SN11 E19:  The Chitters

Written By: Nancy Won

Okay peeps, let me start off by saying… I’m sorry.

I’m late with this review because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say.  I really didn’t want to write something terrible about The Show that I love so much.  But, I’m going to.  Yep.  All I ask is please hold off on the stone throwing until I finish saying what I have to say and have time to duck and cover.

This was what The Famdom calls a MotW (Monster of the Week) episode, but I’m calling it a “place holder” episode.  Why?  Because all it did was hold the place on Wednesday nights on The CW for The Show.  Maybe they’ve spoiled me this season and made me expect more.  But seriously, this season has been so incredibly awesome that the bar has been set a little high, and this episode slid under that bar with room to spare.

First, I was a little surprised that we were getting a MotW episode this late in the season, but then it wasn’t even a “hurt me real good” episode like … say… Red Meat was.  Oh, don’t get me wrong, I got the whole “finish line” symbolism they were going for, and I did flinch a little at that one… but did it make me hurt?  No.

I also totally got the whole dual brothers sitch too.  I did wince a little at that one.  But it didn’t make my feels beg for mercy… it didn’t even make my eyes glisten a little.  And, I guess that was the biggest problem.

I want them to emotionally compromise me.  And, this week they didn’t even come close.  I want them to make me feel like this….

(source unknown)

And this week, I just wasn’t feeling it.  At. All.

But, next week…. next week, we get The Return of Chuck.  I’m sure I’ve made my opinion on this completely obvious, but just in case you’ve missed it…. God is coming next week!  So. Can’t. Wait.

Vampire Diaries SN7 EP17 – ‘ Somebody I Used To Know ‘

SN7 EP19: Somebody I Used To Know

Written By: Holly Brix (teleplay) & Matthew D’Ambrosio (story)

Directed By: Chris Grismer

So, way back at the beginning of the season, when they were showing us glimpses of “Three Years From Now”, we saw that Bonnie and Enzo were a couple.  I’ve got to admit that my mouth fell open and the words “Bonnie and Enzo? How the hell did THAT happen?” fell out.  Well, this week, they showed us.  And, I gotta admit… I’d’ve fell for Enzo too.  Yep, sure would’ve.  So… Go Bonnie!

Also this week, Damon has a plan for how to save Bonnie… what do you mean “from what?”  Ya know, cause Enzo’s been giving the woman he loves pills that will kill her.  Jeebus, keep up for crying out loud.

So, anyways…. Throughout the episode we see glimpses of The Romancing of Bonnie.  Enzo did a really good job of that bt-dubbs.  These glimpses are sprinkled like sugar throughout Damon, Enzo, and Bonnie’s carrying out of Damon’s plan.  Damon and Enzo made Rayna an offer she couldn’t refuse.  They’ll hunt and kill the vamps that escaped the Phoenix Stone in exchange Rayna will give up her last life and let Bonnie have it.  So, as Damon calls them … Bonnie, Clyde and Clyde go vamp hunting.

Meanwhile in Dallas, Stefan goes to see Ric.  The younger Salvatore brother is trying to suss out a few tidbits about Caroline’s life the last three years.  During this enlightening visit, Damon calls.  He needs help helping Bonnie.  Stefan and Ric agree to help cause… well… it’s Bonnie.  So, they go searching out other vamps that Rayna can see what they see.

Throughout the vamp hunting and the sugar sprinkling, we periodically see that Bonnie still has Damon’s letter.  Ya know, the one he wrote her to say goodbye before he went off to desiccate in a coffin next to Elena’s for the past three years.  For the past three years, Bonnie has refused to open it… she’s carried it around UNOPENED for THREE FREAKIN’ YEARS.  I mean, how in the hell hasn’t the curiosity killed her yet?  Seriously, am I the only one absolutely DYING to know what’s in that damn letter?  Also, throughout the hunting and the sprinkling, Ric and Stefan have some serious heart to hearting going on.  Stefan throws a big huge barb … “Who’s sleeping in the second bedroom?”  That’s right, Stefoline shippers… Caroline isn’t sleeping with her fiance.  Nope.  And, there’s a Justice of the Peace appointment on “Friday”.  And, Stefan asks Ric if after the appointment, Caroline is going to start sleeping in his bed.  I said ouch for Ric…. but inside my Stefoline shipping heart was giggling with maniacal glee.

