Rayna is a supernaturally blessed vampire huntress who was once compelled by Julian to kill her own father, a hunter belonging to one among The Five, using the Phoenix sword as her weapon.

Back in 1903, hell bent on seeking revenge, she impaled Beau and staked Julian into the Phoenix hell-stone. She has now released herself and retrieved her sword from Bonnie and Damon.

Caroline's fast desiccation calls for an early C section delivery which is aided by the Heretics and later Bonnie.

Suddenly, Beau's wound reopens and he is killed and burnt by Rayna. Nora and Mary Louise run for their lives.

Meanwhile, Valerie and Stefan try easing the delivery (the twins were reluctant to come out thus leave their constant source of magic). Bonnie, Alaric and Valerie watch as Caroline successfully gives birth to the twins.

Damon distracted and attempting to fight Rayna is almost staked, but Stefan comes to the rescue. Stefan is marked by the sword forcing him to run from her.

Enzo informs Damon that Elena is alive and protected by his men and that her death was a hallucination. Relieved, Damon promises Stefan that he will make things right now that life has offered him a second chance.

Alaric names the twins Josie in honor of their mom, and Elizabeth, in honor of Caroline's mom.

Flash forward: Caroline and the twins who call her mummy are driving away to New Orleans. She needs to meet a friend.

Red John and the Visualize cult seem to be connected to a 25-year-old triple homicide at a barn on Elliston Farm.

Lisbon's ten-year anniversary with the CBI is celebrated and she is offered a job outside of CBI by Ray Haffner (Reed Diamond) who is starting his own security firm. She declines and chooses to stay, moreover, after learning that Haffner is a member of Visualize, and possibly worked at Elliston Farm where Red John painted his first smiley face.

The team talk to Jason Cooper from Visualize and identify the dead as Lester Bradovich, Talbot and Cherney - all members from the 1980s.

An ex-member and missionary, Father DiBuono tells them that Bradovich was under pressure from Visualize to turn the farm into a success and was pushing workers hard. There were rumours that Bradovich was giving them drugs which was against Visualize policy. He recognises the Red John smiley face and tells Jane that Talbot told him "a kid" at the farm painted it which helps Jane determine an age range for Red John.

Jane cracks the murder case by tricking the killer into confessing but she only shot Bradovich and the other two dead bodies were already there leading the team to believe it was Red John who killed the others.

Based on the appearance of the first smiley face and facts from the case, Patrick Jane narrows down his Red John suspect list to 408 names, also adding Haffner.

Schedule January 5-9

Hello, hello. Happy New Year. You guys, after I posted the message that I needed some time off, I turned off all my notifications and having logged in. At all. I was being a giant coward about it because I thought you were all going to be mad at me. And while, I did have a fair share of cancelations (totally justified), most of you were so lovely, sweet, and supportive. And I'm very grateful for it.

So, as I've had some time to think, I've mad some decisions regarding this page.First off, both Novel and Book Stack are getting the episodes at the same time. I cannot tell you how difficult it is for me to remember to go back on certain days and give access to Novel. I know it's stupid, but one of my New Years resolutions is to try to make things easier on myself. Because of this, Book Stack is now being dropped to $12/month. Book Stack also gives you access to the exclusive Book Stack show, which is currently, Ginny & Georgia. Book Stack will also get two movies a month and drunk rewatches (we're due for one, aren't we?). I'll put up a poll at the beginning of the month (which I'll be doing in a couple of days) and we can vote on what movies we want to watch- the top two highest in the poll will be the winners for the month. Drop your suggestions in the comments.

The other thing that I need to do, is to stop trying to do 7 or 8 reactions a day. It's just too much for me. I think 5 a day is where I feel best. Now, what does this mean for you guys? Not a whole lot. I basically means that the reactions will come out later in the day. I like to have my reactions go up at noon, two, three, four, and five (it's a five day week). So, things will probably go up between 5-8pm now. I'm no longer going to force myself to try to be several days ahead.

Next, I don't have a Vimeo plan. (Although, if I'm not doing 7-8 reactions a day, I might be able to tackle it). For the time being, I'm basically just going to ignore it. Mostly, because I don't have a plan to deal with it. I'm taking down all the stuff that advertises stuff from Vimeo, so hopefully, new subscribers don't join for stuff I don't have access to right now. If you joined in the last two months or so and we haven't previously discussed it, contact me (my notifications are back on now) and we'll work something out.

