The Vampire Diaries -- "Man on Fire" -- 4/24/14




"Man on Fire" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

FLASHBACKS TO THE 1960s - Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to distract Elena (Nina Dobrev) from obsessing about the state of her relationship with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), while Bonnie (Kat Graham) does her best to be realistic about how the changes happening on the Other Side will affect her existence as the Anchor. Damon demands the Traveler knife, forcing Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig) to admit it has gone missing. Through flashbacks to election night, 1960, Enzo (guest star Michael Malarkey) reveals to Elena, Stefan and Bonnie that he has learned what happened to his long-lost love, Maggie (guest star Heather Hemmens), and then, with the unwilling help of Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (guest star Chris Brochu), things take an ugly turn. Trying to calm Enzo down, Damon intervenes, but his words cause Enzo to make a desperate and dangerous decision that leads to a violent confrontation with Stefan. Finally, Markos (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) enlists Sloan's (guest star Caitlin McHugh) help in a ritual designed to break an ancient curse against the Travelers. Tyler (Michael Trevino) is forced to play a dangerous part in the ritual, while witnessing the incredible power the Travelers now possess. Michael Allowitz directed the episode written by Melinda Hsu Taylor & Matthew D'Ambrosio (#519).

Not sure why Bonnie said this other witch was more powerful than her. She was bitten and healed like wolverine and had the power to stop Silas.

I suppose interesting twist with Enzo. Not sure how he's roaming around though if he passed through. Seems like a waste to have him killed though.

Not sure I understand the travelers plan though.
1) Make vampire
2) Drink combo doppelgänger blood
3) Revert to human
4) Die from original injuries that killed you

So reversing all vampires will counter magic, and undo magic? So that allows the traveller curse to be lifted, so they can reconvene their tribe?

I figured that was a test to see if it can undo general witch magic.

I think you have it correctly, the overall plotting has gone down the tubes for VD. None of their plan made much sense and it felt like the episode was pieced together at the last minute. Even Enzo's death looked like a last-minute addition.

This show has been so ridiculous this year. Doppelgängers and Travelers and the tired love triangle of Stefan, Elena and Damon.
