This week in Mystic Falls (and related locations) no one is telling anyone else the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Hell, they're not even admitting the truth to themselves.
Silas has compelled damn near everyone into reporting to him if they find the girl who looks just like Elena Gilbert, i.e., Katherine. Matt and Jeremy have been charged with hiding Katherine, but our poor Kiki has a sinus infection. When she coughs, it's green. Oh, the snot-man-ity! Matt tries to get her some non-prescription relief, but even the stooge at the Gas -N- Go has been compelled to do Silas's bidding, so our gang takes shelter in the forest.Silas, i.e. Stylus, looks just like Stefan, so he's hiding in plain sight and compelling Elena to hate Damon to death. Damon hasn't told Elena about Silas (or about how Stefan is missing or that the Germ got expelled). Jeremy hasn't told anyone that Bonnie is dead. Bonnie can't tell anyone except Jeremy that she watched Stylus kill her father in front of a compelled town. Matt doesn't even realize that gypsies (yes, gypsies, I mean, the show tries to go P.C. by calling them "Travelers" not realizing that "Travelers" are pretty well limited to people from the British Isles) have taken over his body, in an attempt to re-bury Stylus. Meanwhile, though Matt is kinda dead, he learns Bonnie is really most sincerely dead, but he forgets as soon as his Gilbert ring wakes him back up. Also, it appears Stefan has escaped from the safe and is off snacking on available townsfolk. How long until he rips them up and puts them back together, and then throws out the cell phones of unsuspecting teenaged girls?
It's all a big exciting mess and I'll be back with my full recap of it, ASAP. In the meantime, please grade the episode at the top of the page, and then come on over to the forum, where we're far more forthcoming.
