The Vampire Diaries 5.2 "True Lies" Review

                                         
Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candace Accola) crash the microbiology class in the hopes of finding out who that mysterious professor Dr Wes Maxfield (Rick Cosnett) is as he faked Megan's death certificate with 'suicide' and Elena finds out he knew her father and is part of some secret society on campus.  Though they get thrown out for being freshmen.  yeah acting chatty in his class would give that away and not trying to hide behind other students would too.  Caroline is still acting all vain and she has the hots for Jesse (Kandrick Sampson) well she did say she's "deferring from having sex with Tyler" since he's deferring her calls.  Matt (Zach Roerig) and Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) need to protect Katherine which doesn't go so well.

Silas meets up with Elena hoping to find out where Jeremy is heading and she doesn't realize he's Silas since he mind controls her too.  But she finds out about Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and him keeping Jeremy being expelled from school which makes her angry.  So Silas takes her phone and he gets a text saying Katherine's been spotted on route 6, which leads to a campsite where Jeremy et al are headed, as Elena tells him.  That was all a little too easy and then well once again Matt gets killed by Silas who finds he's not able to control him cos the travellers/gypsies from last ep were inside his head and watching Silas.  Which was what we saw last ep.

Matt finds out Bonnie (Kat Graham) is dead and she's not coping.  Matt has to find his body before he can wake and he needs to tell the others about her but when he wakes up he won't recall her.  Jeremy and Silas fight and Katherine manages to shoot him even after saying she couldn't handle a gun.  Matt tells Bonnie if she can't cope with her own death then she can't cope with her father's death either and Jeremy will always be here for her.  He'll tell the others she's with family.  But Elena knows about Bonnie, well that she's missing.

Using her mind control she ties up Damon and feeds him vervain and then tries to kill him.  Caroline having told Damon how Elena's had a pit in her stomach about Stefan all Summer and then feeling guilty about Stefan suffering whilst she's been "rolling around" with Damon, and so she should, ha!  Stefan has flashes about Elena everytime he drowns but then wakes up again.  The sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) drags the quarry at Damon's request and finds the safe but Stefan's not in it, it's the DB of a bloodied man.  Seems like Ripper's back and hopefully will leave more carnage in his wake and have a better time of dealing with Silas than 'ordinary' Stefan did.

Silas is cornered by the gypsy with the gypsy dagger but Nadia (Olga Fonda) kills him cos she's got her own agenda.  Oh not more Angel territory here with Angel being terrorized by the gypsies and his soul being cursed etc.  Can't we get some new stories?!  We get Katherine whining over getting a cold an  how she survived five hundred years of being a vampire to come to this.  Caroline was boring just wanting to party and get drunk and have fun the entire year, how different was that from her time at Mystic Falls.  Come on some character development please.  Also how did Jeremy manage to heal himself when Silas drove that pole through himself and into Jeremy's body, was it the effect of Damon's blood from last week, or do hunters have some power we don't know about?

Oh and Katherine mentioning giving birth to a baby, ha, what's the betting she'll be on the scene too real soon, unless she already is, was thinking Nadia, I mean brunette, she's got dark hair and Silas mentioning his penchant for brunettes too, but maybe I'm wrong.
