Tonight on the CW my favorite show THE VAMPIRE DIARIES airs with a whole new episode called “The Five.” On tonight’s show a frat party and a flashback to 12th century Italy – Damon goes with Elena and Bonnie to visit Whitmore College, where Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay, “The Borgias”) is taking over the Occult Studies classes formerly taught by Bonnie’s grandmother. Did you see last week’s premiere episode? We did and we recapped it here for you.
On last week’s show Connor continued his search to uncover the secrets of Mystic Falls and tried to convince Jeremy to work with him. With Dr. Fell’s help, Damon and Klaus questioned Connor, but the confrontation took a lethal turn. Trying to keep her new life as normal as possible, Elena was determined to continue her senior year at Mystic Falls High with support from Matt and Caroline. Rebekah’s arrival at school made it difficult for Elena to control her anger, but she learned that confronting Rebekah can be extremely dangerous. Later, Rebekah realized how alone she is, and reached out to April.
On tonight’s show Damon goes with Elena and Bonnie to visit Whitmore College, where Professor Shane is taking over the Occult Studies classes formerly taught by Bonnie’s grandmother. At a fraternity costume party, Damon takes advantage of the wild scene to give Elena a lesson in choosing a victim. Rebekah’s (Claire Holt) attempt to buy Matt’s (Zach Roerig) forgiveness falls flat, but she is intrigued by unexpected news from Klaus (Joseph Morgan).
