That's one of the main reasons I ship Delena -- because Defan is the best thing about the show, and their relationship wouldn't be nearly as close as it is if Elena hadn't entered Damon's life.
Season 2 Damon to now shows how he’s matured and developed so much. He’s aware that both Elena and Bonnie can live, just not at the same time. He waited 145 years for Katherine and that was nowhere close to how he feels about Elena, now he just has to wait again for the love of his life.
Fun fact: Delena is tvdu’s only awarded ship, won multiple polls, brands used them for advertising, they are mentioned for their strong love in other shows/in other books outside of tvdu, and apart from all their other awards they are the only TV couple to have two PCA awards. They are really THAT ship, unmatched ❤️
Rick being alone with Jo's body is heartbreaking. So much going on, that nobody can be there with him. Kai is bloody diabolical. Bonnie really deserves better, the show does her dirty at every turn. Glad Damon came through, the beheading is perfect. Great finale.
Delena both calling each other the love of their life, I’m soft. He really said “Ready to spend the next 60 years of my life without you in it? Who’s ever gonna be ready for that” 😭
Elena Gilbert a character so hated because she was confused for two brothers, because she chose Damon and left Stefan and because everyone tried to save her by being a doppelganger but even if she didn't have an explosive character she is a very beautiful character who deserves more credit , is a character who once liked so much in a noble, sensitive woman, the girl next door, kind, delicate.
@@cielhigh4401 Yes, this is not my favorite character because I would have liked them to give him more character however I find exaggerated those who hate her for the things I have listed ... once upon a time characters like Elena's were appreciated for a woman deserved more credit today annoys you prefer the svampite.
I think she definitely deserves more credit as an actress for sure (she plays so many different role combos and does amazingly well) and the character has a lot of trauma at a very young age However she’s not confused- people just keep telling her she is. She loved both of them. It’s that easy and it’s okay. And she didn’t have to be like Katherine to explore that. Yes polyamory exists- no it is not cheating. (Nor do I support cheating) I do like the storyline where it got cleaned up and she and Stefan became good friends though. I love vampire diaries but it has many issues.
So this was actually Nina’s departure from the show, so this is how they did it so it wasn’t permanent just incase. Everyone knew she was leaving by this point so I think it’s also fine for you to know now too!
Elena saying “what are you going to do” and then saying “I knew what you were going to do” when Damon tells her that she could’ve told him what to do is something so underrated. They know each other so well and despite him calling himself selfish and others thinking he is as well, she knows that he’s truly not. She didn’t doubt for a second that he would do the right thing. He can wait some years to be with her, her life isn’t at risk. This isn’t life or death for Elena but if he kills Bonnie then that’s it, she’s gone and it’s not something that Elena would ever be okay with either since Bonnie is both of their best friend.
Yes to all of this. When Elena asked him what he was going to do, I think her main concern had nothing to do with him in any way harming Bonnie, but with his other suggestion of going on the "starvation diet" and desiccating while waiting for her.
I think Elenas life would have been worse if she didn't bump into stefan in the hallway because Klaus would have come and taken her and no one would have been trying to save her
literally! she is a petrova doppelganger. If the brothers didn't come into her life there is a very good chance her life would've been in danger either way. Like you said, Klaus eventually would've found out about her being a human lookalike of Katherine and tracked her down.
@@kaileyhall8770 exactly if anything Stefan and Damon's lives would have been alot safer if they didn't run into Elena! Either way Klaus would have found her as Katherine came to mystic falls looking for Elena to get her freedom back.
Even though Elena isn’t my favorite character and I can find her frustrating at times, I understand how important her character is to this show and universe and the shows absolutely gets worse after her exit. There’s just like no direction which sucks because I genuinely think it could have still been great without her but the writers were clearly lost and tried too many ideas and then decided to start ruining characters. So I’ll probably watch a few episodes here and there in 7 and then come back for the end of 8. Can’t wait till The Originals!!
I actually love season 7 and 8 so much especially that the focus were the other characters and not just Elena. It got darker and the brothers' relationship got stronger.