In this episode, we find out what’s in that vault in the deep dark bellows of The Armory.  Well, some of what’s in there.  Alex and Virginia St. John’s other sister.  Virginia forced Lucy Bennett to seal the vault.. and sister # 3 is also stuck behind door #1.  Alex needs a Bennett witch to unseal the vault to save sister #3.  Right after that, we learn that Bonnie only has about a week…maybe less.

And, once Bonnie, Clyde, and Clyde all get back to Enzo’s little hidden love nest, we get our best line of the episode.  It comes right at the end of the episode.  While Enzo and Bonnie … do we have a ship name for them yet? Cause, I’m leaning toward Bonzo.  C’mon, it just falls off the tongue, right?…. are getting all mushy romantic, Damon says, “Don’t mind me, I’ll just go get another name out of the job jar.”  It’s funny, cause ya know, the ‘job jar’ is Rayna.

Next week, it’s another new episode, and I’m not sure what excites me more.. another new episode or that during that episode we get a sneak peek at Captain America: Civil War!  My little ol’ geek heart just can’t decide.

The Originals SN3 EP18 – ‘ The Devil Comes Here And Sighs ‘

SN3 EP18:  The Devil Comes Here and Sighs

Written By:  Kyle Arrington & Michelle Paradise

Directed By:  Jesse Warn

The backdrop of this episode was the NOLA Jazz & Music festival which added a sense of fun even if The Mikaelsons were dealing with dire straights.  The Win10 hybrid Lucien was trying once again to romance, in his totally unstalkerish creepy way, Klaus’ crazy ex-girlfriend by giving her a jar of blood.  How romantic.

In said jar was the blood of a Mikaelson witch (Freya) and a little extra to make Aurora a Win10 hybrid too.  Aurora totally has him wrapped around her finger, saying she’ll drink the blood if he agrees to save her brother or end his suffering.  Which of course means that Lucien would have to kill Elijah.  Ya know, since his sire bond is still intact.

Klaus goes after Lucien.  Now, you gotta understand here.  Klaus isn’t used to being anything but the Baddest of all the BAMF’s on the planet.  I mean his mantra has always been “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death… blah blah blah… I’m the baddest S.O.B in the valley.”  And shock of all shocks, he gets his BAMF ass handed to him….and Lucien ties him up with some chains and stuff that has come kind of witchy stuff going on so that Klaus can’t escape.  Kinky, I know.

On the Kol front, Davina gets help from Marcel and Vincent.  But, Vincent gets knocked down to size when he finds out he’s no longer The Ancestors’ choice for regent.  He’s been voted out of the cemetery and there’s a new Regent in town.  But, Marcel convinces Kol to “do the right thing” and leave NOLA and get out of The Ancestors’ power range.  As soon as Kol crosses the city limit sign though he starts to desiccate and has to come back into the realm of The Ancestors.

Back across town, Lucien leaves Klaus in the company of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Aurora while he goes off to take care of Elijah.  Now, Elijah has agreed to meet Lucien even though he knows it’s a trap.  But, he doesn’t come alone.  He brings Freya and a whole lot of Strix members with him.  And, although Freya temporarily binds Lucien to a spot on the floor… they eventually have to run for their lives, since The Ancestors like Lucien more than they like any of the Mikaelsons.

In the meantime, Cami and Hayley try to save Klaus.  They have a lot more luck accomplishing their goals than Elijah, Freya and The Strix do.  Before the Cami/Hayley Calvary arrives, Klaus gets Aurora to admit that shes just using Lucien (and his hidden camera catches it all).  Aurora drinks the blood from the jar and hopes that Cami and Hayley will kill her and finish her transformation to Win10 hybrid status.  But, they fool the hell outta her by just knocking her out.  So now she’s playing Sleeping Beauty inside the Mikaelson Compound so that Freya can try to find a cure for her (and Lucien’s) bite.

And the best part?  Klaus knows that Cami really does love him, but we have to wait two weeks to get to see the make up stuff.  Darn it!

