Ten decades in the past right now, the legendary “Masquerade” episode of Vampire Diaries aired.
It was with no a question 1 of the defining episodes of the time, perhaps even the collection as a entire.
As supporters will recall, “Masquerade” confirmed Tyler (Michael Trevino) triggering the werewolf curse, Katherine (Nina Dobrev) getting trapped in the tomb and Elena (once more, Nina Dobrev) breaking up with Stefan (Paul Wesley) for the first—but not the last—time. It established the stage for the seasons to occur and, far more importantly, cemented fan hatred for Katherine.
But the introduction of Katherine’s tomb, werewolves and Stefan and Elena’s on-once more, off-yet again relationship only produced more queries for viewers. Specifically, what the f–k is going on?
Who would’ve predicted that there would be 6 additional seasons of certainly outlandish, magical antics? Not to neglect, the generation of two spin-off shows, The Originals and Legacies.
And while it can be quick to adore the display itself—after all, who isn’t going to like a superior debate arguing the merits of Workforce Stefan or Crew Damon (Ian Somerhalder)—the unanswered queries continue to haunt us.
