Matt donovan tvd5/29/2023 ![]() Their vampire stories have always had tragedy embedded into their hearts and I can’t think of one reason any of them would remain bloodsuckers if each human love had an expiration date. Stefan is the example with how becoming human prior to the ending climax will work for the main cast, a prelude to the idea that everyone should be human by this series end. If some of Elena’s blood can cure one vampire, imagine what a whole 10 pints could do to the remaining cast. Not a bad turn out tonight, better than average, but quite less impacting than last week. We have zero information on his resurgence, but one can fathom it has to do with the afterlife and its ever-shifting temporal mechanics and dimensional weirdness. TVD is properly escalating the sense of dread and continues to throw in key surprises in the name of old villains and heroes, this time from the crazy witch-man himself, headless Kai. Bonnie’s grief is overshadowed by a sense that she can still reach Enzo in the afterlife, but right not it’s playing very much on the backend to Stefan’s newfound humanity and Matt’s elevated importance with the key to killing Cade. Human Stefan and actually dead Enzo, who would have thought they’d stick with their plan after one episode? This may be a long con considering the finality of the situation, but suffice it to say, tonight’s episode slightly repaired some bridges while keeping the core of loss intact. Stefan goes to Bonnie’s house to apologize about Enzo, but is subdued by a hooded figure. Kai suddenly appears relaying a different set of plans. Later at night, Damon returns to Alaric and shows him in the caves that a dagger forged from Cade’s ashes is what will destroy the devil. Bonnie reunites with her estranged mother and discovers she may have a connection to Enzo still, but her mother burns Enzo’s body believing Bonnie was suffering a horrific spell. ![]() Damon steals the book and returns it to Cade as Stefan and Caroline save the woman. Within that hypnosis, Matt discovers are the sirens were trapped after his ancestor and a Bennett witch helped keep Mystic Falls from being destroyed by the bell that Cade manipulated for his own dark purpose. Damon arrives at the armory where Alaric and Dorian help Matt reach into the past through hypnosis and the Donavon necklace that links him to his ancestor. Meanwhile, Damon is told by Cade to retrieve Matt’s ancestor’s journal or lose Stefan at midnight. ![]() Caroline finds him at a precinct and compels the police to release him as they search for the wounded woman Stefan used to switch deeds on the house. He's crazy sheriff Matt Donovan.Now human, Stefan flees after killing Enzo but is later pulled over and arrested under suspicion of murder. We see him in the future a little more frazzled and a little out of his mind from the vampires. Roerig left viewers with a huge tease adding, "He's going a bit insane at this point. It's about keeping the peace, and if the peace can't be met, then there's gonna be hell to pay, and I think their friendship will be on the sacrificial altar if things don't work out," Davis said. "You'll see Matt Donovan draw a line and Alaric draw a line, and they know where they stand. Matthew Davis, who plays Alaric, elaborated on this complex friend and antagonist dynamic between his character and sheriff Donovan. He says very clearly in an early episode, 'If I get so much as a wind of your kids causing any trouble, I will come for them.' So he's both friend and antagonist at the same time," Plec said. ![]() So that puts him continually at odds with Alaric and the kids at the school. ![]() His singular goal is to keep the supernatural business on the DL, if not out of Mystic Falls, and to protect the town. "For the first time, Matt Donovan isn't torn by a commitment to protecting his best friends against other people in their peer group. ![]()
