I started Final Space. Please tell me that Quinn doesnāt lower her standards and dates Gary? Like he does grow the fuck up right? š
I will say this... In my personal opinion... as time goes on, Gary grows on me, so I get where he grew on her too. He becomes less delusional over time. I have a rundown hanging out in my drafts that I'm gonna try to finish up by Quinn's BDay on the 20th, but it's a lot, so idk if I'll have it finished. If you aren't a stickler about spoilers, I also have a review on the ship in her tag that might be helpful. I break down my perception of their journey through all 3 seasons.
It's like... yes and no. I don't think she lowered her standards so much as realized that there was more to him than she initially thought. Despite a massive chunk of fandom takes, it doesn't just suddenly happen either. She gradually lets him in and still holds up certain walls, even when he's important to her.

Cut to ā The Bamon home, early morning. Damon is making some vamp cakes for breakfast; Bonnie is preparing their coffee.
Ā BONNIE: Thank you for last nightā¦
DAMON: You have nothing to thank me for. And, when you are ready, Iām here to listen.
BONNIE: (Kisses him) I love you.
DAMON: I love you too. (He sets the plates on the table; they sit down to eat, although they barely touch their food). Bonnieā¦ I really need you to know that you can talk to me about this. I know you might feel hesitant because of Ā who he is, and what we have. But, above all, Iām your best friend. I can put the jealous and insecure boyfriend on pause, at least for a little while. The only thing I care about is making sure youāll be okay.
BONNIE: He caught me off guardā¦
DAMON: Both of usā¦
BONNIE: When I linked with the source, and had that astral projection, the first person I thought about was himā¦
DAMON: I knowā¦
BONNIE: I waited day after day, thinking he might be lost. Did every single spell in my grimoire, looked for other witches and psychics that could help, but nothingā¦ Then, time passed, and he never showed, so I gave up ā¦ And now, after months, he makes his appearance as if nothing happened? How could he do this to me? How could he wait all this time? Why?
DAMON: I will forever hate him for doing that to you, no matter his excuse. But, Bon, the only way you are going to get the answers to those questions, is if you ask him yourselfā¦ Last night, after I punched him, I asked him to stay away from you, and I had no right. That is your choice to make, not mine. You deserve to know the truthā¦
BONNIE: You punched him?
DAMON: Of course I did; he hurt you.
BONNIE: Did you get him good?
DAMON: Oh, I totally did! Bastard fell to the ground in a blink of an eye! Then again, heās always been a featherweight.
BONNIE: (Laughs) I love that whatever the circumstance, you always find a way to make me laugh. And, you are my best friend, but you are also my soulmateā¦ I know this canāt be easy for you, but I need you to know you have nothing to worry about. Iām in love with you, and only youā¦
DAMON: Iām not going to lie, Bon. When I saw him, I almost pissed my pants. Hell, I even broke the most expensive bottle we have. Within a second, I saw my life, my dreams, slipping through my hands. But then, I remembered all those nights I heard you cry, and that is what truly drove me mad. I never, and I mean never, want to hear you cry like that againā¦
BONNIE: (Softly grabs his face) As long as I am with you, I know I wonātā¦ (kisses him).Ā
Butā¦ the most expensive bottle? Seriously?Ā
(They laugh, then finally enjoy their vamp cakes). Ā
Cut to ā The Salvatore school, first day of classes after the winter break. Ric is in his office, still trying to reach Caroline, with no luck. Leaves a voicemail. Care, I know you are on your time off, and you probably have no reception. But, if you get my message by any chance, try to find a way to call the girls, they really want to talk to you. Someone knocks; he hangs up.
Ā RIC: Come in.
IKER: Reporting for duty, Professor Saltzman.
RIC: (Gets up and greets him with a bro hug) Hey, man! So glad to have you on board! Welcome to the faculty! At least one of the teachers is on time!
IKER: First day on the job, punctuality is a must!
RIC: Yeah, well not all teachers have your sense of ethics. Just give me a sec to make some calls, Ā and Iāll give you the tour. (Dials Katherine, straight to voicemail) Katherine, you better get your butt here fast, your class starts in 20 minutes! (Hangs up). Why am I even surprisedā¦ there hasnāt been a day she has been on time! (Dials Lexi).