The Vampire Diaries SN7 EP18 – ‘ One Way Or Another ‘

SN7 EP18:  One Way Or Another

Written By:  Rebecca Sonnenshine (teleplay) & Penny Cox (story)

Directed By:  Rashaad Ernesto Green

We are now firmly in the “Three Years From Now” story line.  In this episode we got some buddy action going on with Ric and Damon, although Ric really didn’t want to be there.  Ric was grudgingly helping Damon to save Stefan who was still in the body of Marty the drunk driver from E17.  The vamp currently occupying Stefan’s body is a serial killer named Ambrose.

It’s a race against time, because Marty’s way human body can’t hold Stefan for long without breaking down (i.e. what happened early in the season with Jo).  So Damon tells Valerie to set up in a hotel to get ready for the body swapping spell while he tries to get Marty/Stefan and Stefan/Ambrose to her.  Ambrose is inside a frat house in Memphis, a house that Damon can’t enter without an invitation.  But, Ambrose agrees to leave Stefan’s body if Damon will kill Rayna for him.  Sounds easy right?  I mean killing The Huntress now that her sword is gone should be a piece of cake.  Right?

Wrong.  Rayna is in a Uber car headed after one of the vamps that has escaped the Hell of the Phoenix Stone and Enzo hijacks the car and takes Rayna.  He’s trying to find a cure for the poison pills made from Rayna’s blood that he’s been giving to Bonnie to hide her from The Armory.

So Damon has to come up with another plan.  While dealing with Ambrose who keeps compelling college students to deliver messages to Damon and Ric (who is continually telling Damon that he just wants to go home).  First, a college co-ed comes to the car window offering her phone to Damon with the words “He said if you don’t answer it I’m supposed to walk into traffic”.  Damon answers and then keeps the pink sparkly cased phone, which later gives us the best line of the episode when Ambrose calls back and Ric says, “Your Barbie dream phone is ringing.”

In this episode we get to see a frantic Damon who just wants to save his brother.  He really doesn’t want to let Stefan down again…. which has become his default setting.

We finally find out why Bonnie is locked up in a mental institution, and it’s not because being Damon’s best friend finally drove her bonkers.  She’s trying to buddy up to Alex St. John’s (the leader of The Armory) sister, who’s been locked up for a long time. Virginia St. John totally flips out when she finds out that Bonnie is a Bennett Witch.  She tries to kill Bonnie ranting about how Bonnie can not open the vault… the vault has to stay closed or else.  Which left me asking “What’s in the box?  What’s in the box?”

After they save Stefan, Ric tells Damon off … and then tells him where Bonnie is, suggesting that he might have better luck making nice with her.  Damon shows up right behind Enzo, after Bonnie has found out that she’s dying.  Damon even brought flowers.

And, and, and…. Bonnie slams the door in his face!  But, I mean really, did anyone NOT see that coming?

Next week we get to see Bonnie and Clyde, uh I mean Damon go on a rampage.

So. Can’t. Wait.

Ian Somerhalder Says Eight Is Enough

At the Walker Stalker Con in Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday, Ian Somerhalder announced that The Vampire Diaries will end after season 8.  Somerhalder says that they want to give it their all in Season 8 and with this last season, “To really do the story justice.”

As sad as I am to see the show end, I’m glad that they’re not going to drive it into the ground before calling it quits.  With Nina Dobrev already gone, and Kat Graham and Somerhalder announcing that next season (S8) would be their last, it was time.

The CW has not officially announced the end of the show… they only just announced last month that it had been renewed for Season 8.

For the S8 finale, I think they need to do what Jensen Ackles has stated would be his desired ending for the show.  He has always said that he thinks they should end it with Sam and Dean driving through Mystic Falls in the Impala.

No matter how the show ends, I’ll be there for the finale.  I love the Salvatore Brothers (they’re my second favorite TV brothers)… and they are by far the sexist vampire brothers EVER, hands down.

Klaus and Elijah are a close … and I mean VERY close second.

The Originals SN3 EP17 – ‘Behind The Black Horizon’ Star Joseph Morgan Directs S3E17

SN3 EP17: Behind The Black Horizon

Written By:  Declan De Barra & Diane Ademu-John

Directed By:  Joseph Morgan

I must admit that I didn’t get the memo that Joseph Morgan was directing this episode, so it was a complete surprise when  the opening credits told me so.  He did an excellent job.  I especially liked the shots of Freya’s (Riley Voelkel) face when she was on the ground and the shot of Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) practically bending over backwards (literally) when The Ancestors were forcing him to help Lucien.

