Pretty sure Jo said it: This is Mystic falls not like they'll be the first to come back

Ah Poor Josie finding out that Lizzie and Raf had sex. Her face was so heartbreaking. Also, Penelope laughing about Caroline not coming home for the girls birthday was pretty cruel, especially to Josie. I get her wanting to defend Josie but she needs to let it be if Josie doesn't have an issue with it. I did like when Penelope noticed Josie was missing. The ending scene with the kiss was hot too but they have a lot of issues to work through.

Absolutely LOVED having Jo back! It was so fun seeing her. It's ridiculous that Jo's engagement to Alaric was supposed to be 16 years ago. lol. If Alaric was supposed to be early 30's (and that's a stretch) then what, he's supposed to like almost 50 now? lol I loved the girls getting to meet her though and then the whole Caroline married Stefan mention.

MG and Penelope friendship is sweet, wish we saw more of that in the series. Mg was so sweet to step up for Raf and escort Lizzie. I felt so bad for him with Raf showed up. The Hope/Penelope/MG team up was super fun, I like seeing new interactions.

The Raf and Hope scenes were so cute. I love that she was helping him with the ball. The dancing was cute. And she was so upset that he slept with Lizzie. sdfsfsfsd. She kept making digs. I like when Hope convinced him he needed to be honest with Lizzie instead of trying to make it work with her. I also liked the truth Raf was spilling to Hope about Landon being his family. That was such a genuine and honest moment. The ending moment between them with the dance was really adorable.

HOW ADORABLE WAS HOPE GETTING JOSIE THAT PRESENT???? And it came in handy lol.

I also enjoyed seeing Josie and Jo together. Their scenes were so sweet. Also the scenes with Alaric and Jo. Those were so touching. I also like that they mentioned the merge. The ending scenes with jo and the girls was SO SO SO SAD. Her having to say goodbye was awful. It sucks she wasn't able to be a mom to them. I wish she could have had a last kiss with alaric and hug with the girls though. That was a bit weird they didn't do that.

By far the best episode of the season so far, if not all together. Really strong!

Oh man I really liked this episode everything was great. I agree with it being one of the best episodes of the season.

Hope was so cute at the beginning talking about Landon. That was really a different side of her we don't really get to see. love the gift she got for Josie. Seeing Hope/MG/Penelope fight zombies to save Josie was badass.

I like how the episode with centered around the Twins birthday. Penelope was mean for taunting Lizzie about Caroline not showing especially in front of Josie. Moment like that was why I was kinda hesitant to get fully on board the Josie/Penelope ship. was glad Josie got some bonding time with Jo, wish Lizzie would have been more open to it. but the last scene between them was so sad. Glad they got to have closure with their mom.

Hope and Raf scenes were good. like how there's always tension between them.

MG/Lizzie was really cute this episode.This is what I was expecting to see throughout the season between them. I love how he knew all those little things about her. then the dancing was really good. It was nice to see Lizzie enjoy her birthday. I felt bad for Lizzie but I was glad Raf told her the truth.

fire for a heart

really enjoyed this episode but it was bittersweet and emotional

loved that the twins got to meet Jo

and agreed that Lizzie is like caroline and Josie is like Jo

aww hope giving josie the necklace

NOLA504

Yeah it was great they got to meet their bio mom.

and Hope giving Josie the necklace. their friendship just keeps getting stronger.

Alexa

Not just that, imo its one of the top 5 legacies episodes, maybe top 3.

I shipped them more the first go around but with each re-watch I like them less. Penelope had some poor moments. plus they were never on the same page. Also, knowing shes not in the show anymore, it sort of makes them feel pointless to me in season 1.

NOLA504

Yeah it sucks they never really got a second chance. their best moment was when Penelope was leaving.

Alexa

Yeah, i wonder if she will ever really comeback

NOLA504

Same here.

Didn't Lulu leave to shoot another movie or tv show? or was it the writers decision?

Alexa

i think she was filming tagged but they were doing it at the same time?

i also thought i heard she went back to her home country to visit family? but im notpositve.
