Let's discuss this week's episode, shall we?

Before we began I just want to say, I am not here to criticize the episode, I might as well be one of the biggest fans there are. I am just here to ask the questions same as you and find the answers.

The episode opens with 'Previously On' and does not fail to remind us this is the last season once again!

In the holiday season spirit, Stefan and Caroline decided to go through with a family dinner, hoping to have a regular family Christmas night. Seriously where did they learn from what was normal? Every single one of the characters have lived through hell on earth and have always experienced the same bitter Christmas, what's coming to them is normal.

First of all I though Stefan is going to celebrate Christmas before hand because he has to leave. Turns out it was actually in reality, well in mystic falls reality was Christmas luckily right on time for the only day they had together.

When Caroline's daughter walked in I was about to pass a snide comment pointing out to the fact that Lizzie and Josie didn't ask questions about anything, not even the nanny they loved so much. But Julie Plec got me there, they asked about Seline and that is a big hint, right there. -- The kids are attached to Seline and she is looking for redemption. Since Sybil sold here out, we are not sure what could happen to her. Currently, all she wants to do is help.

On the other hand, Stefan takes a walk through the lost memory lane we finally find out about the Monterey massacre by our famous Ripper. This is kinda intersecting, they first made us sympathize with the Originals, then Kathrine before she dies (sobs) and then the oh so Cruel mother Lillian Salvatore, following very recently in one of the previous episodes with Sybil being the victim and now we find out even Seline is not that bad at all.

Back home, another big Present by Julie Plec was what Alaric says to his daughters, (Caution I might be spoiling the season for you but I have to mention it) --not to open the palace doors for anyone but Mommy, Dady, and Uncle STEFAN. Well, there you have it. a new plot revealed. --Few episodes later Stefan will come for the girls not to kill them but maybe cuz he wants something, or just for fun.

Poor Matt he gets caught up in other peoples mess and is left heartbroken all over again, this time not love but family. but he seems to have a bigger part in the story, for now, even his father who could possibly die! continue reading and you will find out how.

There were no said goodbye's which probably means they are going to see each other quite soon in a week or two. The mistletoe moment was cute but it wasn't a goodbye yet, plus to add on Sybil joked about his slavery like a day job, where he could come back home at night into her arms.

About Alaric and the kids, they could be around, if the show were to continue they would come back as adults but that's not happening anytime soon or ever.

The last week's episode wanted us to gasp at the thought of Damon's death but we all knew he would be back so that didn't bother me at all at the moment. What did affect me in this episode was that I had finally gotten used to the Siren next to him but he ripped her heart out?! What??

Don't even get be started on Sybil asking for the gift as hers that Caroline gave him. What was happening? Caroline gave him saying it's as a gift for forgiveness which was actually Elena's locket. Smart move Caroline.

We currently have no idea if she will survive this, I mean cm'on they made a deal not to go back to hell when they die, they didn't make a deal for immortality. That's what we were lead to believe. Sybil was asking Damon to look for something that belonged to Matt's family Maybe that will save her life but she does not have it yet who would help her? As far as being supernatural. Even vampires die if they get stabbed, she is a mortal with psychic power like Bonnie. And her heart was ripped out of her body, she should be dead, supernatural-technically but I don't think she is!

Now let's not forget our dear Bonnie the Bennett witch, they quite easily showed that she was affected with the tuning fork and they talked about it, but tried to steer only a little attention to it. Since there were talks about showing the original characters back in their true selves we could finally see her as a witch again. Which means she has to stay back and protect her friends and bring Damon, her best friend back as he was and postponed her trip to Paris. Sorry ain't happening!

At last, now we see what you have been waiting for all along. The Last Scene. The old Stefan you saw with Cade is a glimpse of what you will see him like in future. He waits until Mystic Falls is in his rear view before he turns off his humanity, flips the switch!

Now keep in mind they don't forget their memories, they just don't have the emotions to make sense of those memories.

Yet again we have a bad brother , the ripper and an emotional crazy brother, the hotter one (Let's call him that). Even when Damon has turned off his humanity all these years there has always been a shred of something left behind that brings him back but when Stefen turns he is gone for a long time.

Even this time when he saw Sybil wear the necklace something clicked in him and you know exactly what happened. They are hiding things from each other and it will remain to be hidden for a few more episodes. Damon's emotions and Stefan's ripper one year.

I have more.

I promised to talk about Matt Donovan who is now crucial to the story. So here it is, what he has, (the object Damon and Sybil were looking for) could probably free them from the misery and to get it everyone ends up fighting on opposite sides. Currently, Salvatore brothers with Flipped switches are no good for anyone, and it doesn't matter if some blood is spilled like Elena's Biological father.

Now something to Blow your mind away! you ready??

There still is no sure word out about Nina coming back to the show as Elena or Katrine or ever. But what I do know is When Katrine was killed she was taken away by a blow of wind, (like a big black hole only for evil) and that's exactly what happened to Gorgie when Seline killed her. You see what I am getting at !