Last episode was all about sibling rivalry, but in this one we learned that even though they may fight among themselves, they’ll band together to fight FOR each other.  It’s that whole ‘I can pick on my little brother all day long, but you better not touch him’ thing that is so very contradictory, but we all feel it.  When Lucien and The Ancestors made Vincent kidnap Freya, all of the Mikaelson Brothers came together to save her.  Even Finn was working with Elijah!  I know!  I’m sure that’s one of the first signs of the apocalypse.

So, while Klaus and Hayley were on a mission to find out what Lucien was up to, searching all of his business holdings, the other Mikaelsons were searching for where Lucien and Vincent had taken Freya (which bt-dubbs was MYSTIC FALLS!  Loved the scenes with Deputy Donovan… and that Matt helped them save Freya).  During Klaus and Hayley’s search is where we got the best line of the episode.  Klaus saying…”Ladies first” right before all Hell and Hayley broke loose was just great.  Hayley and Klaus decimated a whole security detail.  It was awesome.  I love Hayley… she’s the badassiest of all the badasses.  And, you definitely do NOT wanna piss her off.  Nope.

And all along, Lucien was wanting to become an Original.  Well, not exactly an Original, he wanted to be the Windows 10 of Originals.  He said an upgrade… but basically what he did was become that annoying upgrade that nobody wanted but is being forced down our throats.  He wanted to be a hybrid… like Klaus.  Only where Klaus’ bite will not kill an Original, Lucien’s will now.  Finn found that out the hard way.

In this episode, we all found out that “Always and forever” applies to all the Mikaelson siblings.  Even the one that they kept ‘daggered in a box’ for 900 years.  At the end of the episode, there was a touching scene where Finn’s siblings were throwing his ashes into the river after each saying a few touching words about their brother.  Even Kol said something nice.  But, in typical Klaus fashion, his words were merely “Just know that you will be avenged”  That’s Klaus for you.

And see, that’s why today when I saw that meme on Facebook … ya know, the one that says “You’ve been kidnapped and the star of the last show you watched is coming to save you… how screwed are you?”  I was very happy to get to say that Klaus Mikaelson was coming for me.  I’m pretty sure I’m good.

And, if not, I will be avenged.

The Vampire Diaries SN7 EP17 – ‘ I Went To The Woods ‘ Does Some Body Swapping

SN7 EP17:  I Went To The Woods

Written By (Story By):  Julie Plec & Neil Reynolds

Directed By:  Julie Plec

When the Phoenix Stone was destroyed in E16, we were all thinking that Stefan was going to be stuck in Hell.  Right?  Well, at least until we saw the scenes for the upcoming episode…this episode.

The episode started with someone laying in the middle of the road.  And for once, it wasn’t Damon!  I mean, really, I know I wasn’t the only one that said “Why is Damon laying in the middle of the road THIS time?”  I was?  Well, hell.

Okay…on with the review.

In this episode we got to see a Damon that really did care more about his brother than himself.  After Valerie and Damon went their separate ways because they both thought they could save Stefan better than the other one could, Damon found Stefan walking down the side of the road.  Or did he?  It took a little longer than it should have, but Damon eventually realized that it wasn’t Stefan’s soul occupying Stefan’s body.  The best line of the show came when Stefan’s body snatcher realized that Damon knew he wasn’t Stefan.  Body Snatcher tells Damon that he’s not going to give up Stefan’s body, and Damon responds, “Well, I can tell you that hair requires a LOT of maintenance.”  I loved that line a lot… and I especially liked that Body Snatcher agreed with him!

So, if Stefan wasn’t in his body…where was he?  He landed in the body of an alcoholic who caused an accident while driving drunk causing several deaths, including his own.  So, Stefan wakes up in the middle of the road… yeah, that was him I was talking about earlier.  He jumps up and starts saving people from the bus that the previous occupant of the body had been driving.  Understandably, Stefan thought he was in Hell, and aside from convincing the paramedics and the police that he was completely bonkers, kept waiting for the other shoe to drop in Hell.  But, turned out he wasn’t in Hell, and he had to escape custody and then survive a freezing cold night in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. (Yay, for a shout out to my home state!)

As much as I loved the episode, the whole time I was watching, I had the feeling of being rushed.  It felt like they just wanted to wrap up all the loose ends of the “Three Years From Now” story line so they could move on to the next thing and set up a killer cliff hanger for the season finale.

