From what the CW has revealed so far of the season two’s second episode, entitled Brave New World, I think it’s safe to say that Caroline Forbes is now a vampire. Now the issue we’re going to have to deal with is how Caroline’s mommy, the sheriff, is going to react. Oh, and her new beau, Matt? I don’t see this turning out well, and it’s all Katherine’s fault.

Damon, being Damon, tries to find out who Tyler’s Uncle Mason really is (a werewolf, duh?) through Tyler’s “volatile personality,” whatever that means. Witch-guru Bonnie, who’s upset by all the disorder around her, takes her anger out on Damon. More of that mind-hurting thing? I never got how she did that.

It’s also Carnival Day at Mystic Falls, and from the teaser pics below we see a party, a lot of Stefan/Elena talking, and some Damon/Elena hating, I mean, talking. Stefan and Mason are seen in a friendly arm-wrestling competition, but the guy that intrigues me the most is this newcomer who goes by the name of Carter. Not only are we shown pictures of Carter getting in a fight with the wolf bros, but there’s that one image of Damon confronting Carter. Good guy? Bad guy? Deeply troubled guy? Only time can tell.
