well, it's not that I want it ASAP, but you can make comments and offer improvements for sure. or you can still do it, I don't mind :)

episode 5 continues some critical plot elements of episode 4 .. like we have 3-4 new characters, one of them is Brad's ex-gf or fiance Brenda, who turns out to know about the supernaturals. Thomas hints Anita that there's more going on on Earth than that humans are aware of, but he doesn't reveal her anything. So she knows there's something out there, but doesn't know much about it, or anything at all. Eventually Anita cannot handle the life on the run, so she decides to return home and surrender. Brad finds out and forces Anita's bus into an accident before it arrives to Mystic Falls. Anita is severely wounded and ends up in coma. Stefan declares he is Stefan Fell, a distant relative of Meredith. He makes a friend called Hugh in a council meeting. April is forced to tell Rudy (Bonnie's father, now mayor) about Stefan to stop sheriff from starting a vampire hunt. April's witch friend Ilyyria is renamed Cassie.

In episode 5, I have planned that
 * The team learns about Brad's involvement in Anita's accident, but decide to keep it from her (should she ever wake up) not to upset her. But she doesn't wake up (yet, in this episode).
 * It is indicated that April still has deep and genuine feelings for Thomas, but doesn't act on them because of her crusade.
 * While on a date with Carla, sheriff is forced to take action about something, which she enjoys watching him do it (not in a sadistic pleasure way, more like "my man, a hero" way lol). They grow closer romantically throughout the episode.
 * Rudy is further involved in the team's works and stuff.
 * April heads to the other town to visit Anita and Thomas.
 * Stefan, who is left behind because he doesn't have a daylight ring, is summoned by the police to investigate a crime scene. He reveals he has photodermatitis (allergy to sunlight), so he has to stay in shadows. Sheriff jokes about if he has allergy to vervain too. Soon they figure out the crime and Sheriff ends up appreciating Stefan.
 * Brenda finds out about Stefan (somehow - don't ask), and in a panic state trying to stop her, Brad accidentally kills her. As he is freaking out, Stefan is forced to compel him to forget about it, and Brenda conveniently "leaves for vacation".
 * ending TBD.

from there, you can work your ideas for ep6, but there's no need for rush :) ep5 needs to be completed and reviewed first :)

btw Guardians in SD have no superpowers. As I explained in the page, they are just 5 ordinary people tasked with guarding 5 separate keys to a vault. The guardians and the power in the vault will be a recurring plot point throughout the entire series.

well, my Davina spin-off (now named The Awakening) is going to continue the events of Vampire Diaries and The Originals, but it won't take Legacies canon because I'm not gonna watch that show except maybe when it ends.. it takes place in the same universe, and goes full on with the crazy :D there are mermaids, demigods, aliens, time travel; "what if"s, AND occasional crossovers with various tv shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Heroes, Oliver Twist, you name it); anything you can think of :D

I haven't finished TO yet .. I don't even know which episode I last watched, so thank you for a spoiler-free review :) I've been wanting to binge the entire TVD&TO series from the start, but there's little time between all kinds of stuff.. But hearing about plotholes doesn't really surprise me.. it's kind of like a defining trait of TVD at this moment :)

writing aside, I'm slammed .. we had eid holiday, which I combined with my annual leave, but instead of a proper holiday, mom opted for travel. so I returned even more tired than before, with shitload of work to catch up on.. god help me with that.. but aside from that, I guess I'm good :) at least writing helps get my mind off of things..
