I would have everything the same right up to when Bonnie stabs Kai loved that bit because it actually gave Bonnie some agency for once. She got to take revenge of her own volition as a personal vendetta not on somebody elseās behalf and I freaking loved it.
Iād have him crash Jo and Alaricās wedding but Iād just have him cause a scene maybe even hit his dad with a particularly painful spell if he tried to challenge him. Kai goes on this huge rant because heās always wanted to get how he feels of his chest and now his whole familyās here in one place so itās the perfect time. Eventually, he says something cocky likeĀ āI could kill you all right nowā and Bonnie stands up and orders him out of the church. Kai plays it cool and scoff and ask what makes her think she can make him do anything and Bonnie just smiles and says āi beat you once I can do it againā
Then kai gets really close to her and tells Bonnie heās not angry that she stabbed him in the other prison world and that not only are they even now, but he respects her. He declares very publically that she can do a lot better than Mystic Falls or slumming it around with the likes of Damon and tells her that sheās the most amazing person heās ever met and the real reason he came back.
Just as he finishes up his heartfelt speech (and Bonnie is flawed) Liv and luke sneak up and hit him with a spell to knock him out but heās too powerful for them and fires back accidently knocking Liv unconsciousĀ (everyone thinks sheās dead but it turns out eventually that sheās okay).
Kaiās speech surprisingly inspires Caroline and she makes the decision to go to NOLA/TO and asks Bonnie to come with her which she accepts. Then Iād make KennettĀ a thing (after already establishing a flirty sort of romance in season 3-4) and have Kai show up out of nowhere one day and give Bonnie the two men fighting over her sheā always deserved.
SEND ME A SHIP AND IāLL TELL YOU THE ENDGAME I WOULD HAVE WRITTEN FOR THEM
