Vampire Diaries Episode Recap: "The Turning Point"

The last Vampire Diaries of the decade also (ironically) capped off ten episodes of death, witchcraft and drama—MAJOR drama.

Viewers have gone on quite a journey since first setting foot in Mystic Falls and that can be attributed to one thing—consistently solid writing. Show runners Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson aren't content with simply spinning their wheels.

This is the story of Mystic Falls and its inhabitants— living and undead. There's a lot of moving pieces to this story and boy are they moving. I noted in my very first recap for the series just how many characters are being juggled in this show and I can't believe how far we've come with them in only ten chapters.

So, what happened into night's chapter, "The Turning Point?"

First there were vamps, then witches... Now, the ghosts — well, it's actually just one ghost, for now —have come to town.  Man, Mystic Falls just can't catch a break.

Proving yet again that the word "stall" doesn't exist in the Vampire Diaries' writers' room, "History Repeating" brought Bonnie's first significant adventure as a witch to a close while also revealing the reason for the timing of Damon's return to Mystic Falls.  Hint: It's not for the high-school football.

Meet Vampire Diaries' New Slayer

Matthew Davis arrived on the Atlanta set of The Vampire Diaries just two days after getting the gig, leaving him no time to read the books; so playing Alaric Saltzman, an enigmatic new teacher, wasn't that tough. Right off the bat, Alaric takes a shine to both Jeremy and his aunt, but it will be a while before his true passion is revealed. (Hint: Alaric has something in common with Buffy.) Davis tells TVGuide.com what Alaric is researching in Mystic Falls, when he'll interact with Stefan and Damon and why he hopes never to be called to the special-effects office.
