Both of those things are good when done to an extent that doesn’t ruin the viewing experience and, as with past seasons, I’m glad the traumatic action-packed instalment has come a week before the actual finale. Knowing what’s to come has done two things – get everyone excited and invested in the last few episodes and forced us all to second-guess absolutely everything the show is doing with Elena. That said, neither character can do any wrong in my eyes, and at least their reasons for not being together right now are based in character and story, rather than contrived magical objects and memory wipes. With Delena on their way out, I guess we have to have an annoying on-off couple. Then there’s disappointment and exasperation as soon as her and Stefan sit down for a chat.
On the dreaded post-switch amends tour at the same time as making sure everything is just-so for the upcoming murder-wedding, the first feeling the whole thing brought up was joy and relief at having her back. The fun of the episode came from an unlikely source – a return of event-planner extraordinaire Caroline Forbes. No, this was ‘Matt the plot device’, helping Bonnie take care of Lily before Kai burst into the ceremony, so his issues have been shelved until such time the show decides to bring them up again. Maybe they’re perfect together but, unless she somehow leaves town with him this week, I guess we’ll never know (I hope she doesn’t leave town with him this week). He’s also terrible towards Liv again, and thank God she’s more adept at giving some of it back.
For a moment I thought we might double-up on bows tied for soon-to-be-over-relationships, but his somewhat sweet interaction with Caroline turned into him being defensive and horrible – much like when they were together. Its consequences will be monumental, and so far the lead-up has been handled really nicely.īut we can’t forget Tyler, and this episode saw him do his usual “monosyllabic goon” tour of douchebaggery to every ex-girlfriend he’s had over six years. As inconsequential as Elena has been for the last couple of seasons, removing her is undoubtedly the end of a massive chapter in the show’s history. But it’s a lovely gesture for Delena shippers, with the scene in which Damon reveals his intentions as close to a wedding as these two are ever going to get.
