WRITTEN UPDATE

9. Stefalena share a romantic weekend getaway.
To escape her creepy uncle-daddy, Elena decides to take Stefan to the Gilbert family lake house ' a place she hasn't visited since her parents died. And you know what? Aunt Jenna lets her go. We're not sure if that makes Jenna a cool guardian or a careless one. But we've got a suggestion: Since the Gilbert's have a second home, why doesn't John just live there?

8. John Gilbert acts like a "wick" with a "D."
Speaking of the devil, Uncle-Daddy Dearest spends the entire episode snaking around, trying to stake his claim on the Gilbert household. When Aunt Jenna tells him she let Elena go off with Stefan, he calls her a bad parent. He then goes on to tag Alaric as a liar. (Oh the irony!) "Did he ever tell you what happened to his wife?" he asked. Later, when John runs into the history teacher, he has the nerve to demand Alaric return the resurrection ring Isobel had given him. "That belongs to me," he says. Oh, really? Then whose ring did Uncle John give to Jeremy? We're just asking.

7. Elijah schools Damon. Again.
When the elder Salvatore approaches Elijah at his guest lecture about small Virginia towns, the O.V.'s not having it. He effortlessly smashes Damon against the wall and holds him there. "I'm an original. Show a little respect," he tells D. "Whenever you cease to be of use to me, you're dead. So you should do what I say." Then he stabs Damon in the neck with a pencil. For emphasis. Dang. What a way to take our cocky boy down a notch.

6. Bonnie sticks it to Luka.
Determined to find out the real deal behind the whole Elena-Elijah partnership, Bon-Bon decides to do her crew a favor by getting the deets from Luka. She meets Luka at the Grill and hands him a cup of mocha-frappa-sleepy-time; then she lets Jeremy catch the warlock as he falls the freak out. "What kind of witch roofie was that?" Jeremy asks as he drags Luka out of the restaurant. "A strong one," Bonnie replied. No kidding. He wakes up, incapacitated, laying in a circle of candles with Bonnie forcing him to tell the truth. He pleads for her to stop. But Bon-Bon is on a mission. What does she discover? That the Martins are helping Elijah because he's holding Luka's sister captive. Oh, and "Elena has to die."

5. The Brady Bunch kidnaps Damon.
That tiny wolf Stevie has skills. He sneaks into the Salvatore manse, knifes Alaric, and stabs Damon with a Vervain-filled syringe, taking both men down all by his lonesome. Afterwards, Jules saunters in for the where's-the-moonstone interrogation. And things get bloody. But even though he's wearing a shrinking spiked collar around his neck, Damon keeps his cool. "Let me tell you how this is going to go," he warns Jules. "You're going to torture me. I don't talk. Somebody loses a heart."

4. Elijah saves Damon's life. Again.
Hey, we can't say Damon didn't warn them. Just as Jules' interrogation gets too gory for prime time, Elijah steps in and breaks up the snuff party. He places the coveted moonstone on the table. Then when the wolves go for it, he snatches three hearts out in two seconds. (Looks like the heart snatch is Elijah's signature move.) Scared and too slow to escape, Tiny Wolf Stevie tries to hide inside his coat. (Dude literally squats down and pulls his jacket up over his head. Hilarious!) Amused, Elijah asks him, "What about you sweetheart?" before going Ong-bak on him with an elbow to the face. "You realize this is the third time I've saved your life now," Elijah says tells Damon as he frees him. Yeah. But, who's counting?

3. Stefan kills Brady.
While Jules was busy casting Damon in a snuff film, Tyler and her best dog Brady went doppelganger hunting out at the Gilbert family lake house. Did we say Tyler? Yes, Ty. The new wolf decided to help Brady because Jules told him that if the werewolves used Elena to break the curse, then he wouldn't have to go all teen wolf once a month. Out at the house, Brady made easy prey of Stefan, sneaking up on the vamp and shooting him. But he also made two big mistakes. His first was handing the gun to Tyler to watch Stefan. The second was not telling Ty that Elena would have to die in order for the curse to be lifted. When Stef set the record straight, Ty switched sides and Stefan ripped Brady's throat out. Game. Over.

