Welcome to Bloodlines and Backdrops, The Vampire Diaries, rewatch with receipts!

**Season 1, Episode 5 - You’re Undead to Me**

This podcast offers more than just a rewatch; it invites you to share in the Vampire Stalker experience with us.

In this weeks episode, Damon is rotting in a basement, Stefan is running out of excuses so he tries to buy her love with food, and we meet Tiki’s granddad who’s about to figuratively blow shit up, while Bonnie is literally, blowing shit up! Let’s just say… this is the episode where things start to click — and everyone may not make  it out.

Throughout each episode, we journey down memory lane, highlighting connections to Covington and sharing behind-the-scenes insights!
