The Vampire Diaries: The Vampire Compass
Flash forward to the flashback. Hoop skirts? Damon was fighting for the confederacy? Ohhhh, here's a twist we didn't see coming! Catherine was a VAMP... who turned Stefan and Damon into vamps. Because she thought they could all live together happily ever after. Well, gosh Stefan. Work with us. No one's perfect. What's a little undead between friends? Ok, the keeping both of the brothers simultaneously is a tad creepy.
Yay! Damon's rehydrated! Boo, that means a Risky Business-esque "dancing' montage complete with special moves to avoid the sunrays slipping in from around the various window treatments. Apparently bored revenge-hungry vampires like to imbibe alcoholic beverages with high school chicks while waiting for the sun to retreat. The good news is that the half-starved and freshly fed Damon is even more charming and snarky than the previous incarnation. He definitely had the best lines this week, many of them with the recovering Vicki, who barely survived his cemetery attack last week and is hanging on by an inebriated thread.
Damon: You're life is so pathetic.
Vicki: Yeah.
Damon: You are so damaged. You don't have one hint of self esteem.
Vicki: Nope. None.
Damon: I think I know what can help you.
Vicki: What's that?
Damon: Death.
Crunch!
Read on after the jump!
Possibly the best piece of prime time technology ever to see the light of day is the awesome Vampire Compass. Last week, Logan stole the Gilbert watch from Jeremy's room for some mysterious anti-vamp reason. This week it was revealed that it is actually the outer casing for the Vampimeter. Awesome. Especially when used in conjunction with wooden bullets used to slow the vamp down until s/he can be properly staked.
While out trying to convince Vicki that death is a preferable option to to vampirism, Stefan was distracted enough to let himself be pierced by one of these little wooden bullets. No good deed goes unpunished. Happily Damon was nearby to save the day ("If anyone's going to kill you, it's going to be me."), but unhappily, the allure of freshly spilled blood was too much for Vicki. So now there's going to be three undead in Mystic Falls.
Something tell us that Elena hasn't really dumped Stefan for good. Once she gets to know him a little better, surely she'll get over her anti-vamp bias. She really should give him a chance.
Most mysterious this week: Where were Bonnie, our budding fire starting witch, and Caroline, Damon's former fave feeding source? We missed them, and hope they're back next week.

Loved the episode, especially the Damon parts, obviously xD the phone call to Stefan at the beggining of the episode was great, I'm really loving their dynamic :) in some ways it reminds me of Angel/Spike lol
But okay, what's with you complaining about Elena not being all "Ooh, my BF is a vampire, yaaaaay!"? So, not being like the utter disgrace to women that is Bella is a bad thing now?

Keeping both brothers is so not creepy. It's a dream come true, who wouldn't?!

Damon's dancing was the best part
