VAMPIRE DIARIES - Season 4 Premiere; Growing Pains

To say that everybody was overly excited with the season 4 premiere of Vampire Diaries is an understatement but to say that it is an amazing episode would also be an understatement.

The premiere started with Elena (Nina Dobrev) asking Stefan (Paul Wesley) if she's dead. Elena, yes you are. You are very dead and will be an undead if you made it through the transition a.k.a feed, else you'll be back to being dead.

ELENA, THE WHINY VAMPRESS-TO-BE
The fourth season first episode picks up directly the next morning after Matt (Zach Roerig) and Elena went off the Wickery Bridge with Ms. Gilbert asking Stefan to save Matt first. Matt was saved but Elena drowned in the murky waters of the river that took her parents' lives. But a-ha! She has Damon's vampire blood in her system due to an earlier injury where Dr. Meredith Fell (Torrey DeVitto) injected the blood. So, we all know what's going to happen but as usual, Elena has to go through denial and asking the Salvatore brothers why didn't they just let her die. Yes, she woke up with both the brothers at her side. We all wish we're in Elena's place instead, no?


Next we see Elena having some major transition headache since all senses are heighten once you're a vamp so Elena's going through all of that while crying "I don't want to be. I can't be a vampire!" You feed or you die, that's how Damon (Ian Somerhalder) sums it up and we all know that. So Elena should really just feed and stop being in denial. Yes, you will die if somebody decides to stake you in the heart but then again, who doesn't?



DARK JUJU 
Elsewhere in Witch-Land, Bonnie (Kat Graham) thinks she could bring back Elena's spirit same to what she did when Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) when K.O. We all know that's impossible because Bonnie is just a very lame, powerless witch and each time she conjure up some spell, her nose bleeds or she faints; next comes Gramps or some other witches warning her about the balance of nature. And so they did! Or at least Gramps did. Bonnie's grandmother warned Bonnie in the other-side saying that she should not go around dark magic as there's a price to pay and that Bonnie should not save Elena.

Damon, on the other hand is heartbroken and angry. He hates that Elena chose Stefan, AGAIN. He hates that Stefan saved Matt first upon Elena's request but most of all, he hates Matt with a capital H and takes it out on him whenever he can.


Having been warned by Gramps that she should not attempt to use dark magic again, else there will be a HUGE price to say, Bonnie told Jer that she couldn't do it. Just as she decides not to use any dark juju, the resident OV (Original Vampire), Klaus (Joseph Morgan) walks in, in Tyler's (Michael Trevino) body (not before saving Caroline from the town council and making out with her until she realized that he's not Tyler). OV Klaus demands Bonnie to send him back into his own body else, he will rip out Tyler's heart and that means no werewolf sex for Caroline. Left with no other option, Bonnie used her dark juju to restore Klaus into his own body and a price had to be paid. The price was Bonnie's gramps going all dark-veiny and shouting. Wait, can the dead...die again?
Looks like Klaus got what he wanted. A 1-on-1 session with Caroline.
VAMPIRE EXTERMINATION MISSION

Speaking of the town council, Pastor Young is now in-charge and he is out on a Vampire Extermination Mission. First he flat out fires Dr. Meredith saying that Alaric Saltzman told them everything, then he vervained Caroline (Candice Accola) and Rebekah (Claire Holts) but Car was saved by Klaus and bad OV Klaus left sister OV behind, resulting in Rebekah very furious and destroy several of brother OV's doppelganger blood supply for his army of hybrids; Klaus later snaps Rebekah's neck. Ouch, talk about tough love.
OV, Rebekah isn't too happy with Klaus.
Back at the farm, a (compelled?) Pastor Young passes out vervain to the rest of the Founder’s Council members. He locks the door and opens the gas valve on the stove. “Friends, we are the beginning,” he says. Then, before the council members figure out his suicidal tendencies, Pastor Young takes out his lighter, flips the lid, and blows a quarter of the Mystic Falls’ adult population off the map. So are they coming back as spirits to continue the Vampire Extermination Mission?
