Unfinished Businesses
claudio_carvalho16 November 2013
On the day of the Night of the Illumination in Mystic Falls, Mason ties Damon to a chair and the vampire believes that it is a prank of his brother Stephan. Later Mason tells that he is seeking redemption and wants to destroy Klaus to help Tyler. He goes with Damon to a cave with tunnels where it is supposed to have a weapon to destroy the Original Vampire. Elena asks Jeremy whether he may contact Lexi to learn how she can bring humanity back to Stephan, but her brother explains that he has no connection with Lexi. Bonnie goes with Caroline to the place where the witches were burnt and she casts a spell from the Grimoire to bring the dead back. Her grandmother Sheila returns and tells that she must close the passage, destroying the necklace, since the Original Witch is sending every ghost that still has pending business back to Mystic Falls. Meanwhile, the vampires from the tomb also return seeking revenge. Lexi contacts Elena and she starts Stephan's "treatment". Caroline does not find the necklace on the place that Damon told her that it would be and she suspects that Anna has stolen it. Damon can not go ahead through the tunnel that is protected and Mason goes alone. Anna returns the necklace to Jeremy and Bonnie casts a spell; Lexi, Mason, Anna and her mother, the vampires from the tomb and Sheila vanishes.

"Ghost World" is an episode about unfinished businesses. The ghosts return to Mystic Falls to resolve their pending problems during a short period. Elena is an annoying and selfish character that wants Anna back to the afterlife but still wants Lexi in the living world. Her personality associated to the wooden performance of Nina Dobrev in a lead role makes this character almost unbearable. She is unable to perform a dramatic role and stays with the same expression most of the time. It is silly the gossip among the girlfriends (Elena told me that Jeremy kissed Anna), but the rest of the episode is entertaining. My vote is eight.

Elena finally makes women proud...
vered-shmilovich29 October 2011
At that episode Elane finally discovers she is not just a pathetic young girl in love with an extremely unstable man, but a woman who can actually say what she want and do something for it! I liked the fact she found enough courage to see Stefan suffers without turning her face and cry (well - at list not to much...). Stefan - like all men sometimes has to be trained, or in his case re-trained :-)... Hope it is all going to be helpful, cause i miss the sensitive Stefan. Liked him a lot better then this guy. For Damon - he is just great being himself: sweet and cruel. it is funny to realize after 3 seasons that he is the more stable and reliable brother out of the two. It is not something one could see at the first season, but it's nice to know what to expect when it comes to Damon - in the limits of his in-expected (sometimes deadly) reactions. Nice touch regarding the spirits thing - but i missed some information about Mikael and Katherine. What are they up to in the meanwhile?

I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost , Ghost World
ivo-cobra89 May 2013
Mason Lockwood is back not just only hem,Sheila Bennett,Lexi Branson,Frederick,Pearl and Anna all characters from the first season come back in this episode to reminder on the 1st Season Episode #22 Founder's Day of TV Show's longer run The Vampire Diaries.I am glad that Kevin Williamson still stayed in this season he left after third season for his new TV show The Following. Malese Jow,Taylor Kinney,Arielle Kebbel,Kelly Hu,Stephen Martines and Jasmine Guy reprise their roles respectively.

Damon is tortured from Mason Lockwood tied up on the chair and his ring is taken off, Damon first thinks that Stefan did that when he says very low blow Stefan, Stefan denies that and pull the poker stake out off Damon's belly but still leaves him tied up on a chair while Mason open's curtain of the window and let's Damon fry on the sun that really hurt's Mason laughs.The reason he did that was because he wanted to get a little payback for what did Damon do to him in Season 2 a lot of us fans thinks that he come back to get revenge on Damon,but Mason does not want that from Damon he only want's apologize and he want's to help Tyler he doesn't need revenge but a redemption the song in a Lockwood cave remind 's me on Supernatural theme with song Episode 2 Season 2 at the end when Dean is talking about his feelings after their dad died.

Mason and Damon goes in to Lockwood tunnels to look for a weapon for the original Vampires Klaus, Mason tells him to go left but Damon to pride didn't listen him and goes right and sets off a booby trap, getting staked from four different directions and skewered. The stakes are covered in verbena so he can't pull them out.But Mason break's them and pull's them out off Damon's body. I always liked Mason in Season 2 better than Klaus.

Joseph Morgan did not appear in this episode because it was a reminder on the first season's episode Founder's Day.Lexi appears when she hits Stefan and bound him to a chair with chain's in a dark cell room with Elena tries to break him trough so that he could turn's on his humanity, poor Stefan i actually i really feel bad for him after everything he has done to Elena and those poor girls in Tennessee the same goes for Damon, in this season Damon did turn in to a better person than he was in the first season. I love him, Lexi is torturing Stefan i really love his quote's "I will rip you apart,Lexi!" "You can't,i am already dead" poor Stefan but this time he deserve it and got what is coming to him after all, he hurt Elena so much and slaughter so many innocent people. Still i prefer the first season over a third one.

Jeremy see's Anna again previous girlfriend from the first season and when they are kissing in the bathroom Elena catches them.Elena is mad on Jeremy and Anna.Elena,Bonnie and Caroline desperately tries to sent back ghost to the other side and close the spirit door forever. In town Founders Day history teacher is missing and later in the night they found him strung up bloody and dead in a tree.When Bonnie and Caroline are driving they see Vampire's attack on Carol so Caroline step's out to fight all these evil vampire ghosts she is so brave, Bonnie is driving away to destroy that necklace and shut the ghost door forever.

This episode is really good not the best one or worst one, but really is good it end's with a cliffhanger. I seriously miss the first season and wish i would had them on Blu-ray already. The Vampire Diaries is the best TV show out there.

Past Characters Come Back
vivianla26 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I missed so much the characters that died. Mason, Anna, Vicki and Lexi come back in this episode. Wish Aunt Jenna was here too. Mason doesn't want revenge in the end, he just wants to help Tyler. Anna wants to be with Jeremy, she cannot find her mom. Vicki wants to be with Matty. Lexi acts as the wise older best friend who helps Elena get Stefan his humanity back. She looks gorgeous with her dark makeup.

Apparently when you die you are in the other side - a place where you roam around humans as ghosts. You think about your regrets and guilts. Only when you have found peace do you move on.
