Doppelgängers: A Vampire Diaries Podcast

Yes Cami has been bitten, but hey there’s always a loophole so this should be light work! The whole team disperse to get answers, Davina to Rousseau’s where Lucien is partying, Vincent and Marcel to Cami’s apartment to collect a potential cure, and Hayley and Elijah to the bayou to fetch the magical baby. Freya works with her herbs to help Cami while Klaus gives er a lovely dream day, not loving the omen there! After Kol failed to leave town he decides to take drastic measures, but fails spectacularly. With Cami’s fate decided by the end of the episode, we should be done with drama, and yet we face another tough blow…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!See y'all next year!

It’s NOLA Music Days, and Lucien takes the occasion to make some big moves. He “proposes” to Aurora with serum, then kidnaps Klaus to lure out Elijah. Unfortunately for Lucien, a number of things are working against him - Aurora doesn’t want him, and both Klaus and Elijah have shooters! Meanwhile at St James Infirmary, Kol gets worse and attempts to fix the hex. We end the episode with another bite from Lucien spelling danger for one of our main characters. Plus, Stephanie gets a shout out!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

Lucien is now officially a villain, so he takes a trip to a familiar place to reveal the truth of the beast perhaps! Elijah and Finn follow him, and Elijah learns empathy for his boring brother while they run into a familiar face that they are not thrilled to see. Davina and Kol help track down Freya, revealing some troubling news about Kol. Klaus and Hayley continue their investigation of Kingmaker, and find one office building has some surprising information which opens up a whole new type of lore. Finally, an unexpected death leads to a funeral, while we discover that someone else escaped their “grave”…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

The white oak bullet is back in play, in the possession of a new character with a bump-it. Her first order of business? A high-tech auction! Former computer science minor Josh leads a crack team to get the bullet back. Meanwhile, the Mikaelsons hole up at the compound until the white oak is retrieved - joined by Davina and Lucien. Davina uses the opportunity to get revenge on Finn, and Lucien uses the opportunity to flirt with Freya (and maybe even something more nefarious). The Mikaelsons fight over whether to destroy the white oak or use it for assisted suicide - an age-old question. Elsewhere, Klaus, Hayley, and Hope are on the run in wolf country, where they find evidence of an enemy right under their noses. We end the episode with a kidnapped Mikaelson and a witch hijacked by ancestors - uh-oh!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

With the sire link broken, Klaus returns to his favorite emotion: paranoia. But he may not be incorrect, when he sees an old enemy has already made their way to New Orleans. Cami sees the struggle Klaus is facing, and relates enough that she finds a way top address her paranoia in her own, incredibly reasonable, way. Meanwhile Hayley is also taking matters into her own hands quite quickly, with her own vengeance in mind. Elijah and Marcel deal with the Strix while Josh asks what we are all thinking, why? Finally, love is in the air for many, with an emotional Haylijah scene, the long awaited Kolvina reunion, a gift to Vincent from the ancestors, and a bonus, and yassified, resurrection…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

STEFAN SALVATORE HAS ARRIVED TO NEW ORLEANS!! While that is by far the biggest news of the week, it’s a busy week for all Mikaelsons and their orbit. Aya makes an alliance with Aurora for access to White Oak, and in return gives her access to a chamber de chasse with Tristan, Klaus, Elijah, a lot of chess pieces, and some lazy red herrings. We welcome Lucien back and say goodby to Aya, and even put Aurora in a wall. Davina finally attempts her multi-year goal of un-linking Klaus (despite the entirety of our heroes praying on your downfall). Davina stays winning when she finally brings Kol back. The only downside of this week? We have to see Rayna Cruz again and relive the Stefan debates of TVD season 7. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

With the white oak in play and in the hands of probably the worst person possible, the effort to sever the link to the sire lines becomes Aya’s top priority, while Aurora focuses on using the white oak ASAP. Aurora uses Freya to lure Klaus and Elijah to the woods for a shooting, and she has 7 bullets so shouldn’t be hard for someone smart! Davina, aligning with her new coven, works hard to figure out the binding agent for the delinking spell, despite Kol desperately trying to stop her. Meanwhile, we finally get Hayley’s assistance with Cami’s rocky transition, but even a fun day fighting at St. Anne’s can get derailed when all of a sudden people want to rip out Hayley’s heart… yet again.  Finally, Aya forms an… interesting alliance and we have some guesses about how that will go.Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!

