A major dramatic part of this season so far has been the mysterious moonstone. Tyler had it, Mason wanted it, and now, as it turns out, Katherine came back to Mystic Falls just to get it back. But why is it important enough to her to come out of the woodwork after 145 years of pretending to be dead? As we saw in the 4th episode of the new season, Memory Lane, Katherine was willing to betray her entire family “without even blinking” over its secret… But is Katherine really that evil or is there something bigger at stake? Here are some possible theories:
Theory #1: The moonstone is a pseudo-full moon for the werewolves. The moonstone could contain some sort of supernatural force that controls the ability to let werewolves change at will. Like in other modern “vampires v. werewolves” shows and movies such as True Blood, Underworld, and Twilight, werewolves aren’t necessarily “servants of the moon” (2.03 – Bad Moon Rising) but can shape shift at will. And if the Mystic Falls vampires have the ability and magic aid to be able to walk in the daylight, who is to say that Mason (and possibly in the future Tyler) should have to wait around for the full moon to kick some serious butt?
Reasons why it could work: George wanted this moonstone pretty badly enough to form an alliance and agreement with his mortal enemy over it and having the ability to have the werewolf strength whenever you want it. That is definitely something any werewolf would be interested in.
Reasons why it probably won’t: Katherine is pretty selfish… (here is where you say “duh!”) Although, having a werewolf who can shape shift at will on your side would be an awesome advantage, Katherine stayed under the radar for too long and backstabbed her so called family for something that doesn’t involve something more major for her. This moonstone is too important to her not to effect the vampires in some way.
Theory #2: The moonstone is a form of guard against werewolf bites. The moonstone could make a vampire immune to a werewolf bite. This could explain Katherine’s obsession behind it and could explain why George wanted the stone. Another explanation why he took Katherine’s immunity to him away, he would have the ability to destroy her.
Reasons why it could work: That could make Katherine (and if she chooses to share with Stefan)the supernatural victor against the werewolves.
Reasons why it probably won’t: They wouldn’t bring up fatal werewolf bites if they had such a ready solution available so quickly. Besides, Katherine wouldn’t betray her identity just to be able to give the Lockwoods the advantage, when they could have easily destroyed her after the trade was made. Also, keeping in mind that Katherine mentioned in 2.04 - Memory Lane that there were few werewolves left. She compelled Mason into spilling human blood to be able to set the curse in motion for him. It is pretty doubtful that Katherine is scared enough of a werewolf bite to go through all the trouble to protect herself from it.
Theory #3: He/She who possesses the moonstone, is in total control. The moonstone could give the holder the ultimate power over werewolves and vampires. Having similar power to the Gilbert device, it would explain why George and Katherine both wanted it so badly.
Reasons why it could work: The moonstone could very well give Katherine the one-up on not just the Lockwoods, but on EVERYBODY!!! And we thought Katherine was tough to beat before!
Reasons why it probably won’t: She would be utterly unstoppable. At least to the supernaturals on the show… but wouldn’t it a dramatic twist if the only person that could stop her was none other than Elena? The moonstone could give advantage to Katherine but it would be too much to say it would make her immune to wooden stakes through the heart as well.
There’s a lot to think about it. Guess we’ll just have to be patient (I could hear the groans already) to see what these brilliant TVD writers have in store for us and our friends in Mystic Falls.
