This Post Is Exclusively About Tonight’s “The Vampire Diaries” And Full Of Spoilers.
DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN TONIGHT’S EPISODE OF “THE VAMPIRE DIARIES”. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Okay. Here’s my beef about tonight’s episode. I LOVED the Bonnie Is Not Dead Twist…but here’s the thing. If she really did just “cast a spell” that faked her death?

E on his way to Prom This is Spring Break! Except…not yet. Due to that huge snow in January, we lost today and tomorrow of our Spring Break. They decided this a few weeks after the snow, and everyone who had already made Spring Break plans had to bring in “proof” to the school and fill out paperwork saying they wouldn’t be here these two days.
