Season 1 Episode 4: Family Ties

Content Warning: Language, Violence, Multiple Heavy Makeout Scenes, Innuendo

This episode builds very well off the last one and seems to raise more questions than it answers. But per usual here is the list of plot points:

  1. Damon is getting into Stefan's head which prompts Stefan to be more diligent in making a move
  2. Damon covers his tracks by convincing everyone that it was a mountain lion who killed all those people. He says it is because he wants to stay in Mystic Falls

  6. Zach has a secret storage of vervain
  7. Bonnie tells Elena some information she heard about Katherine, Damon, and Stefan
  8. Stefan is trying to poison Damon 
  9. Damon tells Elena about the "original" Salvatore brothers and the burning of the church
  10. More weird stuff with Bonnie
  11. Founder's Party
  12. Damon steals a crystal from the Founder's Party
  13. Damon and Elena fight after the she finds out that he's been hurting Caroline
  14. Stefan and Elena have their first fight
  15. Damon tries to kill Caroline, fails, and ends up being imprisoned instead
  16. The Founders Council needs the Gilbert pocketwatch for some reason. They also know about Vampires
I love Damon but he is a piece of work in this episode. But Stefan does get the upper hand in order to stop him from continuing to hurt Caroline. I do appreciate that. But despite that it still leaves the question of what exactly Damon is planning. Why did he need to steal that crystal that apparently he had put in their ages ago? Why does he need to stay in Mystic Falls in the first place? Despite the fact that he is safely imprisoned these questions keep piling up. In other news: Stefan and Elena had their first fight! Elena wants to know more about him and he was incredibly closed off. I'm glad they had this fight because it made more sense. Elena didn't just take his word for anything she pushes him for the truth. I love Elena. The whole episode ended with the Founders Council who basically admitted that they know about vampires. And they really want the pocketwatch for a reason. 

Damon says the best quote ever, "Some girls just can't resist my good looks, my style; my charm, and my unflinching ability to listen to Taylor Swift."
