Guess what all! I am writing this post from Los Angeles, California! That's right :) I just moved here this week from a little ole' town in Michigan and will be starting my internship today in West Hollywood. I am this much closer to realizing one of my many dreams - see my post about this dream here :) The only sad thing about it, is that now the East Coast gets to see my shows three hours before me...so I must BEWARE OF TWITTER SPOILERS!

After It Airs (TVD 10/6)

The Vampire Diaries
Season 3 Episode 4 - Disturbing Behavior

Summary (courtesy of The CW Network):
Still in Chicago, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) uses Gloria (guest star Charmin Lee), a witch he knew long ago, to help him track down missing information that will explain why his plan isn't working. Gloria's spells reveal intriguing glimpses of the truth, but she soon realizes she needs Stefan's (Paul Wesley) knowledge to complete the puzzle. When Stefan suddenly finds himself in danger, help comes from a surprising ally. Back in Mystic Falls, a frustrating new enemy pushes Damon (Ian Somerhalder) over the brink and he lashes out in a way that will have lasting consequences. Caroline (Candice Accola) struggles with her own emotional issues, even as she tries to help Elena (Nina Dobrev) face her feelings. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) makes a brief but disturbing breakthrough with one of his ghostly visitors, leaving him more confused than ever. Finally, Bonnie (Kat Graham) has a strange encounter that will affect everyone. Matt Davis also stars. Wendey Stanzler directed the episode written by Brian Young.

My Side Note: 
I have to admit that I was never much of a werewolf fan, especially when there were vampires to be had. May I just say that Tyler Lockwood has changed that. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Stefan, but since last season, I can't get enough Tyler. Especially when he is interacting with Caroline. He is just the cutest thing! Though he wasn't in this episode very much, he still managed to be hot and sexy in under three minutes of screen time. And speaking of Caroline, can I just say she is probably my favoritest character on the show. Seriously Candice Accola is phenomenal in this role. All that being said, you can probably sense that I am definitely a "Forwood" fan ;)

Supernatural
Season 7 Episode 2 - Hello, Cruel World

Summary (courtesy of The CW Network):

Heart-wrenching Moment: When Dean grabs Castiel's trench coat out of the water :(
