In one word the 100th episode of The Vampire Diaries was: EPIC! There are more words to describe it but that pretty much sums it up. We saw a lot of old faces come back including the Originals (although Elijah really wasn't there, a cruel delusion made by Damon to torture Katherine) and Damon's old drinking buddy, Alaric. I know the episode opens with Damon and Elena in equal heart break over their break up but I don't want to start with Delena drama. Especially if Caroline is going to crow about it.

| This girl never stays dead for long... |
Instead we'll start with Katherine dying. After taking the vampire cure she began to age rapidly. Now she's on her death bed while everyone (except the compassionate Stefan) is playing a drinking game: How did Katherine Pierce ruin your life? That's a game that will make you go through 5 bottles of the Salvatore's finest whiskey. Damon was the lead in this twisted party game but then Stefan came in to dampen everyone's joy by making them remember that Katherine did what she did to survive because well...: her daughter was torn away from her, she was going to be sacrificed by Klaus who in turn murdered her whole family and chased her for 500 years. Way to rain on everyone's parade. Still that didn't stop Damon from celebrating.

| You'll go through 5 bottles of whiskey with this game. |
Everyone has that one bad ex who made their life hell and everyone has had those fantasies on how they would torture that ex. Well Damon lives his dreams. The fruit did not rot far from the tree as Nadia pulled some nasty "Katherine-like" trick to get the gang to help her save the mother she finally found. Nadia kidnapped Matt and buried him alive somewhere. Like mother like daughter. So while everyone was on a "Matt-hunt", Damon stayed behind to mentally torture Katherine since Liz wouldn't let him smother her. Liz just hates paper work. He made her relive some very traumatizing memories such as Katherine coming home to her family slaughtered. Yet even on her death bed, Katherine manages to deal out a few stabs at Damon. Katherine revealed that she met Stefan first, well not exactly "met" so much as saw him on the road, making her decide to switch from the Lockwoods to the Salvatores so she could get to know Stefan. It was the universe putting the doppelgängers together.

Speaking of doppelgängers, we know that the Travelers hate immortality (what witch doesn't have an issue with that?) but they also want the Silas and Amara doppelgängers for some nefarious purpose. Nadia left Stefan and Elena (who were arguing over Stefan's hook up with Katherine) at the mercy of the Travelers. But instead of seeing this as an awkward moment, Stefan and Elena came to an agreement that Katherine deserves a little sympathy. Stefan is the only one who gives Katherine a happy alternate memory of the worst day of her life. Such a nice guy.

| Nothing like a romp in the woods: scandalous sex is right! |
Now onto the best part of the episode. All fans of Klaroline are sitting pretty happy, ecstatic actually over Caroline's "scandalous sex" forest rendezvous with who else? Klaus, the Original Hybrid who has been chasing her for a few seasons. Klaus came to Mystic Falls to torment Katerina Petrova one last time. But I think he was more interested in seeing Caroline. They flirted and jabbed each other a bit (their little tango of course) until Klaus said that he would leave Katherine to die in peace if Caroline admitted that she had feelings for him. Caroline is stubborn as we know, but I think she has grown up enough to finally let go of her prejudices about Klaus. Klaus said he would never come back to Mystic Falls (sad for us) and Caroline gave Klaus quite the sexy, hot, and scandalous send off. When Caroline came back to the Salvatore house and Matt asked where she was, Caroline took a leaf from her hair and said, "I was in the woods I got lost." Yeah Caroline you got lost alright, but it wasn't in the woods.

Klaroline joy aside, Katherine has become sympathetic this 100th episode. We see that Katherine really loved her daughter, Nadia, and that in the end she was just a girl that the world tore to pieces. In reality would anyone else have done differently had they lived Katherine's life? Even Elena decided to sit by her enemy's side. They are related after all, Kat's Elena's great-great-great-great-etc grandmother. So Elena decided to give in to her human compassion and forgive her tormentor. I would like to think Katherine meant what she said to her look-a-like rival by thanking her and wanting her to jam the needle into her one last time to send her off to oblivion. However, as Elena was pushing that needle, Katherine pulled a fast one and placed a piece of her soul into her double. So I guess Nina Dobrev doesn't have to be in two places at once, just have a double personality. Less stress over costume changes.
