Oh after some more self indulgence with Elena (Nina Dobrev) yet again and wanting a date with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) but boo hoo, he already knows what'll happen.  She should consider herself lucky she was getting a date with him to begin with.  But having said that, I have to say Damon puts his foot in it once again!Seriously, he thinks it's okay to interfere in something that doesn't concern him again and why, cos he thinks he's helping Alaric by saving Jo (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe).  Where was Alaric anyway, shouldn't he have at least been here at this time for Jo.  Then there's Caroline (Candace Accola) and they find out the man she gave her blood to, died and came back as a vampire, making it worse for him, cos he can't die now and he can't live like a vampire either.  never mind, Damon to the rescue, he just swoops in and saves the day by taking his heart and killing him, there problem solved.  Stefan's (Paul Wesley) face said it all really.  Sometimes you think Caroline and Damon are cut from the same cloth.  Always do things without thinking and selfishly, not to help others but what they think they should be doing for themselves.

Think I can say the same for Tyler (Michael Trevino) as well when he wants Liv (Penelope Mitchell) to, er live, but he thinks it's better if Jo and Kai (Chris Wood) are the ones to merge.  I mean he was the one who gave Damon the plan to to let Kai loose, suck up the magic from the sheriff's (Marguerite MacIntyre) body so that she goes back to being terminal, but in a peaceful sort of way and then thinks it's better if Liv and Luke's (Chris Brochu) father, Joshua (Christopher Cousins) makes them merge together, thus Jo won't have to.  Pray then tell what was he going to do with  Kai after the fact, of the mergence.  Sometimes this show, ugh, why do I even watch it still.

Anyway as said, Damon gets the idea from Tyler who was releasing Kai from his comatose, on ice stage and he thinks it's better if he  merges, hello, when or how was Damon going to keep control of the psychopathic Kai, or did he want more vessels in head burst.  Cos no one can control Kai, even their own father runs away after he finds out that Luke has merged with Kai, cos he knows Kai is stronger than him.  SO basically it was suicide for Luke and he knew that Kai would be the victor, but selflessly he wanted to save both his sisters, Liv and Jo.  But I got to ask what it would've been like if Luke and Liv had merged.  There should've been a different outcome to this, instead of letting the weaker siblings live.  Just cos Luke was a loner and didn't have anyone on his side, or was involved, it was a case of he's just expendable.

What else happened, oh, the sheriff promises Caroline she'll fight as hard as possible to be here as long as possible for her and even though there was that moment when she flatlined and was packing her bags, wanting to say her final farewells to Caroline, then finding her all vamp faced and bloody, which made her return to the living.  Caroline didn't do her any favours by going AWOL when she needed her the most.  With Stefan having to convince her to come back since he did the same thing when his mother was ill, went to find her favourite flowers or her favourite tea, so he wouldn't have to be with her.  The sheriff also makes him promise he'll look after Caroline cos she'll need him.  Well that's all he needed.

There Jo and Liv were in despair and what do Elena and Damon do, kiss like there was no vampire tomorrow!  Yeah, cos it's all about you.  I have nothing else to say for this ep, no seriously, I don't. Was that disappointed in it and it wasn't like watching anything new and it's not like it hasn't been all done before.  Just wish Enzo was around to liven things up, cos this lot are so full of themselves, always interfering in things that go wrong and then no one's even thought about Bonnie for weeks now.