EPONINE I just find those seasons to be the weakest of the series and it’s not even because Elena isn’t there it’s just the writing overall feels very messy. I’m glad that a lot more focus was out on the brothers especially towards the end of both seasons but I wasn’t a fan of how they kind of retread the same issues they had already dealt with and worked through. Like they were creating drama between the two of them just to do it and not because it made sense. Overall there’s just way too much going on in season 7 particularly and dropped/uneven plot lines all over the place
@@pgiffon I think the issue with uneven and repetitive storylines/unnecessary drama is a general TVD problem, unfortunately. Season 8 is messy, I agree, but in general, I think season 7 and season 8 were a lot better than some other previous seasons (*cough* season 4 and 5 *cough*). I'm looking forward to season 7 especially. Hopefully you can still enjoy some reactions or are looking forward to some moments! :)
@@4Tom4lepus4 Oh i'll definitely still be checking in for certain episodes cause there are still things to enjoy for sure. I do agree the unnecessary drama is a staple of the show however when you get into the later seasons it just becomes harder to swallow because we've already done so many of these things a lot at that point. And unfortunately I find season 7 to be the worst season of the series (5 is right behind it though) This is vague spoilers but I feel season 7 could have been really strong especially with the set up of the heretics, but they fall flat and are wasted, and the the show quickly moves on through more villains that I think needed more development and could have had like longer and full arcs. For some reason they blaze through plots in season 7 without any second thought and I think the characters suffer as well (where as in season 5 we have bad plots but great character moments) season 7 is bad plots, bad villains, and bad character decisions so there's just no saving grace for me there
I love how Elena reassured Bonnie and told her not to feel guilty bc it wasn’t her fault. The feather moment 😭 (also Jer she was not a shitty friend, all she ever did was want to protect her friends and loved ones. Even in s2 with Klaus, Elena didn’t want Bonnie sacrificing herself for her and offered her life multiple times in place of other people. She saved them to the best of her ability even as a human and I could make a long list of all the times). No Elena slander will be tolerated in this episode 💔
They wrote the season 6 finale like this because Nina Dobrev decided to exit the show after season 6. I'm glad they wrote it this way instead so it's not permanent. Her choice I think that is partly why everything seemed so fast with the whole her becoming human again plotline. But ugh this episode gets me in the feels every time i see it 💔
This is truly the end of an era for this show, and it kickstarts the final stretch of episodes. This episode was heartbreaking but really good. This season was honestly fantastic from start to finish! Kai is my favorite villain from the show. I wouldn’t listen to people who say the show goes downhill from here. I thoroughly enjoyed the last two seasons. I will say it takes awhile to get used to Elena not being there, but they don’t forget about her. She’s mentioned a lot and you still feel her presence in the show, which is great! Season 7 isn’t my favorite season, but it’s got some amazing episodes and moments. If you enjoy the brother’s bond, there’s a lot of great Damon and Stefan moments coming up. There’s also a lot of Bonnie and Damon friendship moments and Steroline’s relationship is focused on heavily. They really did everything they could to make the last part of the show great, while not having Nina there for the most part. Season 6 really fed us on the Delena moments for good reason. Their relationship is beautiful and extremely well done up to this point and for the rest of the series.
I think the problem with season 7 was they tried to fill up the show with too many plots so we wouldn’t feel like we needed Elena. In the end it was messy, drawn out and made me just really want to get to the end of the season. I was done with those flash forward scenes after the first couple episodes.
@@yoleanna the writers were understandably thrown not to have Elena around, they usually have the story revolve around Elena. You can even tell it got messy end of season 6 because the season failed to be centered around something. Usually Elena centers the show.
It really did! I do still enjoy season 7 & 8 though. There is some good moments in there despite those seasons being probably the weaker ones. But yeah the show does change without her.
End of a freaking era. Nina leaving the show felt endlessly depressing to me. Elena is still one of my favorite female characters of all time. ♥ I started enjoying Nina's flawless acting during TVD, and supported her ever since, but her leaving truly marked a huge chunk of this show being gone, too. TVD was great, but never the same afterwards. P.S. I know Elena is not everyone's cup of tea, I understand that, but I am just sharing my own feelings on it.
Vague Spoilers: I agree. Even though a lot of people dislike Elena, you still have to acknowledge that most of the show’s best storylines revolved around her. With that said, I think a show focused on the bond between Stefan and Damon could’ve been really great… but for some reason the writers just don’t really do that? They just keep adding increasingly lackluster villains and pointless storylines instead of focusing on the characters/relationships that people still care about.
@@LS13. That’s why I put “Vague Spoilers” at the beginning. I don’t think I revealed anything that hasn’t been said several times in other comments, I was just agreeing that I disliked the show’s new direction. But if you think I revealed too much, you could just tell me that without the facepalming.
