The Vampire Diaries 5.14 "No Exit" Review

                                                 
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) still on his ripping spree and Enzo (Micahel Malarkey) find a farm and take it over by making sure Damon feeds on the farmer.  But first he's turned into a vampire and he and Enzo bet on his wife leaving him and who she left him for, well it wasn't the pastor!  Damon poses the man on a chair and doesn't like to put the head back on the body, that was Stefan's thing as he liked to make everything look normal.  Enzo sticks with Damon and won't leave him even this means he could be next.  He has at least 8 hours before Damon's next frenzied feeding attack.  Too late though since they find they can't leave as Maxfield (Rick Cosnett) and his travellers have found them.  They chant a spell to hold them inside and Maxfield wants to conduct some more research.  Like how long before Damon attacks and Enzo and chaining him to the chair isn't any good since he'll break those and of course Maxfield is happy cos he can now test Damon's strength in the process.

Enzo calls Elena (Nina Dobrev) for help since he knows she and Stefan (Paul Wesley) will come to him but Damon doesn't want that.  Katherine and Stefan having set out on their search for Damon come to stop at a petrol station and whilst Stefan's inside, Katherine breaks the fuel pipe off Stefan's car, after she has a go about it being as old as he is.  She also spotted a hotel a few streets away and ensures she gets oil on her so she has to wash up, having in mind the old shower ploy.  Stefan takes her there and whilst in the shower, Enzo texts her the address of where they are but she wants her dirty way with Stefan first.  She gets out of the shower and asks him for her green top, then leaves the door ajar so she can tempt him with her body. Oh please it's not like he hasn't seen her naked before.  But true to form, for a vampire that is, Stefan can't help but look!

Funny Katherine took so long putting that top on that when she came out wearing her jeans too, she had a bra underneath her shirt! What she took it off again, ha. Stefan is right vampirely seduced and they share a moment before having to head off, he tells her he can't cos of Damon.  Since Matt (Zach Roerig) knows about Katherine being Elena, she wants Nadia (Olga Fonda) to take care of him and she coming up with ways as she tells her.  Nadia sits with him until the vervain wears off and they too have a moment together, as Matt bids a means of escape.  He kisses her and then texts Caroline (Candace Accola) with her phone, "Help. K."  He's too slow though in terms of typing, I mean did he really need that full stop there, well it looked like a full stop on our screens, could have been a comma, ha; it's only a text, not an English essay. Perhaps a continuation of the joke where Tyler's (Michael Trevino) mother wrote his English paper for him.

With Damon going on the rampage, he realizes the traveller's spell has made Enzo's blood acidic and as Maxfield tells him, Damon's drinking hydrochloric acid.  Maxfield offers Enzo an out, if he helps him one more time he can leave here and also he'll let him go for good.  Damon tells him to go.  When Stefan and Katherine arrive, she walks in and tries to talk Damon out of sucking her blood and ripping her apart, by cutting her palm and forcing him to resist.  The urge is too much and he falls right into her trap by feeding on her too.  Exactly what Katherine wanted.  Stefan tells him to feed on him instead and Katherine slyly points to the stake on the floor.  The chair leg that came apart when Damon was chained to it.  Of course Stefan goes for the glass instead and snaps dear brother's neck.

Nadia chases after Matt and means to end him, but Caroline arrives and demands to know what she's up to. Nadia saying it's all Matt's fault.  Tyler also bursts in and pulls Nadia off Caroline, in the struggle, Nadia manages to escape, leaving Matt pondering why this is his fault.  Damon is chained in the Salvatore cellar and wonders why he left here.   Damon knows what Elena/Katherine was up to and knows she wanted Stefan to pick up the stake and kill him, so he'd be out of her hair forever.  Stefan and Caroline talk about what happened and she shows him Matt's text, leaving Stefan to put two and two vampires together and come up with the solution that Katherine is actually inside Elena.

Katherine meets up with Nadia and can think of nothing but food and Stefan.  Nadia doesn't want to hear it and she won't be sticking around either as she shows Katherine her arm, Tyler bit her. Leaving her with a dilemma of how to save her.  But with Damon locked up and chained, how is he going to be cured, if at all and what did Enzo have to do for Maxfield.  As well as the question of how Stefan and Caroline will deal with Katherine now her secret's out the bag.  Oh and someone please sound Bonnie out for not playing the part of anchor as far as Katherine's concerned, that is too much of an oversight on the part of the writers. As was Damon being brought back home so easily.
