Odd Man Out wrote: Really, I think people are overestimating the impact of this change on Layla. Most of her old memories deal with places and events that, frankly, don't matter much at the moment (unless she wants to write one hell of a history paper). She may have picked up a few new vampire tricks but for the most part I'm betting it'll still be a few decades to grow into anything like a real power.
If this was just a memory dump then why would everyone be reacting like they are regarding Layla? Aside from some dangerous knowledge Layla had to gain a lot of power in this resurrection for Blair to attempt to stake her. Moreover, Queen Lamia probably wouldn't want to be resurrected if she didn't have the same power she once did. It would actually be worse for someone with so many enemies whose descendants would want revenge and could now take it out on a vampire teenager. Layla is a vampire, but if the werewolf community knew they could beat up a powered down version of Lamia they'd take it.

Looks like Blair is literally and figuratively in the dog house now.

Good point. Let's see how this translates into QuintLayla's empire-building...

"Layla, sweetie, since we're being open here... You may take after my mother in that respect."
:D Oh, Eugene... I really hope to see more of you in the future.

Was she alive for a thousand years though? We know she's been "dead" a long time but not how long she lived when she was alive.

Oh, absolutely Puppy. Those inset panels were there for a reason.

Spent the night on a blood-fuelled rampage, culminating in performing a vampire sex act on her sister? Sure.
Sister's the reincarnation of an ancient (and fabulous) vampire queen? Whatever.
Doll's been dosing her with chocolate for fifteen years to stop her drinking blood? Cool with that.
Sister kisses boyfriend (possessed by doll)? WAR!

Seriously tho, who doesn't want their mother when they're miserable and in pain? Layla isn't immune to suffering.

Truth is revealed squealed Mulder! ... err Blair! Poor Puppy ... now where was that doll body?
Because Layla's her name now. I don't see why she should change her very own beloved name just because she's the reincarnation of an ancient vampire queen. Well she is their daughter and they have been keeping important secrets from her, they wouldn't want her to get all miffed and sad.

Unless Brooke rescued it (and she had more important things to worry about), the dolly is back at the place where moving pictures are displayed for public viewing.

Since when is Layla fickle, what reason is there to think Lamia was fickle and how is she a batch? There's only one of her.

She might be jealous because Layla was playing with her dolly.

Because she's the Queen of the Vampires™, look at the way Dio reacted. She may or may not have gained power, but knowing how to use the powers she already has with far greater effect could alone be a game changer.

He should be glad, he's grown too big for Layla to send him down the bog with a wet suit and a scrubbing brush. Also, the whole thing where he swore to follow Layla anywhere may be a mitigating factor.

Layla spake saying she'd received a thousand years worth of life experience when she briefly contemplated dropping out of school.

Byatch...not batch.

Layla grew up rather shallow, petty and despotic...Like Quintessa, still her alternate upbringing makes her a different person unless somehow the spell also suppresses any personality trait that is not purely quintessa-like which I doubt.

Such as....? :-\

'cuz the one I've seen is aloof, snarky, and generally means well. About the worst that can said about her, is the way she treats Ace sometimes. Yet we've seen that they've gotten along to.

I see, though if she had anything like an empire for even a portion of that time it lends even more support to the theory that the flashbacks we've seen were later fabrications/exaggerations. That is if she was really such an unstoppable genocidal killer who wiped out any opposition for centuries then one would think human civilization would have been more heavily damaged and taken note of their time under her thumb. Otherwise it would be like humanity somehow forgetting the black plague.

I just can't imagine the Lamia we've seen since her rebirth doing any/many of the horrible things we've heard about her in the past.

Boob envy, popularity matters, cliquey, envious. Sure average teenage girl but in line with Quintessa's overall personality minus the extremes. I am not dissing Layla I am sating in spite of that she is not the same person and likely will not be even after the memory dump.

There's also the chance her parents are trying to cover their bums and did indeed know what Blair was up to. They can't exactly admit they allowed a spy in the house.

Do I even need to say how effed up the situation at the Delacroix household is...?

I'm rather unnerved to see Maria on the verge of grovelling. I thought she was tougher than this.

Well, lookee here, the great vampire parents have become servile servants.

Obviously both of them have been in on it.

Let's see if the info about Blair is truth or falsehood.

If that were the case, Blair's right there within earshot. Wouldn't he have said they were lying about not knowing? Instead, his thoughts imply that his cover's been blown, which suggests they're telling the truth.

There's vampire hierarchy to consider, since it isn't uncommon to see children ruling over adults in (including their parents) in fiction. It's unclear whether Lamia was simply a vampire queen, or if she was the queen of vampire-kind. If it turns out to be the latter, it may be justified.
