The second episode of the seventh season of The Vampire diaries starts out, like the first episode of the season, with a flash forward three years into the future. This time, a little less exciting. In the aftermath of last week's episode, Damon, Stefan and Bonnie try to rescue Caroline from Lily with help from Matt. The thing with this season so far, is that the writers prove that the show doesn't need Elena to work. However, the viewers are constantly reminded of her absence thus creating an awkward situation in general. I just hope they'll focus on her less as the season continues. As for the flash forwards, I hope that they don't contribute to any plot holes or this show will indeed become "LOST" with vampires. Alaric gets a new, original and exciting storyline with a new item called the "phoenix stone" that supposedly has the power of resurrection but with some side effects. As for Enzo, loyalty still lies with Lily but I think we all secretly hope that he'll become Damon's bad ass friend again.
These first few episodes have (like they should) been laying the groundwork for the rest of the season. Though the show is not what it once was, I'm still fairly excited to see where all of this will lead. My vote is 7/10.
