Salvatore The Musical Season 3 Episode 3

Essentially a Glee episode Salvatore The Musical edition of the successful TV spinoff show is probably the most iconic piece of filler in Legacies history.

However, the final few minutes go completely bonkers when a Leprechaun shows up and attacks Alaric. While much of the episode explores the mythology of leprechauns and the nature of luck it's how Hope and Cleo continue to work out their relationship while defeating the Leprechaun that makes them so easy to root for in the episode with Hopes crushing devotion to Landon never wavering.

This Feels A Little Cult Y Season 3 Episode 14

Much like season 1 the antepenultimate chapter in season 3 was quite entertaining despite feeling somewhat unrelated to the larger storyline.

The Story Of My Life Season 4 Episode 10

Considering how season 4 of the highly acclaimed CW series jumped from 16 to 20 episodes it's no surprise to find it has a fair share of filler. Starting with episode 10 much of the drama concerns new student Ben a minor character who happens to be a monster magnet at Salvatore. Cleo Jed and MG decide how to get rid of Ben before it's too late. While there is a small subplot regarding Alaric and Landon being stuck in limbo with The Necromancer that speaks to the larger plot the episode is really about the confidence Jed must find as an alpha to make the key decision regarding Bens fate. Cleo and MGs votes differ leaving Jed to cast the deciding way of ridding Ben who ultimately vanishes after 8 episodes. It's a great piece of character building that goes a long way in understanding the moral quandaries that even werewolves face on the show showing they aren't much different than humans after all.

Follow The Sound Of My Voice Season 4 Episode 11

One week later another freakish and frightening filler episode comes when Hope and Lizzie attend a creepy carnival in Mystic Falls.