But, they did give us a touching brotherly moment between my other favorite set of CW brothers.  Stefan and Damon talking on the phone about playing hide and seek when they were children, and Stefan explaining that he didn’t believe Damon was going to find him.  I wasn’t crying, you were crying!

If you haven’t seen the episode yet, keep the tissues handy.  You’re going to need them.  But, it’s certainly worth the ride in Damon’s ’69 Chevy Camaro.

Supernatural SN11 EP18 – ‘ Hell’s Angel ‘

 

SN11 EP18: Hell’s Angel

Written By: Brad Buckner & Eugenie Ross-Leming

Directed By: Phillip Sgriccia

I’ll be honest with you, dear readers, I don’t even know where to start with this one.  I mean, I know it’s my job to break all this down for you, but this one was… well, how does the word “OhmyChuckthey’retryingtokillus” sound to you?  Yeah, you’re right, it’s probably too hard for non-fans to pronounce.

Okay, let me try again.

I have to admit, that at first I was like “Where are they going with this?”  I mean, I love Crowley as much as you can actually love The King of Hell… but I was shaking my head wondering what he was up to. BUT, please take note that is a very big ‘but’, once he had The Horn of Joshua, The Show was off and running.

Last night we saw the return of a few famdom favorites… Mark Pellegrino (as Lucifer), Ruthie Connell (as Rowena, who was presumed dead after Lucifer broke her neck. But as we’ve learned over and over again…nobody stays dead on Supernatural), and more importantly we saw the return of Sam’s ‘bitch face’.  I was so very glad to see Ruthie…uh… I mean, Rowena back.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I had a bit of a fangasm right there on my couch.  Yep, sure did.  So anyway, Rowena was helping Amara (Emily Swallow) heal after that “dreadful smiting” from the Angels.  Then, once Amara aka The Darkness showed off the depth of her power, Rowena was more than a little  … hmm…. frightened beyond belief doesn’t seem to cover it.  Anyway, she changed her mind and decided to try Team Winchester again.  That’s right, she went running to The Boys and their temporary team mate Crowley.

The best line of the night was in fact a line and then a reaction.  Sam is telling Dean that Cas wanted to say “yes” to Lucifer.  And, Dean responds, “Yeah, well there’s times I want to be slapped during sex by a girl wearing a Zorro mask, but that doesn’t make it a good idea.”  Then there’s Crowley’s reaction.  I actually had to rewind and watch that one a few times.  Okay, so many times that Lucy (my BFF that watches The Show with me every week) got a little peeved with me.  It was priceless.  Go watch it; I’ll wait.

Waiting…

See!  Told ya!

There were a lot of tense moments that kept me on the edge of my seat during this episode.  The fight inside Cas’ head was … well… things got broken.  Mark Pellegrino is just the best Lucifer EVER!  But, that ending?  Man, I can’t believe I willingly let them do this to me every damn week.  Seriously.

Source Unknown

Anyway, next week is the first of two weeks off then when The Show comes back on the 27th it’s another MotW episode.  See ya’ll in two weeks!

The Originals SN3 EP16 – ‘ Alone With Everybody ‘ Is Full of Sibling Rivalry

SN3 EP16 – Alone With Everybody

Written By:  Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson, Carina Adly MacKenzie, Declan De Barra, Michael Russo & Julie Plec

Directed By:  Hanelle Culpepper

This episode was all about sibling rivalry and a rousing game of “Bullet, Bullet, who’s got the Bullet?”.  The Strix are guarding Elijah and by default the other Mikaelsons.  Well, except Klaus who’s on the run with Hope and Hayley.  The whole Klaus and Hayley scenario gives us our best line of the whole episode.  Klaus asks, “On a scale from 1 to 10, how much am I going to despise this little plan of yours?” To which Hayley quips, “I’d say a solid … 85.”  All Klaus can say to that is, “Oh good.”

There a new vamp on the scene named Sofya (played by Taylor Cole) who is after the last white oak bullet for an unseen employer, and she manages to take it from Vincent.  Later we find out because Josh is so good at computer-techie-hacking type stuff, that there’s an online auction for the bullet.  Through some impersonation shenanigans (and after Josh gets his young vamp butt kicked) Marcel gets the bullet.