2. Jeremy and Bonnie kiss!
And it's about damn time! So we'll cut to the chase: Jer and Bon-Bon locked eyes. Bonnie stammered on about him being Elena's little brother and whatnot, then she made a Freudian slip. "Overnight you've turned into this hot guy who's really sweet," she said. "You think I'm hot?" Jeremy asked. Before she could answer he stepped to her, leaned in, and'. Smoochie-smooch! His kiss literally took Bonnie's breath. "Wow," she sighed when he pulled back. We echo her sentiment: Wow.

1. Tyler leaves town.
It has been a crazy couple of weeks for Mystic Falls' top jock. And Tyler can't take it anymore. So tonight, a few days after he turned into a werewolf for the first time and helped torture Caroline, and mere hours after he witnessed a dozen or so deaths and almost got Elena killed, he decided to leave town. He packed one bag, left a note for his mother, told Matt to take care of Caroline, then climbed into the truck with Jules. "I can't stay here," he said. "Not like this." And he's not crying wolf.

[I didn't have time to write it myself.] And i was too lazy to add pictures so if you want specific ones, let me know and i'll post em here.

@anjy!!! LMAo!! {=))]🤣🤣 diss was hillariousss!!!! 🤣🤣 onlyy u wudd have donee diss!! u havee leftt me speechl;ess btt rolffull!! 🤣

Z-Cap

"Vampire Diaries" fans, I hope you have tissues handy tonight, because "Crying Wolf" is quite the tearjerker. I've been waiting for this episode (slash dreading it) since early December and I'm so glad the cat is finally out of the bag so that I can cry about this stuff in public. Because there's nothing I love more than public crying.

We'll get to that later. On tonight's "Vampire Diaries," Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) hit the road in Stefan's tiny awesome Porsche, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) goes to a tea party, and my heart gets run over by a crazy werewolf lady in a truck. Cheers!

8:00 p.m. - Previously on "The Vampire Diaries," Mason was alive, Damon and Stefan had an entire conversation with their eyebrows, and Caroline proved to women everywhere that it's possible to spend a night locked in some creepy supernatural torture-po*n RV and walk away with perfect hair.

8:01 - Yeah, Jules. When it's your friends' bodies getting tossed into a campfire, it's not so fun, is it? Man, I love to hate her. The villains on this show are just so fun to watch. All of the bad guys in play right now - Jules, Brady, Elijah, Katherine, Uncle John, etc - light up the screen in as intriguing a way as the protagonists. You hate them, but at the same time, you don't really want them to go anywhere.

Oh, wow. Stevie is the Jesse Eisenberg of werewolves. I can't see his feet. Is he wearing f***-you flip flops? I like how he says "manwitch." I approve.

There's an interesting moment here. Mason apparently shook Stevie down for answers about the moonstone -- so if he figured out the purpose of it, he did know what Katherine was up to. Or "Kathy," as they call her. Gross. I always thought she was keeping him in the dark about the moonstone's connection to the curse.

8:02 - Slumber party! I love Elena getting shoved out of bed. If I was trying to sleep in after a traumatic night of being a psychotic werewolf's pincushion, I wouldn't want to hear the phone ringing, either. (Not now, Dana.)

Ugh. Elena is being That Girl, who can't get through the whole slumber party without the baby-I-miss-you boyfriend call. I only forgive her because Stefan was the one who arranged the party. Which was sort of adorable.

8:03 - The Mystic Falls Historical Society must be the coolest historical society ever, with all these young him twenty- and thirty-somethings constantly hanging out at their boring events. This time, super-hot news reporter Andie Star, who was covering a murder yesterday, is hot on the investigative trail of the historical society's high tea.

She thinks Damon is terrific now: sweet, and funny, and honest. Yep, he's completely brain-scrambling her. Wasn't last night their first, uh... date? "Have a great day, honey" after a one nighter would make me vomit, compulsion or not. And then there's Alaric, awkwardly kicking gravel at the door.

