The Vampire Diaries 4.5 "The Killer" Review

Connor (Todd Williams) tells Shane (David Alpay) of Klaus (Joesph Morgan) he's meant to kill as many vampires as possible in Mystic Falls, but the witch, Bonnie (Kat Graham) is important to Shane.  Connor will kill anyone who gets in the way and takes Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) hostage at the Grill.

Elena (Nina Dobrev) writes in her diary saying she can't write this or even speak of it.  She's a vampire and she hates it.  Stefan (Paul Wesley) also writes in his diary about how he doesn't recognize Elena at times, but there is hope.  Elena feels hopeless and scared.  Stefan mentions the cure for vampires so Elena can be human again.  Elena wants to end it but she can't cos of Jeremy, she's all he's got left.  Stefan is ready to do whatever Klaus asks of him, keep as many secrets.  Which is impossible in this show.

Italy  Klaus is told of Connor's escape and Connor has the hybrid toxin.  He took the hybrid's head but he wants Connor kept alive.  Damon (Ian Somerhalder) wants to go after Connor and kill him.  Klaus trusts no one.  Stefan trusts Damon more than Klaus.  If more know about the cure, they will go after it.

April (Grace Phipps) comes looking for Rebekah and Matt (Zach Roerig) tells her they're not a couple.  Damon looks for Stefan and Elena hasn't told him about the party.  Damon: "...newbie vampire remorse is worse than a hangover."  Jeremy is told he was compelled to forget as he doesn't remember anything.  His friends will come for him and Connor texts them all.  Damon wants to conduct open heart surgery on him cos he has them all.  Stefan says they need to be careful as he's known for setting traps and has werewolf venom and has used it before.  Damon wants to call Bonnie who is too busy with Shane.

He's written books on witch therapy and using hypnosis she can confront her fear and guilt and remove it.  Klaus says Stefan needs to get the others on board with his plan.  Elena sees Stefan on the phone and Damon thinks the tunnels are a good way in and doesn't want Elena coming.  "For someone who doesn't want to be like me, you sure are."  Only Jeremy is holding her together.

Connor has werewolf toxin in the tripwire of the bomb, when it goes off it will enter the bloodstream. Connor will know his story when the tattoo grows.  Caroline (Candace Accola) meets Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin).  Damon comments on Connor having his MacGyver crossbow and wonders why Klaus would be involved.  Stefan vervains Damon.  Tyler (Michael Trevino) tells Klaus's lackey, Dean (Blake Hood) he doesn't have to do everything Klaus says.  Klaus says he knows about Tyler and Hayley.

Stefan tells  them he needs him alive and he can tell Connor about the Tive.  Matt tries to get out through the tunnels and Stefan hears him trying to break through.  Klaus's hybrid triggers the bomb.  More of the tattoo is revealed on Connor.  Jeremy also steps onto the bomb trigger.  Stefan took Damon's ring and knows Stefan is stalling them.  Stefan has a deal with Klaus or he's been compelled.  Elena calls herself dangerous and she can kill him too when he gets too close.

Jeremy is shot.  Stefan stakes Connor and Jeremy can see his tattoo.  They get to the tunnels and Damon comments he had to go through a septic tank to get here.  He wants to kill Connor and doesn't trust him.  Damon grabs Stefan's heart and he spills.  Elena attacks Connor and kills him.

Bonnie has been undergoing hypnosis for 7 hours.  Shane tells her she can light the candle but she's afraid of the spirits and what they'll do to Grams.  She has her own power and is strong.  Elena buries Connor.  Damon tells her what Stefan did is complicated.  Elena says she trusted Stefan.  Damon told her to kill him and she did.  Hayley learns Dean is dead and Caroline wants to know what Tyler feels for Hayley.  She helped him only.  There are other hybrids they can help who need to be free and Klaus would kill them all if he knew that's why he thinks he and Hayley were together.

Jeremy gives April his bracelet.  Jeremy gets the tattoo now.  Damon went through six locks to get Stefan's journal.  He's got Stefan's back.  Stefan regrets Elena killed the only chance she had to be human, not knowing Jeremy has the tattoo now and Jeremy doesn't know that it will help Elena become human.  There are other hunters out there.  Damon is happy to go on a suicide mission with Stefan but why does Stefan want to cure Elena?  Stefan loves her but doesn't want her to be this person, well she's not a person anymore.  Damon is only doing this for Stefan.  Something he always says.

Elena writes how she lost control.  It's the worst feeling and you "realize you've lost yourself."  She has a nose bleed and follows the blood trail to the bathroom, where there is blood everywhere.  Now the hallucinations begin.

Damon wanted Bonnie there but no bothered calling her or finding out where she is, the same about Rebekah too.  Not that she would have helped them or anything but Stefan is the only one who knows she's been daggered, aside from Klaus who reminds us he did that this episode.  Damon still getting the best lines and it was inevitable he would find out about the cure.  Is he in denial, ha, saying he's only helping for Stefan's sake, well maybe not, we know what his feelings are for Elena and that he'd rather see her stay a vampire, especially since they can both party hard.  Also he keeps saying she's more like him anyway.

Elena is having vampiric mood swings, going from killer to whiny vampire to hallucinating now.  She had to become bad it was inevitable (to use again) but she really has to go through the transformation and decide what she wants to do and how she wants to be.  Either like Stefan or like Damon.  Though it seems that choice has been made for her now that she's killed.

We knew it was coming, Jeremy would become a hunter as Elena becomes a vampire.  Bonnie can't see Shane's up to no good even with her "witchy" powers as Damon calls them. So Bonnie's important to him, to use her against her friends.  Would prefer to see Elena become human, since there's Katherine, her vampire doppelganger, they shouldn't have both of them as vampires.  But Elena will have serious trust issues with Stefan as he isn't being honest with her, but it's for her sake.  Gotta ask if there's just a tad selfishness there on Stefan's part as he has a vested interest in wanting Elena to be human.  He's never really lasted long with a vampire lover.  Elena as a vampire is more Damon territory.

Oh and once again another plan goes awry!  The diaries surface this episode and Damon knowing Stefan would write everything down.
