It’s finally the full moon, which means Klaus is planning to break the sun and moon curse tonight. Elena and Stefan are willing to go along with the sacrifice and hope that Elijah’s magical elixir will bring Elena back to life, but Damon is not on board with that plan. In classic Damon fashion, he lashes out and feeds Elena his blood, almost guaranteeing that she will come back, but as a vampire that will hate him for an eternity. So Elena and Stefan go for a hike to spend one last human day together and talk about what Elena is feeling. Meanwhile, Klaus’s witches gather all the “ingredients” needed to break the curse by luring Tyler back to town and kidnapping him and Caroline. Eventually, Damon realizes how badly he messed up and spends the day trying to postpone the ritual for another month. After asking Klaus nicely if he would mind postponing, Damon moves on to Plan B: rescue Caroline and Tyler. The rescue mission is mostly a success, thanks to Matt “Shoot First, Ask Questions Later” Donovan showing up, but Klaus is ten steps ahead: he knows to have a backup werewolf and vampire. So, as soon as Elena gets back from the hike, Klaus takes her to the quarry, where she finds out who the backup vampire is. Damon is confused why it isn't him until Katherine reveals that Tyler bit him during the rescue mission, so he’s as good as dead anyway.This week: Season 2 Episode 20 | The Last Day Hosted on Acast.