Finally, whenever the next show ends, I'd like to replace it with a show that's 30 minutes or less. Having one quick show on the schedule every few days, will help, I think. We've got a while until we're there though. I've just spent a lot of time the last few weeks brainstorming how I could make things easier on myself without taking too much away from you guys.

Other things to note: 9-1-1 S9 comes back next week. I will not be starting this until January 16. It will then come out every Friday. This is for Novel and above. Also, I told one of you (I'm sorry I don't remember who!) that I would finish up Stranger Things. It is officially over now. And, while there are only 8 episodes is S5, they are long episodes. So, I am going to finish this. But, I'm not going to drive myself crazy. That said, I will start S5 on January 23 and it will come out every Friday for 8 weeks, also for Novel and above.

Business out of the way, I hope everyone is having a good start to their New Year. I've got a handful of resolutions, if you're curious.

  • Find ways to make things easier on myself.

  • Lose 100 pounds.

  • Write a first draft of a novel I feel halfway decent about.

  • Read 100 books (I only managed 60 last year).

  • Limit reddit to 20 minutes a day (I'm such a reddit whore. If unchecked, I could be on there for hours 😳).

  • Bring more whimsy, romance, and fun into my life.

Did any of you make resolutions? I never did when I was younger, but the older I get, the more I find myself wanting to.

Well, Dan and I are on our way out to grab a few last minute items before football starts (we went to Lidl late Friday night and there was basically no produce).

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday loves! See you tomorrow!

I Need Some Time Off

Hello, hello.

This is the part of the year where you’re unhappy with me. I really, really need a break you guys. I had such grand plans to get so far ahead by the end the of year, but I’m just barely treading water. And I know this is very VERY last minute, but, as a Christmas present to myself, I’m going to take the rest of the year off.

I’m sure this is not what you want to hear, and I’m sorry to say it, but I’m just so tired (I couldn’t even mange to post a schedule last week- miraculously, I think everything came out properly, but I couldn’t handle doing one more thing last week). And I hate opening my email because I’m so afraid one of you are going to be telling me I forgot something, or messed something up, or asking about Vimeo (which was also supposed to be fixed by the end of the year, but that’s not happening, apparently) and I just don’t have the time (or energy, to be honest) to fix. Which means I’m not really checking my email and I’m missing a ton of stuff. It’s really just a mess over here. Plus, my apartment is a disaster, I haven’t bought a single Christmas gift, and all I want to do is lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. (That can’t be healthy, right?)

So, for those reasons (and several others) I’m taking two weeks off. I will be back on January 5 to pick up where we left off. I’m sorry if this makes you sad (totally understand if you want to cancel, no hard feelings), but hopefully, when I’m back, I’ll be fully rested (with a life is in better shape) and excited to be back at it.

I hope you guys have a lovely holiday season.

At the gala dinner, Devon accuses Michaela of running a cult and being involved in Jocelyn's death—only to learn Jocelyn is alive, living in seclusion after a failed plastic surgery.

Peter tells Michaela he wants a divorce and confesses to feeling uninspired, resenting their childlessness, and fearing Michaela's collection of evidence of his affairs—meant to protect her under the prenuptial agreement.

He begins a relationship with Simone and asks Jose to escort Michaela out.

Devon confronts Simone about her involvement with Peter. Simone invites her to stay at the estate with Bruce, but she declines.

After waking up, Simone finds herself in yet another argument with Devon, during which Devon reveals that since Simone went to college, she has struggled with alcoholism and has been arrested twice for DUI.

Meanwhile, Michaela discovers that the chocolate Peter gave her, supposedly from Tokyo, was not authentic, prompting her to suspect he might be cheating on her.

She sends Simone to spy on him, but Peter catches her and admits he had secretly traveled to meet his grandson for the first time. He kept this from Michaela because of her strained relationship with his children. After the confession, he tries to kiss Simone, but she recoils.

Throughout the day, Simone tries repeatedly to reach Ethan, to no avail.
