I've been expecting them to do Stefan/Caroline since season 4 now, but they never do seem to quite follow through *g* Personally I love them as a friendship and don't really see any romantic subtext there, but the show does keep teasing it!

And I'd agree that the curse could be something that a dissatisfied Tyler chooses to activate, I just found it hard to believe that it would be that easy for him to slip and accidentally kill someone as Alaric seemed to be suggesting. I mean yeah he did get pretty physical with Luke, but I didn't see him as being that close to killing him