L. S okay but he literally just watched the episode and talked about the show without her for a second so I’m pretty sure he knows and even if he didn’t he absolutely needs to at this point. Because this man is still waiting for Jeremy to come back and expecting Jeremy to be there even though Jeremy left the show many episodes ago. If anything that will help his viewing experience more because he’s not waiting on people that will never arrive and can finally process them being gone and push forward in the watch
@@LS13. i’m sorry but at the point of posting this, he’s far ahead of us and definitely knows what goes on. We’re not spoiling the upcoming plot, Nina leaving is widespread knowledge for like years now, plus he’s well into season 7 at this point and he knows she’s gone.
I can't believe how fast this season went by...the best season is already over. And not only is season 6 over, but so is the good part of tvd (just my opinion). I'm actually sad
an end of an era :( good luck with the next 2 seasons haha. i wish someone wished me luck when i started season 7 going forth lmao. can't wait to see your reaction!
one of my favorite moments of this show is the shock of the wedding them killing off jo and the kids, and damon faking out kai and slicing his head off. him =mentioning that heads would be rolling earlier in the episode makes it that much better
And Damon literraly warned Kai at the hospital. He told him that he would start beheading people starting with Kai. I guess he was't just messing around 😂
Who’s doing it like delena, they fought time, space, and the universe to be together. Memory loss, Damon in the prison world, the travelers spell, and now a sleeping spell. No ship in any show is touching them for me, soulmates.
People started appreciating Elena only when she left the show and they sew how boring season 7 (and 8) is without her. The show went downhill very quickly after that:(
@@azrael_pendragon elena wasnt that annoying thoo she act like most females today her crying alot dont make her annoying it just means shes got feelings only thing i agree on bout her is she made some things bout ha but some things she was just trinna help people
This season I liked Elena more than the last 3 seasons combined. Especially the last few episodes. And her scene with Bonnie where she acknowledges her constant sacrifices for her really gets to me.
I understand why Enzo getting get a goodbye scene because their isn’t any history there but imagine if the Mikaelson’s was still around and Elena saying goodbye to them to play on that nostalgia because those rivalries/we tolerate each other relationships has been built up. I feel like for Elijah it would be the scene in 4x18, Rebekah in 3x08 or 3x15, and Klaus would be 4x06.
So many are sad after this but I enjoyed the characters these next two seasons, it’s actually not bad. Instead of other focuses the show began focusing on stefan and Damon and their brotherhood as well as some friendships etc. those who say it got bad are just people who watched and enjoyed the show for the romantic/ship things 🙄
It’s not bad after. They did hella well with the plot lines and the story. The people who hate it just because the main ships are technically now gone since elena is out of the picture... need to see past the whole romance stuff
@@LS13. Nah.... TVD was't the same without her. It seemed writers did't have any idea what to do after her exit. All the storylines in season 7 were lame and season 8 became even worse.
I love how Kai literally never took anything seriously 💀 Not even his own death. I enjoyed his villainy because he absolutely revelled in it. There was no redemption. Just murder and vibes.
Genuinely I think this was such a perfect goodbye episode for Elena/Nina. The fact that they gave her moments with every character and so many of the actors were genuinely crying😭 all the goodbyes were so sweet. I do think knowing this was Nina’s last* episode makes the impact hit so much more cause otherwise I think it’s natural to assume she would be okay and returning quickly until all the goodbyes start. Also can someone please tell him JEREMY IS GONE. He has left the showwwww. I just feel bad cause he keeps waiting for him to come back and I’m like nah he’s done lol
Nina actually left in season 6 because she wanted to do different projects so they wrote it this way in case she wanted to come back. I have to admit this is one of my favorite episodes because of all the throwbacks they did, like the pillow and feathers which was a flashback of season 1 i believe.
Alaric truly has the worst luck in women... and I say that in a very sad way. When Stefan says "in the end I needed him more than her", about his relationships to Damon and Elena for me thats such a beautiful moment and also I think a very important thing about the triangle between them. The goodbyes to Elena always make me so emotional, the Delena dance scene is the most emotional/sad for me though. 😭 Delena kinda was what I started the show for and has and will always be my fave tvd romantic ship, even if I love others a lot too. 🙈🥺
Interesting scene I noticed at 7:35 Kai pulled his father to him with magic, hope in legacies when she was in transition didn't have her magic until she completed the transition...
The ending scene with Damon on the Tower Mystic Falls a waste land and Matt patrol made me think the next season was gonna be wild. I know a lot of people don't like it but for me it's my favorite Season.
