The Vampire Diaries | Season 7 Episode 18 - "One Way or Another"


Spoiler Alert!

I think I must start this post with How amazing have been this last couple of episodes! Seriously, this last 2 episodes (this one and the previous one) might be some of the best episodes of the series, which might be a good or a bad thing, since we are almost sure that Season 8 will be TVD's last season.
Yeah, that's right, there's a rumor around that Season 8 will be the last one, because Ian said that he was leaving TVD next season. We still don't know if it will be the end of the series, but that's more likely what's going to happen... Still, let's have hope and, besides, that's not what I'm here to talk about, I'm here to talk about this amazing episode, so let's get on to it!
This episode was the return of Dalaric, which I really missed!
Damon is determined to get Stefan back to his own body so he 'convinces' Alaric to go with him to Memphis to get Ambrose so Valerie can switch Stefan to his actual body and, consequently, put Ambrose in Marty's body.
Let's just say that Alaric is not really happy to be back to this 'supernatural life' and he makes it really clear to Damon. He also tells Damon what has been his life in this last three years, makes us, the fans, also aware of what happened.
As you can imagine, Ambrose doesn't really want to give up on his new body so he tries to make a deal with Damon, he will give Stefan's body and put himself in another vampire's body if Damon killed Rayna. So, that's what Damon does, he goes after Rayna so he can kill her (with Alaric's help, of course). What they don't know is that Enzo is also after Rayna and he ends up getting her first, and he's not willing to give her up.
Meanwhile, Bonnie is back to the picture!
In this episode we finally find out (more) about Bonnie's story, about what happened to her in this last 3 years.
So, it seems like The Armory got her but, somehow, Enzo and her fell in love, so Enzo got to free her and, to keep her safe, Bonnie checked herself in a mental institution, while Enzo kept stealing those Armory pills for her to take so The Armory couldn't do a tracking spell on her.
What they found out in the previous episodes, and we got to dig deeper into it in this episode, is that those pills not just make Bonnie not being able to access her magic, but also make her sick, just like Mary Louise was in a few episodes ago.
That's why Enzo is after Rayna, to get the effect of those pills reverse. Unfortunatelly, Rayna doesn't know anything about that, which makes us, and everyone else, think that might not be a cure for them.
We also find out in this episode that Bonnie have been changing the pills of another patient in the mental institution to sugar pills. She ends up finding out about that and we end up finding out that, that patient, called Virginia, is part of the St. John familly (Enzo's family) and that her sister is the one in charge of The Armory.
Later in the episode we also find out that they want Bonnie because there's a Volt in Armory's basemant that was locked by a Bennet witch and only a Bennet witch can un-do the spell. What we didn't find out was what is inside that volt, which I'm dying to know.
And, of course, with such a big Bonnie storyline, we had to have a few Bonenzo moments, which was pretty nice!
Well, back to the main storyline of the episode...
Ambrose was not that happy about the fact that Damon didn't get to kill Rayna, so he kills everyone in that fraternity party and then goes after Stefan.
Damon and Alaric got just in time to save Stefan and Valerie ended up doing the spell and everything ended up 'fine'... Kind of.
There was a moment when Valerie was doind the 'switch' spell when she got inside Stefan's head and I really thought she was going to die, and I was pretty sad about it, because I was really starting to like their relationship. She ended up not dying but she left and left Stefan all alone, which was pretty sad to me as well.
And that was basically how the episode ended. I don't really remember what the previous for next showed but I'm really excited to know more about The Armory storyline, because, to be honest, that Rayna storyline is starting to be pretty boring.
Anyways... Tell me your thoughts about this episode in the comments (or in any of my social media - I'm @danixinhahhh in pretty much everywhere) and give me your predictions about the next few episodes, because we are really close to the end of Season 7.
Love,
Daniela.
