Lately, I've only tuned in to Vampire Diaries to see in what way the writers have tried to destroy the show even further. Nothing has really compared to the excellence we got used to in season 3, even season 4 (you can probably tell I'm an avid Klaus-fan). Sure enough, the last few episodes have punched me right in the feels, especially the scenes dealing with Caroline and Liz. However, for the better part of it, I'm just sick of Enzo, Steroline and every other way the show has gone downhill in.
This episode changed my mind. Well, it doesn't excuse season 6 so far, but it was fantastic, and truly brought me back to the state of mind in which I was when I got hooked on Vamps for the first time. Some of the scenes even touched my roommate to tears (and he hates the show, referring to it as Vampire Dhiarrea).
All I can say without giving away spoilers is: finally. You won't be disappointed. If you've given up on the show, at least try to push through the episodes leading to this one and just enjoy it. Bring tissues.
