The Vampire Diaries 4.7 "My Brother's Keeper" Review

Stefan (Paul Wesley) tells Caroline (Candace Accola) he and Elena (Nina Dobrev) have broken up and he's not coming to the party, the annual Ms Mystic Falls pageant.  She has feelings for Damon (Ian Somerhalder).  Caroline: "He's Damon...and I'm revolted."  Being a vampire has changed Elena and all Stefan wants to do is to rip into someone's neck, oh dear wrong choice of words from me, you know, he was the Ripper after all.  Klaus (Joseph Morgan) sneaks up as usual and is angry Stefan's told everyone about the cure.  He has to find more vampires for Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) to kill.

Damon comments on "Shady Stefan being back."  Stefan breaks the news to Damon which is music to his ears but they need to find a different hunter.  Damon also mentions Shane (David Alpay) being "shadier than you are."  Stefan tells Damon not to "pretend this isn't the best day of your life."  Well what's to follow will ensure that it is.  Caroline knows Stefan is Elena's soulmate but Elena says she's confused as per usual.

Elena is going with Matt (Zach Roerig) and Jeremy is April's (Grace Phipps) escort.  Jeremy demonstrates his super strength to Matt now by lifting two kegs when Matt couldn't manage one.  Also should I have remarked on his strength being superhuman?  Stefan looks for patients for Jeremy to kill and finds a murderer, so he's now judge, jury, executioner and vampire.  Caroline has to plan the pageant again and Klaus arrives asking for his date.  Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) wants to go to the pageant and also cos it's at Tyler's house.  Hayley is just a troublemaker and is up to no good, she just wants to see Tyler get jealous of Klaus but there's more to her.  Don't trust that shifty smile of hers.

Jeremy stops acting like Elena is his sister and dreams of strangling her and wakes up with a knife in his hand without knowing how it got there. He confides in Matt and thinks he could be turning into Alaric.  Matt orders him to tell Elena or he will.  Caroline and Elena help April pick out a dress for her and Damon turns up to express his opinion, he thinks red, Elena has agreed on blue with Caroline, but as soon as Damon opened his mouth, Elena changed her mind.  Caroline calls him a "lurker."    This hasn't been the best year for Elena.  She talks to Damon about Stefan who says he went on about it but he didn't.  He hardly said two words, oh okay, four words.

Damon tells Shane he's looking for a hunter as the potential is a problem and asks why Shane is here?  How did he convince the Pastor to kill all those people?  Stefan gets Jeremy to kill and to convince him it's for Elena.  Oh cunning, evil Damon knowing about the sire bond all along. Especially since he had Klaus's blood in him when he was bitten by Tyler in season 2.  Suppose this was the only way Damon could get Elena to succumb to his wily charms.  Let's hope they can break the bond cos I for one don't think Elena and Damon should be together, especially since she doesn't really want Damon.

Caroline thinks Klaus is perfect and can't look at him, she sees Tyler (Michael Trevino) with Hayley.  Matt blabs to Elena about Jeremy's nightmare and Damon convinces her to let Jeremy go.  He's not worried so Elena shouldn't be either.  Caroline thinks Damon is sneaky and he's "never right."  She doesn't like seeing Elena with him and she opens up as a friend, she's also trying to warn her but Elena doesn't listen.  SO where was Bonnie?  No one mentioned her, didn't they notice she wasn't there.  Stefan knows Elena isn't herself anymore and now Jeremy's into sticking knives into Stefan and he can't be compelled.

Klaus wouldn't take the cure since he'd stop being the most powerful creature on the planet.  Tyler watches them.  Jeremy tells April her father died a hero and he was doing the right thing for the town as we see more of Jeremy changing.  Shane doesn't know of any other hunters and Damon reveals he's a vampire to him, which he knew anyway.    Only a certain witch can perform the spell so even if he finds all the pieces to the map, they'll still need Bonnie.  April is crowned Ms Mystic Falls and Jeremy thinks Connor was right as he can only think about killing vampires.  He must kill Elena as she's one too.  She sees blood on his hand and he stabs her in the neck.  Hayley asks Tyler if his mother (Susan Walters) has the gene but his father did, she seems to be curious all of a sudden, why ask now?  She also lies by telling him she's only just met Shane.

Klaus thought about being human when on a trek in the Andes, he saw a humming bird which had to stay alive everyday and work hard at it.  Stefan takes the blame for Jeremy but Elena doesn't want him to lose his humanity just for her and Stefan shouldn't love her like that, no cos only Damon wants to and that's what he's been telling her all along.  The old Elena died when the car went over the bridge and he should let her go.  Matt moves in and tells Jeremy Elena's gone, yeah to be closer to Damon, why couldn't she just go somewhere else, no she has to torment Stefan even further and so he moves out, well crashes elsewhere.  Hayley tells Shane they broke another sire bond.

Damon won't give up on Elena, he thinks she's more alive now than ever before.  She recalls when they danced together and they do the same thing now and that dance turns into one of a different kind.  Caroline doesn't want Stefan giving up on Elena cos "you and her...epic."  Something's wrong with Elena and Caroline has a revelation as Elena has one of her own, she and Damon get down and dirty.  Klaus said Elena has problems and Damon is there solve them for her.  She did everything Damon told her to do, name one vampire who can't drink from a blood bag.  Damno said she couldn't.  Damon's blood made her a vampire, what if this is really happening?  Stefan:" Elena's sired to Damon."

Jeremy's turn to go darkside now as the pull of the hunter is too great for him to resist.  How many times did they want Matt saying he's human, "I'm not one of them..." Once was enough.  Caroline and Klaus seem to be the couple of the moment, at least fans want them to be, he rather acts the perfect gentlemen vampire around her.  Caroline working out the sire bond, so she's not just a pretty face, ha.
