HE DEVIL FROM CHRISTMAS PAST — Faced with the fallout from his interaction with Cade (guest star Wole Parks), Stefan (Paul Wesley) is determined to have one thing go right – Christmas Eve with Caroline. However, when Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Sybil (guest star Nathalie Kelley) crash their Christmas Eve dinner, which had been joined by Alaric (Matt Davis), Matt (Zach Roerig) and Peter (guest star Joel Gretsch), things quickly take a dark and twisted turn. Meanwhile, in a series of flashbacks to Stefan’s past, Cade’s attempt to entice him with his mysterious agenda leaves Stefan faced with an unimaginable decision. Kat Graham and Michael Malarkey also star. Tanya Hamilton directed the episode written by Shukree Hassan Tilghman (#807). Original airdate 12/9/2016.
First of all why is Matt bringing his Dad to Christmas Eve dinner with vamps, who he hates? Also, I love the idea of seeing Carolines dinner ruined by Damon!
I definitley feel like he's going to threaten to kill Caroline so Stefan shuts his humanity off with Damon, thus Evil teamed up Salvatore Brothers for the first and last time.
It's not, there will be no excuse plastered with these flashbacks. Unlike Damons. His first murders he needed Momma, he disobeyed his dad because he loved his turkey, he he killed Maggie and framed his brother because somehow someway Stefan should've magically guessed he was kidnapped.
Damon's experience in the hellstone was about teaching him to admit that he still loved his mother despite all the crazy s*** she did to him, not telling her that before she died and never having the chance to change that, also, in order to "rise from the ashes, Phoenix style he has to embrace the monster in himself and let Elena go. Which is what he's doing now. He didn't disobey his Dad because he loved his turkey, lol, he lied and said he stole money to protect Stefan and got a nice cigar burn in the process, Lily stole the money but let Damon get punished for it. Yes, maybe Stefan should have wondered where he was, and Damon had turned his switch off in order to survive, hence Maggie trying to stick him with an Augustine needle resulted in headless Maggie, Stefan style.
He didn't eat his dinner and made a big fit about it because of the turkey. That's how he remembers the flashbacks, Damons first murders are crutched by him needing his mom, his Maggie flashback not to mention his 1994 flashback are both blamed towards his humanity off/dimmered, so in those he's either always got an excuse like Stefan, or is the humanity switch only viable excuse for Damon?
Ok, lol, a big fit? No, but he begged not to be forced to EAT the pet that he cared for. IDK if you have a pet but I do, they are family. My Dad forcing me to eat my pet is pretty *beep* horrible to me! What's Stefans excuse, cause all I see is him doing is manipulating, lying and being protected by his big brother just like he's always been. Every time Damon reaches out to him Stefan finds a way to *beep* him up! Not vice versa, Stefan has never been a good brother. Bottom line, Stefan is a calculating, manipulative liar. Bonnie to Elena S1
I do, but Turkeys weren't pets back then, and no Damon came in 1994 eating on people, even Sarah's (pregnant) mom, Damon messed that up. Stefan gave him a chance, and you convientley forgot the "or" in Bonnie's quote. Which she later stated she was wrong.
Stefan always gets a pass, he can't help it he got the ripper gene from his Lily, Klaus made him do it, Caroline made him turn it off,it's all Damons fault, always, lol
