3x15: A New Hope

The trio is still tripping from the last episode and MG has returned to the Salvatore School (which has more people than I last remember). Kaleb ignores MG when he moves back in and the girls break down their shared hallucination.

Hope: "How do we know your father is here?"

Lizzie: "It's a bar."

When Lizzie knows the password for a specific bar, Hosie wonders how she knows it. Turns out, Lizzie wrote this story when she was 11.

Ric sends MG and Kaleb to bury the Windigo. MG tries to get answers out of Kaleb as to why he hasn't talked to him the whole time he's been back. Jed joins them without MG's permission and he sees how buddy-buddy Jed and Kaleb are.

The trio meets Ethan who is Lizzie's bad boy prince and he gives them an address to find Ric. When they find him, they get taken away. He betrayed them. We find out that Josie had read Lizzie's diary and also knows parts of the story because she wanted to understand Lizzie's feelings.

In the real world, Ric visits Dorian at the hospital. To his surprise, Emma arrives to visit. Apparently, they're married?? I thought they were just dating. She gives him a spiel about his behavior and how people put themselves in danger to get close to him.

Kaleb is mad at MG for telling Ethan about the supernatural and potentially exposing the lot of them. Their argument is interrupted when they notice the buried Windigo isn't buried anymore. They wonder if they buried it wrong, but Kaleb thinks that Ric and Dorian are setting all of them up so that they have to help each other.

Alas! The girls are saved by none other than Summer Fontana - aka season 4 Hope Mikaelson (Marshall). You guys she's so grown! Hope sees the painting that Klaus made in The Originals. It is revealed that Hope overheard Josie telling the other witches about Lizzie's story and they all laughed at Hope being the villain. After Hope had a tantrum, Emma advised her to write her own story where she is the hero. Hope Marshall reveals that what is in the suit of armor is the Hollow. Josie and Lizzie ask what it is since they took it out of her, but were too young to know what was happening. Young Hope thinks that once the Hollow is defeated, her parents will come back and then the three of them (herself, Josie, and Lizzie) could be friends. Hope tells her that the Hollow has already been defeated and she has a new thing she's scared of that she knows how to defeat.

MG tells Kaleb that everything he said was right. They wouldn't have been in the place they are now if he would've just listened to Kaleb. However, Kaleb notices that something is amiss and MG is now the Windigo. At least, that's what it might look like. When Windigo's are weak, they take human form. Jed and MG find Kaleb mid-fight and rescue him.

The fever dream is over! Hope defeated the person in the suit which happens to be Malivore. She confesses that she knows how to defeat him - she has to become a full tribrid.

Jed eating a marshmallow was surprisingly cute. Kaleb confesses that he knows that MG is going to change the world one day. He just thought it would be him by his side and not Ethan. Kaleb confides in MG about Cleo and they mention how MG is over the Alyssa Chang thing. They share a hug and exchange 'I love you's.

Ric tells Emma that what she said was correct and that he'd like the mend their relationship. Dorian remains okay and safe, and Alaric tells her that he's got Dorian's back. Emma decides she'll let Dorian decide how deep he wants to be involved in the supernatural world.

"For once I just wanted to love someone and not lose them." - Hope

Well hello! Clarke is officially back. He is what came out of the pit that Andi created. *screams internally* next week is the season finale! You won't want to miss it.

[salvatoreschool]

Did Legacies' Matt Davis Spoil A Ton Of What Happens To Alaric And Hope In Season 2?

I think he did. The headline, I mean. I think The Vampire Diaries alum Matt Davis (Alaric Saltzman) just went ahead and dropped major spoilers for what's ahead in Legacies Season 2. Granted, he may have added a few things here and there. We won't know for sure until October 2019.

Matthew Davis was just at San Diego Comic-Con, and sat down at the press round tables for a game of "Maybe/Maybe Not." I already dove into what he said about Alaric's twin daughters Josie (Kaylee Bryant) and Lizzie Saltzman (Jenny Boyd), heavily hinting to their uncle Kai Parker (Chris Wood) and how that Vampire Diaries character could be introduced in Legacies Season 2.

