Elena (Nina Dobrev) writes in her diary and a page flies away, only to be stomped on and picked up by Stefan (Paul Wesley) yet this is meant to be the first time they have met. Which was obvious and should have been since didn't Elena burn the diary when he found out Katherine had written in it. Stefan is rudely awoken as he almost gets run over. Apparently Markos (Raffi Barsoumian) said 'resident evil' of the title is playing with them. As Stefan and Elena have dreams about the life they could have had and to many, still should have. Something which Damon (Ian Somerhalder) learns from Caroline (Candace Accola) and Enzo (Michael Malarkey) would have a lot to say about it too. Especially since he goes on baout Damon and Elena still sleeping together. Though everyone's been calling them 'sex dreams' they weren't really that. They were more the more romantic side of this show. But was getting tired of Elena being the focus of attention all the time.
So we also get to know that the Travellers have taken over Mystic Falls residents and Matt (Zach Roerig) learns this the hard way, with the sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) stabbing him with the knife and his ending up on the other side. Here he finds things aren't well, as he runs into Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) of all people, or original vamps, who actually was civil for once. Even wanting Matt to return home so he can tell everyone what's happening here. Matt realizes he can see Vicki (Kayla Ewell) and when they meet it's not long before she too is dragged away. Pray tell, ha, is that the same manner in which Katherine was dragged off, had to ask since no one's really mentioned her in a while, intentionally I think.
Kol tells Matt he's lucky cos he has his ring and can go back as soon as he gets back to his body as Vicki tells him. Matt must get back but tells Kol he won't recall what happened here, but he insists Matt will remember, which he does. Seems Grams (Jasmine Guy) also has this sort of news for Bonnie (Kat Graham) that things are awry and the witches are worried. This being a result of Markos being resurrected. Oh and Markos also destroys the only Traveller knife that there was remaining, careless of Matt to have parted with that and had it to begin with, well on display that is.
Also we get Tyler (Michael Trevino) being possessed once again, even after he rescued the sheriff. Since this will probably lead him having more to do and having a much more interesting storyline. So the scene where Liv (Penelope Mitchell) stabbing Tyler and Matt to see if they were still without Travellers inside them, was pointless (no pun). Especially considering she wasn't going to do that again anytime soon, if at all. Markos getting Enzo on side again by telling him he can still help him find Maggie, don't think that'll happen anytime soon, if at all. As Markos infiltrates the Mystic Falls' residents with his Travellers taking over their bodies.
Bonnie tries to see what Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) is hiding but he's keeping secrets to protect her, as if that ever helps. Just seems that he should have been honest with her from the outset since it's no big secret there's always something going on in the town. Yet it was okay to bring her into the picture and in danger whenever they needed her help in casting a spell or two. Resulting in her losing her life for them. Luke (Chris Brochu) telling everyone about Markos and how the Travellers have been at odds with the witches for generations.
With Paul Wesley directing this ep, seems like he took a backseat to actually appearing much in the show, but maintained the balance between Elena and Stefan to a minimum, for those that wanted to see them and had very little, if any, interaction with Caroline this ep aside from on the phone when he told to say he's been dreaming too.
