By giving Jeremy his life back, Bonnie essentially gave Elena her life back, too. Unencumbered by the sire bond, her grief, or a gaping hole where her humanity should be, Elena finally got to evaluate her love life with a clear head — and she chose to be with Damon. “In death, you’re the one that made me feel most alive,” Elena told him. Cue the mouth touching! Now, with her vampire boyfriend at her side, she might just be able to enjoy college. It’s been a rough few years for Damon when it comes to his love life — but Julie tells us it’s finally time for him to have some legitimate joy in his life. “Yes. Absolutely,” she says. “We’re going to get to see Damon trying to be a good boyfriend, and while it’s not going to be easy, he’s going to try like hell to make it work, and they’re going to have a real opportunity for happiness.” |
I love the order in which the last part of 4x23 happened. Elena slaps Damon because she’s SO angry at him for nearly dying on her on purpose, but even right after that, she goes downstairs to let Stefan go. She didn’t give Stefan the cure and let him go when things were good between her and Damon. She was ANGRY at Damon, not having any idea why he would do something like that to her. He made yet another decision that hurt her and she wasn’t okay with it. But even in the midst of all of that, she says goodbye to Stefan. Because she’s in love with Damon.
