‘Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Katherine’s Fight To ‘Survive’ Turns Desperate
With Katherine (Nina Dobrev) on her death bed, the episode began as a tribute to the troublemaking doppelgänger, which seamlessly transitioned into a tribute to the series, as Katherine was revealed to be the show’s true heart and soul. She’s the glue that’s kept everyone together — for better or, more often, worse — and even in her final days, she’s somehow still calling all the shots.
Through Kat’s hazy death-visions, we caught glimpses of some of our favorites — Jenna (Sara Canning), John (David Anders), Emily (Bianca Lawson) and Elijah (Daniel Gillies) — and I loved every single visit, no matter how brief. Seeing her many enemies, as well as her few loved ones, helped to remind me how well-rounded a character Katherine really is; it’s become easy to pigeon-hole her in the villain category when she’s really more of an anti-hero.
Oh, Alaric (Matt Davis) and Vicki’s (Kayla Ewell) appearances also got me all choked up, even if they weren’t Katherine-induced.
Well, #Klaroline Finally Happened
It wasn’t the best-kept secret in the world — thanks a lot, Australian TV promos! — but that didn’t make Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) return to Mystic Falls any less impactful. In fact, I’m pretty sure I felt the lack of oxygen at 8:18 p.m., as all east-coast viewers gasped in shocked unison.
As always, Caroline (Candice Accola) tried desperately to fight off Klaus’ creepy, forceful advances — until he gave her a massive ultimatum. He ‘promised’ to leave town and never pursue her again, in exchange for her honesty, but what he got in response was a whole lot more than just honesty.
While I’m not the biggest fan of the Klaus-Caroline relationship — nor do I encourage forest sex, because bark is painful — even I have to admit: that s**t was hot!
That said, I was thrilled when Tyler (Michael Trevino) walked into the Salvatores’ living room. Rebekah (Claire Holt) sure does give good parting gifts! I only hope Tyler can forgive Caroline for doing the nasty with the enemy…
Whose Body Is It Anyway?
Am I the only one who entered the hour fully prepared to say my last goodbyes to Katherine Pierce? I swear, there are probably cats jealous of how many lives this girl has.
Thanks to some out-of-the-box thinking on Nadia’s (Olga Fonda) part, it seems that Kat will indeed live to see another day. With a little help from Elena and Stefan (Paul Wesley), Nadia used Kat’s Traveler powers to move her into someone else’s body; and not just any body: Elena’s!
Needless to say, Katherine’s about to raise some serious hell in Mystic Falls. And I’d expect nothing less!
