As the title suggest today wasn't any different to all the other days they've experienced in the past, especially considering as we all know from past lessons not learnt, in this show, there's no point in having a plan cos they always, always go awry and this was no exception. The siren Sybel (Nathalie Kelley) still playing mind games, okay she wasn't playing, she was for real, but anyway she broke Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and he just seemed to let it all go anyway. Resigned to the fact he's heading straight to hell. But that'd mean no Elena if that happens and again why the self destructive streak Damon? We know he's not the more decent brother of the two, but he made inroads and changes to his life and his character, not least of which was wanting to end the misery for everyone last season by giving up on everyone. You could say again not much has changed there then, hence the title once again, today was not different.
So he gets easy manipulated and Stefan (Paul Wesley) says he's switched off his humanity, was it so easy for him to switch it off anyway considering he's been manipulated by her. (Have to say the show does have almost a knack for casting similar looking brunettes to play the bad girls in this!) But I'm miffed and by that mean we went down the road of vampires, and all that and now we end up with Sybil, all roads leading to hell. Even Alaric (Matt Davis) is pursuing that route with his intern, Gerogie (Allison Scagliotti) and her markings, as well as her finding that pitchfork of the two pronged variety. Nothing makes sense yet it is early days, but I thought the show would probably end as it started with at least a reference, more episodes relating to vampires as opposed to sirens and even hell. Hell is other people to take a title from another season and here Damon has done exactly that again, created his own hell for himself and he's determined to take all with him. Sybil's seen to that. Stefan of course not giving up on him and since he spared Sarah s(Tristin Mays) hows he had some part of Damon and his humanity left in him to overcome her mind control.
Bonnie (Kat Graham) seemed selfish, anymore than usual here then? As she wanted Enzo (Michael Malarkey) back and was determined to drive him away with her. As opposed to him driving her away which is what he wanted so badly. She doesn't take a hint does she, again putting everyone in danger thinking she can save Enzo when she doesn't really know what she's up against, when she can see he's trying so hard to ensure his mind isn't taken over like Damon. Didn't work in the end though, he gives up Sarah Nelson as a name and says he had to give Sybil something tangible, which Caroline (Candace King) and Bonnie found on the Internet, as Stefan said Enzo has to give them a clue. With Stefan putting it together that it's a reference to Sarah Salvatore, their last surviving blood relative. When he said that you knew that was the end for her. Oh and yeah packing was important wasn't it, I mean she couldn't get new things or have then sent on, no she had to pack!
They were indecisive though about how to handle her and leaving Damon wiped out on the floor without restraining him wasn't a good idea. We always know he gets his way. Also Sybil finding out that Damon visits a secret place in his subconscious which of course had to be his last refuge with Elena. His 'happy' place and that didn't last too long either. She had to find that out and substitute herself cos Elena couldn't really appear every episode. Don't like where this is headed at all. As Caroline said at the end it was all for nothing, as usual, since Sarah is finally killed and she doesn't let Stefan save her, mind controlling him too cos again Damon was too weak, only he tells her he's strong. Strong enough to get used again but weak enough to not save himself or even try, which I know would've been too simple. As for Caroline, come on she couldn't have crawled to her ring, instead of having to walk towards it. Why was Stefan so easily mind controlled, she knows nothing about him or his thoughts and he let it happen too.
Another heart to heart with Caroline and Bonnie as she thinks Bonnie is jealous of her and Stefan's happiness, well sure seemed that way. She does want what they have cos poor Bonnie's always being left out and always has to think of and help everyone else. But Caroline realizes she has to be there for her like they used to be, as she also continues writing in the journal for Elena, who isn't really missing much of anything. Think the time was right to call it quits on the show, regrettably I have to say, they weren't really going anywhere with it.
Stefan's building a room for the girls and finally proposes to Caroline in a snogging, roundabout way and yes she would accept. At least it was a nice proposal, and different, without having to beg on his knees! ha.
Georgie appears to be setting him up with the "hot nanny" and how she came back from the dead after causing an accident and is convinced she's also heading to hell. After almost flashing to Alaric, at least that's what he thought. So he's back on the research gig again and raves his findings to the nanny, how trustworthy is she anyway? Sybil finds out about Bonnie cos she just couldn't leave it alone and will be after info on her too now.
The only thing different today was Stefan actually proposing to Caroline, losing their last surviving blood relative and not at Damon's hands for once. She could've gone out the other door couldn't she.
