The AMPire Diaries Episode 120: The Vampire Diaries - “A Bird in a Gilded Cage”

Alright, now is the time to get serious, AMPies. We’re in a post-“Downward Spiral” world after all now. Not that any of our Mystic friends seem to really care about that. Oh boy. This week, your favorite Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and still mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast is discussing The Vampire Diaries “A Bird in a Gilded Cage” (Season 6, Episode 17). Which means we’re talking:

- You know, it really is silly to get mad about things that haven’t even happened yet…

- …except for in our case, where we are absolutely right to be furious about things that will happen in the future of the TVDU

- Matty Blue > Matty Blue Lives Matter

- Has any fictional character had more dead parents than Elena Gilbert?

- Trying to make a good impression on your boyfriend’s mass murderer of a mom (it’s harder than you think)

- Are Enzo and Damon even friends anymore?

- Okay, but really: What are they doing (or not doing) with our boy Enzo?

- Watch out, Enzo: There's a new Cruel Intentions plan in town

- LaToya and Morgan’s worst argument yet, over something VERY stupid

- PARKER ABRAMS CAST

- A lot of bleeps, going back to that whole ‘getting mad about things that haven’t even happened yet’ thing

- But Lily Salvatore! She started off so good!

- Looks like Jolly Rancher (singular) is back on the menu, AMPies