LEXI: Calm down, Ric; we are almost there.
RIC: Great, see you soon. (Hangs up; soon after Margo walks in with the new student, the three year old vampire. Iker looks at him, surprised to see such a young pupil. Ric approaches the boy, squats down to make eye contact).Ā
Hey, little one, welcome to the Salvatore School. I promise we will take great care of youā¦ (as expected, no response. He looks up at Margo, she shakes her head, letting him know the boy still hasnāt said a word). Okayā¦ Ms. Margo is going to show you around the school, there are a lot of cool places Iām sure you will love. And, we got a room done specially for you. Itās in the main house, right next to my daughterās bedroom. You will meet them soon, Iām sure youāll get along great with them. (Turns to Margo) Radka is in the teacherās lounge grabbing some coffee; if you want to meet up with her so she can go with you.
MARGO: Yes, I need as much help as I can get.Ā Iāll look for you afterwards, we need to talk.
(She walks out with the boy). Ā
IKER: Wow, I didnāt know you had students that were so young.
RIC: We donāt, he is the first one.
IKER: Is he a witch?
RIC: A vampireā¦
IKER: What!?? Who the hell would do that to a kid?!!
RIC: I know, itās the cruelest thing Iāve ever seen, and I have seen my share of cruel.
IKER: That goes beyond cruel, thatās pure evil.
RIC: It is. I really hope we are able to help him.
IKER: You can count on me with whatever I can do to help.
RIC: Thank you. I think itās going to take all of us to be able to get through to him.
IKER: Well, Iām in.
RIC: Okay, letās take the tour. Here (hands him his schedule).
IKER: Ooh, āCombat and Tacticsā, loving this already!
RIC: (Smirks in excitement) Wait till I show you the training gym, and the weapons roomā¦
IKER: You had me at ācombatāā¦Ā
(they leave). Ā
Cut to - Augustusās underground facility, late at night. Kai is in the tech room; continuing to try and hack into Tamaraās system. āBonnieā walks in.
Ā BONNIE: How is it going, handsome?
KAI: (Blushes) I almost cracked it, Bonster!Ā
I was about 2 seconds behind before she reprogrammed herself.
BONNIE: Thatās great news, definitely progress. Better than the rest of the tech team has been able to do. Shouldnāt take you too long to get it done.
KAI: Nop, I almost have herā¦
BONNIE: (Flirtatious) Tell you what, if you manage to pull this off, Iāll give you a nice surprise.
KAI: (Blushing again) A surpriseā¦ I love surprises. Tell me, Bon, what is it?
BONNIE: It wouldnāt be a surprise if I told you, but Iām sure youāll love it (winks, and walks away. Soon after, Katherine walks in).
KAI: Agent Pierce, I was just telling Bonnie that Iām very close to completing the mission.
KATHERINE: Very close is not mission complete, try harder.
KAI: Oh, come on, Agent, donāt be such a pessimist. These things are complicated, they take time.
KATHERINE: Sorry. You are actually the only one that is getting any progress done! Iām just under a lot of pressure.
KAI: So am I, but stressing out only makes things worse. Try to relax, stress is no friend to the skin. You donāt want that beautiful face to age prematurely, do you?
KATHERINE: Over my dead body!
KAI: (They laugh) Tell you what, my break is in 10 minutes, how about we get a drink?
KATHERINE: Well, I could use a drinkā¦
KAI: Enough said, itās a date!
KATHERINE: Itās a drink, not a date.
KAI: You say tomayto, I say tomahtoā¦
Cut to ā The facilityās lab. Darius is showing SA Connelly and Pietro his new genetic prototypes.
Ā PIETRO: Very impressive, my friend.
SA CONNELLY: Very much indeedā¦ but a tad bit freaky.
DARIUS: I have to say, couldnāt have done it without Kai. Credit where credit's due. He really is one of a kind.Ā Donāt tell Augustus I said this, but I truly think he has surpassed the masterā¦
PIETRO: Speaking of, he just confirmed heāll connect to our conference tomorrow. All the board members will be in attendance.
