The Birthday
The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 1 (09/15/11)
Recap
The Vampire Diaries kicks off season three with a party for Elena's 18th birthday. What went down?
- Stefan is traveling around with Klaus, killing people. Klaus wants to build an army of werewolf/vampire hybrids and tracks down his first guinea pig, Ray Sutton.
- Damon tells Elena to let go of the murderous Stefan, who calls her at the end of the episode and says nothing, but lets us know part of him is still good inside.
- There is still sexual tension between Damon and Elena, but shows little sign of being acted upon.
- Jeremy is being haunted by his dead exes. Matt is his BFF now and will soon be his partner in crime.
- Caroline and Tyler have smoldering hot sex. Then his mom shoots her with some sort of tranquilizer.
- Alaric is a bit of a lost soul at the moment.






Damon: She's strong and crafty and you'll die. Elena: At least I'll die trying.

This episode made me feel sorry for Elena,freaked out with Tyler and Caroline's relationship,and see how terrible things get to ruin Elena's birthday. It kind of reminds me of New Moon on Bella's birthday when she was almost killed by Jasper and ruining her birthday. =|

3/5 ratings because as expected, it didn't excited me.I didn't feel any thrill.
I pitied on andy starr death.poor andy ......stefan has gone full ripper but there still a part of him which feels something for family.after stefan killed andy, I mean when andy died, I really felt sorry for damon.one thing I don't like, klaus doesn't look like special, I mean he is an original he should be more like elijah in style/honour but he looks very normal.
After all it was a great episode.poor caroline.

i can imagine after damon and elena finding stefan, and damon realising he'll never get elena, him and stefan kinda switch roles,so damon goes all bad but really bad,then stefan goes all sweet and shiz...n'aww damon
