The 100th episode of "The Vampire Diaries" definitely had some game-changing moments. So, before the 101st episode airs this Thursday, let me get some questions out there:
No. 1 - Did Klaus really leave Mystic Falls, and Caroline, for good?
Yes, I decided to start with Klaroline. Let's face it, the Caroline/Klaus hook-up was the biggest moment of the episode. It's something many fans had been waiting for. However, the terms under which the hook-up occurred is what is causing unrest among many "Klaroline" shippers. Caroline made Klaus promise to leave and never come back if she showed him how she felt. But that can't happen right? "Klaroline" can't be over, can it? Now, I understand the writers can do whatever they want. So if an opportunity for Klaus and Caroline to reunite presents itself they'll probably take it. However, Klaus and Caroline's words in this encounter don't leave the opening that Klaus' words at the end of Season 4 did. "He's your first love, I intend to be your last - however long it takes." My guess is this won't be the last of Klaus and Caroline. However, the writers and producers most likely wanted viewers to know that Klaus and Caroline are done for now.
No. 2 - Was the plot twist really that big of a plot twist?
I was geared up for a HUGE plot twist during the 100th episode. You know, something I wouldn't see coming. However, the twist was that Katherine would take over Elena's body. Now, here's why as a plot twist, it's not much of a big deal. When you think about it, Katherine is going to be impersonating Elena. However, Katherine has been impersonating Elena since Season 1. I will admit I didn't guess this outcome. However, if you stop to think, it wasn't hard to see this coming. Now, let me be clear, just because I don't think this course of events was a major shocker, doesn't mean it doesn't peek my interest. It will be very interesting to see what Katherine will have planned with her daughter Nadia and how she'll interact with the Salvatore brothers.
No. 3 - What did the travelers want with the doppelganger blood?
Stefan should probably be worried about his interesting experience in the run-down house. The travelers cornered him and Elena, took their blood and then let them go on their merry way. While I'm pretty sure Stefan is happy they didn't kill him, he has to be wondering what the Travelers will do with the blood.
