Vampire Diaries 1x09 "History Repeating" Discussion l Airs Nov. 12
 

Alaric! :yay:

Regardless whether it's Damon's or not, I found it annoying that Bonnie had to act that way to Caroline on the last episode provided that it was technically Caroline's. Just because her grandmother said it was their ancestors' doesn't give her the rights to fight with Caroline about not returning it. She could've just calmly reason out to Caroline that it was an heirloom, it could've been a better argument rather than Caroline already gave it to her. I wonder how will this continue in this week's episode.

Oh, btw, thanks Meg :hug:

You're welcome hun! :hug:

I totally had to post that Alaric picture. :drool: :D

He's charming! Another addition to the pretty cast.

Indeed. Anymore pretty additions will be welcomed by me. :D

and me too. :nod:

I'm actually really excited for this episode, I can't wait to see the seance. Should be interesting. :P

I think Bonnie was just really surprised that Caroline wanted it back when just the day before she'd told her to "toss it, wear it, I don't care" and hadn't thought of a story as to why she wouldn't be able to give it back :shrug: But I'm glad that they're not just dropping this issue like the fire in the parking lot incident.

This should be intresting i cant wait

Thanks for the thread Meg!

Alaric! :D

Though out of all the people in Mystic Falls, Bonnie should know her friends - how they react to things, on how they feel, how Caroline can disregard something but then change her mind. She should've known that Caroline was feeling sorry for herself regarding what happened with Damon. Caroline could be inconsistent, careless, etc. Yes, she could've questioned why Caroline needs it back when she mentioned before that she doesn't care. But Bonnie's reaction when Caroline was getting it back was defensive. She could've reasoned out to Caroline; but her approach was defensive. It wasn't even hers to start with, why get defensive?

Then again, Caroline wouldn't even have wanted it back if Damon hadn't influenced her. That wasn't just Caroline feeling sorry for herself, it was her closing a chapter. Damon was the one who changed her mind by manipulating her again.
I think they both acted very weird for different reasons. I mean, Caroline was going to pull it off of Bonnie's neck... Is that something a friend would do?
I think Bonnie will come up with a better story this episode regarding the necklace, but I don't think she gave it much thought at first what she was going to have to say to Caroline and that's why she got defensive :shrug:

Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we have a séance?

I disregarded Damon's involvement in the argument between Caroline and Bonnie. Regardless if Caroline wanted it with Damon's influenced or not, I was questioning Bonnie's defensiveness with Caroline.
As for Caroline's actions, I would defend her because she was under the influence of Damon's powers. Her wanting to pull it off Bonnie's neck? I don't think she'll do that if she was never given (say, powerful) instructionsfrom Damon.

Let's get Damon out of the picture. Say Caroline broke up with her normal boyfriend (no power) and gave the necklace to Bonnie and something that she doesn't need/want it. Then Bonnie found out that it was supposedly an heirloom of her family. Caroline realizes that she still wants to hold on to the necklace and asked Bonnie to return it. Would you still think Bonnie acted as a friend? or not defensive?

I do think Bonnie reacted defensive and I also think she reacted weird, but I think she was genuinely confused about the whole situation. And I think she got upset when she figured out that the real reason Caroline wanted it back was because of Damon (to get back in his good graces). Does Bonnie have a right to the necklace? No, I don't think so. Maybe she should have given it back, maybe she should have kept it.
But I think Bonnie was really surprised when Caroline wanted it back and especially at the way Caroline asked for it. "It makes you look fat" would have probably tipped anyone off that something wasn't right. Also, I kind of have a feeling that the necklace might be influencing her a little. Didn't her Grams say "It found you."
Bonnie also went to Caroline later on to apologize and explain, but they got into another fight, so I think we will see what Bonnie says for herself this week.

ETA: And I don't think we can disregard Damon completely, because him treating her the way he did is also part of why Bonnie reacted this way. He left her confused with bite marks all over and obvious signs of abuse. Both Bonnie and Elena have talked to her about it, and then Caroline comes to Bonnie with a bogus excuse about how she wants the necklace back and if I were Bonnie I would have wondered if Caroline were just doing it to get back together with Damon. Because why couldn't she just have said: "Damon wants his necklace back, I have to give it to him."?
