The long awaited, in my opinion at least, premiere of The Vampire Diaries finally aired. The show stars Nina Dobrev (Elena), Paul Wesley (Stefan), and Ian Somerhalder (Damon). The Pilot opens with rolling fog and Stefan explaining that he is a vampire as a couple comes driving through the fog. The fog becomes thick and they then don’t see someone standing in the road and hit them. The girl stays in the car to try calling for help while the man goes to check on the person that he hit. The guy bends over the one on the road and we see a hand with a ring and then the one on the road jumps up and bits and kills the man. The girl unable to get a signal gets out of the car and finds them both gone till his body falls to the hood of the car.
Elena is seen in her window seal writing in her diary. She is basically giving herself a pep talk that she can make it through the day. She will be happy and make it. She goes down stairs to see her Aunt Jenna (Sara Canning) and her brother Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) before leaving with Bonnie (Katerina Graham) to go to school.
Bonnie proceeds to tell her how she found out that she is psychic. She believes that she predicted a lot of different things. Suddenly a crow slams into the windshield and they almost wreck. Bonnie apologizes several times and Elena tells her that she can’t be freaked by cars forever.
Once they are at school Caroline (Candice Accola) comes over to check on her. She was a little over the top and that is how Elena felt about it when Caroline walked off. Bonnie and Elena walk by the office and see Stefan from behind but Elena doesn’t stick around to see him from the front. She sees her brother go into the bathroom and she follows him. She finds that he is high and she says she won’t put up with it anymore. When she leaves the bathroom she runs into Stefan.
Elena after school goes to the cemetery to write in her diary and she sits close to her parent’s gravesite. The fog starts rolling in and the crow shows back up. She gets freaked and starts running thinking someone is following her. She falls and then Stefan shows up and we see that he has the same ring of the one from the beginning of the episode.
We next see Stefan in his room talking about how he almost slipped when he was with Elena because she had gotten hurt. Then we see Vicki (Kayla Ewell) in The Grill working as a waitress. Jeremy is trying to talk to her and she is trying to ignore him. It turns out that they had hooked up a few times when they were on drugs.
Matt (Zach Roerig) asks Bonnie about Elena because he felt weird calling her since she had broken up with him. Elena was leaving her house and Stefan shows up with her journal that she dropped at the cemetery. She is surprised that he didn’t read it but he tells her that he understands that memories or private and secrete. They then go together to the Grill. All heads turn when they walk in together. Matt walks up to introduce himself to Stefan and Matt and Elena have an awkward moment.
Stefan sits with Elena, Bonnie and Caroline and they ask him questions about pasts. Stefan and Elena connect when he says that his parents passed away. She asks him if he has any siblings and he tells her none that he talks to. Caroline then invites him to the party the next day but he asks Elena if she is going.
Mr. Tanner held true to how he was in the book by being mean to everyone and degrading them. Stefan did the gentlemanly thing and stood his ground setting Mr. Tanner straight on the facts.
Stefan shows up to the bonfire and uses his powers to find were Elena is and he finds her talking with Bonnie but before he can get to her Caroline shows up. Bonnie has her first real experience being psychic. Elena was playing around giving her a beer bottle to be her ‘crystal ball’ but her eyes went dead while she saw something. She says she saw a crow and a man. Then she snaps out of it and says it was nothing and goes to get another drink.
Stefan shows up after Bonnie leaves and they go for a walk and you also see Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Vicki go off too. Stefan and Elena walk to a bridge and she tells him that her parents died in a crash and somehow she made it. He tells her that she won’t always be sad.
Jeremy comes up to find Tyler getting too close for Vicki’s comfort and tries to help. Tyler walks off and Vicki basically says she isn’t falling for what Jeremy is doing when he is just trying help and be there for her. She walks off into the woods alone to get away from him.
Elena and Stefan talk about how she had been dating Matt but it wasn’t passionate. His eyes start to change and he says he is going to go get them something to drink. We then see Vicki again in the woods and she thinks someone is there. She thinks at first that it is Jeremy and then someone else shows up and it cuts out with her scream.
After the commercial Matt shows up to talk with Elena. He talks about how she is acting different than what she had said when she broke up with him and that he still believed in them.
Caroline finds Stefan again and his eyes are back to normal. She tries to get him to go off with her and he tells her that it isn’t going to happen. Elena goes after Jeremy and they find Vicki with a bite on her neck. Jeremy carries her back to get help. Matt looks up after they have all gathered around Vicki looking at Stefan and to see him sneaking away. Stefan goes home and finds his brother Damon. He had been the one to control the crow and attack the couple in the beginning of the episode and Vicki.
It’s been fifteen years since Stefan and Damon had seen each other. Stefan wants to know why Damon is there and he says it is the same reason that he is, Elena.
Bonnie tells Elena that she can feel that what happened to Vicki is only the beginning.
Damon starts badgering Stefan about Elena’s comparison to Katherine. He tells him to think of how her blood would taste. Stefan gets made and he attacks Damon and they go out the window. Stefan tells him he should leave and Damon sees that as an invitation to stay, especially since he had promised him an eternity of misery.
Elena tries checking on Jeremy but he is drinking and doesn’t want to have it. She tells him that he has to move on and he throws her diary back in face of her not moving on.
Caroline and Bonnie are at the Grill. Bonnie is trying to get Caroline sober so she can get her home. Caroline tries to figure out why Stefan didn’t go got her and Bonnie tells her that it isn’t a competition and after a second Caroline says it is.
Matt is with Vicki in the hospital. She comes to and tries to talk and he tries to tell her not too. She is able to get one word out, vampire.
Elena is writing in her diary again saying how she was wrong. She couldn’t put a happy face on. Damon says he was wrong too. He could start a new life with someone. Elena says everything follows you. She says you have to try and find the good and let it in. She then sees Stefan outside. He wanted to see if she was okay. Elena says to ask her tomorrow and invites him in. Then we see Damon and Caroline first see each other at the Grill.