I don't even care much for Alaric's character -- it's hard to, since he's done jack squat this season -- but I still light up whenever he and Damon act like bros. The writers should stick them together more often, if only for the ensuing tweets. Plus, we get awesome lines like, "Tell me you're not gonna kill him at the tea party."

8:05 - Bonnie, Luka, Zzzzz... MATT! He seemed so resigned and almost sad in last week's episode, but it looks like he slept on it, and he's moved on to pissed off.

8:05 - Finally, Tyler (Michael Trevino) actually demands to know what the moonstone is for. Took you long enough, Lockwood.

I think I've mentioned this before, but it's wont be the first time I've been repetitive. I don't understand why Klaus cares so much about breaking the curse. He's an original, so he's probably figured out the whole daylight savings ring situation, and it's been made very clear that werewolves are scarce and only a threat once a month. He's been ramming his vampire head against this brick wall for well over 500 years. Why!?

Elena should just be called the "evil twin shadow person" from here on out. It's very edgy. Put her hair in a ponytail, she'll walk the walk.

Katherine looks so... normal in that photo with Mason. Mason looks alive and happy. I am sad.

8:06 - Poor Matt. He has to fight with his non-girlfriend and carry a tray of ketchup and salt and pepper shakers at the same time. He's so multitalented.

And then Tyler shows up to talk to her? In public? This kid is like a walking bad decision today.

Matt thinks that Caroline was with Tyler last night! This is all so messed up, but I'm glad to see one of the love triangles on this show actually... being a love triangle. Matt should probably be careful, though. He's very close to getting into a fistfight with his best friend at work, and if he gets fired, he'll have literally nothing to do. Not to mention, it's kind of troubling that Matt makes the argument physical so fast. Even though he doesn't throw any punches -- if he manhandles the wrong guy in Mystic Falls that way, he's going to get his neck snapped.

8:09 - Elena is a very speedy texter. And she even signed off with an "xoxo"! Elena Gilbert is Gossip Girl!

Seriously, though, Tyler sucks right now. I know he's gone through a lot. I don't even want to experience the trauma of watching him turn, ever again, so I can understand that he's desperate to break the curse. But he doesn't even need to take a few hours to marinate on the idea of sacrificing a bunch of his friends for a good cause?

8:10 - I'm so glad that Ford let Stefan keep his Porsche. This moment really wouldn't be the same if they had to pause to comment on how awesome the airbags on the new Salvatore family Ford Focus are.

It is a really good moment, too. It's been a long time since we've gotten to wade into Elena's life before the car crash, and I think it's important to her story.

Stefan and Elena have been so normal-couple lately that his brief moment of not being able to enter her house is a necessary reminder that he's just as much a vampire as his bite-happy brother is. It's also a good reminder that Elena is an excellent liar when she wants to be. I think there's more Petrova fire in this girl than anyone accounts for. Also she's wearing excellent boots. I want them.

8:14 - Elijah, the most formidable villain we've seen yet on this show, fits in just fine at a small town tea party. It's amazing.

8:15 - Boo, Luka. I'm trying really hard to find a place for him on my long list of "Vampire Diaries" Villains Who Are Also Awesome, but I just can't. There's something decidedly unsexy about being his Dr. Man-Witch dad's pawn.

Bonnie is trying to get her to trust him with Frappuchinos while, elsewhere at the Grill, Caroline the boy-reader becomes the first person to clue in to Bonnie and Jeremy's thing, because despite the fact that Bonnie and Jeremy have been living in each others' pockets for half the season, nobody has noticed.

Oh, hey. Witch roofies. That's one way to turn an afternoon into a party.

8:16 - Back at the Creek, Joey reminds Dawson of all the great times she had in Capeside before her mom died of cancer while her dad was cheating on her with a cocktail waitress and trafficking marijuana in excess of ten thousand pounds.

Stefan and Elena dance around the idea of their uncertain future together. They haven't ever talked about all the obvious obstacles of a long-term vampire-human relationship. They continue to not talk about it now... but at least they acknowledge that they're not talking about it.

There's one benefit of Stefan looking about 28 years old, which is that they've probably got a good 15 years together before people start calling Elena a cougar.