SA CONNELLY: Good to know that Tamara is at least giving him a chance to do home office.
DARIUS: As long as he is available to connect, Iām fine with him working with pajama pants.
PIETRO: Yes, but he still needs to come in to do the field work. The Gemini freak might be talented, but he is not one of us.
SA CONNELLY: Itās just a matter of time before Kai cracks the code, we just need to be patient, and do with what we have for the moment.
DARIUS: And where are Stefan and Caroline, I thought you were bringing them in today?
PIETRO: I need a little more time. My dear brother is refusing to go ripper. Trust me, he will be of more use to us like that. As for Bonnie and Damon, they are still MIA. Ā
DARIUS: (Turns to SA Connelly) Canāt your tech stuff help us track them?
SA CONELLY: Weāve tried tracking their cellphones. Last GPS location was picked up by one of our Mystic Falls towers, but that was before New Yearās.
PIETRO: Iām sure they will make an appearance soon, specially once they find out their friends are missing.
SA CONNELLY: And how exactly are you planning to control the Bennett witch?
DARIUS: Ever since Veritas brought me out of my nap, I have been thinking on how to do that. And now, I know exactly how.
PIETRO: Care to share with the group, so there are no surprises along the way.
DARIUS: Do you trust me?
PIETRO: Iād like to ā¦
DARIUS: Then, trust me. Now, if you two are up for some entertainment, I say we go grab a drink and watch the Russian spy and the tech genius put on quite the show. I asked Bob to make it karaoke nightā¦ (They laugh and head to the Facility bar).
Cut to ā Pietroās mansion. Caroline and Stefan are locked up in a cell in the basement. They are vervained, weak, and starving. Suddenly, a blood covered Sage comes vamping in, and opens their cell door.
SAGE: Come on, we donāt have much time (gives them a blood bag so they can regain some strength). Ā
CAROLINE: (Looking very confused) Who are youā¦?
SAGE: Thatās not important right now. Do you want to get out of here or not? Quick, drink up so we can go. (They devour the blood).
STEFAN: Ah, much better! Now letās get the hell out of here; Iāll deal with my brother later.
CAROLINE: Home sweet homeā¦ couldnāt stand another night in this hole!
SAGE: You canāt go home; theyāll find you in no time.
CAROLINE: But I need to see my girls.
SAGE: They want you two. So, unless you want to be caught again, itās best to go somewhere else; at least until we figure this out.
CAROLINE: What if they take the girls for leverage? We canāt risk it.
SAGE: If they wanted your girls to get to you, they would have taken them already. Plus, they donāt like to deal with children, so Iām sure they will be fine.
CAROLINE: Who is they? I thought this was an evil half-brother type thing.
SAGE: Oh, there is much more to it. Iāll tell you everything once we are out of here.
STEFAN: We can go to Bonnie and Damonās, figure it out from there. Weāll call Ric and let him know whatās going on.
SAGE: Come on, letās moveā¦ Donāt mind the pile of bodies on the way out; I was hungry, and very pissed off (they vamp out).
Cut to ā Edwardās mansion. Edward is in the kitchen grabbing a mid-night snack. Tamara walks in.
TAMARA: You havenāt slept in daysā¦
EDWARD: Sleep is overrated.
TAMARA: Itās essential for human health. Chronic sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, or stroke.
EDWARD: Do you always have to google everything to be able to talk?
TAMARA: Google? Are you kidding me? That thing is for kindergarteners.
EDWARD: (Smirks) Nice to know machines can have a sense of humor.
TAMARA: Iām much more than a machine, and my sense of humor is exquisite.
Anyway, on to another subject, I thought youād like to know they continue to try to access the estate; and they brought in reinforcements. The Sheriff and his friends have been attempting to get inside since yesterday. Ā
EDWARD: Well, do your thing. Increase security, whatever you need to do. No one gets in, or out, understood?
TAMARA: Understood.Ā
Also, Augustusās tech team has been trying to hack into my system. One of them got very close to succeeding. Too closeā¦ I was able to reprogram myself only seconds before he was about to crack the source code.
EDWARD: Who is he?
TAMARA: Log name is: Cobrakai1972.
