‘The Vampire Diaries’ Recap: Katherine Gets The Cure, Elena Professes Love To Damon
The Vampire Diaries' season finale started off with Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) trying to rally those who died in the massacre to do something big for Graduation Day. Meanwhile, Lexi (Arielle Kebbel) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) were celebrating Stefan’s graduation and the upcoming apocalypse dancing at the Salvatore Mansion. Bonnie (Kat Graham) was somewhat less enthusiastic about the impending matriculation, suggesting to Caroline (Candice Accola) that they cancel it; she doesn’t want people to know she’s dead.
Elena (Nina Dobrev), Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Alaric (Matthew Davis) hang out in the courtyard of the Salvatore Mansion eating burgers and fries. Elena begins to shed happy tears, but then she learns from Connor (Todd Williams) that Alexander (Paul Telfer) has Matt (Zach Roerig) standing on a bomb. Then Vaughn (Charlie Bewley) shows up and shoots Damon, relaying the message that The Hunters were in search of the cure and Silas. Stefan sneaks up behind him and rips his heart out before he can share Connor’s threat to harm everyone celebrating their graduation at the Mystic Grill.
Connor, strapped with explosives at the grill, is all ready to make good on the threat. But Alaric gets there in time to save the day. Just as Connor detonates the bomb, Alaric carries him off to explode a safe distance away from the bar.
Katherine, enraged that Bonnie has yet to deliver on her promise of immortality, threatens to kill Elena. Coming to Elena’s defense, Bonnie beings to crush her with a magical headache when students approach, breaking up the confrontation all together.
Back at the Salvatore house, Elena rejects Damon’s gift of the cure. Jeremy, resolved to Elena’s vampire status, says it's ultimately her choice. In any case, who’s really in danger at the moment is Damon. The bullet Vaughn shot him with was laced with werewolf venom and the wound isn’t healing. Elena tries to get Damon to take the cure so that he could become human and live, but he too rejects it.
Matt and Rebekah (Claire Holt), who had agreed to go travelling together after graduation, are trying to figure out what to do about the bomb. Matt claims that if she detonates the bomb he would have a shot at living because he’s wearing the Gilbert ring. She kisses him to lure him off the block and take his place because she knows that she can’t be killed. When she moves, the bomb goes off and everyone's okay.
Despite her worry over Damon, who’d left to go find Silas, Elena is forced to go to her graduation. She and Stefan meet up with Bonnie, Caroline and Matt. Bonnie eventually sneaks off with Kol who tells her about his army of ghosts. Meanwhile, Damon gets shot more times by Vaughn before Alaric snaps the villains neck and considers forcing Damon to take the cure. Damon eventually heals because Klaus has given him his blood.
After everyone knows that Damon is alright, Elena takes Stefan aside and thanks him for not giving up on her during her crazier days, and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) gifts Caroline with the return of her first love, Tyler. Then, Elena returns to the Salvatore Mansion and confesses her love to Damon, leaving Stefan completely heartbroken. Lexi catches him eavesdropping and offers a shoulder to cry on. He decides it’s time to leave, and Lexi helps him figure out where he wants to start a new life.
Since it was time for the veil to go up, it is officially revealed that Bonnie’s death saved Jeremy and she’s now a ghost. She makes him promise to tell Elena, who’s currently looking for her, that she would be staying with her mother. In her search for Bonnie, Elena runs into Katherine. The two duel and Katherine rams a knife into Elena’s neck, which Elena returns with a forced administration of the cure – Katherine’s now a human.
Another fight is ensuing between Stefan and Silas, in which Stefan gets staked through the stomach. Silas then thows him into a large safe and tosses it into the quarry. Will Silas now return to Mystic Falls in the guise of Stefan?
