* Despite Antonia being set up as one of the [[BigBad Big Bads]] of season 4, there is something deeply satisfying about seeing her call out vampires for all the atrocities they've committed against humans for centuries. After seeing several seasons of vampires raping, torturing, and killing humans in cold-blood [[KarmaHoudini while covering up their crimes]], it's nice to see the show finally start holding vampires accountable for their behavior.

** The entranced Jessica breaking her silver bonds.--> '''Antonia:''' We are no longer hidden. If we do nothing and wait, we shall be tortured, raped, murdered, eaten. But understand this: Vampires are not immortal. They're only harder to kill. And that is where our humanity is our great advantage, for our human spirits are immortal. I stand before you as living proof of this very fact. I have matched my human spirit against their emptiness, and I have won. Now I require your support, so we may do so again. Let us show these vampires the fury and power of the human spirit. We have waited 400 years for this. Who of you will join me?