8:17 - Look, it's Dorota at the Lockwoods'! I secretly really love this extremely contrived tea party thing, because it's great to have all of the adult characters in one place without all the focus being on the kids' shenanigans. It's a treat to see Alaric really interacting with everyone again.

Uncle John is brilliantly irritating, acting all superior about Alaric's slumber parties at the Gilbert house. Hey, Johnny, somebody's got to be a father figure to those kids.

8:18 - So many good showdowns happen in Mayor Lockwood's study. Damon makes it clear to Elijah that he knows about the deal with Elena... and then Elijah makes it clear to Damon that if he feels like killing him, he totally can. Then Elijah jams a pencil into Damon's jugular just to prove a point. "I'm an original. Show a little respect. The moment you cease to be of use to me, you're dead."

8:24 - It feels weird to have an episode without any interaction between Damon and Elena, but I don't mind the break in the action to see Stefan and Elena acting like... normal 50-year-old married people. Seriously - it's kind of sweet to see her cozy up with a glass of wine while he chops veggies like he's Katherine with Uncle John's fingers.

Time out: If that's an actual photo of baby McQueen, I'm going to die. Time in.

This song is so, so, so old school WB that I feel like if I close my eyes and open them again, I'll see Felicity Porter making a tape for sally in her UNY dorm room while Noel hovers awkwardly at the door. Soundtrack junkie moment? It's "You Wait For Rain" by Kyler England, and it's incredibly apt. Lyrics like "at the end of the day, you wait for rain and I chase the storm" do a rather poetic job of expressing the major divide between Elena's self-sacrificing nature and her friends' determination to fight the inevitable.

Uh, the whole thing with Elena's great grandfather's hunting jacket is not hot. It's a total mood-killer... as is the way Stefan starts tearing away at the wall of her parents' house without so much as hesitating to ask her.

Oops. There's a vampire hunting arsenal that would impress a Winchester. Looks like Elena's mom and dad were more involved in the whole family legacy than she knew.

8:27 - Aww. General blushing Jeremy adorableness. How great is it that Caroline and Bonnie are having a completely typical girl-talk sesh about a crush... while hovering over the body of a boy they're about to witchpnotize into telling them secrets about a magical rock that will bring an end to a centuries-old war. Just another Thursday in Mystic Falls, kids!

8:28 - Alaric was at a tea party with his girlfriend... and yet, he went home with Damon for a nightcap and a recap? I love these two. And Alaric's right, Elijah does have nice hair. I like how he tosses it around.

Then Jules and her merry band of douchebags are crash the Boys' Club. This sucks.

I hope that in the future we find out more about just what powers werewolves do have when the moon isn't full. Mason was agile and had superhuman strength - not quite vampire strength, but still - and these guys are jumping around like acrobats.

8:34 - Okay, Tyler, last night when you were about to let Caroline out of her torture chamber, and you hesitated? That was bad. This time, when you're about to go hunt down a childhood friend? Hesitation is good. Very very good.

Brady is phenomenal. Despite the fact that he's more animal than human and he lives in a dingy RV and he roves around like a vagrant, he still speaks with this calculated, clipped diction that sounds almost snobby. It's perfect.

8:35 - Uncle John's my-fingers-are-delicate glove will always be funny. Also, I'm not particularly invested in the Alaric/Jenna of it all, but if she hooks up with John again, I don't know if I'll ever recover from the grossness.

8:36 - "Oh, the irony of this moment right now," Damon chokes as the werewolves torture him for moonstone information. It's kind of nice to see Damon get the Damon treatment. It reminds us that as desperate and violent and crazy as the werewolves are right now... our "good guys" were once just as desperate and violent and crazy. There are two sides to this, now, and both sides might actually have a point.

This is pretty gory, though. I bet Somerhalder had a blast with it.

8:38 - We're getting a ton of information out of ManWitch Jr. It's good to know that Bonnie has the ability to get inside someone's head like this -- she should do it every time anyone new comes to town. This could've cleared up a whole lot of crazy back with Mason's arrival.