This episode is a masterpiece I love the fact that they have mixed up Elena's thoughts with what is currently going on with Ric's marriage, it’s incomprehensible at first but after all is understandable and it's so sad 😥
I mean, her friends do always end up sacrificing a lot to save her. They definitely wouldn’t have so much loss if Elena and also Damon were not in there lives, but it isn’t always Elena’s fault because she can’t always control those situations. Sometimes people are just loyal to a fault, and characters like Stefan and Bonnie definitely have martyr streaks, so they are usually the ones that end up being the sacrificial lambs for the benefit of usually Elena and Damon.
The stelena goodbye always makes me cry.. And I'm not a Delena but I will never understand why they didn't make them dance the miss mystic fall dance instead of that weird choreography, I think it would have been so much iconic Anyway in this ep Stefan says what he has always shown..he loves his brother more than anything and anyone else no matter what..
important note for the last two seasons: don't overanalyze or theorize just watch and enjoy. there are some plotholes and even a bit of weird character "development" but still, if you just try to enjoy it i promise that you will :)
I think I am among the few who loves season 7 I think it is of a unique importance first of all for Defan but especially for Damon to understand his drama and his problems and also many things about Stefan, you can there is Damon and Bonnie 😍. It is an important season that must be understood.
Stefan finally very reasonable comes to us very slowly because he tends to lie to himself but when he comes to reason he says sacred things ... I always said that Stefan loved Elena but he was not vital in his life so it was for Elena.
2:30 "When your family decides that you are nothing but an irredeemable piece of trash, well the best thing to do is prove them right, right." Kai parker And do you remember when Damon said he was happy to let Bonnie die if it meant getting Elena alive
Well this is where I take my leave😭 as delena fan there was nothing pulling me to the show anymore and I did not like steroline enough so... Yh I’ll be back for the series finale and when u start the originals💕
THE BONNIE AND ELENA SCENE MAKES ME CRY EVERYTIME
THE FEATHERS
I KNOW. that scene hit hard
@@reeseelizabeth2889 the feathers are so symbolic of their friendship that it makes it all the more emotional to the scene.
Damon’s panic when Elena isn’t waking up and Stefan saying how Elena brought him closer to Damon 💔
That's one of the main reasons I ship Delena -- because Defan is the best thing about the show, and their relationship wouldn't be nearly as close as it is if Elena hadn't entered Damon's life.
Elena’s moments with Damon, Jeremy, Caroline, Bonnie, Alaric, Matt, and Tyler were so beautiful she said the sweetest things to all of them 😭
I know it was all so sweet 😭
Where's Stefan

one of my favorite moments of this show is the shock of the wedding them killing off jo and the kids, and damon faking out kai and slicing his head off.
him =mentioning that heads would be rolling earlier in the episode makes it that much better
And Damon literraly warned Kai at the hospital. He told him that he would start beheading people starting with Kai. I guess he was't just messing around 😂
Who’s doing it like delena, they fought time, space, and the universe to be together. Memory loss, Damon in the prison world, the travelers spell, and now a sleeping spell. No ship in any show is touching them for me, soulmates.
People started appreciating Elena only when she left the show and they sew how boring season 7 (and 8) is without her. The show went downhill very quickly after that:(
I preferred it without her. S7 and S8 felt refreshing to me cus of the no elena drama.
@@azrael_pendragon they should've took caroline too
@@bmgdann1023 yeah caroline was annoying af. Her, elena and Matt.
@@azrael_pendragon elena wasnt that annoying thoo she act like most females today her crying alot dont make her annoying it just means shes got feelings only thing i agree on bout her is she made some things bout ha but some things she was just trinna help people
@@bmgdann1023 she is also selfish.
SHe killed kol which killed an entire sire line to get a cure for herself, like she is a hypocrite.
god even in elenas finale moments you’re saying bad stuff about her 😭
'crys in Elena style' no no no no no I can't do this anymore I can't I can't '
Im gonna start doing that and if someone gets it, were becoming friends ahahahha
@@ihsane220 Dont even mention that scene, omg. I m gonna cry all over again, aaaaahhh
@@marita2g I swear 😭, its so powerful
@@ihsane220 It is. 😭😭
This season I liked Elena more than the last 3 seasons combined. Especially the last few episodes. And her scene with Bonnie where she acknowledges her constant sacrifices for her really gets to me.
the feathers scene gets me every time…all the nostalgia from season 1
This episode will never fail to make me cry
I understand why Enzo getting get a goodbye scene because their isn’t any history there but imagine if the Mikaelson’s was still around and Elena saying goodbye to them to play on that nostalgia because those rivalries/we tolerate each other relationships has been built up. I feel like for Elijah it would be the scene in 4x18, Rebekah in 3x08 or 3x15, and Klaus would be 4x06.
