The Vampire Diaries Recap: Season 4 Episode 2 “Memorial” 10/17/12

Tonight on the CW my favorite show The Vampire Diaries airs with a whole new episode called “Memorial.” On tonight’s show Elena tries to cope with the extreme highs and lows that are part of becoming a vampire, and Stefan and Damon fight about what is best for her.  Did you see last week’s premiere episode?  We did and we recapped it here for you.

On last week’s premiere episode Elena awakened on the morning after the accident to find the thing she dreaded most had come true – she died with vampire blood in her system and now she had to go through the terrible transition to become a vampire…or face certain death. Stefan promises Elena that he and Bonnie will exhaust every possible way out of the situation, but Damon was furious with his brother for letting Elena die in the first place.

On tonight’s show Elena tries to cope with being a vampire and all the extreme highs and lows that are part of it,  and Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) almost come to blows while arguing about what is best for her. Damon decides to help Elena in his own way and asks her not to tell Stefan. A stranger, Connor Jordan, arrives in town and begins questioning Sheriff Forbes and Mayor Lockwood. Connor’s actions quickly convince Stefan that they are dealing with a dangerous vampire hunter.

Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig) are surprised to see a girl they used to know, April, (guest star Grace Phipps, “The Nine Lives of Chloe King”), has returned to town and is enrolling at Mystic Falls High. At a town gathering, Elena comes close to losing control until Caroline steps in to help her. Finally, Damon confides his feelings to an unexpected friend.

Stephen and Elena are in the woods and she has fed off a deer.  Stephen assures Elena that the deer will live because he is big.

Back to Damon and he tells Elena he disagrees with her eating animals, vampires eat people, it is part of the natural food pyramid.  He tells Elena she will be miserable.

Connor reads the letter he found at the Young farm.  It was a letter to April from her dad Pastor Young and he apologizes for killing the people.  He tells her, his life is one of many that will be lost.

Stephen tells Elena he is mad at her because she lied to him.  He is mad because Elena went to Damon and she fed on Damon.  Elena claims she did not want to hurt him. Elena tells Stefan she is tired of crying that is all she does.  Stefan tells her to come with him.

Stefan gets everyone together and Stefan tells the gang they have to grieve for the people they have lost.  Stefan brings lanterns.  Damon tells Stefan they need to find out who the vampire hunter is, it is far more important.  Stefan tells him this is important now.  Stefan starts saying the names of the people they lost, Alaric, Vicky, Caroline’s father and all the people they have lost.  They let the lanterns escaped into the sky.  Damon leaves, he refuses to do it.

Meanwhile Damon is at the graveyard drinking.  He is talking to Alaric’s gravestone, he misses Alaric,  and he is telling the him that the gang is delusional.  Alaric’s ghost watches.  Damon says, “I did not get the girl and he is stuck there fighting his brother and taking care of the kids.”  Alaric’s ghost says, “I miss you too buddy!”
