3-9 Weecap	Rebekah, The Evil Blood Slut Homecoming - No Homecoming dance for our poor Beckster. Maybe she can make it to Prom. Yes, of course more happens, but I'm not spoiling a mid-season finale on the homepage.	2011.11.10 2011.11.14	A+	Cindy McLennan
3-8 Weecap	Originally... Ordinary People - Eloise Hawking v.2 is the Original Witch. Cuse and Lindelof owe Williamson and Plec dinner for cleaning up so much lingering Lost mythology.	2011.11.03 2011.11.07	B	Cindy McLennan

3-6 Weecap	Come On, Buffy Smells Like Teen Spirit - It's Bonfire Night in Mystic Falls, which means a big back-to-school keg party in the woods -- one the kids can advertise in school, because the adults are just that absent.	2011.10.20 2011.10.24	B	Cindy McLennan
3-5 Weecap	Bite Me, Again... The Reckoning - It's Senior Prank Night. It's also Original Prank Night. Mystic Falls High School really ought to invest in some locks.	2011.10.13 2011.10.17	A-	Cindy McLennan

3-1 Weecap	Just Because I Tell You Things Doesn't Mean You're Allowed To Know Them The Birthday - It's Elena's birthday, but even though she catches sight of Damon wearing nothing but bath bubbles, she's feeling less than festive, and is desperate for news of Stefan, who, along with Klaus, is cutting a bloody swath up and down the Eastern Seaboard. To Caroline, this means it's the perfect time to throw a birthday bash at Mossy Manse, where a haunted Jeremy gets high again, but at least his hair looks good.	2011.09.15 2011.09.18	A	Cindy McLennan
2-22 Weecap	Frankly My Dear, It's Okay To Love Them Both As I Lay Dying - Fiddle dee dee. The second season finale brings near-death, death, and more resurrection. Denouement in Mystic Falls is a heart-stabbing, blood-sucking Ripper, and as God is my witness, I wouldn't have it any other way.	2011.05.12 2011.05.17	B+	Cindy McLennan

2-18 Weecap	Here's To Duplicity The Last Dance - Klaus, in Alaric's body, goes up against Bonnie, and Damon will always choose Elena, duh.	2011.04.14 2011.04.18	A+	Cindy McLennan
2-17 Weecap	Know Thine Enemy Know Thy Enemy - In which your recapper is so mind-blown, she resorts to fixing the title in her headline, rather than trying to come up with something quippy. Also?

2-13 Weecap	In Which Damon Showers And Bathes Daddy Issues - Damon starts out the episode in the shower and ends it in the bathtub. The wolves kidnap and torture Caroline. Damon. Shower. Bath. Ty gets caught in the middle. Damon. Shower. Bath. Uncle Daddy pulls rank. Damon. Shower. Bath.	2011.02.03 2011.02.07	B+	Cindy McLennan
2-12 Weecap	I Am Not Your Woobie; I'm Your Hamlet! The Descent - To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the Critter Blood and Vervain of outrageous fortune; or to take Fangs against a Sea of humans, and by opposing end them.	2011.01.27 2011.01.31	A-	Cindy McLennan

2-8 Weecap	Doppelicious The Rose - Bela from Supernatural visits, reviving old fangurlie complaints that make me ill, but on TVD, she's a vampire named Rosemarie and responsible for Elena's kidnapping by the Masquerade Clown. Ro's actions contribute to some stunning Damon/Elena scenes, so can we not get over it, Dean Girls? Please?	2010.11.04 2010.11.08	A-	Cindy McLennan
2-7 Weecap	OMG I CAN'T EVEN! Masquerade - Aimee and friend are offed. Katherine is captured. Tyler turns. Black witches are the new black. And of course Stefan and Elena get back together, right? Not so fast...	2010.10.28 2010.11.01	A	Cindy McLennan

2-2 Weecap	Moral Ambiguity For The Win! Brave New World - Caroline's a vampire and a quick study who will brook no insolence from her former torturer, Damon, who is now the head of the council.
