"I Carry Your Heart with Me" is one of the better episodes of this season - not without its fair amount of cringe though. In this week's flash forward we see Damon stop by Alaric (and his kids!) to presumably reunite with his old friend and try to defuse this future crisis that we don't know much about yet. A cool scene nonetheless. Back in present time, Damon finds Oscar dead and has to cancel the trade for Elena's coffin. This has several consequences. Mary Louise and Nora decide to go on a killing spree at a Halloween party which really just leads to awkward heretic drama that we don't really care for at this point. It does however give 'some' character development. Damon, determined to get Elena's coffin back, resurrects Oscar with help from Bonnie and the Phoenix stone. Oscar escapes and goes on a killing spree for more human blood before being captured and returned to Lily. This episode had a rough start but the Damon/Oscar scenes were definitely entertaining to watch. They really brought back the horror aspect of this show and the cliffhanger made me excited to see what happens next. My vote is 8/10
