The Last Day, Part 1 of 2 - The Ladies

Episode Synopsis: Elena resigns herself to death at the hands of Klaus in order for Klaus to be killed by Bonnie and the others. Elijah suggests using a resurrection elixir, but Damon puts the kebosh on it and instead FORCES ELENA TO DRINK HIS BLOOD so that she'll go vamp if Klaus kills her. Elena and Stefan commune with nature in order to prepare for the coming sacrifice. Tyler and Jules show up to check on Tyler's mom, and Tyler and Caroline end up being captured for the sacrifice. Damon meddles with Klaus' master plan, Luka's sister shows up as Klaus' witch of choice, and somewhere in there JENNA GETS VAMPED. Oops.

Let's start with our lovely Caroline. She wears the best jacket of the episode (as deemed by Amanda in the mini-recap) which is a little white number with a little ruffle to it in back and at the waist. Black buttons make it chic and she works it. However, her normally outstanding coiffure is somewhat lacking this time around -- maybe she forgot, with all the chaos of the upcoming sacrifice?

However, her delicate earrings and perfect lashes make up for it. Sort of.

I gotta give Jenna some props for keeping her cool (more or less) and having great hair this episode. Also, this jacket's asymmetrical zipper is cute. Sorry you end up getting vamped, Jenna... Maybe your wardrobe will improve?

When Jules shows up to retrieve Tyler from the hospital where his mom is recovering, she's wearing -- STOP THE PRESSES!!! -- a denim jacket. Her hair looks great, but her role in this episode is pretty minor. Oh, Jules. You and your denim.

Katherine is rocking an uber sexy look this episode. It's some kinda black silk blouse with pirate sleeves over a teal top with a pleated bodice for maximum cleavage. And her hair is ferosh.

Rrrawwrrrr!!

Klaus' chosen witch happens to be Luka's sister. She looks a LOT like him, except, you know, a girl. But she's sultry as all get out -- she even sets ROCKS on fire.

Girlfriend has great hair and knows how to accessorize with drapey, multi-chain necklaces, tribal earrings, and a sweet brass tree bangle.

Oh, and did I mention? A leather jacket!

Elena honestly has amazing hair. Seriously. Also, she sports a dark brown leather jacket and a dark orchid colored shirt this week... a less powerful, more feminine alternative to her usual crimsons and maroons perhaps?

The Last Day, Part 2 of 2 - The Guys

For the most part, the gentlemen (if some of them can even be called that) of TVD are pretty standard: dark and broody. Stefan's the one who wears the most semblance of color, really. 

An olive shirt, how intriguing!

I do like this blue combo he has during his and Elena's nature walk. It's reassuring somehow. It also makes his hair look lighter. Mmm. His hair.

Good ol' Damon, though, stays in black for the whole episode. Classic jacket.

When Klaus shows up at the bar to politely threaten Damon and Alaric, he has a glimpse of red under a dark jacket, but for the most part, looks pretty ominous. Although his short haircut is nice, no?

Caroline's boyfriend, Matt, shows up to Damon's rescue wearing his uniform blue t-shirt from the Grill and...black corduroy maybe? I don't know what to make of him, honestly. He is confused about life, and confusion sometimes leads to betrayal. If he loves Caro, he needs to get his act together. All I'm saying is why date that...

...when you could date THIS!? Tyler has some color, he's rocking the neutrals and his jacket isn't corduroy. It's leather. A chic beige, no less. And his hair? Boom. Okay? BOOM. Tyler is fierce. And he's loyal. He came back to make sure his mom was ok even though the other wolves told him not to. ...I'm just saying.

Mini Recap: The Last Day

Three things you need to know about this episode: Damon force-fed Elena blood so that she'll vamp out if she dies, he was bitten by a werewolf, and Jenna is now a vampire. 

Best Outfit
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but: there were clothes in this episode? I remember Elijah's very dapper suit in the begining, but then Damon shoved his wrist in Elena's mouth and I got a little distracted.

Jacket of the Week
Caroline's white jacket was cute - I hope it survives the full moon.

Damon Quote of the Week
"Imagine how much fun that will be, competing with Elena for Stefan's love for like, I don't know, ever."

Understatment of the Millenia
"You're going to screw it up, aren't you?" Alaric to Damon, re: Klaus's ritual
