Is it just me .....the only ppl who dislike the show right now and this episode inparticular the last remaining stelena shippers? I'm getting that vibe. Lol. Anyways, Caroline can cry cuz Its understandable and hope she does it on Tylers shoulder ;). I missed Kat and thunk she's slightly underused. Love luv luv Rebecca and Stefan, she has a nice backbone and her n Stefan are crazy hawt. Delena is slow but steady, such a better build then the alternative. Slow and steady wins the race.....great episode and season IMO

This is getting ridiculous. I want the old Stefan back, Claus to disappear (along with his slutty sister), and things to get back to Mystic Falls. I don't care about what happened in Chicago, or about Stefan and Rebecca's relationship. I want my vampire family to come home!!

An excellent episode, as always. I must admit that I didn't care much for Klaus ever since his introduction. I saw him as a cliched evil manipulative a$$ and I've been calling for the series to kill off since he finally appeared on screen. However, Klaus has been redeeming himself all of season 3, becoming deeper as a character, and along with everyone else getting more of a history, he's not that boring "I do bad things for no reason because I'm just evil! RAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!" character anymore.

AMAZING episode. this season keeps me guessing and the plot twists are really keeping me entertained. i love katherine, hope she sticks around more. next week's ep looks good! can't wait to see it, and bonnie's back (finally). loved the flashbacks of the 20s and Delena's roadtrip and klaus' backstory. love this show!

I loved this episode and felt it was long due. I agree that there is always a bigger badder and its annoying. Kat is after stefan and I don't think she is helping elena, just herself.
I think that necklace and stefan loving rebecca was a nice twist. I found it believable and all around good. I do think stefan would take to elena that way because he loves her and is trying to protect her. And after all he did she is getting too close to being discovered.
Emotionally, this will help her grow. and it will help her better understand damon...and stefan. Damon was evil so she can help him 'try'. and she won't look at stefan as she was just a child/innocent. she will see him for what he is. In the end this will be better for them, and damon will help her accept them as they are because of his struggle. I like this because damon is who he is...abet trying to be good. The added tension with rebecca will make a nice road change. and also add someone else for kat to be jealous of.

really interesting stuff here, but I really LOVE Katherine. And the reason she's in Chicago isn't b/c she's there for Elena, it's b/c she stalks Stefan. lmao Flashback anyone? XD

This episode defiantly has some amazing twists, elenas necklace was originally an originals, this new guy, and I agree Katherine shouldnt even be considered a villain anymore. All she does now is help Elena

One of the best episodes yet. Love that Stefan finally told Elena off!!! I like where theyrr taking him. I really love Rebecca already and think they seem hotter then him and elena. Stefan said the line of the series in reference to him and Elena ....."it will never be the same". No shipping here but its painfully obvious that these two wont be ending up together. Gotta admit they make a snooz fest of a pair. Loved caroline and tyler right now. Have a feeling damon will finally get his girl in the end.
Okay, first Catherine was the big bad character... Then we learn that she is running from someone : Elijah.
But then we find out that Elijah is under the orders of the evil Klaus.
And - guess what - Klaus is actually also running from someone !!!! -___-'
Seriously, where is it going to end ? THE DEVIL himself ?! This is getting ridiculous !
I understand that 'bad characters' always have a reason to do what they do (they're not just 'plain bad' or 'born bad') : but, damn, can these writers find something else than the pathethic 'i'm running from someone' excuse ?!

i liked the episode it was scary how elena was hiding in the secret room of stefans apartment when klaus and stefan showed up and klaus opened the door and almost saw elena but stefan saw her and made sure he didn't.i was shocked to find out that stefan and klaus knew each other and they were actually good friends and stefan wanted to be his sidekick.it was sad how elena loves stefan and wouln't stop looking for him and when they talk he tells her to stop looking for him and he wasn't coming back.i was also suprised that klaus who's a hybrid and unstoppable is running from someone so that means theres someone scarier and stronger than him out there.i really liked that carolines mom came in to save her and almost shot her dad when he tried to stop tyler from getting her.i can't believe that carolines dad would hurt her even though she's a vampire now i mean she's still his daughter she's still the same caroline the only difference is that she' a vampire now and he said that blood contr

This episode was terrible. I cannot believe Stefan would talk that way to Elena, I was crying when she teared up. I undertstand he's doing this to protect her from Klaus but really he needs to come back to her very soon. As far as him and Rebecca, that was not beliavable at all. I mean what they showed about Stefan in the past and what he is now, it's like totally 2 differnt people and I don't believe it at all. As far as Damon getting his butt kicked by Klaus, he totally deserves it and I didn't feel bad at all, as he is the reason Stefan is now with Klaus and killing people and cannot go back to his normal self, so Damon gets what he deserves. I hope Stefan has a plan of how to go back home soon and Elena better not run to Damon for comfort now, as that would be sooo lame.

