Klaus totally hijacks Stefan's life after Stefan begs him to save Damon (who has been bitten by a werewolf and is doomed to die an agonizing death). Elena refuses to give up searching for him, despite Damon being besotted with her.

Not to mention the antics of Klaus' sister http://www.sidereel.com/Vampire_Diaries...
