Episode Report Card Cindy McLennan: A- | 8 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT New York Dolls
By Cindy McLennan | Season 4 | Episode 17 | Aired on 03.21.2013
Instead of gloating, Stefan has his own confession to make. "I didn't stop the massacre." Damon says, "Guess Silas has everything he needs. Stefan: "Everything but the cure." I was really hoping Damon would try to open that door, only to find that Rebekah and Elena had given him the same treatment he gave Lexi. We cut to the...
Woods. Klaus pats his jacket and then non-sequiturs, "I'm sorry mate. Don't have it." Silas says, "But you know who does, and the last thing you want is for that cure to be used on you, so you bring it to me and it won't be. You get to live." Klaus chuckles. He's not too keen on reuniting with all his dead, supernatural enemies who are currently trapped on The Other Side. "You know, you don't scare me, Silas, or Shane, or whoever you are."
Since he's wearing Shane's meatsuit, Silas has its owner's annoying mannerisms, so he gives this smug little nod, that tries to masquerade as a friendly gesture, then says, "But I think I know what does." He pulls the Perma Son Of White Oak stake out of his back pocket. Klaus nearly gulps and asks him where he got it. Silas says, "Let's just say your sister's mind is a little easier to read than yours. So, care to reconsider my offer?"
Klaus ponders the situation then rushes at Silas, who like Damon, has turned Stealth Salvatoring into near teleportation. He completely disappears, then reappears behind Klaus and shoves the stake into his back. "I missed by an inch, but don't worry. I'm not trying to kill you -- not just yet." Klaus is on his knees now, yelling in pain. Silas jerks his hand as he pulls out the stake, which has been blunted because its tip is still in Klaus's back. I guess the Protect-o Ring coating only keeps it from burning up, not breaking. Silas says, "Just a little something to remember me by." Before walking off, he pats Klaus on the shoulder, then says, "I'll be in touch." Klaus suffers us all the way to the title card.
I'm going on a road trip with Elena, her fabulous new hair, and Rebekah, but will be back coverage of "American Gothic." In the meantime, please grade the episode at the top of the page and then come on over to the forum, where we promise not to massacre any witches.
