The Vampire Diaries. Season 1, Episode 14: Fool Me Once

Not the mid-season-ender I was looking for but it pretty much satisfies that urge for blood. There's kidnapping, dying, who-gets-to-the-tomb-first feel, witches chanting, and of course, more characters to throw in the plot thickening mix. The Vampire Diaries started from being classically linear to who-the-hell-is-the-main-villain web. As my officemate would say, good job!
