‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 7, episode 18 preview: ‘One Way or Another’
If you started humming a certain song in your head after learning that above was the title for Friday night’s new episode of “The Vampire Diaries,” we have one response: It’s hard to blame you! It feels at times like this show deliberately likes to throw earworm titles out there just for the sake of continuing to have us guessing.
Really, the nature of “One Way or Another” is one of determination, as Damon is going to try to prove to both his brother Stefan and possibly himself that he can be that hero, and the guy to make things better. At a certain point, we imagine that he does not want to feel like is the persistent screw-up anymore, and actually have the respect of his sibling for a change. It’s a rare phenomenon for him, but their ever-shifting relationship has been rather enjoyable to watch. It’s dysfunctional, and yet at the same time fascinating.
Now, let’s go ahead and bring you the synopsis, which also shows you more of what Bonnie and Enzo are going to be up to (which is nice, given that they have not had a lot to do lately):
“Determined to capture an escaped vampire named Ambrose, who may be the key to getting Stefan (Paul Wesley) back safely, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) heads to Memphis with Alaric (Matt Davis) in tow. However, reluctant to step back into his former vampire hunting ways, Alaric makes his unwillingness to participate clear, while revealing the truth about the past three Damon-less years of his life. Meanwhile, in the psych ward, Bonnie (Kat Graham) meets a young woman named Virginia (guest star Aisha Duran), who provides her with some valuable information about why The Armory may be after her. Finally, Enzo (Michael Malarkey) takes matters into his own hands when he learns some devastating news from Rayna (guest star Leslie-Anne Huff).”
