The Vampire Diaries 5x03

Elena has been having restless nights dreaming of Stefan as the ripper and he doesn’t have his daylight ring. Trouble is Elena and Katherine are having the same dreams as part of the ‘Doppelganger curse’ Elena and Katherine are sparring off with each other and Damon is playing mediator. I like Katherine as a human she much better with her humanity.

The traveller, Nadia, is now being Silas’ puppet and is instructed to kill Matt. Matt has been possessed by Gregor, the traveller she needed to gain Silas’ trust by killing him but aims to restore Gregor in Matt’s body. Matt arrives home and can’t remember ringing Elena and he has mud all over his shoes.

Stefan has been saved by a stranger, she knows all about Silas. She tells him a story that she is Silas’ one true love (a traveller) and he wanted Ketsia to make an elixir to make them immortal. Complete 180 and it turns out she is ketsia and came through from the other side when Bonnie dropped the veil. Ketsia (Tessa – for the modern world) was due to marry Silas and made the immortality spell for the wedding ceremony but he took the spell before with someone else, Amara (The first Petrova doppelganger I assume as she looks identical to Elena). Betrayed she offered Silas a second chance to take the cure. He refused and killed Amara by giving her the cure. Ketsia created the other side so that Silas would be stuck there instead of in peace with Amara. Ketsia asks for Stefan in helping to take down Silas he agrees.

On the road to try and find Stefan, Katherine is trying to wind up Elena and Damon, by saying she should not be dreaming about Stefan. However, Elena is having none of it and argues why should they keep Katherine around, Damon tells her he intends to keep her as leverage because Silas wants her. When they reach the bar they were looking for they run into Nadia and Elena chases after her. There is a cute Damon/Elena moment when he tells her to be careful as Katherine is not worth the hair on Elena’s head. In the woods Katherine asks Elena why she hasn’t killed her, Elena replies that it is what is left of her humanity. However Katherine is captured by Nadia.

Ketsia seems a bit of a psycho and she had planted the dreams in the girls head to lead them to where Stefan was but she was expecting Katherine as well as Damon. Ketsia aims to link Stefan to Silas in order to weaken his mental state and his mind control. She manages this and in doing so saves Nadia’s life as she was under his mind control to kill herself. Ketsia tells Damon that he has no chance for a happy ending as she has sat on the other side and watched over the century the doppelgangers search for each other and find each other. (i.e. Stefan and Elena are destined for each other)

Silas realises Ketsia is around after she fried his brain and tells Katherine that the cure is running through her veins. Maybe there is a possibility that everyone can be cured.

Damon tells Elena, that they are a lost cause and that the universe is programmed to make doppelgangers fall in love with each other. But he gives a big romantic speech that he loves her. I am loving these speeches there is about one an episode at the minute.

For the final cliff-hanger Stefan wakes up and has complete memory loss he has no idea who Elena and Damon are, handy as he has forgotten all about his love for her. The show just keeps throwing curveballs.

Final Thoughts:

Forgot Stefan did not know anything about Katherine taking the cure Etc.

How will the memory loss affect Elena, will she be hurt he has forgotten her

What’s going on at college? Abandoned the professor storyline

I like Ketsia she seems bad ass.
