The New Stefan
claudio_carvalho9 November 2013
Damon is secretly tracking down Stefan's murders and covering his slaughtering in Tennessee with Alaric. On the day of Elena's birthday, Caroline plans a party for her at Damon's house. Meanwhile, Klaus and Stefan are chasing Ray Sutton, who is a werewolf, to know the place where his pack gathers. Jeremy continues to see Anna and Vicky and he tells Matt what is happening to him. During the party, Stefan gives a bloody message to Damon to stop following him and Carolina and Tyler spend the night together. Damon is shaken with Stefan's attitude and decides to forget him.

"The Birthday" is an episode where we see the new Stefan, an evil and wicked killer. The fate of Andie Star is very cruel and Stefan looks like Damon in the beginning of "The Vampire Diaries". Caroline and Damon are very funny with exaggerated sex drive due to their new conditions. What will happen to Caroline is the question in the end of the episode. Damon lost Katherine, Rose and now Andie Star and he really liked the journalist. It is inconsistent that he sends a message to Damon to forget him, and then calling Elena. My vote is eight.

Hello ,Birthday Girl!
ivo-cobra81 May 2013
"The Birthday" of TVD is the premiere of the third season which is the start one of the best promises seasons so far. I am definitely going to buy The Third Season on Blu-ray end of this month. The third season consisted of 22 episodes and focused on the story of Klaus' origin, his relation with his family and reveal more about the original family. The story's in this seasons aren't evolving in Mystic Falls they are also set in Tennessee and Chicago area in modern way. The first two seasons weren't set in different places other than Mystic Falls but here they finally are set in different areas.

Klaus and Stefan are in Tennessee ripping two women's head off while Klaus is looking for a men a werewolf Ray Sutton and his wolf pack. In this scene we finally see Stefan's other dark evil side than we saw it in the first two seasons really fantastic.

Two months has past since Stefan left Mystic Falls Elena and Damon at the end of Season 2 finale "As I Lay Dying" #Ep22, the summer is ending, Elena's 18th birthday is coming up, Caroline is busy planning a birthday party for Elena, but Elena is focused on searching for any clues that might help her discover where Stefan is. Damon is also searching for Stefan, while trying to protect Elena and keep her from doing anything that would draw Klaus' attention.We finally see Andie Star back with Damon in this episode portrayed by actress Dawn Olivieri last time we saw her was in Season 2 Episode 19 "Klaus" when Damon chased her away when he was really hurt and upset.I am so glad that producers decide to put her character back and that she was back with Damon.

There was a funny scene when Damon walk naked from the bath around the house walking towards Elena and she saw him naked it was really funny Elena, Damon moment.

The Birthday first episode of Third seasons is one of the best ever.

Elena,Jeremy and Alaric did went trough hard time of Jenna's death but they are still going strong. Jeremy must face now with ghosts Vicky Donovan and Anna both from Season 1 when he was brought back to life by Bonnie's magic.The spirits warned her that there will be consequences and they open the spirit world.

Caroline and Tyler are talking on the table Matt is upset and Jeremy is talking to Bonnie. Damon and Alaric are traveling to Tennessee in the house they find two women dead ripped off and corpses lying they were both from Stefan.

Elena's birthday party is one of the best ones i have seen, Jeremy is smoking a pot again, Caroline was angry on Tyler cause he was with new date and they realize that they love each other no matter what differences they have.Stefan lures into death Andie, Damon's girlfriend so that he will stop following him. We see Damon's other good site and vulnerable site.

Jeremy and Matt confront to each other that they both see Vicky as a ghost and Alaric is moving out of Elena's house because of his behavior to focus on his personal life. Damon is upset and is throwing Stefan's stuff of what Stefan did to him. Damon is honest to Elena about Stefan, finale scene Stefan call's Elena but he does not say anything Elena tell 's him that she love's him - Elena's quote: "Stefan, if this is you, you'll be OK. I love you, Stefan. Hold onto that. Never let that go." Carol Lockwood shoots Caroline with several darts sending her to the ground.

The Birthday - TVD S03 #Ep01 is promising,excitement episode fill with joy and wonderful music it ends with a cliffhanger.One of the best premiere episodes the beginning in Season 3 and i love it so much.

Season 3 starts off great for the first 8 or 9 episodes but falls into stupid annoy twilight love traiangles, its not the season of the originals, I loved ripper stefan and Klaus on a murder spree roadtrip, they should split this season by having Klaus and ripper Stefan being away from everyone else, overall I love this episode.

This is where it stops working for me.

Warning: Spoilers
The show itself and the script, that is yet again written by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec. Feel silly and lacking in what made the first seasons more than just a fantasy show by the CW. You can sense Plec doing her own thing solo, during most of the episode. Which made for really cringeworthy lines and interactions between characters. The fact that it was Elena's birthday, was interesting. But most of what was said and done during the party, was dull compared to last season. Making Stefan, Klaus's wingman, was both a good and a bad idea. And honestly, why didn't they just kill Klaus at the end of « the sun also rises »?! His character is creating useless drama, and this season premiere make the show look stuck on a rut. You have the infamous phone call at the end, to show Stefan still cares for Elena, and nothing's entirely lost. With one of fans favorite songs. But couldn't they just have concentrated on the other side arc instead? And leave season 2 big bad behind?

Ripper Stefan
vivianla23 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A country girl wearing wedges and a tank comes out calling for her dog. She is a beautiful blonde. Klaus shows up and asks to use their phone. Klaus tells Stefan to kill them both.

It is Elena's birthday. It has been two months since Stefan was last seen. Elena enters Damon's bedroom only to see him proudly naked.

She dresses in a white dress and white heels. Damon helps her put on the necklace he found.

Caroline has prepared a huge party, not a small gathering. It is a typical high school movie party - drinking, dancing, beer pong, drugs. Damon fits right in. Tyler admits his hormones have been raging and he has asked Sophie to the party, a girl known to sleep with ppl. Caroline admits hers are as well.

Caroline gets jealous watching Tyler and Sophie dance dirty on the floor. Caroline finally shows she is interested by kissing him. They go to his room to have sex.

Damon goes to the studio to pick Andie up but sees Stefan. He has gotten Andie up above them ready to fall to her death.

Elena is home and prettily uses her hands to flip her hair out from behind her. She gets a call from an unknown caller but she assumes it is Stefan when no noise is heard. She tells him to remember that she loves him. Hold on to that.

Caroline creeps out and Ms. Lockwood catches her. She shoots Caroline when Caroline gasps at the hissing of the vervain when she touches her bag.