I really don't think this mystery person that Klaus is so afraid of is his biological werewolf father. A werewolf is not immortal and could easily be killed by Klaus so I doubt that Klaus would have spent hundreds and hundreds of years running from a werewolf. My guess is that this "person" hunting Klaus and the rest of originals has something to do with the story of how the original family even became vampires in the first place. Then again...this show has done crazier things so I could be completely wrong.
Even though most of the people commenting have been quick to disagree with you Matt about Klaus's reasoning behind creating an army of hybrids I am still undecided. Klaus did seem terrified but I can't tell whether he is scared because no army means no protection, or if no army means seriously pissing someone off.

I for one was delighted to see Katherine! She's SO much fun to watch! And I love Nina for playing this two roles so perfectly. I mean I'm not interested in Elena very much! It's not that I don't like her but she's well... normal. And I'm tired of seeing both brothers going bonkers about her!! (I mean what in the world is so special about her??) So Nina makes a hell of a job to make me love Katherine so much and not even sligthly interested in Elena and her love life! I don't care if she takes Stefan or Damon...maybe in the end neither of them will want HER :P (I'd find that really funny^^) Elena can settle with Matt or someone else (aka uninportant character) Let's see but I predict that Stefan will go back to his precious Elena sometime and Damon should consider a woman more at his eye level!
I LOVED the episode! I must agree it COULD get boring if there were even more anonymous people behind this whole Klaus story but I think I can tolerate one more person behind the curtain!^^ I

Q: Who do you feel bad for Klaus, Stefan, Elena, or Caroline?
None of the above. Klaus can rule the world, Stefan is too emo and I'm sick of seeing Elana and Caroline play helpless! How bout Damon? Thats who I felt bad for, poor guy, he may be a sarcastic little s**t but he is the moral compass to this story. He cares about Elena, he cares about his brother, he keeps getting his butt kicked for both of them and whats the prize if he comes out the "winner" his brother gets elena. Yup poor Damon.
Of course I think it'd be a real kick in the butt if elena ends up with Klaus! Hey why not stranger things have happened :)

Stefan didnt fall in love with elena because he was compelled to forget Rebecca...he fell in love with Elena because HE FELL IN LOVE WITH ELENA.
His love for her is far stronger than anything else, hence, he had to let her go in order to save her life. AGAIN.

@Pratik: Shows are rated on their own. They aren't compared to other shows on TV.
In other words: a 5.0 rating for VD means it's the absolute best possible episode that VD could ever air.
Make sense?
So Klaus and Stefan were buddies in the good old days. I didn't see that one coming. How cool is that? I have to say Nick is quickly becoming my second favourite character on this show :) and it's totally awesome that they called him Nick, btw. It's fun to see that he's actually capable of making friends. Feeling something at all, for that matter. Stefan was a loose end, but insted of just killing him, Kaus made him forget. And the look on his face when Rebecca chose Stefan - heartbreaking. (Seriously, what is it with girls always choosing Stefan over the other guy? It's getting old...).
For the love of God, Elena! Just stop with this "I can't give up on you" stuff! If she wants to get herself killed, that's fine, but can she just think of other people for a second? Like Stefan? I dare say he's much safer doing what Klaus wants. What the hell is she thinking? That Stefan can just leave and Klaus would be ok with that? Last season she was willing to die because she learned the blood
I don't think "The nameless vampire hunter" is Klaus' biological father. I think he's the Original father (Rebecca said Klaus has killed 'most of the Originals'). Since Klaus' real father is not the Original father, the nameless vampire hunter has a motive to kill Klaus if he is papa Original, since he's alleged son is really a bastard.
