Sandile and Fadzai load their crossbows with Hunter apparent and occasional Medium, Jeremy Gilbert.
A main character for most of The Vampire Diaries, he begins as the moody younger brother of the lead, Elena, sinking in substance abuse as he struggles with the untimely loss of their parents. When his girlfriend-turned-vampire Vicki is killed before his eyes after attempting to feed on him, he is thrust into the supernatural core of the plot, including the history of the Gilberts as one of the founding families of Mystic Falls.
Subsequent seasons find Jeremy in various states - assisting resident witch, Bonnie, with her magic for the group; making contact with sprits after his third (and first permanent) death; and being chosen as one of The Five, an ancient group of supernatural vampire hunters - but after enough periods of narrative lull, the character is written out in the sixth season. Regardless, Jeremy maintains a mark in history as an integral part of the series.
Content Warning: A technical suicide attempt is discussed at 00:36:23 - 00:40:00, and occasionally referenced in the rest of the episode.
Audio Note: There is some intermittent background noise at 00:54:50 - 00:56:00 and one or two other points in the episode; the conversation is audible above the sound.
