The AMPire Diaries Episode 25: “The Reckoning” | “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (feat. Michael Chasin)

AMPies, we know you know what time it is. Finally, we’ve reached Morgan’s favorite episode of the series, and finally, we’ve reached senior year for our friends at Mystic Falls High School. And we did both with the help of our resident boy, Michael Chasin (@MichaelChasin). Yes, this week is “The Reckoning” (Season 3, Episode 5) and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Season 3, Episode 6) , so why not take a gander at what we’re talking about:

- That very recent time LaToya accidentally had (but no longer has) Damon's Season 3 hair. (The issue has since been corrected, but it happened.)

- R.I.P. Dana and Chad.

- Morgan flexing her TV knowledge.

- The TVD cast in The Fast and The Furious movies.

- Leverage, and we don’t mean the TNT series.

- Boy-on-boy crime.

- Damo and Kathy's Big Adventure.

- “The Widow” Jeremy Gilbert’s ever-growing body.

- Elena's list of best friends.

- Michael Bay's The Island.

- Our best Klaus impressions.

- The debut of "Tybrid” and the power of coked up Tybrid.

- The Original Witch and how it’s kinda strange she continues to not have a name...

- The Sun and the Moon curse remaining the Prank Sinatra of all curses.

- Wasilewski Swag.

- Ric training Elena to become Buffy-meets-Xena.

- Those sad as heck Donovan kids.

- The secret Mystic Falls drug empire.

- Vikings!

- The Mandy Moore feature film classic 47 Meters Down.

- Something called “the sire bond”? ("It's really rare.")

- Mason!

- Steven!

- Simping for Klaus.

- The most shocking BOY CORNER yet.

- Jill's Season 3 predictions.

And yes, we literally blank on Stephen Amell being on both The Vampire Diaries and New Girl in this episode, despite discussing it when he originally showed up on The Vampire Diaries.

“A SENIOR PRANK NIGHT TO DIE FOR” (“The Reckoning”)

“WELCOME BACK SENIORS” (“Smells Like Teen Spirit”)

The more AMPED logline this time around? First of all, let me just get on my soapbox about this being the second time “...TO DIE FOR” has been used for one of these loglines. Come on, be more original, CW. And I’ll stay on my soapbox to address the fact that last week, we dealt with a logline that was just “FAMILY TIES,” long after already having a TVD episode titled “Family Ties.” Come on. Okay, off the soapbox now. And duh, of course it’s “The Reckoning.”
