The Vampire Diaries 6.13 "The Day I Tried To Live" Review
Oh finally Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) remember Bonnie (Kat Graham) and her birthday, but it was still very self-indulgent. A bit of an afterthought, weeks later they now realize they need to find her and help her back, not so much find. Though you never can tell. So they get Kai (Chris Wood) to take them to the other side a la Ghost, they'll be Patrick Swayze and when Kai does this, they finds that she can't see them. But she's watching the video that she and Damon made and he recalls the oldest booze bottle in the house and she's drinking from it. They made a pact to finish it as a last resort and at the end of that, to drink it all and themselves to death. Once again, the phrase the best laid plans of mice and and men comes to mind, only in this case, it's with the addition of vampires. By now we know they always backfire. Oh and Kai helping them wasn't out of the goodness of his own heart, sure there's some Luke floating around in him and he says that to Liv (Penelope Mitchell) after she fools Tyler (Michael Trevino) knocks him out and them comes to kill him, whilst he's got Jeremy (Steven r McQueen) under a spell, as he's trying to reach out to Bonnie of course.
He gets the Road Atlas and Kai is able to get him to touch it long enough, but then it slips through his fingers. All cos of Liv, thanks a lot, you interfering witch!! ha. Okay some of you my want to rhyme words here. Let's see what rhymes with witch. Jeremy wakes up and tries to stop her from killing Kai. Cutlery fight! Elena also finds that she and Damon are stuck in the room upstairs cos Kai is wounded. Jeremy takes him into the kitchen and makes him take him back to Bonnie. Where he finds Bonnie drinking and finally giving up. She heads to the garage to gas herself to death, cos there aren't any other ways. Mentioning she hopes Damon knows how to work that video gadget and how she's giving up cos she can't stand being alone. Jeremy tries to stop her and hits the garage door button over and over and she resigns to finally changing her mind and not wanting to die. She gets up after he finally hits the button and the door opens. All she sees is the sun and just for a moment you wish her to see Jeremy there, but of course that'd be too easy.
Funny part, or not, when Kai tries to burn Liv, but can't do it, then questions himself and then wills himself to kill her. Again is this part of Luke talking and was absorbed into him in the merge. Kai as said wouldn't just turn good overnight and where was Jo in all of this. Absurd to think Liv didn't want to through with the merge and then she thinks she can kill Kai, when she was the one who was the weaker of the two, where was she two eps ago? Bonnie comes back into the house, drinking water and finds the atlas with Nova Scotia marked on it and calling Damon a genius. Yeah maybe in another life. Oh the other funny scene when Damon knocks a hole in the upstairs chimney and throws down the expensive bottle of booze, sending Liv flying back and unconscious. Oops another bottle of booze gone! So Bonnie drives off to NS.
Caroline (Candace Accola) digs for Cuddles with Stefan (Paul Wesley) standing around for moral support, ha, as he watches her and then teases her at the same time. All in an effort to let her anger go and to let it out. Even asking if he sees an M&M there. She finally has enough and conks him with the shovel and then drinks. Stefan notices the teddy's ear sticking out, before Caroline rips his head off, the bear's that is. Finally apologizing to him and they hug, but many's out there would've wanted them to share a passionate kiss I'm sure.
Enzo (Michael Malarkey) meanwhile compels Matt (Zach Roerig) to sweet talk Sarah Salvatore (Tristin Mays) and he messes up with the camera pick up line. He then compels him to have another go by taking away his jacket, so Matt tells her his friend drove away and left him, with his jacket and phone in the car. Enzo saying he was testing him and he rates her as a 9 in terms of purity. By the time he's finished he wants her to see how bad she can be and get her to a one. But she'll do it by herself and with some goading from him. Not to mention the fact that he then wants her to beg him to turn her into a vampire. SO during all this vendetta against Stefan going on, did he stop to think about what Damon would say. Someone should just tell him about Sarah anyway.
So Elena gets it on again with Damon after admitting that she was human then and so had morals (yeah right) and now she's a vampire she doesn't care about all that and wants Damon anyway. Cue bed falling moment. Had a feeling Elena only changed her mind cos Damon reminded her she wanted Stefan, went over the bridge and then when she turned into a vampire, Damon was back in the picture again. Really it appears she wasn't thinking for herself, but just decided she wants him cos of this and that she's a vampire now. Tyler's brought Liv back to her dorm room and tells her she betrayed him and lied to him. That after everything she still went to get herself killed by Kai and he's over her. He never wants to see her again. Let's see how long that lasts.
It was Bonnie's birthday and yet there wasn't much of Bonnie in this ep. Just a lot of others thinking about themselves again and Elena of course! She tells Jeremy he should move on from Bonnie cos that's what she wants him to do and he should apply for Art School. Cue comment by Damon that he's not very good at art! What right has Elena to tell him to move on, he can wallow as long as he wants, especially since once again she's giving out stupid sisterly advice. It's his life and who said Bonnie would want him to move on anyway, especially since he's here and there's every chance she will be back.
That entire Enzo storyline is a little like Katherine isn't it. I thought so, not exactly identical, but similar. The entire turning into vampire thing and how she went after Stefan and Damon way back then.
