The Sacrifice ritual comes to a heartbraking but also horrifying conclusion and more than one character dies. Last week's episode ended on a high note and this week's does the same as well and I can easely say that this episode could've been season finale as well because it lived up to the overall expectations and was packed with everything a casual or hardcore fan of TVD would wait and the season finale is one week away so if this episode was just a set up for next week's ep than the writers are having a very nice ace up in their sleeves.
There were many recurring themes throughout the episode among which is death.Death is a natural part of life but not in TVD.Aunt Jenna, Uncle John, Jules and in some form even Elena dies.Klaus set everything in motion and begins killing first the werewolf Jules than even Elena's aunt, Jenna for the ritual.Stefan offers himself in exchange for Jenna but Klaus has other plans for him and ultimately kills even Elena as he drinks from her until she dies.Of course Boonie,John,Alaric and Jeremy had a back up plan to prevent Elena to come back from the death as a vampire and John "sacrifices" himself to give Elena back her soul.This was a bit of lame from my opinion but the way John died was sad, even for him, while the rest of the group was mourning Elena, he walked out from the mansion and waited his death as he fell to the ground dead.
The other theme was redemption. Damon realised that no matter what, the werewolf bite is fatal and he is hoping for Elena's forgivness before he dies so the season finale will be Damon centered than which is good, because people love Damon.Who doesnt?And even though writers can do some really extreme WTF moments, I really doubt they will kill Damon off, I mean c'mon he is a core character but really looking forward to see how will they cure him.Maybe some whitch magic mambo jumbo which will save him but turn him human?C'mon how cool would THAT be?
Elijah's betrayal was a bit disappointing, we were given an explanation why would he kill his own brother, Klaus but switching sides this fast, turning back on his honor and saving the mad sonofabitch was really wierd but at the same time really cool.Another major WTF moment and sets up the next season, season three which is promised to be a season of The Originals.
Matt-Caroline-Tyler triangle is still interesting.Everytime I'm watching these three I can't help it but think that one day a sparkle will blow and the two alpha male will just jump to each other's throat and beat up themselves. Caroline finally realised that Matt knew all the time about her true nature and that her mother is trying to kill her because she hates vampires so Matt leaves too saying that he can't come to the terms that she's a vampire and he wants a normals life while Tyler on the other hand understands her perfectly and would happily be with her.
Overall it was an outstanding episode.An episode I *really* waited from such a mindblowing show that TVD is.
RAZOR rating: 9.5 ( out of 10)