Meanwhile, back at the Mikaelson’s home, Kol has a go at Finn.  You see, Kol over hears Finn telling Elijah that he wants to shed his vamp body and take over a witch’s body.  Once Davina learns this, she takes a page out of his mother’s spell book (literally) and locks him in his vamp body.  To say he was pissed is an understatement.  Kol walks in just in time to save Davina and take a few shots at his older brother.  But then, the two of them had been walking around each other with hackles raised the whole episode.  Elijah walks in while all Hell is breaking lose.  The exasperation is plain on his face.  I mean, he’s got 99 problems…

Once the white oak bullet finally ends up in Elijah’s hands, he has Freya start a fire and he throws the bullet in.  However, Finn reaches in to pull it out.  He wants them to use the bullet to end his “suffering”.  After much deliberation and some “I can hide it and keep it safe” promises from Freya, Elijah decides to keep the bullet just in case one of them wants “release” some where in the future… you know, a million years from now or whatever.

Vincent gets a message from The Ancestors and realizes he’s supposed to help Sofya.  So, instead of getting her employer’s name out of her, Vincent helps her escape and grabs Freya as she’s leaving the Mikaelson compound with the bullet.

And, when all the dust clears, we find out that Lucien is the mysterious employer that wants the bullet.  What is he up to?  According to the scenes for next week, he wants to become an Original!

We’ll have to wait until next week to find out if he succeeds.

The Vampire Diaries SN7 EP16 – ‘Days Of Future Past’ Somerhalder Directs

SN7 EP16  – Days of Future Past

Written By:  Melinda Hsu Taylor, Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec, Holly Brix & Neil Reynolds

Directed By:  Ian Somerhalder

With the hashtag #DirectorSmolderhalder, TVD fans hit twitter for a live tweeting/watching with star Ian Somerhalder.  This was the second episode directed by Somerhalder, and once again he hit it out of the park!

Ian had been hinting at some deaths and heartbreak coming up in this episode, and he didn’t disappoint.

Things started with “Today”… that’s right it’s no longer “Three Years From Now”.  That television station studio hostage situation is happening “Today” and everything else is going on “Three years ago”.

In that television studio, Damon was still insisting that he’d take on Stefan’s scar and give his brother a break from running.  That’s when Damon hands out the best line of the episode, “Hashtag you’re welcome.  Are hashtags still a thing?  I don’t know it’s been three years.”

Once he helped Stefan escape, Damon took on Rayna all by himself telling her “Don’t worry about Stefan, I’m just giving him a head start.”  Then once they both regain consciousness, Rayna explains the where to and how fores of wearing Stefan’s scar.  She points out that even if Damon can out run her for the next 60 or 70 years, when she dies (and since she’s human, she WILL die) everyone marked by her sword will die too.  That means that just about the time Elena is waking up, Damon would die.  So, he’d be trading his forever with Elena to save Stefan.  Damon starts to rethink his sacrifice.

Over the course of the episode, we learn that The Armory has poisoned Mary Louise with pills laced with Rayna’s blood (which is poisonous to witches), it was Matt (not Enzo) that let Rayna escape from The Armory, and that Enzo is just as concerned about finding an antidote for those pills as Mary Louise and Nora are.  They never said why.  But, I’d bet dollars to donuts that it’s because BonBon has taken those same pills.

Ian’s promised heartbreak came in the form of Stefan realizing that Damon wasn’t going to take the scar from him, and just giving up and letting Rayna but him back into the Phoenix Stone.  While Damon and Valerie are racing to save him, Damon growls, “I’m Damon Salvatore; I can figure this out.”  Damon decides to take on the scar and has Valerie start the spell…. but she doesn’t finish before Rayna stabs Stefan with the sword.

Nora and Mary Louise manage to hijack the sword and haul ass, but in the process Nora gets marked by the sword.  Mary Louise decides to fix it all.  Nora and Mary Louise go all Thelma and Louise and take the sword and the stone with them, leaving Stefan high and dry laying on the asphalt for Damon and Valerie to show up and find him that way.

But, the big twist is we find out why Matt’s been helping Rayna.  He’s pissed at Stefan and it’s got something to do with a very dead Penny.  Matt says Stefan has finally paid for what he did.

So, my only question is … What the hell did he do?

I suppose we’ll have to wait until next week to find out.
