Trivia
Death and the Maiden is a motif in Renaissance art, starting from the painting Death and the Maiden (Der Tod und das Mädchen) by Hans Baldung Grien (1517). The title has since been used in, among other things, music, film (Roman Polanski) and literature.

Goofs
When Elena passes a coffee to Stefan in bed, sunlight from the window shines through the glass mug, showing a pale red liquid, not coffee.

Quotes
Tessa: [to Damon] So you live in this ancient giant mansion with two doppelgangers that are destined to end up together. I'm sure there's a sitcom in there somewhere.

10 on 10 for that opening sequence by Paul Wesley

Loved it ... just loved the way they made Paul Wesley (Stefan/Silas) vent out his emotions in that first scene at the bus stop. It was comical and yet relatable... I could easily say it was one of the best acts he pulled off in the series till now.
