lol the thing with the whole DE flashback thing was to tell DE fans that Damon compelled her to fall in love basically. It's really not that hard to understand. But it's a bone, just as the SE stuff is sooo
I really don't see how any ship won in this ep tbh. & when they go with SE next season, according to JP's interview "for a little while", they're going to have Elena go back and forth between the brothers and not make any logical sense whatsoever, because JP is living in Twilight world.
btw the last few seconds...totally like freaking Breaking Dawn. So fcking stupid and ridiculous for a show that says that they aren't like Twilight at all LOL. & I didn't even watch that movie to know that, I watched it on YT.
