Trivia
The song "Eyes on Fire" plays near the start of this episode. It also appears in the movie Twilight (2008), which also has a vampire theme.

Goofs
Tyler claims that the sire bond didn't affect how he felt about Klaus. While that may have been true during the later part of the bond, in the beginning he clearly portrays irrational feelings of loyalty towards him.

Quotes

Elena Gilbert: No. I don't have to be at school for...

no, Caroline, Damon is not the ugh, Stefan is the ugh...!

For once, I don't agree with Caroline. The "epic" couple isn't Elena and Stefan, but Elena and Damon. The problem here lies in the casting. Ian Somerhalder is magnificent as Damon, while Paul Wesley is lackluster (besides the physique) and cold. Perhaps that is only how Paul Wesley comes across, I don't know anything about the guy, only that on-screen there is NO CHEMISTRY between him and NIna Dobrev, while there is lots of that between Nina and Ian. So it is bothersome to watch a show which suffers from a miscast Stefan, who should have been a fiery hot guy, not this cold fish...

Aww, I'd rather have talked about Phoebe Tonkin's legs, beautifully displayed towards the end of this episode. She should have been Miss Mystic Falls. April Young is, to quote a PRETTY LITTLE LIARS episode I've recently watched, "not pageant material" and that's glaringly obvious.

Ideas on paper do not always reflect in the casting.
