S1E13 - Elena Gilbert (Part 1‪)‬ It Was an Animal Attack

In the thirteenth episode of the podcast, Sandile and Fadzai brave a new, supernatural world with Elena Gilbert.
The main character of The Vampire Diaries, Elena enters her junior year a few months after losing her parents, trying to reclaim her life. She meets and falls in love with Stefan Salvatore, the charming and mysterious new student, who turns out to be a vampire returned to Mystic Falls. When Stefan's brother, Damon, appears, and people start dying in strange ways in her town, Elena finds herself falling into a dangerous web of the supernatural.
Over the course of the series, she grapples with each new discovery - vampires, witches, werewolves - and how constant threat from ancient creatures changes her as she tries to keep herself and her loved ones safe. She also finds herself torn between her undying love for Stefan, and her undeniable attraction to Damon, all turned on its head when she unexpectedly dies and becomes a vampire herself. But she gets by with her friends, her wits, and her capacity for empathy and cunning in equal measure.

(This episode focuses on Elena in seasons 1 and 2A.)
