The Vampire Diaries -- Midseason Finale -- "O Come, All Ye Faithful" -- 12/13/12
Synopsis:
As a Winter Wonderland-themed party fills the streets of Mystic Falls, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice Accola) find themselves at odds with Tyler (Michael Trevino) over his plans for Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and his hybrids. When Caroline proposes a solution to their problem, Hayley (guest star Phoebe Tonkin) finds a dramatic way to make it clear that she is not on board. Later, Klaus makes a discovery that leads to chaos and violence. Meanwhile, Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon retreat to the Gilbert Lake House to help Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) conquer some dangerous inner demons with the help of Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay), who reveals a piece of ancient history that leaves them all speechless. Zach Roerig also stars. Pascal Verschooris directed the episode written by Michael J. Cinquemani & Julie Plec (#409).

First side note - Where do they find this music? They even manage to emo Christmas music.

Some great stuff set up this episode. Can't wait to see the Caroline v. Hayley showdown. And the Rebekah comeback.

Felt more like a season finale rather than just a winter finale. Can Stefan finally move on from Elena? Caroline is kinda available especially with Tyler being so friendly with Hayley who they cant trust. Seems like everyone that comes to town outside the core group is bad.

Holy shit. Just watched this tonight and man, Klaus is one ruthless son of a bitch.
Did they really have to kill off Tyler's Mom?
. Total hot MILF.

I just hope she stays dead and we don't get the possible twist that she'd recently had some V to heal her hemorrhoids or whatever.
And that leaves Caroline's mom as the only adult established in season 1 that's still around. CPS must not exist in Mystic Falls.

Which the episode gave away too easily by showcasing her in that scene with Tyler, early in the episode. The minute Tyler met up with his mom for a chat in the middle of the action, I knew she was going to be dead by the end of the episode.
Overall I thought this was one of the poorer finales in VD's history. That is a high bar to meet but almost everything that happened could have been easily predicted.
