    Great Episode

    Sheila gives the location of Bonnie to Stefan and he rescues Elena and Bonnie from Ben. Meanwhile, Anna is invited to go to the Duke's party by Jeremy while she is walking to meet Damon trying to make an agreement with him to open the tomb. Stefan convinces Sheila and Bonnie to help Damon to release Katherine from the tomb, and the witches accept the deal. When Damon enters the tomb, he discovers that Katherine is not there. Anna rescues her mother and discloses a secret about Katherine to Damon.

    "Fool Me Once" is a great episode of "The Vampire Diaries", maybe the best so far. The revelation of the fate of Katherine to Damon will probably affect him somehow. I will miss Sheila, one of the best characters of this series. What is the bond between Isabel and Katherine? Fortunately I have the boxes of the four season of this good show. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Fool Me Once"

    What's in the tomb?

    Fantastic episode with everyone coming together to break into the tomb to free Katherine and what a surprise, a fantastic episode except for the matt Caroline Tyler moments but still like their characters

    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The first episode in which the term "doppelgänger" is mentioned: "You really are Katherine's doppelgänger" (Anna to Elena).
    • Goofs
      In the tomb, Stefan pulls Anna off Elena and bodily throws her aside. But Anna is an older vampire than Stefan, and she feeds on human blood where he feeds on animal blood. This means she is much stronger than him, and he should not have been able to easily overpower her.
    • Quotes

      Damon Salvatore: [to Elena] I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun. I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it.
