Yes, Damon came to them with a problem, and was told 'no, you are wrong, we are totally fine with this.' Which, reminds me a little bit of Pearl and Katherine being dismissive of the threat - Katherine far more.
Yeah, Damon was trying to problem-solve with them (I mean, if he'd just wanted to attack Bill for the hell of it, he didn't need to run after Alaric and Elena to catch them up on what was happening) and they were saying that there was no problem that needed to be solved. We're all just... going to be okay with Bill wanting to put vampire acid/poison in the water supply (ugh, imagine if he'd actually done that and then Caroline goes to take a shower).
Sometimes I am sure that Damon thinks 'if people would just be a little more proactive, I could relax more.'
I bet he thinks that ALL THE TIME. 'Why am I the only person trying to save all our asses and protect this family?'
As somebody who has suffered abuse for that very thing, Damon (as he mentioned to Bill earlier) does not think that Caroline needs fixing, and his sympathies were squarely with Caroline who got fucking tortured.
Yeah. And... I'm actually really sad about how submissive/accepting Caroline has been over how Bill has treated her. It's like she regresses to being a kid around him. It happens a lot with kids and their parents, but it makes me sad. He hurts her and she apologizes to him. We had the one moment where she tells him to 'grow up' but then nothing has really changed at the end of the episode except that Bill is leaving because Caroline has more firepower on her side than he can handle. But he still thinks that she's broken and wrong.
