Klaus encounters of the dancing kind...
Chalice_Of_Evil20 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Heh, Klaus asking "Who is this guy? Safari Sam?" - in reference to Alaric - amused me, as did him asking Katherine about the shirts ("Bad or badder?"). If Alaric is consciously trapped inside his own mind while Klaus controls his body, he's going to be grumbling to himself about Klaus dissing his clothes. I also liked him not wanting to bring Elijah back (that guy is indeed a buzzkill). And yes, the fun is most certainly just beginning - like the fun Matt Davis is having with playing Klaus. He must be relieved to finally have something meaty to work with.

Funny moment, with Stefan and Damon walking to enter the house which was once theirs, but not being able to since they signed it over to Elena. I liked Elena inviting Stefan in happily, but then asking Damon if he'd obey her rules (and him telling her flat-out "No."). The difference between her attitudes towards Stefan and Damon always provides humour.

Whoa...Elena actually attending school! When did we last see this? I can't remember. Heh, Stefan shaking his head at Elena showing him the 60's Decade Dance poster.

I liked seeing Bonnie fling Damon across the room to prove her point. Didn't like seeing Katherine's many-times-stabbed leg, however. Though Alaric-Klaus continued to amuse, like when he clarified to his vamp crony that Bonnie could hurt him in Alaric's body ("I'm a haggard history teacher. She could easily hurt me...I mean, not Klaus Me, but...you know what I mean."). By the way, what is up with Alaric's hair? He's combed it up by his ears in a way that is sorta looks like there's a mini mullet sticking out at the back of his head. It's really distracting.

Klaus dancing was pretty funny, and so was Damon channeling Joey Tribbiani with his "How you doin'?" to Elena when he danced with her. Actually, I liked all of their dance together (including Damon's impressions of the last dance they were at - complete with all the high-pitched "AHH!" reactions he was making).

Klaus vs. Bonnie was fairly interesting (lots of bone-snapping goodness. Poor Alaric's body, though). Made for quite a show. That's gonna hurt in the morning. Good job once again, Nina Dobrev, with the reactions. Her portraying Elena's pain over seemingly dead Bonnie was very believable. And I am SO glad Elena finally addressed Damon talking to Stefan as if Elena wasn't standing right in front of him - that was getting extremely annoying and I hated whenever Damon did that. Good punch, Elena! He deserved it.

I didn't think even for a moment that Bonnie was really *dead* dead. This show has done many unexpected things, had lots of twists and turns, and taken more risks/shown more balls than any other shows I've watched in a long time...but truly offing Bonnie? Didn't believe it for a second (then again, maybe the show wasn't expecting us to? I'm glad they didn't drag out the "Is Bonnie REALLY dead?" question for long, since we already knew the answer).

Interesting thing Damon had to say to Stefan - about how he (Damon) will, at the end of the day, be the one to keep Elena alive. He is certainly willing to take more risks than Stefan, that's for sure. Damon apparently follows the rule of 'Whatever it takes', while Stefan follows the rule of 'Whatever it takes...as long as it doesn't upset Elena'.

I did like seeing Elena and Bonnie talking via the laptop, and that Bonnie apologised for not telling Elena the plan whilst Elena didn't care about that, she only cared about seeing Bonnie alive.

I also liked Damon's "I will always choose you." to Elena.

Oh, Elena...WHY are you bringing back Elijah and his bad hair? After all you did to stab him with that knife, you're now just letting him go? Not sure this is a good thing. Yes, I know you want to find another way to kill Klaus (that doesn't end with Bonnie dying), but do you really think Elijah won't want to off everybody upon waking up?

Although this was the episode with the 'big fight', I think I liked last episode a little more. Probably the best thing *this* episode had going for it was Matt Davis playing Klaus. And, huh, isn't anyone worried for Alaric's safety? I'm sure Jenna would be...you know, if she had a CLUE what was going on. Where is she anyway?

And Elena, Again, With Her Action, Will Be Probably Responsible for the Next Shows
claudio_carvalho4 November 2013
Klaus uses his power to compel Katherine to torture herself and he discovers that Bonnie is a powerful witch now. Maddox uses a spell to protect Klaus and he goes to the high-school party based on the 60's using Alaric's Body. Meanwhile Stefan and Damon transfer their house to Elena to have a safe house for her. Jeremy, Bonnie, Elena, Stefan and Damon go to the dancing party and Klaus creates a distraction to abduct Elena and Bonnie with the intention of killing her by overusing her powers to vanquish him. Matt lures Caroline and plots a scheme with Sheriff Forbes.

"The Last Dance" is a good episode where the death of Bonnie is fortunately well resolved. I feel sorry for the naive Caroline, and what might happen when she discovers Matt's betrayal. And Elena, again, with her stupid action in the end of the episode, will be probably responsible for the next shows. Why Damon did not bury Elijah's remains? My vote is seven.

60s Dance
vivianla20 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Elena signs the deed to have it under her name. Bonnie comments she wouldn't want to clean the home and they smile.

Mr. Henry leaves and the Salvatore brothers aren't able to come inside without being invited. Elena invites Stefan in and makes Damon promise her to keep no secrets.

Elena and Bonnie head off to school to the dismay of the Salvatore brothers who thought they would stay in their home as a safe house. At school in history class, Elena playfully shows Stefan a poster of the dance. Stefan shakes his head no so Elena turns to Bonnie who says yes. Klaus who is in Alaric's body eyes Elena.

In the cafeteria, Dana comes up to the table and tells Elena a hot guy named Klaus asked her for the last dance.

Bonnie fakes her death at the dance with only Damon knowing of the plan. Klaus thinks Bonnie is dead but she actually had a spell on her. She wakes up in the building where the witches were burned.

Damon tells Stefan there was no way he could tell Stefan the plan Bonnie and him made because he would have blabbed to his girlfriend.

Elena goes to Damon's room and apologizes for hitting him. Damon says he would always choose her over the witch.

Elena leaves and goes downstairs. She pulls the knife out of Elijah.
