Tonight’s episode is called ‘1912’ and we will meet Samantha Gilbert who was one of the town’s founding family members. When last we saw Vamp Diaries the show was all about Klaus and Elijah’s mother Esther who with the help of Bonnie and Abby trying was trying to kill her sons and daughters. At the same time Stefan and Damon were trying to stop it from happening.
We found out some interesting information on the last episode Rebekah reveals to Klaus that when Elena was in the cave she noticed a message in the paintings: There’s a white oak tree out there somewhere, a tree that has the power to kill Original vampires. This should be interesting !If you missed the episode you can read our full recap here!
On tonight’s show the present-day murders in Mystic Falls remind Damon of a similar crime spree a century earlier. In flashbacks to 1912, Damon recalls a beautiful vampire, Sage (guest star Cassidy Freeman), who showed him a whole new way to exist. Sheriff Forbes warns Damon not to get involved in her investigation, but Damon is convinced she’s going after the wrong suspect.
Elena and Matt resort to breaking and entering in their search for evidence to prove Dr. Fell (guest star Torrey Devitto) is a murderer. For reasons known only to her, Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt), becomes interested in locating one of the town’s oldest landmarks. Finally, Elena comes to a new understanding of the path her life has taken, and Damon makes an emotional confession to Stefan. John Behring directed the episode written by Julie Plec & Elisabeth R. Finch.

Elena comes up to Dr. Fells and tells him Alaric did not kill anyone. Dr. Fells tells her she does not know Alarci. Dr. Fells says Elena dates vampires it should not come as a shock her guardian is a murderer.
Damon tells Rebekah it is boys night and she was not invited. Matt and Elena break into Dr. Fell’s house. She knows Alaric is innocent. Elena goes into the closet in Dr. Fell’s house and starts searching – because she knows she is a Fell she knows there may be something in the closet. They find a false back and behind the wall is a banker’s box. The box has files with Bill Forbes, Brian Walker and Alaric’s names.
Stefan asks who he thinks did it. Damon tells him not Dr. Fell she is a women – Rebekah says women are capable of killing. Stefan lets Rebekah know he is not interested in slaughtering people anymore and is not drinking human blood anymore. Damon grabs Stefan’s diary and starts reading it.

Elena and Matt are at the Sheriff’s office and Sheriff Forbes asks Matt and Elena what were they thinking. Elena tells the Sheriff they have proof Alaric is innocent.

Damon is with Rebekah and he sees a women and he starts biting her and Stefan comes to save her and Damon asks him if he wants a drink.

Matt and Elena are together and Matt tells Elena it just does not make sense. She lets Matt know that there was a time she felt safe with Stefan. Matt says that it does not make sense that Stefan is a vampire. Elena felt Stefan would never die so he could protect her and would she not die like her parents. She felt Damon on the other hand just snuck up on her.
Matt says once you fall in love with someone he really does not know if you can ever shake it. Elena asks Matt if it is weird talking about Stefan and Damon with her.

Flashback to 1912 – Damon is telling Stefan about choosing the perfect person to bite – not the trashy but the modest – it is more interesting – Damon asks Stefan to have a drink with him. The next scene we see Stefan biting a women… but he is killing her and Damon is trying to stop him. Stefan goes overboard nonetheless and kills her – he cannot control himself. He tries to bring her back to life – he blames Damon. Damon tells Stefan he needs to learn to control himself.
Present time – Damon says he let Stefan go away and become a ripper – Stefan responds that he could not have stopped him – but Damon insists that he could have but he just did not want him around. Damon tells him this time it will be different, he will help his brother be there every second for him. Stefan asks why, and Damon says it is because right now you’re all I have!
Elena is reading the journal Matt took for her. Alaric tells Elena he appreciates what she did for him but he does not want her putting herself in danger. Elena asks if they can agree to take care of each other.

Elena is reading the diary of Samantha – Damon is saying to Elena you think Samantha is still alive killing people.
Damon tells Stefan there are only 2 special rings Alaric has one and Jeremy the other.
Meredith accuses Alaric of doing the killings – she tells Alaric that he may be insane – she tells him he wears a ring that keeps him alive and this craziness might be a consequence. How many times can he come back from the dead – back alive before it changes him?
