With any teen show comes sporadic and sometimes unhealthy parenting moments, and The Vampire Diaries is no exception. This week, we’re ranking the parents of Mystic Falls from best to worst. While choosing the best parent was easy, picking the worst is a challenge with so many contenders. We’ve got Abby, who abandoned Bonnie twice; Kelly, who made out with Tyler at a Founders Party; Bill, who tortured Caroline; and Mayor Lockwood, who encourages fights in parking lots. We also briefly discuss Giuseppe Salvatore and Mikael, but they’re so bad they didn’t even make the official list. Tune in to this week’s episode to find out who we crown as the Official Rippah Girls' Worst Parent.

Note: We are officially breaking for the holidays so this is our last episode this year. Stay tuned for 2025!

Now that we’ve finished the finale, we of course have to recap everything that happened in Season 3! This week, we’re looking back at the main characters’s highs and lows of the season, all of the great villains, and what some of the side characters were up to. We’re also going to talk about some of our personal faves, like best performances, favorite episode, and favorite Delena and Stelena moments. We also talk about what we would do differently if we wrote Season 3, even though this was almost a perfect season of television. Finally, we wrap up Season 3 like we wrap up every episode and pick the best outfits, quotes, and songs and the most out of pocket moments from the whole season.

After losing all of her blood and hitting her head, Elena starts reminiscing about happier times when her parents and Aunt Jenna were still alive (which unfortunately is also when she was still dating Matt - at least some things have gotten better). While on the mission to dump Klaus's body in the Atlantic, Stefan gets called back to Mystic Falls to protect Elena after her injury. Meanwhile, Damon gets stuck hiding the body in a storage unit, where he of course runs into Evil-laric. Back in Mystic Falls, Caroline and Tyler prepare to leave town so the Council doesn't come for them. And to protect everyone she loves, Bonnie goes rogue with her magic but Rebekah has the same idea and does what she can to stop Alaric.