EDWARD: Letās find out who has that log name, and get it taken care of. Send them a text from Augustus to have him fired, or eliminated.
TAMARA: I doubt a text message will work to give a direct order. They will start to get suspicious if they donāt see Augustus soon.
EDWARD: Get creative and solve it.
TAMARA: I could create a holographic image of him; simulate a video conference. But, eventually, they will expect to see him in person.
EDWARD: Weāll cross that bridge when we get to it. In the meantime, letās go with this Augustus avatar, that should buy us some time and it will be perfect for our con-call tomorrow. Oh, and get me the intel on his āsecretā projects. If Iām going to take over, I need to know exactly what they are up to.
TAMARA: And what about your Mayoral duties? Have you forgotten you have a city to run?
EDWARD: I took a leave of absence. As of tomorrow, Sheriff Donovan will be ordered to take my place. Hopefully that will keep him busy enough to give his trespassing attempts a rest.
TAMARA: Regardless, Iāll increase security, make sure no one can get in, or out.
EDWARD: Perfectā¦ Now, talk to me about her, what else do you remember?
TAMARA: As each day passes, I remember more. What do you want to know?
EDWARD: I want you to describe, in detail, exactly what she felt, every thought that went through her head that nightā¦
TAMARA: Again?
EDWARD: Yes, againā¦Ā (he turns on his turn table and plays the same song that was playing that night:Ā Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes).
Cut to ā The Bamon home, late at night. Damon and Bonnie are in bed, cuddling and watching an old movie.
Ā DAMON: So, Bon, did you make a decision?
BONNIE: I did. You are right, I deserve to know the truth. Iāll go see him tomorrow.
DAMON: Do you Ā know where he is?
BONNIE: No, but I have a feeling I know where I can find him.
DAMON: Do you want me to come with you?
BONNIE: Thanks for offering, but I think I need to do this on my own. Is that okay with you? Ā
DAMON: Of course, just let me know if you need anything.
BONNIE: I will, I promise (they kiss and continue to cuddle. Suddenly, they hear someone yelling).
CAROLINE: Bonnie! Damon! Where are you!?
DAMON: Is thatā¦ Barbie?
BONNIE: Sounds like itā¦
DAMON: Does she know how to use a phone? Or a doorbell?
BONNIE: Well, our phones are still off; and I cloaked the houseā¦ you know, just to be safe.
DAMON: (Smirks) I love you more each day.
BONNIE: (She gets out of bed and peeks through the window) Sheās with Stefan and some other girlā¦
DAMON: (Teasing) I knew it! It was just a matter of timeā¦
BONNIE: (Throws a cushion at him) Youāre terrible (smirks).Ā Iāll go let them in.
DAMON: They really need some boundaries. They got some nerve coming here un announced, and at this time of the night!
BONNIE: Iām pretty sure they didnāt come over for drinksā¦ Ā
DAMON: Yeah, something must be up. Letās go check it out. (They go downstairs; Bonnie temporarily un cloaks the house so they can find their way inside).
BONNIE: Hey, guys, over hereā¦
CAROLINE: Bonnie! Thank god! (Turns to Stefan) You see? I told you this was the place.
BONNIE: Sorry, it was cloaked. Come in (they walk inside, except for Sage)ā¦
SAGE: Uhm, would you mind?
DAMON: Who are you?
STEFAN: Let her in, she helped us get out.
DAMON: Get out of where, exactly?
STEFAN: Weāll tell you all about it; just invite her in, please.
BONNIE: You can come in.
SAGE: Thank you.
BONNIE: Are you guys okay?
STEFAN: You will not believe what happened to usā¦
DAMON: Neither will youā¦
BONNIE: Whatās going on?
CAROLINE: (Sarcastic) Well, our lovely half-brother-in-law thought kidnapping us on New Yearās would be a blast!
BONNIE: What?!!
DAMON: Pietro took you!?
STEFAN: Not only that, he kept us locked up in his basement for days. Tried to get me to go ripper, tortured Caroline, starved usā¦ Until Sage got us out.
SAGE: Me, being Sageā¦ Nice to meet you. Iām a friend of Elenaās from Munich University.
BONNIE: You are the friend thatās on the āinsideā?