But let's go back to what Matt Davis said about Alaric and Hope Mikaelson. It's hard to know what to believe, but the part at the start about Alaric not being headmaster anymore in Season 2? He said the same thing in a video interview with Extra, next to Hope actress Danielle Rose Russell. In that same Extra interview, he also repeated the stuff about possibly getting a new love interest in the new sheriff in Mystic Falls.

Matt Davis seemed to get a dirty look off-camera after that, maybe going too far with spoilers, but he went a lot further during the press round tables, so keep it all in mind. Here's how Davis started his Maybe/Maybe Not spiel when it comes to what's next for Alaric in the 2019-2020 season, picking up from the Legacies Season 1 finale:

“Alaric's been voted off the island, right, at the end of Season 1. He's been kicked out, and so we'll find him now months later, summer break coming to a close. He's been on sabbatical, he's grown out his beard, his hair's grown wild. And he may be butthurt by the fact that the vote didn't go his way. He may have thought he would have been kept on as headmaster, but he's no longer the headmaster”.

Believable. Legacies Season 1 did end with Alaric putting his own fate as headmaster up for debate. Also, during a Comic-Con video with TVLine, Julie Plec said the first episode of Legacies Season 2 would start at the end of the last school year, and then they'd do a quick passage-of-time through summer in Mystic Falls before picking up right before the new school year. That does seem to track with what Matt Davis was teasing. Here's how Davis continued his own SDCC roundtable talk, which CinemaBlend attended:

“So in between jobs, he's looking for a new job, and he may or may not become principal for Mystic Falls High School. And there may or may not be a headmaster replacement for him in the Salvatore School. This replacement may or may not be actually on the level. This new headmaster may see the kids and their powers differently than Alaric does, and this new headmaster may or may not want to remove all the restrictions that Alaric was putting in place to protect them from themselves. And this new headmaster may or may not encourage the students to do things that Alaric would never encourage them to do. And this may or may not lead them in the best place”.

Boy am I already tired of the may or may nots, but if Alaric is no longer headmaster -- which is a believable next step -- then the Salvatore School would need someone new (unless Caroline finally returns, for heaven's sake -- it's your school, lady). I can buy the new headmaster being some supe-friendly, who potentially leans more toward the Voldemort end of things.

Also, with Alaric as the (possible) new principal at Mystic Falls High School and replaced by this new headmaster at the Salvatore School, Matt Davis said we may (or may not) reignite the high school rivalry and have another football game. The Vampire Diaries has a long history with Mystic Falls High School football, and you'll remember the Salvatore vs. Mystic Falls flag football game of Legacies Season 1. That's an annual tradition, so it would make sense to see it again.

Matt Davis has talked about wanting Alaric to find a love interest. He has the worst track record from The Vampire Diaries, and that bad luck continued into Legacies when he started making a move on Emma Tig (Karen David) right when she started dating Dorian Williams (Demetrius Bridges). Emma is now on a leave of absence from the school.

However, Matt Davis said something about Alaric maybe getting a new love interest who may be the new sheriff in town. That led reporters to joke that the new love interest is Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig), another character from The Vampire Diaries who showed up early in Legacies Season 1 as the sheriff in Mystic Falls.

If this new love interest scoop is true -- and he did repeat it to Extra on camera -- what happens to Sheriff Matt Donovan? Does he leave town? Get fired? Who is the new sheriff in town? That should be an interesting casting announcement.

Now on to how Alaric and Hope supposedly cross paths very early in Legacies Season 2, per more juicy details from Matt Davis:

“We may or may not find Hope locked in the Malivore pit at the beginning of Episode 1, and maybe by the end of Episode 1 she may get out of the Malivore pit. Maybe. She may or may not be wandering through Mystic Falls after she gets out, having been completely erased from everyone's memory, so she's a total stranger that no one recognizes. Maybe a monster got out of Malivore and she's in the process of tracking it down, in spite of the fact that no one remembers who she is. And she may or may not run into Alaric who is also tracking down the same monster. And they may or may not cross paths in pursuit of the same monster. And Alaric probably doesn't recognize when he runs into her. And she may or may not construct a whole identity to give to him, since he doesn't remember who she is. They may or may not partner up to track down these monsters in spite of the fact that he doesn't know who she is”.