Cami continues on her quest bother Klaus this week, by withholding the White Oak in pursuit of her dark objects. The only problem? Turns out there are actually a ton of people who want the White Oak, including our Sister of the Week, Madison, who is working for a familiar face. Meanwhile, the Strix are distracted by what is a essentially a game of capture the flag that is rigged by Elijah and Marcel, finally giving Marcel an army to lead New Orleans with again. Lastly, Davina continues to align herself with the Sisters, which doesn’t look positive from where we’re sitting. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

People are feeling the trickster vibes this week all around! Cami is adjusting to vampire life and mostly spending time being a menace and tricking everyone into thinking she gaf. Klaus tries to keep her safe but all that does is piss her the hell off. Josh returns to town (!!!) and is immediately taken advantage of by Davina. But we forgive because we have to focus on the fact the Davina is definitely getting taken advantage of worse. Aya enlists Elijah to help gather information about the mysterious weapon that can kill him, with the help of a blonde witch and pool. The Mikaelsons do figure out what the weapon is, but someone just barely beats them to it…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

God is so good this week as we get a Cami transition episode instead of a Cami funeral episode! And as if God isn’t good enough, Jackson dies and Tristan gets sent to the bottom of the ocean. Life is TOO good!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

Raw emotions this week due to a truly gaggy final scene… but before we get there, it’s a Christmas episode! And if we’ve learned anything, that should not be something to celebrate in TVDU. After rescuing Rebekah from the bottom of the ocean, she faces a side effect of being put down. Freya also finds herself in danger, but is protected by Jackson (who finally realizes that a werewolf pack and a family are similar things) and Finn (who is still safely in his necklace). Marcel, who does not take holidays off, works back channels and gets a new regent appointed, much to Tristan’s chagrin. Finally, a couple Mikaelsons decide to take the prophecy into their own hands, while another Mikaelson finds that they can’t quite hold on to happiness. Oh also, Aurora is a bitch!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

Everybody’s a hostage this week! Aurora holds Cami hostage in St Anne’s, where they discuss Klaus, beating men up, and bipolar disorder. Aurora realizes her worst fear may be coming true - Klaus don’t want her! Klaus teams up with Lucien to find Cami, but they quickly split off once it becomes clear that Klaus is concerned about Cami, but Lucien is more concerned about Aurora. Meanwhile at the compound, Tristan is held hostage and tortured for the longitude of Rebekah’s coffin. Marcel plays double agent and helps to free Tristan for the Strix, but keeps his loyalties to the Mikaelsons clear. Hayley also finally articulates her loyalties to the Mikaelsons when Mary arrives to guilt trip Hayley to the bayou. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

It’s Thanksgiving! Cami is spending it kidnapped, though not for long, and Jackson is spending it alone waiting Hayley to get back from the main dinner at the Mikaelson compound. Lucien, Tristan, and Aurora are invited over to blow up their secret alliance and get answers about Rebekah. Hayley and Freya torture Aurora for answers, but she is also tortured in a different way when she hears mention of Cami. Klaus questions Tristan, who tries to convince Klaus to follow his strategy to avoid the prophecy. Elijah questions Lucien, who realizes his current alliance may not be serving him. One thing becomes clear this week, the prophecy is very much moving along…

Many mistakes are made this week, some more beautiful than others. We check in with Rebekah, who is in Morocco and continuing to fail in her quest to bring Kol back to life, while still finding time to potentially fulfill 1/3 of the prophecy. Klaus spends the day with Aurora and pretty clearly is not lead by logic. Hayley is tailed by the scariest possible villain (a consultant), but is able to capture and question him with Marcel’s help. Elsewhere, Cami and Will Kinney are kidnapped by Lucien and subjected to brunch, a scavenger hunt, and psychological compulsion. Plus, a new weapon is revealed! Finally, we learn why Tristan, Lucien, and Aurora want revenge on the Mikaelsons - it all goes back to a goofy compulsion. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

