Damon was all kinds of awesome for getting stuff done this episode. As usual, I totally agree with everything you said about him. Getting to see so much of naked!Damon was delightful. I did enjoy when he was so smooth with Rebekah. She really does just want someone to pay her attention and like her. Sage's ability to take & put images in other's minds was cool.
I found Alaric & Meredith interesting this time. I thought Matt Davis did an excellent job of portraying Psycho!Alaric. The scene in the MRI machine, his face said so much. Nicely done, Matt! I also didn't wan't Meredith to die, for the first time, when Ric was going after her.
Yay, for Stefan learning control and toasting himself. I'm happy to see him starting to find his middle ground.
Bonnie & Caroline & Abby were better that before, IMO. I was ready to smack Abby for bailing on Bonnie again, but really wasn't surprised given her history.
Elena's journey is a tough one. I didn't much like her attitude either, finding it more than a little judgey, but I do understand where it came from. It just seems so sad to me that her & Damon had this lovely, close friendship and that seems to be gone for the moment. I would have liked her to reach out to Damon when she was having a hard time at the end of the episode (but I'm glad we got to see Jeremy). Her saying that Damon isn't the best one to teach Stefan self-control was way off the mark. I'm interested to see where Elena's character ends up by the end of this season.
