butterfly"I don't really pursue younger women. ...it's a joke, Ric. Lighten up." Ha! I'm growing fond of you, Elijah.
Bonnie and Jeremy are turning into a slick, lying duo.
"Stuff that nobody knows. Stuff that you've never told me." And that he never would have if the world hadn't forced his hand.
"I want you to know the truth, but I want you to hear it from me."
I love how Stefan is all... "I can't stand the idea that Elena is learning new things about me that haven't been biased from my point of view. I really need to interject here, since she's finding it out anyway". When I say 'love', I mean that I love it from an 'interesting character' PoV but not from a 'healthy relationship' PoV. Because it's not very indicative of one, that Stefan keeps needing to do this - tell the truth because Elena has found it out anyway.
Oh! This scene! This flashback scene! Damon! Oh, my heart! He's all! And I! And oh! I don't know; I just love him.
"I'm done here, with you. I'm leaving town."
And Stefan's heart is all - no!! He begs for his brother to stay with him. He promises to be better (more pragmatic and careful) for Damon. Newly!vampire Stefan is so needy when it comes to his brother. Magnified emotions, mmmhmmm. He looks so heartbroken that Damon doesn't want to be around him.
"It sounds like you were Damon."
"I was worse."
And Stefan is all "ho-hum" until he hears that using the dagger will kill Damon if he uses it against Elijah and then he's all, fuck that shit. His big brother's in danger. That's all that matters.
Alaric saving Damon was completely fantastic. I loved that. Yay! And then Alaric stabbed Elijah. That was awesome. I literally clapped my hands in delight. Go Alaric! That was a genuine (and delightful) surprise.
"Once you can hurt, you can love."
It's interesting, actually, as this flashback goes on - it really does illustrate that what Stefan went through back then is what Damon is going through now. He's 'feeling it all' and with the pain, he can also feel love again.
"Everything is intensified when you're a vampire. When we hurt, we really hurt. When we love..."
"I am your friend, Damon."
Awwww. And good for you, Alaric, on all counts. You stand up for yourself.
"Elijah's dead." And you can actually see Elena bracing herself to hear the potential news about Damon and then the release of tension when Stefan says that Alaric is the one who killed Elijah.
Oh, shit. 'as long as the dagger stays in place'. Man, there are a lot of loopholes on this thing.
Also, huh, only one Original can be dead at a time. That presents a bit of a problem. They're going to need another dagger.
"Promise me you won't harm anyone that I love - even if they harmed you." She said 'care about' last time, didn't she? And then Elena hard-core stabs herself when he hesitates on making the deal. That girl; she is fierce. And she stabs him!
Is that Elena's first actual kill? I think that it is. And Damon brought her the dagger. Yay for teamwork.
That was even more awesome than the first time (this episode) that someone killed Elijah. I approve.
"Take it. It's yours. And after what you did to Damon, you're going to need it more than me."
I ♥ Alaric.
That flashback! Oh, Damon.
I suspected that Katherine was playing Damon (she's figured out that she can't use his love against him anymore, so she's down to old-fashioned reverse psychology). That was a great entrance, though. And, yay, more Katherine!
And on a different note: ELENA! That is what I'm talking about! This is how fantastic and amazing you can be when you decide to fight instead of giving up. Also, you take charge like nobody's business. It's hot.
