After watching this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, my Delena loving is heart is breaking! The main plot of the episode revolves around Damon and Stefan teaming up to save Elena from some Twilight wanna-be vampires who want to trade Elena to the Originals (old ass vampires) for their own lives. Apparently, Katharine and Elena actually come from a long line of doppelgangers who need to die to break the vampire curse. Anyway, back to my Damon, on Damon and Stefan’s road trip, Damon is constantly reminded that Stefan loves Elena and she loves him. The point is driven home in the heartbreaking form of Damon staking the big bad and looking up at a saved Elena who is smiling, only to discover that she’s smiling at Stefan and running into his arms, not Damon’s. The look in his devastated eyes as he tries to hide the pain – heart breaking! Elena looks over to him and mouths ‘thank you’ which seems to be turning into some sort of tradition with them. (Honestly, Damon does all the heavy lifting and Stefan gets the snuggling – so unfair! He can come over here. I’ll appreciate him –lol!)
Later on, when they get home, Stefan tells Damon that he’s sorry for turning him into a vampire. Damon turns away and leaves. Then, Damon shows up at Elena’s to return her vervain necklace that the big bad had taken from her. He tells her that he loves her and that he is going to do the selfless thing and let her go because Stefan deserves her and he doesn’t. Then he says he wishes she would remember this, kisses her on the forehead and as one tear drops from his eye he compels her to forget and puts the necklace on her and disappears before she even knows he was there. See, I can’t even type that with out rambling and crying again. There are tears on the keyboard!
This heart wrenching moment is angsty goodness and a huge turning point for Damon. He is putting someone else’s needs before his own. He loves Elena so much that he is willing to let her go. Technically, I guess he’s putting two someone else’s before himself – Elena and Stefan. He loves her and his brother and wants them to be happy and thinks Stefan’s better for her than he is. The ironic thing is that loving Elena is what makes Damon become a better man, it makes him discover his humanity again – but ultimately he has to let her go to be the good man she sees in him. Damn, this show is so good it hurts. Sigh.
Now, I guess we’ll see if Elena will remember this moment, in spite of Damon compelling her not too. Maybe she was brushing her teeth with vervain toothpaste? Or made some supernatural thing will happen and at a very dramatic moment – that’s when she’ll remember and the realization showing across her face will be so worth the wait. Yeah, I think I’d like that even better – I vote for that one! Anyway, right now Damon and Elena are at the right stage, we know just how much he loves her and we’re all dying to find out what her reaction will be when she finds out just how much. In the meantime, I’ll be watching the heart-breaking angst as it unfolds: cursing, crying, throwing things and loving every moment of the emotional rollercoaster ride.
Now, what do you say we watch that heart-breaking ending again? I can’t seem to stop myself!!!