Elijah there would have been really cool
I literally sprinted home from watching the Euro cup game (at a local restaurant) to home for this
Cute^^
YOU. ARE. A. LEGEND!
So many are sad after this but I enjoyed the characters these next two seasons, it’s actually not bad. Instead of other focuses the show began focusing on stefan and Damon and their brotherhood as well as some friendships etc. those who say it got bad are just people who watched and enjoyed the show for the romantic/ship things 🙄
You don’t realize how wrong u are about saying the show is gonna be better😭
I don’t think it gets better but I don’t think it gets worse either honestly. I have mix feelings on it.
It’s not bad after. They did hella well with the plot lines and the story. The people who hate it just because the main ships are technically now gone since elena is out of the picture... need to see past the whole romance stuff
It's all jokes when I say silly stuff like that. Just to stir the pot a little bit ;)
@@LS13. Nah.... TVD was't the same without her. It seemed writers did't have any idea what to do after her exit. All the storylines in season 7 were lame and season 8 became even worse.
It does get better infact...elena leaving is the best thing👀👀
kai siphoning that werewolf bite- yup!
I love how Kai literally never took anything seriously 💀 Not even his own death. I enjoyed his villainy because he absolutely revelled in it. There was no redemption. Just murder and vibes.
Damon clearly took notes from Elijah, over here hacking heads off. 🤣
Genuinely I think this was such a perfect goodbye episode for Elena/Nina. The fact that they gave her moments with every character and so many of the actors were genuinely crying😭 all the goodbyes were so sweet. I do think knowing this was Nina’s last* episode makes the impact hit so much more cause otherwise I think it’s natural to assume she would be okay and returning quickly until all the goodbyes start. Also can someone please tell him JEREMY IS GONE. He has left the showwwww. I just feel bad cause he keeps waiting for him to come back and I’m like nah he’s done lol
20:47 stefan waiting for Caroline - Rmbr he told liz that he's a patient guy😭💜
Nina actually left in season 6 because she wanted to do different projects so they wrote it this way in case she wanted to come back. I have to admit this is one of my favorite episodes because of all the throwbacks they did, like the pillow and feathers which was a flashback of season 1 i believe.
Alaric truly has the worst luck in women... and I say that in a very sad way.
When Stefan says "in the end I needed him more than her", about his relationships to Damon and Elena for me thats such a beautiful moment and also I think a very important thing about the triangle between them.
The goodbyes to Elena always make me so emotional, the Delena dance scene is the most emotional/sad for me though. 😭
Delena kinda was what I started the show for and has and will always be my fave tvd romantic ship, even if I love others a lot too. 🙈🥺
The show without Elena will not be better…
Actually 7/8 are the weakeast seasons.
Glad that we gonna have The Originals soon. 🙏🏻
i LOVE heretic kai sm
my favourite species are heretics plus kai is my favourite character after klaus
THIS MAN IS GONNA BE SO CONFUSED NEXT EPISODE😭💀 also the way you just keep coming for tyler cracks me up
XD
FINALLY!! I’ve been waiting for your reaction to this episode!
Interesting scene I noticed at 7:35 Kai pulled his father to him with magic, hope in legacies when she was in transition didn't have her magic until she completed the transition...
So ready for the next season I know it won't be till Monday cause the recap is 2morrow. Excited for you to experience it
The ending scene with Damon on the Tower Mystic Falls a waste land and Matt patrol made me think the next season was gonna be wild. I know a lot of people don't like it but for me it's my favorite Season.
I wish Elena never left
This episode is a masterpiece I love the fact that they have mixed up Elena's thoughts with what is currently going on with Ric's marriage, it’s incomprehensible at first but after all is understandable and it's so sad 😥
Goodbyes here we go: goodbye Jo, Liv, the Gemini’s, Kai, and Elena
Ugh, one of my favorite seasons was the one that makes me cry.
whole lot of death
Elena doesn't deserve this, she wasn't a shitty friend at all. It was someone else...
Agreed! Was about to say that, Elena has not been a shitty friend.
