Ep 10 'After School Special'
REBEKAH IS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE — Appearing unexpectedly at Mystic
Falls High, Rebekah (Claire Holt) wastes no time trying to force Stefan
(Paul Wesley), Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) to
answer her questions about the search for a cure, leading to a bombshell
piece of information from Elena. When Bonnie’s (Kat Graham) father,
Rudy Owens (guest star Rick Worthy, 'Supernatural'), accepts the role of
Interim Mayor, he makes it a priority to protect his daughter, who
isn’t at all comfortable with the role he suddenly wants to play in her
life. Professor Shane (guest star David Alpay) continues to encourage
Bonnie to believe in her powers, but he soon finds himself in danger
when he reveals too much to the wrong person. Later, Caroline does her
best to comfort Tyler (Michael Trevino) after a violent confrontation.
Meanwhile, at the lake house, Damon and Matt (Zach Roerig) train Jeremy
(Steven R. McQueen), trying to raise his game as a hunter, but Klaus
(Joseph Morgan) is impatient with their progress and intervenes to speed
up the process. David Von Ancken directed the episode written by Brett
Matthews (#410).
Got any more scoop on Twilight star Charlie Bewley's role on The Vampire Diaries? I'm so excited to see him on the show!
Bewley
will debut as Vaughn in the CW series' 13th episode and let's just say
he's got his sights set on the Salvatore brothers. You see, he's a
hunter, one of The Five, to be exact, and like Connor, he's pretty damn
good at his job. Expect an interesting first meeting between Vaughn and
Damon that will only show off just how much Damon cares for Elena.
The Vampire Diaries' Klaus essentially put a target on his back by killing Mayor Lockwood. Nevertheless, Joseph Morgan says the baddie Original doesn't have a care in the world when the show returns from its holiday hiatus.
"In the episodes to come after break, there's a certain amount of him
sitting with his feet up, looking at the carnage as it unfolds before
him," Morgan tells TVGuide.com. "He's pulling the puppet strings and then letting them go to see what happens."
For someone with so many enemies, why the cavalier attitude?
Throughout this season, our main characters have turned against each other, helping Klaus' cause. First, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) broke up. Then, Stefan realized that Damon (Ian Somerhalder)
and Elena have had a little something-something between them. While the
Salvatore brothers should remain focused, instead they're worried about
a girl, finding a cure for said girl. (Not to mention the whole sire
bond thing.) Bonnie (Kat Graham) is off trying to get her magic back from Mr. Shady Pants Shane (David Alpay), while Tyler (Michael Trevino) just lost his mom and his hybrid army. Then there's Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen).
His new fate in life as a vampire hunter has caused an innate hatred
for his friends, and more importantly, his sister. So yes, for Klaus,
he's more than happy to keep the attention away from his recent actions.
"Our heroes are at odds with each other. If they could unite
themselves like they did at the end of Season 3, maybe they would have a
chance at killing Klaus, but as long as he can keep manipulating and
planting doubt in their minds, they won't be able to come together and
defeat him," Morgan says. "Everyone has forgotten that they put Klaus
down, but Klaus hasn't forgotten. It's like lining up chess pieces on a
board — everyone is playing against each other and everyone's arguing!"
But life won't be that easy for Klaus in future episodes, especially when his bitter sister Rebekah (Claire Holt) becomes un-daggered and his angry brother Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) returns. The two may have major bones to pick with the others, but Klaus is certainly not excused.
"In the beginning, Klaus and Kol start off more on the same page, but
Kol definitely comes in with his own objectives and motives," Morgan
says. "They do end up at odds and issuing threats at each other and it
does become quite serious." Klaus' relationship with Rebekah, though, is
a little more complicated. "Klaus is the one who daggered her and he's
really used her in a way that's unforgivable. They have both attempted
to exploit each other, but are also bound by this love and his feeling
of wanting to protect her from her own weaknesses. So it's all mixed up
in there like a big old wasp's nest of emotions."
Comparing their relationship to real-life sibling dynamics, Morgan
adds that he might always protect Rebekah from others, but not
necessarily from his own wrath toward her.
"This is the thing I think that has won people over with the
Originals, this bond that goes deeper than any other relationship,"
Morgan says. "It's like when someone can bully their younger brother,
but no one else can. I like this idea of Klaus' that nobody daggers my
sister but me. There is that element that if someone kills Rebekah or
Elijah — not so much Finn, he wasn't so keen on Finn — there will be
hell to pay. But if he were to do it, that would be OK. "
Are Jeremy and Bonnie getting back together on The Vampire Diaries?
You
weren't the only one who noticed those stolen glances during the
midseason finale! "What this episode did, in the form of nostalgia, is a
reminder that there are some unresolved feelings there," executive
producer Julie Plec says. "There was love there and maybe just a glimpse of hope for something more."
Where’s the love for The Vampire Diaries?
Have you looked in your local roller disco?
Because that may be where the show is headed. Though exec producer Julie
Plec hastens to note that nothing is set in stone, she does admit,
“We’re just now writing a script which, in a perfect world, will take us
back to the ’70s in New York City. Everything could change, but it’s an
era we haven’t explored yet. It could be a lot of fun.” Especially
since she adds that “it’ll definitely involve our brothers in some form
or another.” Cue the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 3, 2, 1…
I am enjoying this season of The Vampire Diaries, but the one thing it needs is Katherine back! Any chance that’s happening anytime soon?
“That elusive vixen is still somehow lurking
in the shadows,” teases Plec, “but keeping herself well hidden… Given
Klaus’ continued presence in Mystic Falls, we shall see if we’ll be able
to get her back into town.” Scram, Klaus!
Any scoop on Klaus on The Vampire Diaries?!
Prepare
for an epic showdown between Klaus and...Shane! You really didn't think
those two would never come face to face, did you? Especially after
Klaus learns that Shane was the mastermind behind the plan to kill 12
hybrids? Yeah, he's pretty mad. Watch out, Shane!
Good morning, Rebekah! Now that she's awake, is there any chance that
Rebekah and Klaus could possibly be close again? "I'd like to think so,"
Joseph Morgan tells us. "Obviously there was a major betrayal there,
but I think that if anyone could forgive Klaus, Rebekah has been there
with him for a thousand years, they've been very close, and I think she
could forgive him. I don't like when she's daggered! Claire Holt just
goes back to Los Angeles when Rebekah is daggered, and that's no fun."
