The latest episode of 'The Vampire Diaries', 'A View to a Kill', didn't improve much quality wise. I feel a little disappointed with 'The Vampire Diaries' lately because the season started off so well and I haven't liked the past couple of episodes too much. Although, maybe I'm just being too critical. This week, Stefan begins the episode when he wakes up next to Rebekah. He tries to sneak out but Klaus stops him at the door. Klaus is here to talk to Rebekah about Kol. He wants Rebekah to give him the dagger and white ash so he can stop Kol from ruining his plans concerning the cure. But, Rebekah doesn't agree to giving the dagger to Klaus because that leaves her unprotected. So Klaus asks Stefan to help instead. At the Mystic Falls High School, Bonnie is helping set up for the decade dance, the decade this year is the 80's. I've been waiting for this show to do this decade for so long now. On the phone, Elena tells Bonnie that she wants Jeremy to kill Kol and this will be beneficial because if he kills Kol then it will kill all of Kol's bloodline. Meaning that Jeremy's mark will be finished if he just kills Kol already. After Elena explains all this, she realizes that someone has put vervain in the town's water supply when she tries to wash some dishes. Bonnie finds out that it was he newly elected daddy that has been pumping the vervain. Also, he has put a curfew on the whole town so there will be no decade dance. As Bonnie hangs up on her annoying father, Kol pops out of nowhere and tries to kill her. But she uses her expression and gets away. In the Salvatore cellar, Klaus shows up to babysit a locked up Damon while Stefan searches for Rebekah's dagger. Elena then calls Stefan about Kol trying to kill Bonnie so she lets it slip that she wants Jeremy to kill Kol. The new plan is for Stefan to find Rebekah's dagger then give it to Matt so he can dagger Rebekah with it so she won't try to kill them when Kol is dead. I don't really know if that's right because it was really long and complicated and just too much double crossing. To lure Kol into her trap, Elena calls him and says that she wants a truce.
Kol shows up at the Gilbert residence and asks to be invited in as a form of trust. Elena tells Matt to help Stefan find the dagger and Jeremy to go find Bonnie. When they're gone, Elena invites Kol in. At Rebekah's place, she tries to find an outfit for the decade dance but Stefan tells her that it's canceled. However, Stefan asks her to still go as a way of distracting her. Back with Elena, Kol makes her a drink while Matt and Jeremy are having no luck with their respected assignments. Meanwhile, Bonnie tries to get to Elena's house but her dad is relentless. Jeremy finally gets there to tell Bonnie what's happening but Bonnie's mother, Abby, also shows up. I was surprised because I had no idea that Abby was going to reappear.
Abby is being real annoying so Jeremy tries to kill her but Bonnie stops him and sends him home. Unfortunately, Elena lets Kol get away before they can get Jeremy to kill him. At the decade dance, Stefan and Rebekah admit that they are caring vampires. Back at the Gilbert's, Jeremy returns home to find Kol gone. Although, Kol comes back to say that he doesn't care for a truce. By the time Kol gets back in, Elena and Jeremy are already playing hide and seek. Bonnie is having a rough night as Abby doesn't agree with Shane's teaching or expression. When Bonnie tries to leave her mother then drugs her. This is a normal parenting tactic.
Kol calls Klaus to tell him that Elena and co. are planning on killing him. Klaus gets real angry cause that wasn't the plan so he makes his way over. At the dance, Rebekah is enjoying herself and having a great time. She even shows Stefan that she has the dagger hidden on her person. Wait! What!? Then why is Matt searching her house!? In the fight against Kol, Elena and Jeremy fail.
Rebekah ain't stupid and soon realizes that Stefan wants the dagger but she thinks he just wants it for Klaus because she doesn't know the second plan that's happening behind everyone's back. She then tells Stefan that she gave him the dagger because she wants the cure as she wants to be human. Back with Bonnie, Abby plans to keep her drugged until she can find some witches but Bonnie's expression is more powerful than that. She gets up and makes her way to Elena's house, where Kol is trying to cut off Jeremy's arm. Although, Elena gets to them in time, Jeremy sprays him with the vervain water, Elena finds the white oak stake in Kol's pocket, hands it to Jeremy and then boom. Kol is dead y'all. What they don't know though is that a sad Klaus has been watching all this from the open door.
Klaus tells Elena that he's going to burn her house down so Bonnie arrives just in time. She tells Elena to invite Klaus inside and then Bonnie traps him in the Gilbert living room. At Rebekah's house, Stefan has to tell her about Kol. She's very sad but she decides to trust Stefan again so she can be human. Over at the Salvatore's, Damon somehow freed himself from the cellar (I wasn't clear on how he did this but he's now free from Kol's compulsion) and then Stefan enters with the tombstone they needed. He also tells them that Rebekah is on their side but Elena gets upset with him. Damon lets it slip that Stefan and Rebekah had sex, this turns into a fist fight between the brothers. Which is interrupted with Jeremy's mark growing all over his body. That ends another episode and I wish it would end this whole cure storyline. I mean, I want Elena to have the cure but this storyline is dragging and I'm really bored of it right now. Maybe next week will be better but right now it feels like some of these storylines have been done and we're repeating stuff so that can be frustrating for a viewer, like myself.
Overall episode score:-
'A View to a Kill' = A-
