The AMPire Diaries

The AMPire Diaries Episode 20: “Know Thy Enemy” | “The Last Dance” 🎵Oh, where oh where can my baby be?🎵 AMPies! It is time to move along on this Vampire Diaries rewatch-slash-first-time watch (and mostly spoiler-free) combination podcast, so this week, we’re talking “Know Thy Enemy” (Season 2, Episode 17) and “The Last Dance” (Season 2, Episode 18). Which means we’ve finally met Klaus. Sort of. It’s a whole thing. As is the big mistake—HUGE—Morgan makes during this episode. What are we talking this week? Let’s see: - A little bit of Pearl Jam, as a treat. (For the whole meal, listen to this week’s b-b-b-bonus clip.) - Alaric!Klaus, aka the aforementioned “a whole thing.” - Jill’s current frustrations at this point in Season 2—and it’s not the flashbacks and lack of Tyler. - The need for a Jenna/Matt support group. - John Gilbert: Cuck. - Our transparent attempt to court fans of The L-Word. - FINALLY, THE MOONSTONE IN THE SOAP DISH - The rising supremacy of Team Caroline/Stefan (in LaToya’s mind). Maddox, the show’s first white witch. - Nina Dobrev's sneaky Canadian accent. - Carol Lockwood and Liz Forbes’ worst town cover-up ever yet. - Old. Witch. House. - The Fast & Furious franchise. - The long-awaited reveal of "The Gilbert Charm." - A new podcast game called "The Klaus I Know." - The Dana (and Chad!) Diaries. - AMC original series. - The feature film Jackie. (Justice for Jackie!) - That time Stefan slapped Jeremy. - TOUT. “HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT” (“Know Thy Enemy”) “DANCING WITH DANGER” (“The Last Dance”) The more AMPED logline this time around? Much like the episode itself, gotta say, the logline for “The Last Dance” is far more AMPED than the one for “Know Thy Enemy.” Plus: puns!
