Sybil has a sister… and a way for Stefan to save Damon
I’m going to be honest.
I have mixed feelings about this whole Hell thing.
you’re free to’t spend your life killing people and expect no consequences.

Or it will once Damon flips his humanity back on.
Either way, I’m willing to see how it plays out.
Now, let’s talk about the hour, starting with this week’s throwback title.
“An Eternity of Misery”:This one’s a classic.
And how that plays into tonight’s episode is actually quite perfect.
In the beginning, we’re introduced to two young girls.
Why is that relevant?
It seems he and Ric have big plans to hang out with Sybil today.
Sybil: “Says the man who can be killed with a stick.”
She’s not wrong.
But she wasn’t alone on the island.
There was another girl with psychic abilities there, and together, they survived.
So yeah, there’s a siren on the loose.
As for Stefan, he gets to hear the rest of Sybil’s story.
As Sybil puts it, “The parallels are too good.”
So she asks Stefan, “Which girl are you?”
Stefan doesn’t want to play along, so Sybil continues the story.
It turns out, there were never provisions on the ships.
Again she asks Stefan, “Which girl are you?”
Just as Stefan tells Sybil that Damon will always be his brother, Sybil’s sister shows up.
Well, sort of.
Georgie knocks Stefan out, which allows Sybil to get inside Stefan’s head.
She takes him inside her own memory, back to the island, to finish the story.
Sybil finishes her story, showing Stefan the moment when the village girl realized what the island had done.
Furthermore, that sister’s not Georgie.
And Sybil still wants an answer to her question: Which girl is Stefan?
“Who are you,” she asks, before Stefan responds, “I’m both.”
After Sybil realized what she’d done on the island, she threw herself off the cliffs.
She was on the verge of death when Arcadius Cade, for short paid the sisters a visit.
Sybil tries to explain to Stefan that Cade is the way to save Damon.
“All you have to do is kill the devil.”
(If only they had the Winchesters on their side, amiriteSupernaturalfans?)
And currently, it’s where he’s waiting for Stefan.
It’s a stain that will always be on Stefan’s soul.
And it’s one Stefan will admit, but he won’t let Damon go down with him.
“Maybe I do deserve it,” he tells her.
“Damon doesn’t.
I made him what he is.
If it’s my fault.
But Damon’s fate is already sealed.
As for Georgie, she returns to Seline to deliver a message from Sybil: “Piss off.”
To kill Georgie and send her straight to Cade.
(Is that where Katherine is?!?!)
Believe it or not, that wasn’t ALL the family drama that went on in this episode.
Apparently, Pete has something that Sybil wants, some sort of family heirloom.
Only, Pete has no idea what it could be.
(Was it just me or did those bullets look blue?
I hope they match Matt’s eyes.)
Matt tries to call Damon’s bluff.
He knows that killing Tyler is too far, even for Damon.
Elena would never forgive him for that.
But as Damon explains, “Elena and I are through.”
In fact, Damon’s been seeing another woman.
I’m still not totally following that.
If Matt hurries, he might be able to save him.
By the time Matt gets there, Tyler’s dead in the trunk of a car.
Who knows if he was ever alive.
But also, DAMON KILLED TYLER AND LEFT HIM IN THE TRUNK OF A CAR.
Can we talk about this?!
Tyler Lockwood, the annoying jock who somehow became the lovable werewolf and stole Caroline’s heart isdead.
And Damon did it.
(Also, Matt crying will forever take me back to this season 1 moment.)
Is it finally time for these beloved characters to pay for their actions?
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
