The Vampire Diaries. Season 3, Episode 19: "Heart of Darkness"

Whew. I can barely breathe with that kiss.

Clearly, this episode is for all Damon-Elena fans out there. If you're not a fan of the pair, then this should sway you to root for them to end up together... until the next Stefan-Elena moment. It's kind of nice to see Rose again, but she wasn't really all that helpful in finding out who our hero vampires descended from. Jeremy was a lot of help, even though I didn't really envision his return that way. He's grown soft and was totally unsuspecting of Kol. Yes, the Originals know what they're up to with the vampire lines and Alaric. And speaking of, Alaric's alter ego might have just made an alliance with Esther... in the form of Rebekah. Klaus didn't even notice her sister was different, just like he doesn't know Tyler is back in town. Our wolf-turned-hybrid is kind of territorial now; he knows our Original hybrid fancies our Vampire Barbie.

Exciting isn't it? But I think the photos below really took over the whole episode.
