‘Vampire Diaries’: Travelers’ Plans To Capture Elena Revealed

Doppelgängers and Travels and witches, oh my! What happened to the days where ‘Vampire Diaries’ was all vamps? Those are no longer.

Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) woke up thinking the toughest part of their day would be getting over that morning-after-hooking-up awkwardness, but that was only the beginning. Not only did Elena have a near-death experience thanks to Liv (Penelope Mitchell), she was about to come head to head with the leader of the Travelers — meet Markos (Raffi Barsoumian).

Liv & Luke: What Do They Want With Elena?

After their hot hookup, Elena and Damon head to an uncomfortable parent-teacher conference for Jeremy (Steven McQueen), which couldn’t have been anymore awkward. Through their sexual tension — yes, he pushed her up against the lockers and she imagined them going at it on a teacher’s desk — it was drawn to their attention that Jeremy needed a new, calmer life.
And apparently so did they — the conference was interrupted by Liv (Penelope Mitchell) trying to put a wooden stake through Elena’s heart. Luckily, Damon saves the day just in time again and Liv is forced to clear the air on what’s going on with the witches-vs-Travelers thing: Elena is the last female doppelgänger and the Travelers want control over her, as do the witches. So, in Damon’s mind the only understandable solution is to kill Liv, but Jeremy’s not about to let that happen. Ugh.

While I was pissed that he was interested in Liv, it’s actually just to protect Elena. He decides to propose a deal to Liv and her brother (Chris Brochu) – he’ll help with the Travelers if they protect Elena — with the help of Tyler and Matt, of course. Now that’s a team we want to hang with.
It won’t be tough for Luke to protect Elena, since she decides to officially move out of Damon’s house and move back to Whitmore, to finally say goodbye to him. She makes it pretty clear she doesn’t want to end it, but knows she has to, and he accepts, sealing it with a romantic kiss on the forehead like a gentleman. Eh, we prefer the up-against-the-locker Damon.