Now my head is spinning. Hope already out of the Malivore pit by the end of the first episode? That I would not have expected. We already knew she'd be erased from everyone's memories, wherever she is. Interesting that Alaric and Hope may -- or may not -- end up tracking the same monster. What about Ryan Clarke (Nick Fink)? There's no mention of him here, but Julie Plec had said Hope and Clarke would have a dynamic akin to Bonnie and Damon from The Vampire Diaries.

During Julie Plec's Comic-Con talk with TVLine, she mentioned writing new brother and sister characters who are local to Mystic Falls and they will both have crushes on Hope in Legacies Season 2. So add those two characters to Hope's long list of admirers. Not sure what it means for her own true love Landon Kirby (Aria Shahghasemi) but I have to assume they find their way back to each other at some point.

It's hard to really know how much of this to believe. Did Matt Davis really just sit down and tell reporters every detail from the first two episodes? Because he did add at the end that all of that may or may not happen in the first two episodes. That is kinda believable, since the writers just started working on Legacies Season 2 in June, with production just starting two weeks ago, and the cast just starting filming this Monday, July 22. During the Extra interview, Davis and Danielle Rose Russell said they had read the first four episodes of the 20-episode Season 2 by that point.

There are some things we don't have to guess about. For example, that crazy new vampire coming to Legacies Season 2? He has been cast, and apparently he will indeed be a new love interest for Lizzie. Jenny Boyd said the early scripts for Legacies Season 2 were blowing her mind, and she also said during Comic-Con that the Season 2 premiere mentions Lizzie visiting Caroline. That may be all we get from Caroline (Candice King) in the first few episodes, with no actual on-screen appearances yet, but give it time.

Legacies Season 2 will premiere Thursday, October 10 on The CW. If the new love sheriff/love interest thing for Alaric is true, stay tuned for casting on that front.

( Jckonline.com ) - Over the past few weeks, a group of investors, led by Toronto-registered K2 Associates, snatched 5.4 percent of Dominion Diamond's shares, becoming the latest investor-activist to target the company in our industry.

Public criticism from the mouth of K2 Associates to the management of the Canadian diamond miner seems to have led to a flurry of announcements from Dominion Diamond announcements: portfolio manager K2 Associates Josef Vejvoda joined the board of directors of Dominion Diamond, two directors in this company resigned, And respected long-time manager Dominion Diamond Bob Gannicott (Bob Gannicott) left his post. (Gannicott had health problems.) The company is also looking into the possible sale of its business, Bloomberg said.

In theory, investor activists seem to be a positive force. They give the business a couple of fresh eyes and are often aimed at bloated salaries and benefits of company management.

In fact, their track record is very ambiguous. After analyzing 70 campaigns, the Wall Street Journal concludes: "Activism often improves the operating results of the company and almost as often does not improve them." Laurence Fink, director of BlackRock's asset management company, told the Wall Street Journal that "a typical list of investor activist wishes-share buy-backs, dividends, corporate asset sharing-is aimed at short-term actions that raise the price of shares, but Worsening the long-term health of companies. " Another study concludes that these actions, reducing investment, not only hit the long-term prospects of companies, but also the economy as a whole.

I've seen mostly bad results from this practice for companies in our industry. Judge for yourself:

- In 2007, the investment firm Breeden Capital Management became the largest shareholder of Zale Corporation. Soon after, the head of Breeden Capital Management Richard Breeden joined Zale's board of directors and this corporation initiated the purchase of its shares for $ 300 million. By 2010, Zale was in a desperate situation and, of course, could use cash Funds spent on the redemption of their shares, which, incidentally, could not increase their value. The loss of Breeden on his investments in Zale led to the fact that several pension funds refused from the services of his firm.

