The Unofficial Companion to The Vampire Diaries
Season 5

In loving memory

Foreword
(be warned: season five spoilers lurk herein)
Theres a scene in The Vampire Diaries first episode that to this day still gives me goosebumps. Its the moment when Julie and I knew this show was going to be special. Whether or not it would find an audience, whether or not it would be a hit, we both knew that it was going to be something very special to us on both a professional and a personal level. It was the moment when Elena and Stefan meet face to face in the graveyard. Their eyes meet, they are connected. We had chemistry between our two leads. It was there and was felt by everyone on set. Its an introduction that includes a line from Elena that perfectly defines the mythology of the show: We have History together. A beautiful moment between two broken but strong souls in what can best be described as, and what soon became our buzzword for everything TVD, epic. It was the beginning. One hundred and eleven episodes later, the romance and mystery of Mystic Falls are stronger than ever, and I love every minute of it.
However, its no secret I was reluctant at first to join Julie in adapting the book series into a TV show. I didnt want to create another vampire love story knockoff. It was already overdone. I felt sure this would be the final nail in the coffin of the vampire genre that had taken the world by storm. But as I gave the books a chance, I realized this was much more than just a love story about a vampire and a mortal TVD was about loss and grief. It was about people and family. It told the story of how even the hopeless and lost can find a way to live and love. Its about family and second chances and all the sad and happy truths that come with life and death. It was truly epic. So, here we are five years later, and I couldnt be more proud and fulfilled to be a part of the TVD world. I was dealing with great grief and loss in my own personal life, and working with my dear friend Julie and all the wonderful cast and crew this show brought me back to life. It saved me in ways you will never know.
Season five was a huge milestone for us. We took Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie out of Mystic Falls and dropped them into Whitmore College, a place with mysterious ties to the Gilbert family. We delved deeper into the history of the doppelgngers and introduced new mythology through the Travelers. The Originals moved to New Orleans, Bonnie anchored the Other Side, and Katherine came face to face with the daughter who was ripped from her arms after childbirth. Stefan dealt with his shadow self, Silas, and lost his mind in the process. Damon went off the rails, redeemed himself, got the girl, and sacrificed himself to save Mystic Falls. And if that wasnt enough, we celebrated our 100th episode, a true testament to the incredible work done by our cast and crew over these past five years. I couldnt be prouder of Julie and Caroline Dries and their creative team for keeping the series going twist after twist. Their hard work and dedication is in every fiber of this show and its because of them that we have been so incredibly successful around the world.
The Vampire Diaries would be nothing without its eternally loyal and hardcore fans. Youve stood by us from the very beginning, keeping tabs on Julie and me and all of our fabulous writers as we deviated from the books and developed our own version of Mystic Falls. And through it all, Crissy and Heather have been our biggest cheerleaders. We first met them through the popular Vampire-Diaries.net, which connected us to you in ways we could never have imagined. I was floored when I saw how devoted the Vampire-Diaries.net team was at keeping up with us as they built their incredibly comprehensive website. With their Love You to Death books, theyve spent countless hours breaking down and analyzing each and every frame of season five. They bring you close to the action through insightful interviews, analysis, and witty commentary sometimes even calling us out on our mistakes! Their books serve as a perfect companion to the show and are a must-have for any TVD fan.
Thank you for being part of what is a truly special fandom family. Stay tuned for season six of TVD. Theres so much more twisty fun to come. So many more epically epic stories to tell
Much love,
Kevin Williamson
Introduction
Im in. Me too. Absolutely. Count me in. Done dealio. This spring, very shortly after we sent out interview requests for this here volume of Love You to Death to a list of TVD crew, our inboxes filled up with these quick and keen replies. As it turns out, the talented folks who work on The Vampire Diaries, just like those who watch it, are more than happy to talk about it. Which makes this season five companion a Super Edition: we have more insights and voices herein than in the previous four books combined. (See the sidebar for a rundown of whos who.) From the revealing backstories that informed what we ended up seeing on screen, to the lighting and framing and stunts, to the perspective on the season as a whole now that its in the rear-view mirror, this group of writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, production designers, and editors together provide a candid (and often funny) oral history of this season. We hope you find it as illuminating and entertaining to read as we did to put it together. After all (to paraphrase Ferris Bueller), The Vampire Diaries moves pretty fast. If you dont stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In the episode guide, each write-up begins with a bit of dialogue that stood out either because it captures the episode in a pithy few lines or it was just too well written to ignore. From there, we dive into an analysis of the episode, exploring its main themes, the character development, the questions it raises, or, in some cases, providing a critique. Next, we present these sections:
COMPELLING MOMENT Here we choose one moment that particularly stands out a turning point, a heartbreaker of a scene, or a shocking twist.
CIRCLE OF KNOWLEDGE This is the section in which youll find all the need-to-know info the details you may have missed on first watch, the cultural references, and motifs or recurring elements. If an episodes title is a play on another title (of a film, book, song, etc.), those references are explained here.
HISTORY LESSON The only class at Mystic Falls High School that ever got considerable screen time is history. History, both real and fictional, is important in this series so, for the characters historical quips, the towns history, and subtle references, History Lesson is your study aid.
THE RULES Any work of fiction with a supernatural element has its own particular spin on how that world operates. Here we catalog what weve learned about what goes bump in the night.
PREVIOUSLY ON THE VAMPIRE DIARIES History repeats itself in Mystic Falls, and here we outline the incidents, motifs, and key moments that are revisited or echoed in each episode.
