2) Lexi Dies
Lexi, Lexi, Lexi. How we miss thee...
When Lexi first jumped on her friend Stefan to surprise him for his 162nd birthday, I knew I was going to fall in love with her. Then they sealed that prediction by playing The Birthday Massacre's "Happy Birthday" after her introduction. Aww, memories... Lexi proved to be another viable character with a rich history that could've been a great help to the character study of Stefan, as well as been a great foil for Damon. She bonded quickly with Elena and won over the viewers all in under thirty minutes of the episode. You couldn't help but think this girl would be a recurring character for awhile, right? Wrong. By episode's end, Damon drove a stake into Lexi's heart to cover his own vampire tracks from the Council, as well as inflict more pain to Stefan. He might as well had drove a stake in the hearts of the audience as well. Bastard. God only knows what Lexi could've brought to the overall picture, but TPTB (Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson) thought otherwise. R.I.P., Lexi. We will miss you as well...
1) Katherine's Impromptu Return To Mystic Falls
The Bitch Is BACK!!! I don't know if there is any other way to describe the awesomeness that was Katherine's return at the end of
"Founders' Day", because it was expected, but NOT in the way we got it, which is why I dub it the ultimate "bitch slap" moment of the season. Katherine finally reared her head in present day Mystic Falls and even though she has only took out that bastard Johnathan Gilbert, her potential blood shed is even more frightening. Add in that Elena is now practically alone in the house with her, and your blood just turns COLD! Before we could even get a frame of a run in between the two doppelgangers, the TVD title card smacks us across the face AGAIN! How could your face NOT be sore after a move like that? Now, we have to wait an entire summer to see what happens, and if this finale didn't urge you to come back this fall then whatever you are smoking is something lethal and should be banned from existence IMMEDIATELY!
So that's all of them: the Top Ten "Bitch-Slapper" Moments of The Vampire Diaries' first season. If your hand went to your cheek during any of these moments, or any other moment this season, and you felt pain, then you had a "bitch-slap" moment. Discuss below and please feel free to add to the list. See you guys next fall!

Great list, Mark! Of course mine were pretty much all the same as yours (minus Grams dying/plus I would have added Jeremy wanting to turn and Anna being staked by Mayor Fell), since we seem to have Twin Brain Syndrome (well, I am 20 years older, and female, but besides that… ;) I was getting worried that you were forgetting Lexi's death. I am wondering if I would leave Tyler off the list and maybe have Jonathon being killed by Damon to being living again 2 minutes later.You are right, there *are* waaay too many bitch-slap, jaw-droppin, HOLY SH*T screaming moments on this show! C'mon, September!
ummmm your forgetting something…. ELENA LETTING STEFAN DRINK HER BLOOD AND JEREMY BEING TURNED!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT ABOUT VICKI'S BODY BEING FOUND!?!!? THE RETURN OF LOGAN FELL!!! DAMON THREATENING STEFAN TO TURN ELENA!!!!! THE DAMON AND ELENA/KATHERINE KISS!!!!! ISOBEL'S RETURN!!!!! ALARIC COMING BACK TO LIFE!!!!! ahhhhh i love vampire diaries so muchh!!!!
Loved this! Love the show! As a "senior citizen", TVD could be considered a health benefit. Each episode gives me multiple adrenalin rushes…enough to keep me going for another week, at any rate. For the summer, I will rely on past episodes as I faithfully used my DVR each week.

These were totally Bitch-Slap moments. But I think you missed 1. The Moment when Damon reveals he is in love with Elena and plans to steal her away from Stefan. That was a total Bitch-Slap moment