So here's what we know now, thanks to Luka. Elijah's goal is to kill Klaus, which is why Jonas and Luka are working with him. Klaus has Luka's sister in captivity -- he's doing experiments of some kind to try to find a way to break the curse without a doppelganger. The kicker here is that in order to kill Klaus and save the sister, Elena will have to die, because the doppelganger sacrifice ritual weakens Klaus.

I think my favorite part of this scene is the sudden parallels drawn between Jeremy and Luka. Jeremy has seen Luka as a threat to his relationship with Bonnie, but there's something much bigger at stake in their petty rivalry now. When this all pans out, one of these boys stands to lose his sister. It's a tragedy.

8:39 - Oh. Stefan alone in a shed. No one around to hear him scream. I wonder what will happen now. Since I have never seen a scary movie... Ever.

8:44 - I just don't understand how Tyler got to this point, where he's so desperate that he's willing to help kill Elena. I know that he doesn't have much of an emotional connection to her -- he's probably the only person in all of Mystic Falls whose every action isn't borne out of a need to protect Elena at all costs. But wouldn't he at least consider other options before killing someone he's known his entire life?

"I can't be like this forever," he says desperately. As usual, Trevino is killing it in this scene. Tyler's wild-eyed desperation is so far removed from Michael Trevino's off-screen personality that I often forget that I know the actor at all.

Ah. So Tyler didn't know Elena was dead meat. Everything makes much more sense, now. What'd he think they were going to do, though? Buy her dinner, ask her politely to snap her doppelganger evil twin shadow person fingers and lift the curse?

8:48 - Even sans ponytail, badass butt-kicking Elena remains. Recently, I spoke to Julie Plec and she compared Elena to Buffy, in some ways -- and at this point, I'd have to agree. It's been a long time since Elena has had to be saved by anyone but herself.

Now if only the men in her life would clue into that fact.

She's really taking names in this scene with Brady. She arms herself, she takes action, she plays it smart, and she leads him straight to Stefan... who promptly rips out his heart.

Forgive me, but it gives me pause that Elena doesn't flinch at watching her boyfriend rip a guy's heart out right in front of her. I mean, I know it's a bad guy, but still... he just ripped a heart out. The thing was practically still pumping in his fist when she threw herself into his arms, all "my hero!"

I'm concerned that she's getting heart goop in her hair, okay?

"I didn't know what they were going to do to you. I didn't," he says. "I just don't want to be like this anymore." Again, her hug with Tyler seems odd to me, too. It's sweet that she's so quick to forgive and sweet that she's offering him comfort, but as far as we've actually seen on this show, they barely interact.

8:49 - How great is it that as Damon is confronted with excruciating pain, he still keeps that condescending smirk on his face? Somerhalder is genius -- I particularly enjoy his "I'm impressed" face when Elijah starts plucking hearts out of chests like he's cherry picking.

Side note: Did Stevie just try to hide from Klaus by curling up into the fetal position on the floor and huddling in his jacket? I like this guy. He's like werewolf Slater meets twitchy Zuckerberg wannabe. I do wonder - did Elijah leave Stevie alive? I think his neck snapped, but I'm not sure. I'd assume so.

8:53 - The fact that the first thing Alaric does after waking up from a "dead" (heh) sleep is call Jenna. It's sweet. I'm glad he's making an effort not to lie to her, even if "I fell asleep" stretches the truth a little thin. Obviously, Jenna is right to doubt Alaric. His greatest betrayal, I think, is the involvement of Elena and jeremy. They're Jenna's priority, and whenever anything happens that involves one of them and Alaric leaves her out of the loop, he's messing up big time as a boyfriend, as a father figure, and just in general as a man.

8:53 - Everyone is keeping everyone else in the loop! It seems like everyone is realizing that the more secrets they keep from each other, the more likely people are to get hurt.

I'm impressed that Elena was aware of Elijah's careful omission of any promise to protect her, specifically. "If it comes down to the people that I love getting killed or me I know what my choice is going to be," she says confidently. I think Stefan should be able to understand that side of her. No one wants to be the last one standing in the rubble.

"How could you stand out there earlier with me, talking about making plans for our future when you don't even expect to have one?" Stefan asks, really taking her to task and demanding honesty and consistency.

