<P> Zeba of Two Cents TV gave a good review to the episode saying that it got more sinister than the last . About the ending she states that the final exchange "manages to take this episode from an "eh" to an "OH SNAP ." " and she comments: "Did you see that coming? I must say I was thoroughly delighted by this new development . We've seen vampire shows where the vampire world is either very much out there (a la True Blood), or very underground . I can only imagine what's in store for this series if some sort of witch hunt goes down . A show is always more interesting when there's more than one threat for the characters to deal with ." </P> <P> Tiffany Vogt of The TV Watchtower gave a good review and also commented at the ending of the episode: "At first, I was not sure why so much effort and time was being given to Jenna and Logan and why it was so necessary for her to forgive him so quickly . Every time he begged for her to forget the past and take him back, I felt ready to slap him . But all was explained in that last scene as we watched Caroline's mom (the sheriff) tell Mayor Lockwood, his wife, and Logan, "Five bodies drained of blood, I'm certain--they've come back ." Those words were chilling . Who are these people and what on earth are they up to?!" </P> <P> SB from Give Me My Remote also gave a good review to the episode saying that she really enjoyed it and that it was seriously funny . "I can't believe we're only four episodes into this season, because I'm already so invested in the characters, including the side characters, and the story is both getting set up and moving along nicely . I thought this episode was a good balance of having plenty going on, but remaining focused and not having an overwhelming amount of things happening . And it's just building up nicely ." </P> <P> Frankie Diane Mallis from First Novels Club gave a good review to the episode saying that it "rocked" and she was surprised by the end . "OMG they need that pocket watch for some kind of anti vampire mojo, and Caroline's Kyle XY Mom, Tyler's creepy parents, and Aunt Jenna's News Anchor ex are in on it! OMG!" </P>
