"The Vampire Diaries" - Season 1 Quiz

Answer: Katherine

Katherine and Elena are portrayed by actress Nina Dobrev. Nina may be best known, prior to this role, as Mia on "Degrassi: The Next Generation". Katherine Pearce was believed to have been entombed with over 20 other vamps underneath a church in 1864. That turned out to be false.

Answer: brothers

Stefan returned to town, as he did periodically, to visit his Uncle Zach. Damon followed Stefan to town with his own agenda. He wanted to free Katherine from her 145 year entombment. It turned out not to be necessary. Katherine had turned both Salvatore brothers back in 1864, and Stefan had been unintentionally responsible for the town discovering that she was a vampire. Damon never forgave Stefan for that accident, and then he found out that Katherine had lived well beyond that night and had never let Damon know. Stefan first met Elena the night her parents died in a car accident. Elena was in the car as well, and Stefan saved her life.

Paul Wesley plays Stefan and Ian Somerhalder plays Damon.

Answer: Vicki Donovan

Of these choices, only Vicki was turned into a vampire in season one. Vicki was the sister of Matt Donovan, Elena's life long pal and one time boyfriend. It was Damon who turned her, after feeding off her more than once. He remarked at her will to live, fed her his blood and snapped her neck. Stefan tried to help her, so she could continue on as a vampire, but in the end he had to stake her to save Jeremy Gilbert. Jeremy and Vicki had an ongoing relationship, despite her desire to win over Tyler Lockwood, son of the mayor. Jeremy and Elena are siblings, but not biologically.

Answer: Mystic Falls

Since 1864, the townsfolk had kept a series of journals. The journals contained clues to aid Damon in his quest of opening the tomb. Another vampire, named Anna, was also looking for an item known as a Grimoire. That was a witch's spell book. The location of the Grimoire was written down in the journal of Jonathan Gilbert. And, in turn, the Grimoire was finally located in the coffin of Stefan and Damon's father. Anna wanted to get her mother, also a vampire, out of the tomb. After the tomb was opened by Sheila and Bonnie Bennett, ancestors of the witch Emily Bennett, Damon discovered that Katherine was not inside. Anna's mother Pearl was inside, and revealed to Damon how Katherine was able to escape. Anna told Damon that she'd last seen Katherine near Chicago in 1983. He was crushed by the realization that Katherine had never cared about him at all.

Bonnie's Grams, Sheila Bennett, was played by Jasmine Guy. Pearl was played by Kelly Hu. Grams died after the opening of the tomb.

Answer: Vervain

Vervain is a real plant. In the series, if a person wore it on their person, or ingested it, a vampire could not compel them to do what they wanted. Zach Salvatore kept a crop growing, though Damon had destroyed its natural growth throughout Mystic Falls. Damon killed Zach very early into the season, but the entire town hierarchy knew about the vamps from the past and suspected more had come to town.

They even had some sort of compass that pointed toward a vampire.

Answer: Isobel Flemming

Isobel was the late wife of Alaric Saltzman. Alaric had come to town to take the job as History teacher, but he also wanted to find his wife's killer. Isobel had been killed and turned into a vampire by Damon Salvatore at her own request. She had sought Damon out to be turned, but before doing so had given her husband a ring to wear as protection.

It turned out he needed it, as Damon killed Alaric in self-defense. Alaric awoke moments later, and realized that the ring had saved him. Before killing Alaric, Damon surmised to Stefan that Isobel must have sought him out on Katherine's suggestion. Once again, Damon was grasping to any hope Katherine still loved him.

This all happened in episode 15, "A Few Good Men". In the episode, Matt's mother came home. Kelly Donovan was played by "The O.C." alum Melinda Clarke and Isobel was played "The L Word" alum Mia Kirshner.

Answer: Caroline Forbes

In this episode, Stefan was captured and tortured by Frederick. He was one of the entombed vamps that escaped with Pearl. Mystic Falls was besieged by a big rain storm that day and Frederick and pals were able to walk outside. They captured poor Stefan out in the woods. Meanwhile, Caroline was driving out in the storm and got her car stuck.

She tried calling for help, but could get no signal. Damon was forced to get the help of Alaric and Elena to save Stefan, but first he had to kill the woman who owned the house in order to go inside. Stefan and Elena escaped the house, but Frederick followed. Elena was forced to feed Stefan her own blood to save him, and Stefan killed Frederick. Caroline lost her footing out in the stormy night and slid down an embankment.

It was on the side of that slope she discovered Vicki's body.

Answer: True

This plot line also played out in "Let the Right One In". Anna did not want to turn Jeremy, but agreed to do so after Pearl realized who he actually was. It was Jonathan Gilbert, Jeremy's ancestor, who'd captured Pearl and put her in the tomb. Jeremy had explained to Anna that he knew she was a vampire in the previous episode by relating the story about Vicki's personality changes.

At the end of episode 17, Anna realized Jeremy had wanted to be turned so he could be with Vicki and not her. She saw his grief when Jeremy realized that Vicki had been dead the whole time she was gone, and never been a vampire at all.

The truth, yet to be revealed to him, was that she had been a vampire and that the corpse was a vampire's corpse, not a human's.

Answer: John Gilbert

It was Damon who figured it out first. He told Stefan, and Stefan told Elena. But, it wasn't until Elena confronted John with the information as fact that he confirmed their suspicions. John had been crazy for Isobel when she was in her mid teens. He was the one who took her to his brother, Dr. Grayson Gilbert, when she was ready to deliver Elena. Mayor Lockwood had secrets of his own, Alaric was married to Isobel after college, and Logan was staked not longer after becoming a vampire.

Answer: No

Not only did the kiss happen on Elena's front porch, but he was not kissing Elena at all. He thought he was, but it was Katherine. Katherine stole Elena's clothing and appeared at the Gilbert home. She and Damon shared an intimate moment, and Jenna opened the door to witness it.

She ordered 'Elena' inside the home, which gave Katherine the necessary invite into the house. Once inside, she attacked John Gilbert, cutting his fingers off of his hand. She wanted to remove the safety ring that he wore, which had belonged to Grayson, in order to kill him.

His fate was left up in the air as the season ended. Jeremy drank Anna's blood from the vial she'd given him before being killed in the season finale, and prepared to overdose on prescription pain killers so he could turn into a vampire. Mayor Lockwood was killed after the vamps were rounded up and set to burn, and Tyler was in a car accident with Caroline and Matt. Several hints were given during the season that showed Tyler and Mayor Lockwood were werewolves. Stay tuned for season two.
