Shockingly, and I’ll add disappointingly, Alaric is going along with her tantrum and we spend the episode with the pair as they determine when exactly Elena fell for Damon. Remember when Damon was the best character on the show? Let’s get that back, preferably with 90s hip-hop dancing, flannel shirts and pancakes.īack in reality, where things are as doomed and gloomy as we remember, Elena is still sticking to her plan to erase Damon from her mind. Despite knowing that this is almost certainly going to be the most important storyline set-up so far, we as an audience can also enjoy them a little more. Matt helped Sarah look through some files and told her about Stefan and Damon.It also gives Ian Somerhalder lots of opportunity to give the audience Lost nostalgia (“where are we?” “we’re not alone” etc.) and gives both of the actors room outside of the unruly ensemble to have some fun with their ridiculous characters. Jeremy smashed his phone to pieces after realizing Bonnie was most likely never coming back. Elena realized Jo must be a witch.Ĭaroline still refused to forgive Stefan.

Alaric is now human which means no reverse compulsion for Elena.Įarlier on in the day Jo had confronted Elena that she knew what she and Alaric were. Jo saved Alaric using medicine, rather than dragging him back over the border. Stefan bravely saved Damon and Enzo, but Jo actually got to Ric before he could go back. He sprung into attack but Tripp floored the gas and now Damon, Enzo, and Ric were all over the border. They met by the road leading into town and Alaric created a diversion, but Tripp wouldn't fall for it. When Elena realized something was up, she called Alaric and everyone sprung into action. When Elena finally agreed to a face-to-face Damon was tranquilized by Tripp's little army and taken to the truck where Enzo was. Damon was pissy, but he at least wanted to see her. In Alaric's words, she loved him so much it was killing her. But first Stefan had to break it to him that Elena compelled away her memories of him. After a hugging it out with Stefan, he gave him an abbreviated explanation for where he's been and set out to see Elena. Damon returned from 1994 on The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 6.
