Why It’s Great<\/strong><\/p>\n

This episode saw the rise and fall of one of The Vampire Diaries<\/em> best characters: Vicki Donovan. It kicks off with her attacking Tyler Lockwood, in a moment of uncontrollable bloodlust. Stefan intervenes and tries to reform her. She’s recently become a vampire, but Stefan is trying to teach her how to control her urges. Vicki doesn’t buy into Stefan’s life of controlling all\u00a0urges. She asks him point blank, “Why can’t I have people blood?”<\/p>\n

Elena is determined to keep Vicki away from Jeremy now that she’s a vampire. When she tells him it’s for the best to let Vicki go, he tells her that being with Vicki is the first thing that’s made him start to feel a little better since their parents death. After several altercations, Vicki tries to bite Elena and Stefan stakes her.<\/p>\n

In a big character defining moment for Elena, we see her make the judgment call to have Damon wipe Jeremy’s memory so that he doesn’t know Stefan killed Vicki.<\/p>\n
