After the one week rest from TVD, this TV series came back with a bang!
TV Fanatic: In a dueling montage to open “Plan B,” the actress was stuck making out with half-naked versions of both Paul Wesley and Taylor Kinney. The poor girl. It’s a living, we guess.
Those sexy scenes were a couple of the only light moments in an especially dark, shocking, exciting episode of the show.Let’s start with my one complaint: the reveal of Mason and Katherine’s relationship was a bit lame. Bonnie simply bumped into the werewolf and saw a vision of him kissing the evil doppleganger. Had we even seen her use this power before? It always seemed like she simply sensed whether or not someone was human, but that was the extent of the ability.
A show about supernatural beings always has to be careful about making up rules/powers as it goes along.
Still, that’s a small issue because the discovery of this partnership set in motion a string of exhilarating events that changed the fortunes of almost everyone we know in Mystic Falls. To wit:
Welcome to the war, Jeremy. This character has sat on the sidelines for over a season, often just whining about his difficult life and serving as someone Elena needs to protect. But he wants to be a major player now, even if it means joining forces with the guy who snapped his neck a couple weeks ago. Hey, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.
Caroline proved her mom right. She really is a stronger, more confident teenager now. Unfortunately for the relationship between this pair, that meant she had to go through with the mind compulsion, even against her mother’s wishes. Major props to Candice Accola for her acting in this scene. She killed it (pun… intended!).
Heartache turns into heartbreak… literally! Wow. Did anyone actually expect Damon to kill Mason?!? Shades of this vampire’s humanity appeared to be coming out after he realized Mason was just like him (only less dashing and intelligent), seduced by Katherine’s charms and being manipulated. But that’s what makes Damon such an intriguing character.
He can sympathize, he can feel pain, but he can also do what needs to be done. In this case, for the sake of everyone he cares about, that meant ending Mason’s life in a manner that would make Jack Bauer nauseous. Damon can also be a smart ass, of course, and that contributed to Katherine putting her back-up plan into motion. As always, Ian Somerhalder was amazing in the scene where Damon apologized to Elena for his actions.
