Amazing Development After 12 Episodes!

[Coolmade2000 · 8/10 · 25 January 2022]

I really enjoyed this episode. After 12 episodes, I was hoping the season will progress further to the more deeper moments in the story. This episode to me really delivers that.

I didn't mind Kai's character as a psychotic antagonist, but if the show didn't handle the character the way they handled him in this episode, I would've been close to annoyed at Kai for always getting away from his actions. I'm glad the audience got to see a side of Kai where he finally feels some sense of guilt or emotion all thanks to merging with Luke. Also, I'm more glad to see Chris Wood, the actor portraying Kai, to show his dramatic acting besides playing the role of a psycho. I never saw any of Chris Wood's acting roles prior to this season.

Liv's actions in this episode fits well in this episode. It makes so much sense for her to take revenge on her brother's murderer.

The climax with Jeremy & Bonnie was the best part of the episode.

Kai With Luke's Traits

[vivianla · 23 December 2022]

Damon and Elena have a moment together when they hear Kai announce himself. Elena wonders why he is here and Kai wants them to do a favour for him. Kai wants a letter to be given to his sister Jo. He feels bad for killing their family and for merging with Luke - he comments he now has Luke's traits mixed with his own. He would have been fine with any other trait - the hair, the gayness, etc. However, he has gotten Luke's empathy. Elena and Damon are baffled that Luke would come to them for a favour but Elena suggests they get Luke to do something for them. Kai, Jeremy, Elena and Damon go to Bonnie's 1994 world briefly but cannot physically interact with anything. Damon watches as Bonnie's drinks from the oldest bourbon bottle he has. He realizes that it is because of the pact - Bonnie and Damon made a pact they would drink from the bourbon completely and then kill themselves if they cannot stand another day. Damon got the idea from a film they watched a billion times while there. Liv uses a spell to make Tyler unconscious then goes to the Salvatore house to kill Kai. She stabs Kai which stops Jeremy and Kai from continuing their presence in the 1994 world. Jeremy desperately urges Kai to get him back to the 1994 world. Damon makes a hole in the brick right above the fireplace and then drops the oldest bourbon bottle to knock Liv out with a fire explosion. Bonnie goes the garage and turns on the car. She shuts the garage door and cries as she makes a goodbye video. She remembers her Grams and decides not to die. Bonnie does not have the strength to get up but Jeremy pushes the button for her. Bonnie finds the atlas with the page turned to Nova Scotia and says aloud that Damon is a genius. She gets into the car and heads off for Nova Scotia with the atlas.