With her arrival to New Orleans, Aurora immediately reaches out to Klaus so they can be in love again. We learn about their love story and breakup, which comes with a special surprise from behind the red door. Davina struggles with her role as regent during a new witch holiday, but gets at least one good gift to share with Hayley, who helps her with the continuing struggles of leadership. Cami gets mixed up in the serial killer investigation, putting some dangerous tools in the hands of NOLA PD. Finally, Marcel spies on Tristan to see who he might be teamed up with, and stumbles into some surprising information…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

The Strix decide to recruit Marcel with a good old fashioned masquerade ball (ok Dangerous Liaisons!) and a good old fashioned riddle (ok…). Everybody comes out for the ball - Hayley in a slay gown, Freya in a pink wig, Klaus in a drunken performance, and so on. Alexis is kidnapped, and gets to basically hang out until  Aurora (newly in NOLA) kills her. It’s sort of a Halloween episode, but only vaguely. We have fun!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

With Lucien making all manner of noise in New Orleans, naturally he gets arrested for the killings. Detective Will Kinney gets kicked out of the room quickly so Cami and Vincent can take over the interrogation. Lucien shares his story, particularly when he, happily, became the first non-original vampire. He also brings a new theory to the case, that he is being framed by none other than Tristan. it is time to meet Tristan in New Orleans, and yes he is also weird. He makes his case for an alliance with Elijah, which mirrors much of Lucien’s logic. We also meet a new crazy face card, Aya, who gives us hope in Elijah’s sire line after seeing Tristan. She brings Marcel to a secret vampire fraternity and kind of their CIA, and we see that Elijah was certainly a muse for many. Meanwhile Jackson helps Hayley deal with her anger and guilt, but they still can’t deal with their lack of sexual chemistry. Klaus apologizes as much as he can to Elijah in an effort to find forgiveness and strengthen themselves in the face of the prophecy. Finally, Aurora makes it clear she is done with the monastery and ready to travel to, where else, to New Orleans!Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

This week, we learn the official prophecy that is coming for the Mikaelsons: three will fall; one by friend, one by foe, and one by family. And oh boy, is New Orleans crawling with friends, foes, and family members! Hayley is missing on the full moon after poachers are sent to the bayou, so Elijah and Jackson work to find her. Davina finds her first though, and dangles the crescent curse solution over Hayley to get her to massacre 11 witches. Jackson and Hayley move across the street from the compound, despite the still active feud between Klaus and Hayley. Meanwhile, Cami profiles the French Quarter killer and … it’s looking like Lucien. And Lucien has a suspicious week, including having his own werewolf bite cure handy? We also confirm Tristan and Aurora are alive in the modern day, with a weird relationship and their sights set on New Orleans.Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

It’s a new season baby and man did we have a lot to say about this premiere! Elijah is still mad at Klaus, Hayley is a wolf, Marcel opened a boxing gym, Davina is struggling to lead, and Freya is just happy to be included! Cami finds herself in a new role when Vincent brings her to a crime scene to profile (Stephanie cheered!), and they finally let her dress cute (we all cheered!). Elijah heads to the bayou to meet Hayley, but finds some visitors with guns as well as a very concerning sight of wolves. An old friend named Lucien comes to see Klaus and his vibe is simultaneously perplexing and captivating. We get insight into the early history of the Originals, and Lucien seems to have a lot of going on in the present day, including a friend with a prophecy, as he tries to ally with Klaus. Finally, we go to a monastery, which seems random right? Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

It’s time for a jam-packed season finale! We start out with some classic linking-daggering shenanigans which sets the stage for an urgent plan. The mischief continues with some ashes switcher hijinks, courtesy of Elijah and Rebekah, to resurrect a familiar (and unpopular) face. But that character help’s guarantee another’s downfall! In the hullabaloo, a major weapon is “destroyed”, ashes pile up, and the Mikaelson siblings are at odds. Finally, we reflect on season 2 and start discussing what might be coming up in season 3…Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!