- In 2012, the CEO of Pershing Square Capital Managment, William Ackman, convinced JC Penney to hire former John Apple store manager Ron Johnson as CEO. The result: a catastrophe in which other members of the board of directors publicly accused Akman.

- In 2014, TIG Advisors spent a lot of time and money trying to get Signet to raise the price that it offered for Zale. Failed.

- In the same year, investors-activists seized the board of directors of the company Scio Diamond (which, I must say, had managerial problems). The new management informed investors that, as it hopes, this company, which produces artificial diamonds, will break even within six to nine months. This did not happen in a year and a half - in fact, losses only increased.

- In May 2014, CEO of Third Point, Daniel Loeb (Daniel Loeb) took three seats on the board of directors of Sotheby's after a fierce battle with the votes of shareholders, submitted by proxy, which flared up over the salary of the long-time company manager William Ruprecht (William Ruprecht) and Use of a car and a company airplane. Soon after, Ruprecht left. Tad Smith, who replaced him, came to this job without having an auction experience, but he gets a salary even bigger than Ruprecht, and, of course, he uses the car and the plane of the company. After Loeb and his colleagues joined the board of directors, the shares of the auction house lost almost half their value.

Perhaps the company K2 Associates is another example. Perhaps she has good ideas on how to update Dominion Diamond. The letter of K2 Associates, in which Dominion Diamond is criticized, is read as if written by people grabbing for a straw - it indicates 10 areas that need improvement, but no possible solutions are proposed. Representatives of K2 Associates did not offer any ideas, in addition to the repurchase of shares - which is not surprising. But analysts, leading Dominion Diamond, expressed confidence in its current strategy.

Liam reveals himself as the mysterious bitethis food critic and Tig tries to play it cool.

TIG: What are you doing here?

LIAM: [Looks up] What are you doing here? Are you stalking me again?

TIG: Excuse me, I work here!

SONIA: Hello! You must be from bitethis. We’re big fans. I’m Sonia, manager of the Waterside Warble.

LIAM: Liam. [Shakes hand] I’ve heard great things about you guys.

TIG: Wait. You’re behind bitethis?

LIAM: Upset I’m not some fancy architect?

ROBIN: You two know each other?

LIAM: [Muttering] Not really.

TIG: We’re friends.

TIG: Okay, so I checked the back like three times, and we should be good to go for now.

STUART: Jo and I have the back covered.

MINDY: And I can stay until after lunch rush.

ROBIN: What would we do without you guys?

TIG: We’re just glad that everything is in its place.

ROBIN: I still really hate that we got broken into. Feels pervasive, doesn’t it? I don’t know what I’d do if any of you guys were here when it happened... Thank God no one’s hurt.

TIG: I know, and I’ve been looking into extra security measures within our budget. You said Mr. Castellano can come in tomorrow to fix the door, right? We should be fine.

MINDY: Besides, you almost wouldn’t be able to tell that the door’s broken!

TIG: Tinsley, I need to tell you something.

TINSLEY: Yeah?

TIG: Trying to impress Liam for the review isn't the only reason I decided to come out tonight. He’s not even the only person I wanna impress tonight.

TINSLEY: Tig, you're my best friend. You don't need to impress me anymore.

TIG: Shut up. You know Raj’s roommate, Jude?

TINSLEY: Of course, we went to college together.

TIG: Wait, you guys knew the bookstore cutie before this summer?

TINSLEY: Jude’s the bookstore cutie? You have a crush on Jude?

TIG: Duh, he’s beautiful.

TINSLEY: He’s also leaving in, like, 6 months and not even your type.

Tig helps Raj run errands for his housewarming party.

TIG: Raj, why didn't you tell me Liam was a food critic?

RAJ: It wouldn’t have been a very blind date if I revealed all his secrets, would it?

TIG: He came to review the Waterside Warble today, you know. Had no idea I worked there.

