Andy’s ‘Vampire Diaries’ Afterthoughts: Stefan & Damon’s War Over Elena Is Done, And I’m NOT Happy!

567 days ago by HL 156 Comments

The Stefan/Elena/Damon triangle (Stelemon?) got even sharper Nov. 4 — so stop reading if you haven’t watched!

Great news for Stelena shippers: Damon (Ian Somerhalder) has officially bowed out of the fight over Elena (Nina Dobrev.) Tonight’s episode ended with a shocking confession as Damon told Elena he loves her, and then a disappointing twist as he compelled her into forgetting his big speech. He said he can’t be “selfish” with her, so he’s going to let her get back with Stefan (Paul Wesley.) I think I speak for all my fellow Delena enthusiasts when I say, “What the hell, Damon? Why did you have to suddenly become noble NOW?”

But the episode wasn’t ALL about “Stelemon.” We’re also finally starting to learn why Elena and Katherine look alike: They’re related! As it turns out, Elena’s kidnappers were two mercenary vampires — including Lauren Cohan as saucy British vampire Rose — and their orders were to hand Elena over to Elijah, a member of the “Original” family of vamps (shout out to Buffy‘s “First.”) They were technically ordered to kidnap Katherine, but Elena was easier, and they’re both “Petrova döpplegangers.”

We also finally found out what the Moonstone does, and it is NOT good news for our girl, Elena. The Moonstone is what binds the Curse of the Moon and the key to breaking the curse is the blood of a Petrova döppleganger (i.e. Katherine’s or Elena’s.) But even this answer merely leaves me with more questions: How exactly are Katherine and Elena related, and… could there possibly be a third döppleganger out there somewhere?

But while it was a bummer night for Delena devotees, it was a GREAT night for those of us hoping to see Bonnie (Katerina Graham) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) become a legit thing. They told each other they both feel “alone” and misunderstood. There’s a seriously emo love connection going on here, and I approve 100 percent. But let the record show I’m worried about the Bonster. Let us not forget how overusing magic killed her dearly departed Grams (Jasmine Guy) from last season.

The final book is no ready yet, so Damon have a opportunity. In shadow soul book Elena is in love we Damon too, and in the show Elena and Damon are the real epic couple.

stelena stelena and bamon, because Delena is a couple who has not a solid argument, delena is only passion, delena is because Ian Somerhalder is damon ( I bet that if Paul or another was Damon, Delena fan base wasnt be so huge), delena is just because the bad boy falls in love with the girl next door ( too cliche)

Anyway Stelena are the best and unique…

    DE Couple who has no solid argument? and what solid argument Bamon has? Face it, Damon and Bonnie hate each other and there is zero chance for them.
    and Delena has solid argument , they balance each other for one thing. Elena sees the good inside Damon and he is ready to be a better man for her.
    why do you think DE is build so long because they are the epic couple . and passion each couple needs and Stelena doesn’t have that , Stefan and Elena are boring and by the last episode and the 9 December preview DE has a lot of chance to happen. of course not right now but with time and them they will be the most epic couple ever . “solid argument” please

    Uhh what end are you talking about???? I read all of them so far and there hasnt been an end and there prob wont be for another like 3 years seeing as there are 4 or 5 for books to be released…. The author hasnt even decided who she going to be with and if she has than shes gunna make it a tight race so dont think that books indicate any Stefan and ELena dominance because it doesnt…..

Delena always wins polls where you can vote once.
It must only exist polls where you can vote once!!!
That is more fair.
