"Original Sin" is the third episode of the fifth season of the American series The Vampire Diaries, and the series' 92nd episode overall. "Original Sin" was originally aired on October 17, 2013, on The CW. The episode was written by Melinda Hsu Taylor and Rebecca Sonnenshine and directed by Jesse Warn.
The episode received mixed reviews with some of the reviewers criticizing the amnesia storyline.
Elena and Katherine (Nina Dobrev) both have the same dream about Stefan (Paul Wesley). They see him enter a bar, attack someone, let them go and then, when he gets out, he burns in the sun. After the dream, Elena and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) try to find where the bar they saw in the dream is so they can find Stefan. Katherine goes with them on the road trip because they cannot leave her behind while Silas is looking for her.
Stefan is found and saved by Qetsiyah (Tessa in present time played by Janina Gavankar) who is later revealed that she is a powerful witch from Silas' past. Stefan asks her to tell him who she is and Tessa tells him the story of her and Silas when they first met in Ancient Greece two thousand years ago. Silas was in love with Amara (the progenitor of the Petrova doppelgängers) and he wanted them to live together forever. He pretended to be in love with Qetsiyah so she could make them an immortality spell which she does thinking that it would be for the two of them. Silas stole it and drank it with Amara, abandoning Qetsiyah the day of their wedding. Qetsiyah found out what happened, so she created the Cure, gave it to Amara and then killed her. She tried to force Silas to take it too but he refused, so Qetsiyah locked him in the tomb for 2000 years with the Cure hoping he would take it. Qetsiyah was watching him all these years from the Other Side (she admits that she created the Other Side too) but got frustrated when Silas was freed and the Hunters (who she sent) failed to kill him. She managed to escape from the Other Side when Bonnie (Kat Graham) dropped the veil and now she tries to kill Silas by herself, but she needs Stefan for her plan.
