REMEMBRANCE DAY – While Mystic Falls observes its traditional Remembrance Day to honor the dead, Damon and Elena try to help Stefan (Paul Wesley) through a confusing time, a task that ends up taking Elena on an emotional journey of her own. A worried Matt tries to figure out the reason behind his mysterious blackouts, and Caroline makes an effort to get to know Jesse (guest star Kendrick Sampson) better. Jeremy makes a startling confession that hits Damon hard. Finally, Dr. Maxfield (guest star Rick Cosnett) puts a plan in motion that will change everything.

TFTNT Nelly! Can't wait to see Stefan interact w/ other characters for the "first time" all over again.

I think that's going to be the most interesting part about this episode.

I get Stefan has amnesia and all...but felt odd to not see him at Bonnie's funeral based on their previous friendship when Damon who has always treated her badly was?

Loved the Stefan-Caroline, funeral (despite aforementioned nitpick) and Stefan dumping Delena

Stefan = BAMF!!! Stefan was king again tonight

I seriously can't love him anymore then I already do... he is just my bb

I loved all the truth bombs Stefan said about Elena and Damon. He finally expressed what the audience (my kind of audience anyway

) has been feeling for along time

- Like half of these peeps would give sht about Bonnie dying.
- I thought Damon only saw Stefan as Elena's ex..they are brothers?!
- Yaaaaas Caroline/Stefan, see Stefan there are girls out there that have personalities and that actually care for you, big step up from you previous girlfriend.

Mysterious Island Girl · 10-25-2013, 06:22 AM

I know Caroline was so happy for Tyler to return but it would be interesting to see her and Stephan make a love connection. Really get Elena jealous.

KaaBOOM · 10-25-2013, 11:03 AM

That funeral part was really sad, but i think it's obvious that Bonnie will be back so it is kind of pointless.
Enjoyed this episode, missed Katherine.

This so much

I thought the episode was pretty awful. Nothing happened until the end.

The stelena stuff was just way too cheesey for my taste. Way way way too cheesey. Elena acting all happy and then calling him the perfect boyfriend was awkward to watch lol. Like they were forcing it way too much.

But the bonnie stuff and steroline were awesome!

I hope bonnie stays dead personally

and im not thrilled about tyler being back either.

And lovin matts SL this season! His accent lol

I think this a pretty good episode but the Bonnie "closure" was kind of pointless because we all know she is coming back. I'm sure "Tessa" will need her for something. I just hope Bonnie doesn't appear for a few episodes so her death has a real impact before she comes back.

Stefan was really becoming the ripper in this episode but it seems he found some place in the middle. It's obvious that without his memories he has no guilt so he acts more like 1864 Stefan.

About Steroline I don't ship it but I can see it happening. I could go either way but after last season and the speech Lexi gave Stefan I could totally happen.

I was glad to see Tyler again but I hope they have some storyline for him. I love Trevino but if they don't have anything for him they should let the actor move on.
I want him to move in with Matt and help him with his problem.

Poor Jesse. I thought he has hiding something but it turns out he was just a normal guy and now he is a vampire.

-Blackburn- · 10-25-2013, 04:15 PM

I love this new Stefan. Carefree and without guilt. I was surprised with the Steroline scene. I really don't think writers want Forwood, so if not Klaroline, I would love some Steroline action.

~AnastasiaGrey~ · 10-25-2013, 04:25 PM

Stefan and Caroline they would go there so it looks like Stefan is moving on from Elena. But to me I find it a bit insulting they had to wipe his memories to do that. Because I am pretty sure some of his memories may return and then what?

The Unknown Hunter · 10-25-2013, 05:08 PM

O.K....

1) Tyler actually forsaken, the love in which he risked his life for? What possible problem(s) could this semi-rookie hybrid help a pack of werewolves with? No one is "sired" to anyone in that group.

2) Why didn't they just take Stefan back to Tessa and asked her to fix him? Why did they think Bonnie could undo something an ancient witch has done? I know her track record but Tessa is older then the so-called original witch(es).

3) He has No Memory of him and Elena being together. Yet upon finding out that she dates his brother now, he wants to semi flip out?

4) Being a fan of Being Human (US version) I do find it odd, how these vampires can't see ghosts. They're dead after all and all of them since died again. By having there necks broken at one time or another. - all of them have

5) I see Bonnie coming back in some way with the death of Tessa. If it has to be a balance, then who died in Tessa place?

6) Poor Matt, why didn't you just stay traveling the world with Rebekah? If I was him I would've had her turn me into a vampire. Had a witch make me a "daylight ring", married her and made Mystic Falls a distant memory. He was complaining about not having anything going for him after all. So why return to the place that he was just complaining about?

Well I think finding that out is going to hurt regardless.