RAJ: So that’s why he was all smiles when he got home today. You know, even though you're the crazy ice cream lady and you've embarrassed him like, twice, now, he still thinks you're pretty funny.

TIG: Do you think he’s gonna get me back for ditching him at The Old Salt House yesterday?

RAJ: Nah, he's not that kind of guy.

TIG: But will you tell him that I’m really sorry for embarrassing him?

RAJ: Maybe, if you help me get through this errands list in less than an hour.

TIG: You know, you should be thanking me for helping you out with a party I’m not even going to.

RAJ: Imma tell Liam you said his blog’s shit.

TIG: Give me that list, asshole.

Tig regrets ditching Liam the night before as Liam gives her a taste of her own medicine.

SONIA: Well, Tig’s the greatest pastry chef we’ve ever had. And if you need a chance to catch up, I can give you a minute...

TIG: It’ll be just a second!

TIG: [Fakes a smile] Liam! I had so much fun yesterday!

LIAM: You mean before or after you stood me up?

TIG: Err, I swear it’s not like that. If I’d known you were bitethis, I would’ve --

LIAM: Taken the time to get to know me?

TIG: Yes!

LIAM: So, what you're saying is that if you knew I could’ve helped your career, you wouldn't have misjudged me or left me sitting alone in a bar?

TIG: No, that’s not what I mean -- I only left because of a work thing --

LIAM: You know, you can’t just be nice to me all of a sudden because I’m reviewing your restaurant.

TIG: [Scoffs] I wasn’t trying to...

LIAM: Really? Because it’s already been 3 minutes and you haven't even yelled at me.

TIG: I don't know what to say other than I’m sorry.

LIAM: Sorry might not cut it, Tig. You know, I oughtta leave just to show you what it feels like. You were an awful date and I’m sure you’re an awful pastry chef.

TIG: Liam!

LIAM: And scene!

TIG: Huh?

LIAM: See? I can be dramatic too. Wait, are you crying?

TIG: No!

LIAM: You should've seen your face.

TIG: [Scoffs] Okay, you got me. Can we be friends now?

LIAM: For now.

MINDY: Hey Tig, Miss Robin wants you in the back, now. Hi, sir. What can we start you off with?

[imnooboo]

The Fink Legacy: Gen 1, Tig Fink 🍰

Duty calls, but before Tig heads out, she tells Liam what she thinks of him.

Ring! Ring!

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that it read Robin Jones. I looked at him.

“No, it’s fine. Take it.”“Thanks,” I said. 

I put a hand over my other ear and answered. “Hello? Yeah, sorry – I’m at a bar. Don’t act so surprised! Wait, huh? Right now? Okay. No, it’s fine. I’ll be there in a couple minutes. Alright, bye.”

“Are you headed out?”

“Yeah, I’m so sorry. But it’s a work thing.”

“Right now? At this hour? Do you want me to go with you or something? I can get you a Lyft.”

“No,” I said, taken aback by his strangely kind gesture. Perhaps too kind. “It’s fine, I can walk there.”

“It’s really no big deal. At least let me keep you company.” He started to get out of his seat when I stopped him.

“Listen,” I stated. “This was… nice. I mean, it was weird, too, but mostly nice, I think. But it’s not gonna work out. I know you. You're probably some hotshot architect or businessman or app developer who's ready to settle down. You're looking for a girl you can wife up in the next year and you only moved back to the city because you know that's where the money’s at. And all of that’s fine! But I’m not the girl you're looking for. I have dreams, alright? And I can't let anyone get in the way of that. I’m sorry. I’m sure we can still be friends or something.”

I stuck out my hand and waited for him to meet mine in an awkward handshake. I nodded and then headed towards the door. As I made my way out, I caught a glimpse of Tinsley in the corner, trying to gauge what just happened. I shrugged, pointed at my phone, mouthed the word “work” and tried to look as apologetic as possible.

In the reflection of the glass window, I could see a confused Liam still staring at me as I left and Tinsley’s cheeks turning as red as her hair.