I mean, her friends do always end up sacrificing a lot to save her. They definitely wouldn’t have so much loss if Elena and also Damon were not in there lives, but it isn’t always Elena’s fault because she can’t always control those situations. Sometimes people are just loyal to a fault, and characters like Stefan and Bonnie definitely have martyr streaks, so they are usually the ones that end up being the sacrificial lambs for the benefit of usually Elena and Damon.
the dreaded episode, end of an era🥲😭
4:56 JEREMY IS RUTHLESS WITH IT 😂😂😂😂
XD
The stelena goodbye always makes me cry..
And I'm not a Delena but I will never understand why they didn't make them dance the miss mystic fall dance instead of that weird choreography, I think it would have been so much iconic
Anyway in this ep Stefan says what he has always shown..he loves his brother more than anything and anyone else no matter what..
Damn I can’t believe he is on season 7 already
same! shits wild
The Delena dance just gonna ended me
THE FKN SONG
Batman Damon!! That was my fist thought after seeing him in the clocktower too aha
Elena 😭♥️
Rip Jo. Rip Kai. Rip Liv. Rip Elena.
You know Elena is not dead, right?
@@erieluvie0905 rip whilst you sleep she might not be dead but she should still rest in peace
@@tillyct8937 oh okay then, I guess.
@@erieluvie0905 😂😂
GUYS HE LITERALLY ONLY HAS ONE MORE FULL SEASON LEFT 🥺🥺 the end of an era of having 22 episodes
sad reacts only
I wish you included Elena calling bonnie Damon's best friend🥺
The saddest tvd episode tied with 6x14..After this season finale everything started to go downhill
This episode 🥺 the next one is season 7 and honestly I'm really happy it's a good season, I find it underrated
"I don't think so, I think the show will be a little bit better." LMAOOOO
important note for the last two seasons: don't overanalyze or theorize just watch and enjoy. there are some plotholes and even a bit of
weird character "development" but still, if you just try to enjoy it i promise that you will :)
The actors who play Elena, Jeremy, and Tyler left the show.
“when your family decides that you’re nothing but an irredeemable piece of trash, well I guess the best thing to do is prove them right, right?” 😏
Wait- WE ARE READY WITH SEASON 6?! WHY DO I WANT TO CRY
I think I am among the few who loves season 7 I think it is of a unique importance first of all for Defan but especially for Damon to understand his drama and his problems and also many things about Stefan, you can there is Damon and Bonnie 😍. It is an important season that must be understood.
Bonnie and Damon’s friendship/relationship will never be outmatched
him saying the show will be better with out her….oh sir you have no idea how wrong u are about that
He is RIGHTT. SHE KEEPS RANTING ABOUT HERSELF ALL THE TIME ITS IRRITATING
@@scrapper2022 it's the lie you tell yourself
Don't talk to me for a year
Stefan finally very reasonable comes to us very slowly because he tends to lie to himself but when he comes to reason he says sacred things ... I always said that Stefan loved Elena but he was not vital in his life so it was for Elena.
2:30
"When your family decides that you are nothing but an irredeemable piece of trash, well the best thing to do is prove them right, right."
Kai parker
And do you remember when Damon said he was happy to let Bonnie die if it meant getting Elena alive
15:27 loved this misdirect. Damon went from always choosing Elena to choosing bonnie too🥺😭💜
did u forget what happens to the rest of the coven when the leader dies....... thats why 3:15
Nina wanted to leave the Show. So they had to write her out...
my top seasons are 3,4, and 6
I'm kind of on this same page
This episode is so sad, and closed one of the best seasons of the show.
Well !! Damon clearly warned Kai that He would start beheading people that he didn't like starting with him, if Elena does't wake up.
16:28 "him and bon-bon been through it"💜
I'm going into hibernation
"kai was great, I'm just messing with you guys" you better be😂
Saddest episode in TVD history 😭😭
Edit - second saddest episode in TVD history
Goodbye Elena and Nina. You will be missed ❤️🥺
I know one which is even sadder
@@melozn-u1s I know too
@@lolobbs8037 I don’t wanna spoil it to anyone BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF WE ARE THINKING THE SAME
@@melozn-u1s I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL TOO BUT when I saw this episode I was feeling epic 😉
@@lolobbs8037 oof you are right!!
“Elena wake your dumb ass up” 😂😂😂 literally me
XD
only two more seasons left 😧
Stefan saying he was gonna wait for Care however long, is so heartwarming. Also fireplaces and her front porch is their place.
Well this is where I take my leave😭 as delena fan there was nothing pulling me to the show anymore and I did not like steroline enough so... Yh I’ll be back for the series finale and when u start the originals💕
All good! See you then