I think they both have a point here. If he really believed that he'd lived enough, he wouldn't have had that insatiable urge to get involved in Elena's life when he first returned to Mystic Falls. He still feels that life is worth living, so their ages shouldn't really matter when it comes to the game of no-you're-the-bigger-martyr. Wesley's fantastic at playing pissed-off Stefan. I could watch him like this for hours.

8:55 - It's pretty weird that Bonnie and Jeremy are having their big moment in Caroline's empty house. First of all... shouldn't Bonnie have a house of her own at this point? Second of all... not very epic. That said, it's been a long time coming, and I think Jeremy and Bonnie are adorable. And that kiss was hot.

8:57 - Another absolutely perfect song - "Family Tree" by Matthew West. I was crying from the first line ("You didn't ask for this"? Story of every Mystic Falls resident's life) but then again... I know what's coming.

I'm curious - when you guys saw Tyler's note to his mom, did anyone else get scared and think he was going to kill himself? With all of his "I can't stay like this" talk, and the revelation that it's the curse or Elena dead, I think that my mind might've made that assumption if I hadn't already known about the end of this episode in advance.

I really want to know what that note says. Maybe, "Hey mom, going to meet Mason in Florida for some surfing!" She seems to be gullible about stuff like that. Carol Lockwood has always been a bit of a failure as a parent, focused on clout and prestige in the town and not her own son. I don't know how she's going to react here, but I expect we won't see her sending out a search party.

Matt and Tyler! This scene is so heartbreaking. Can't they just hug it out? I'm so proud of Tyler for being a real man here and recognizing that he's not right for Caroline in this moment, but still being selfless enough not to want her to be alone, either. There's something a little creepy about one guy sort of... handing a girl off to another guy, but Tyler's intentions are genuine here.

I also think it says a lot about Matt and Tyler's history as friends that Matt actually lets Tyler finish his speech and doesn't interrupt or get mad or question it. He recognizes that this is a big moment and doesn't get defensive when Tyler says he fell for Caroline, or when Tyler tells him he can't talk about what's been going on.

And now onto the Caroline scene. Again, a selfless move by Tyler. He needs to see her again, but he doesn't even try to say goodbye or to explain himself one more time. Maybe he knows that his leaving would be harder on her if they made up; maybe he's afraid that talking to her would only make things worse. Either way, it hurts my poor delicate heart, and I'm genuinely sad to see him go.

I can understand all the logistics of the choice from the writers' standpoint -- there are other stories to tell, and a lot of time has been spent on Tyler's journey this season while other characters have been on the back burner. I'd imagine that there's also some consideration paid to the fact that in a show with ten regular cast members, it's not feasible for every character to be in all 22 episodes.

That said, the werewolf storyline has been a monumental success this season, and Tyler earned the right to have part two of his big journey happen on-screen, where we can see it. I think it did a disservice to Bonnie when she left Mystic Falls after her grandmother's death, and I worry that the mistake is being repeated with Tyler.

Trevino gets MVP tonight, very obviously. I was really mad at Tyler at the beginning of this episode and by the end, I felt like we were losing a really essential piece of this story. (I have to give an honorable mention to music supervisor Chris Mollere, too, because the song gave that final montage the perfect support it needed to pack a punch.)

If you're wondering about Tyler's fate, I spoke with Trevino about the big goodbye and you can read the interview and watch the video here.

Before you head on over there, though, let me know in the comments below what you thought of tonight's episode. Were you surprised by Tyler's exit? Did you like seeing some more quiet moments between Stefan and Elena? Were you thrilled by the return of the Damon and Alaric bromance? I'm dying to hear your opinions!

And then there's Alaric, awkwardly kicking gravel at the door.

8:06 - Poor Matt. He has to fight with his non-girlfriend and carry a tray of ketchup and salt and pepper shakers at the same time. He's so multitalented.

There's one benefit of Stefan looking about 28 years old, which is that they've probably got a good 15 years together before people start calling Elena a cougar.

as is the way Stefan starts tearing away at the wall of her parents' house without so much as hesitating to ask her.
