This show just keeps trying to keep viewers interested but it just fails.  I mean why keep mentioning Elena every episode, it's like wanting Nina Dobrev back and quite frankly that's one reason why the ratings have plummeted.  The other being the abysmal stories.  Who can be interested in the Heretics, such boring, one dimensional characters.  Even their accents grate!  If the show wanted Nina to stay why didn't they try all means possible to convince her to, what's the point of wanting her back now. And not much respect for her if she does return after leaving and making it final!  The show won't get anywhere if they keep treading on Elena ground.

This episode shows why Damon (Ian Somerhalder) came to see Alaric (Matt Davis) three years from now (sounds like it's dragging on a bit!)  He's with Caroline (Candace King) and that's understandable especially as now, Valerie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and Alaric find that Jo's (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) babies were 'transferred' magically into Caroline by the Gemini coven, to keep their coven alive.  That's just to put a spanner in the works with her and Stefan (Paul Wesley) which quite frankly seems pointless them getting together in the first place.  Especially since they're on opposite sides now in that he lost his baby due to Julian (Todd Lesance) and she's carrying Alaric's.  As he told Damon, he wanted to be a father. Damon also brings up the question, having to mention Elena again (yawn) and how it wasn't an issue until she became human again.  Then it was a possibility.  So he's on board with killing Julian whenever.  Though he did spoil proceedings when he blabbed to Julian about Stefan's plan to kill him with a pool cue whilst at the pool table!  He didn't do anyone any favours.

Which further compounds Stefan wanting to kill Julian sooner rather than later, six months in the Damon calendar!  But Damon's on board and though they failed dismally at this attempt, at the so-called 'peace' inducing dinner party (read something else for peace! ha).  Lily (Annie Wersching) deluding herself things are so wonderful in Mystic Falls right now and what does Julian do.  Try to kill her precious sons.  Mind you, as expected Julian is no saint.  He's out to make trouble behind Lily's back, so much for him being the love of her life.  He's setting the gruesome twosome against each other, that's Mary Louise (Teressa Liane) and Nora (Scarlett Byrne) as well as ensuring they satisfy their blood lust.

Of course we can see Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Enzo (Michael Malarkey) getting together down the line cos they just have that love/hate thang going and he tells her to be his plus one at this dinner. Stefan telling Damon Lily's gotten rid of his TV in his room!  As if that's the scope of their woes! Also he doesn't tell Caroline about his lost baby as she plans on riding Valerie out of the country. let's see, Liverpool as a Pettigrew, which Valerie liked.  Don't fool yourself Caroline, she's not going anywhere.  So much for trust between her and Stefan.  They just don't fit together, now they are together.  Guessing that won't be for long!

Meanwhile Matt (Zach Roerig) and Bonnie follow the caterer to the school, where they meet some others and need to help them.  As Alaric has to say goodbye to Jo and gets the chance to seeing as he didn't in reality.  Caroline's vampire blood doesn't save her.  It was the wrong vampire soul in the wrong human body.
