What did you think about the first episode The Vampire Diaries season 5? Share your thoughts and watch the promo for episode 2, titled “True Lies.”
In The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 1 “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” we got a plethora of surprises given to us for the premiere.
Silas is back in Mystic Falls impersonating Stefan but this time he is not pretending he’s anyone else. Harassing people through-out the episode we find out that Silas is definitely not a vampire, and he has a lot more power than you would have thought. While he’s off doing that we see Jeremy get expelled from school and almost die in a car crash only to get saved by Damon at the last second.
Katherine, who was also in that car – and the reason for it’s crash, is human again and asked Damon for his help to protect her, but Damon decided to hand her over to Silas instead, hence the reasoning for her crashing Jeremy’s car.
Meanwhile at Whitmore College, Elena and Caroline find out they were given a roommate, Megan, who apparently knows about vampires! We see brief glimpses of Jesse, Caroline’s potential love interest for this season, just before Megan gets attacked and killed by a vampire at a college party. The murder was covered up by a suicide note, leaving Elena and Caroline to wonder who really did it and how much they know.
Speaking of which, it turns out Megan may have known a lot more than she gave on when Elena found a picture of her with Elena’s dad on her cell phone. Silas ended the episode by slitting Bonnie’s dad’s throat and compelling the entire town to look for Katherine Pierce, who ran away after the car accident.
Check out the promo for next Thursday’s episode:
The episode description for “True Lies” reads:
Without telling Elena (Nina Dobrev) that Stefan (Paul Wesley) is missing, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) turns to Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) for help finding his brother. Elena and Caroline (Candice Accola) try to find out who is covering up a campus murder, and a fellow Whitmore student named Jesse (guest star Kendrick Sampson) gives Elena some intriguing information about Professor Wes Maxfield (guest star Rick Cosnett).
While Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) struggles to return to his old life, he continues to be the only person who can see and talk to Bonnie (Kat Graham), but he can’t convince her that it’s time to let the others know that she sacrificed her own life for his. After learning that Silas is searching for Katherine, Damon asks Matt (Zach Roerig) and Jeremy to keep her out of sight, but the situation quickly spirals out of control. Finally, Nadia (guest star Olga Fonda) uses violence to make a point about her own agenda.
The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 2 “True Lies” airs next Thursday at 8/7c on The CW.
