It's Caroline's birthday, and even though she isn't super into it everyone else decides they are going to make this day eventful! Her party moves to a new venue while Damon and Alaric go to yet another council meeting disguised as a party, and Stefan decides to just be super fucked up. We discuss Stephanie's deep distrust of Dr. Fell, the first hint of Klaroline, the profile of a plain ol' murderer in town, and the game of chicken Klaus and Stefan are playing that really just hurts everyone else. Plus, Tyler figured out he can beat the sire bond but just saying he'd rather not do a favor for Klaus! Wait, that can't be right...

Everyone is wheeling and dealing this episode, and it's too soon to tell who will come out on top! Stefan's got Klaus's coffins and Klaus is none too plased so he's making it everyone else's problem. Tyler finally starts to understand why everyone has been so judgmental about the sire bond, and Ric dies again! But this time, it's worse - until he meets the beautiful Dr. Meredith Fell. Can she be the first member of the Fell family to be more than a blip in our character's lives? Only time will tell. Finally, Delena stans? I hope you're hungry!!!

It's time for the homecoming dance, and as we all know a school dance means a plan is afoot. And you know how this group does plans: badly! When the gym gets flooded, Tyler is nice enough to host a party, which everyone quickly realizes he is not capable of throwing considering there is a full band and a bunch of people no one recognizes. We meet some of Klaus' new friends, start to sour on Tyler and Forwood, see an Of Mice and Men moment, finally see a weapon that can kill an original, and we get a simultaneously amazing and underwhelming death.

The Originals may be 1000 year old vampires, but as we learn their backstory this episode, we learn they really are ordinary people: they hate their parents, lie to their siblings, and just wanna go to homecoming!

It's Illumination Night in Mystic Falls, so everyone is in the town square lit only by lanterns, what could go wrong? Damon quickly guesses which ghost is after him, and that door to the other side cracked by Vicki swings wide open. We see past friends, lovers, and enemies descend on the town, each with their own mission. We discuss the emotional highs of this episode, the ghost reunion that made us cry the most, and Grace finally lets it slip that she does not like Jeremy, which is fair given his behavior in this episode! And with the help of one surprisingly helpful ghost, our heroes seem to get one step closer to killing Klaus.

It's the first day of school at Mystic Falls HS - go Timberwolves! Coincidentally, it is also Elena and Stefan's quasi-anniversary. That's right, it's only been a year since the events of the pilot! Things have really changed huh! Our rag tag group of humans are now a ragtag group consisting of a doppelganger, a witch, a vampire, a hybrid, a medium, a vampire hunter, and .... one human. Plus, Rebekah joins the student body as its first Original vampire and oh boy does 2011 work for her. This episode has it all - magic, romance, and Alaric's car blowing up (bummer).

Klaus, Rebekah, and Stefan are in Mystic Falls, will the secret living doppelgänger be discovered? No mater what, it's still set to be an eventful senior prank night, where the Mystic Falls High seniors really dug into the first page of the "prank ideas" google search results. Almost everyone is at the school, from our heroes, to our villains, to Chad and Dana! Naturally those who are most needed at the school are MIA, as a new hybrid attempt hits close to home and everyone is looking for leverage. But above all, Klaus is working his hardest to turn his best friend into a true... rippah.

There's a lot that's disturbing about this episode - Stefan's lackluster manipulation scheme, Jeremy's secret obsession with his dead girlfriends, Damon's temper tantrum that results in a literal corpse, Bill's smug response to being compelled, Gloria's very painful voodoo, and most importantly: the fact that every founding family brought chili to a potluck!
