Poor Caroline. What did this girl ever do to deserve so many evil vampires taking advantage of her? On last night's "Vampire Diaries," newscaster-turned-vampire Logan Fell was the latest to manipulate sweet Caroline. Well, not so much manipulate as smash her head into a car window. But he used her as bait to get to her mom, the sheriff.Logan spent most of the episode torturing and/or threatening Stefan and Damon in some way, trying to figure out how they're able to go out in the sunlight. Of course they wouldn't tell him, so he resorted to violence and threatening the sheriff, who knew that he was dead and thus knew he was a vampire. Hence the Caroline hostage-taking (under the pretense of giving her a ride home). Damon and Stefan stopped Logan's car and rescued the girl, and Damon was about to kill Logan when he finally revealed a clue as to what other vampire could have turned him (because it sure as hell wasn't Damon or Stefan) — someone who wanted the vault under the old church opened too. As you probably remember from last week, Katherine, along with all the old evil vampires from Civil War-era Mystic Falls, are locked in said vault. Since Damon's desperate to rescue Katherine, he let Logan escape so he could find out more information.
Logan didn't get too far, because he had a showdown in the school parking lot with the new teacher, Alaric, who staked him and left him for the sheriff to find. Now, who is this teacher fellow and HOW DOES HE KNOW HOW TO STAKE A VAMPIRE? Is he a vampire himself? Nah, that'd be too easy. I think he's either something even more sinister, or at least someone who will prove to be very dangerous to the vampires in town.
The other notable side plots included Jeremy and Tyler alternating between bonding and fighting, with Tyler's dad (the mayor) getting involved and making the two take their fight outside to the parking lot. That was really weird. Why would he want his son to fight Jeremy in the parking lot? What interest did he have in the outcome? The boys didn't really seem too into the whole fighting thing once they got outside. Luckily Alaric followed the gang and broke up the fight. Intriguingly, as he left, Tyler told Jeremy that he didn't know what was wrong with him or why he felt so aggressive, and the camera focused on the full moon. Again, maybe it's because I'm in a post-"New Moon" haze, but OMG, maybe he's becoming a werewolf!? Or I could be reading into things way too much. That too.
Oh and there's this thing where Elena and Stefan finally professed their love to one another and TOTALLY DID IT. It was beautiful and sweet, up until the point where Stefan left the room to get Elena a glass of water, she found a photo of Katherine, freaked out, and left. This being "The Vampire Diaries," they are contractually obligated to end with something super awesome or terrifying happening, so as Elena drove frantically home, a figure appeared in the middle of the road. She tried to swerve out of the way, but ended up hitting it and flipping her car over. As she lay trapped upside down in her car, she watched the figure pull itself up and walk toward her. Cue bloodcurdling scream, and scene.
