Titled: “We have History Together”
Well, we made it. From here on out, we are in the final stretch ofVampire Diaries episodes ever. I can’t say that I’m emotionally ready to say goodbye to this series, but at least I’m excited to see how it ends. And it all starts with tonight’s episode…
“We Have History Together”: This episode title is taking it all the way back to the pilot, to the moment when Elena runs into Stefan at the cemetery. When he introduces himself, she simply responds, “I know. We have history together,” which, of course, is a fun play on words considering the Katherine/doppelgänger of it all. But in the moment, she meant it literally. They were in the same history class… and English class and French class. And in the case of tonight’s episode, it’s once again a literal meaning of the phrase, because this week, Sybil takes us back to Ric’s old stomping grounds: the history classroom at Mystic Falls High School.
After Caroline updates Elena (and us) on what’s been going on the past three weeks — Ric’s still in self-imposed witness protection with the girls, and Bonnie and Enzo are in Paris — she heads into the school on a news story assignment somehow involving the build-up to Founder’s Day. Only in reality, Sybil’s the one who got Caroline sent there, and as the new history teacher, she’s ready to teach Ms. Forbes a lesson.
Aside from using her powers to make teenagers love history — which is arguably the best thing she’s ever done — Sybil wants Caroline’s help finding a bell. And you know the gist from here: If Caroline doesn’t find the bell, Sybil will kill her history students. Like Caroline says, we get it. At this point in the show, a threat to innocent lives is basically a typical Tuesday………..
………..Actually, no. Stefan’s not happy. Instead, he’s hungry. In the episode’s final moments, Damon finds himself on the side of the road in search of the necklace, which he finds, while Stefan returns to the hospital to find his next victim … or should I say victims? By the time Damon shows back up, Stefan’s in full ripper mode.
