He's pretty cookie cutter so far, though. Why did we kill Malcolm again?

Agreed, this was the best episode yet this season. Lily was much more tolerable being nice to Stefan and Caroline, Damon was shirtlessly flirting with Ric, Oscar was fun and Valerie's tale was tragic and very like something Stefan would be involved in.

If Steven ever Fuses with Pearl, will we finally get Star Quartz?

Ready to take pictures, not call 911! Jenny is all about the live tweeting! Kiki will call the police.

It's totally about the lyrics!

He's still growing up.

She was so cool and brave and kickass in Island Adventure! But she did finally tell her mother off this time! And Mom actually took it pretty well, which is atypical for these sorts of tales.

Maybe it's Miley or Katy instead of Taylor! The cd box is a brunette!

Though its sort of how Stefan treats everyone: like he always knows what's best.

They don't have magic of their own, but they can siphon it like Kai does.

Stefan has been the worst all season. He's as self- involved as he was at the beginning of the season, when he started over as a mechanic and initially annoyed Enzo so much. He gives a lot of unsolicited advice.

Having her wake him up so he could pull out his own dagger was a pretty badass moment, I have to say. And it seems like the real villain, as usual, is Esther.

Liv will come around eventually!

"Humans should stay on the other side of the fence, as the sign says!"

It was really driving her crazy!

There is a real danger: gems can crack.

Weeping Eggcup?

I approve. Mine is the reverse, plus I don't like dye near my mouth. I would eat it.

Every person for themselves in The Me Decade. Joan Didion could show Don a few things about California.

Clearly you should be on her staff!
