Doppelgängers: A Vampire Diaries Podcast

Yes of course we love Heated Rivalry like anyone with taste! SO naturally we needed a minisode to share our thoughts on the best TV show to come out in quite some time! Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers! Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @doppelgangerspodcast!

After the recent deaths it’s time not only for multiple funerals, but also to check in on the prophecy that is the Mikaelsons hope has been stopped. Of course, that is not how prophecies work. Meanwhile, Klaus attempts to mend the relationship with Marcel, which goes quite well until someone buts in. Vincent and Kol spend the day in the ancestral plane to take care of the problem that is the New O...

This week, we catch up with Kol after he (reminder) killed Davina last week! Luckily, she is a witch in New Orleans, so she should be easy enough to bring back. Well, she would be … but she’s made enemies of the ancestors and Freya needs ancestor magic to kill Lucien, who cements himself as a major threat by locating Rebekah’s body. Lucien has his Black Swan moment, wishy-washy-ness catches up to...

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 t...

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 bit...

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 Kingmak...

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...

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 he...

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 pu...

Time for one of our most highly requested minisodes and spoiler alert, we are team Conrad (and team Belly tbh)! We'll always and forever have summer! 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...

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 Marc...

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 defin...

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 f...

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 com...

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...

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 ca...

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 get...

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 v...

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. i...

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...

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...

Can't get enough of Candice King? Me neither! We recap her latest project with Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie! We talk all about the book and the show, remember to stream it so Candice King can cash more checks!! 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,...
