescue mission. Elena tries to subtly learn what’s up with Jo, but Jo is a girlboss who’s about five steps ahead. Jo and Alaric...

S6E5 - The World Has Turned and Left Me Here

It’s homecoming baby! And the theme is “random ghost woman in a corn maze”? Stefan comes home to make amends, just kidding! He’s ignoring his responsibilities and taking advantage of Caroline again, but at least she and Alaric get their chances to tell him off. In the prison world, Bonnie makes a useful discovery about Kai, but he has one more trick up his sleeve. Meanwhile, Elena takes Liam to the corn maze, and sets up Alaric and Jo, but the night takes a turn when Tyler nearly triggers his we...

S6E4 - Black Hole Sun

This week, we finally learn why Damon calls May 10 1994 his personal hell - it involves an eclipse party and the return of a character we haven't seen since season one! Plus, it leads to yet another Stefan vs Damon debate. Elena visits Stefan in Savannah, GA - he takes her to a dive bar and shows her how to fake a human life, and she gets on her unearned grief high horse. Stefan retaliates by spilling the beans about her memory loss. Meanwhile in Mystic Falls, Tripp decides to let Matt in on a n...

S6E3 - Welcome to Paradise

Now that Elena is free from the memories of her dear dead boyfriend, she's ready to party! The group gathers at the swimming hole to have fun, except for Stefan who is there to kill Enzo. Jeremy makes out with Sarah, who is suspiciously looking for her father, Elena shows off to Liam, and Liv and Tyler are apparently still doing this couple thing. Matt makes a troubling discovery about Tripp, and Stefan picks the worst of those two to support. Meanwhile, Damon and Bonnie meet someone new whereve...

S6E2 - Yellow Ledbetter

This week, we finally check on Damon and Bonnie, and find out where they went after the collapse of the Other Side and it appears to be … 1994? As they search for a way out, they begin to suspect they’re not alone. Meanwhile, in the land of the living, Elena makes the incredibly stupid decision to have Alaric compel away her memories of Damon, and everyone else makes the equally stupid decision to agree! Elsewhere, Caroline reunites with her bestie Enzo as they go “follow a lead” - instead, Enzo...

S6E1 - I'll Remember

It's the season 6 premiere and despite losing Damon and Bonnie four months ago, everyone seems to be working through their grief in a healthy way! Just kidding, can you imagine? Stefan has left town, and while this would normally be to chase a lead that is not the case this time. Elena has worked through her Bonnie grief but has a secret trick to dealing with the Damon grief, she doesn't! Jeremy is drinking the day away, Tyler is back to his anger issues (and going after the last girl we'd expec...

S5E22 - Home

It’s the season finale and it’s a big one! Bonnie actually has a plan to save almost everyone from the collapse of The Other Side, which everyone takes as a clue that dying is no big deal, and they all should feel free to do it. The list of dead people outnumbers the list of alive people, which should concern our heroes more than it does. The travelers, after 2000+ years of planning, are fooled by an open bar. Luckily, our team has a plan to explode the entire Grill - even all the chicken clubs!...

S5E21 - Promised Land

It is the penultimate episode, and Julie Plec was clearly feeling epic but not in a good way! We start with Stefan and Elena escaping traveler captivity, but not before Markos gets a whole lot of doppelgänger blood. That blood is quickly shared with the passengered townspeople in Mystic Falls, and the spell seems ready to go. With all witch magic and everyone's lives in jeopardy, people start to take desperate steps. Liv and Luke attempt to stop the spell with one quick murder, fail, and Damon t...

S5E20 - What Lies Beneath

Everyone decides they need to get their mind off the current state of affairs (Enzo “running away” and the Travelers aiming to kidnap the doppelgängers), so they take a lovely trip to the Forbes' cabin in the woods. They bring Luke to cloak their presence, but he can’t cloak them from Enzo’s vengeful ghost. Plus, thanks to the impending collapse of the other side, Enzo can physically haunt them! Caroline is suspicious of Stefan and Elena’s closeness, and Damon is suspicious of their secretive-ne...

S5E19 - Man on Fire

The travelers are finally ready to share their goal, but first they fulfill a promise to tell Enzo where Maggie is, but it is far from the answer Enzo wants. Enzo uses Liv and Luke to take Elena and Stefan hostage, and to be honest he does have the evidence to back it up. When Damon reveals his discovery that he actually met Maggie decades before, Enzo has a little bit of a meltdown but ends it with true icon behavior. Meanwhile the travelers are doing their bullshit, and reveal their plan, with...

S5E18 - Resident Evil

The Traveler’s have officially traveled to Mystic Falls, and their first order of business is installing as many passengers as possible into the townsfolk - including our dear Sheriff! Meanwhile, Damon and Elena continue their sad excuse for a breakup, made more dramatic by the fact that Stefan and Elena have started having romantic visions of each other. The source? Not the prophecy we’ve never taken seriously, but new villain Markos, who we meet but are not yet dazzled by. Liv gets support fro...

S5E17 - Rescue Me

Everyone is busy on their own missions this week! Caroline and Enzo are tracking down the only remaining Stefan doppelgänger, Tom Avery, in Atlanta, who someone else unfortunately tracked down first. Elena and Damon are at Jeremy's parent teacher conference, and of course make it all about their "breakup". Liv and Luke are done keeping secrets, but fail to kill the one person they plan to and then pick a... less than ideal team. Despite Caroline's best efforts, the travelers get the power they n...

S5E16 - While You Were Sleeping

Elena wakes up to a pretty bad day - not only has Katherine been controlling her body for three weeks, but now that she finally has it back it’s coursing with the ripper virus AND werewolf venom! She spends the day on the phone with a still-chained-up Damon - where he talks about everything BUT Aaron Whitmore. Elena quickly starts spiraling and meets a “friend of Katherine’s” named Luke - who also happens to know Liv, who, guess what, is not so new to witchcraft. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline j...

Meanwhile, our heroes try to lure Katherine to the Salvatore house with one of their dumber plans to date.