SAGE: Was, until they caught me. Long story short, that didnāt end well.
DAMON: (Gets them some blood bags) Here, looks like you need these.
BONNIE: Why would Pietro come after you?
SAGE: Because they are building an army. Guessing they want the strongest on their side. As long as they can find a way to control them...
DAMON: Whoās they, now?
SAGE: The Liberatusā¦
DAMON: Oh, come on! Not the freak cult again! Canāt they find another hobby!?
CAROLINE: (Looking very concerned) Thatās not the worst partā¦ Ā Darius is awake.
DAMON: Thatās impossible! I have a camera on him 24/7.
BONNIE: (Worried) Damon, our phones have been off for daysā¦
DAMON: No, no, no, no, no...Ā
(vamps to get his phone and turns it on. Sighs in relief). Nop, heās still exactly where Bon put him, look (shows them the live CCTV footage).Ā Ā
SAGE: I swear I saw him at Edwardās Christmas ball. And I also saw him on a video call with Pietro. Itās him.
BONNIE: Darius is an illusionistā¦ How much do you want to bet that the image on that camera is nothing more than a projection of himself.
DAMON: Shit! Shit! Shit! How the hell did this happen!!! And here I thought having Enzo back was our biggest problem.
CAROLINE: Wait, what??!! Enzo is back??!!
BONNIE: He is. But Iāll tell you about that later, Care. I think itās more important for us to focus on this right now.
CAROLINE: Bonnie, are you kidding me? This is Enzo we are talking about! I need to know what happened, how you are!
BONNIE: Iām fine. And I swear weāll talk about it, just not now.Ā
(Stefan stares at Damon, as concerned as Caroline).
SAGE: (Feeling the tensionā¦) Okayā¦ well, I donāt know who this Enzo person is, what I do know is that Darius is not the only one we need to worry about. Itās an entire organization, and they are up to some very disturbing things. Back in Munich, when I was working for them in the lab, I did some research on a serum that Elena had given Sam to dispose of. From my findings, I was able to determine that the genetic structure of the particles had mutatedā¦ I would need to do more research to figure out exactly what it is. But Iām pretty certain itās some type of virus; or at least it behaves like one.
DAMON: A virus? What the hell do they plan to do with that?
SAGE: Infect a high percentage of the population... Or, as they like to say, ācleanse the worldā.
STEFAN: Itās some kind of sick Hunger Games, survival of the fittestā¦
SAGE: And smartestā¦
BONNIE: And this āvirusā, only affects humans?
SAGE: I donāt know. Like I said, I would need to do more research on it. Good thing is, I know exactly where it isā¦
DAMON: Great! Letās go get the damn thing, see what we are dealing with.
SAGE: Well, itās not that easy. This facility is not only heavily guarded; from what I was able to see from Pietroās video calls, they have some really freaky high-tech stuff, which Iām pretty sure they donāt even understand themselvesā¦
DAMON: Weāll get our geek pal to help us out with that!
STEFAN: If by our geek pal you mean Kai, itās not an option. They got to him, Katherine too.
BONNIE: (Worried) What about the others?Ā
CAROLINE: They are fine. I called Ric from a payphone, (rambles a bit ) can you believe those things still exist? I mean, you would think they would be useless now that everyone has a cellphone, but I guess that--
STEFAN: (Interrupts) Care, youāre going off topic...
CAROLLINE: Sorry, Iām just a little overwhelmed with all of thisā¦ Anyway, they are all fine. I was going to tell Ric everything, but I stopped myself. Someone has to run the school, and this town. If I had told him he would have told everyone, and they would have dropped everything to come and help. They think Stefan and I are still on vacation, I told Ric I needed more days.
BONNIE: Weāll figure this out. We are safe here, and there is plenty of room for you guys.
DAMON: And, it just so happens that our āBatcaveā has some pretty badass shit that can help us with this new mission of ours.
BONNIE: It sure does. But, it looks like you guys need some real rest. Why donāt we call it a night, and weāll get to this first thing in the morning.
CAROLINE: Ā I could really use some sleep in an actual bedā¦
STEFAN: Me tooā¦
SAGE: Me threeā¦
DAMON: Come, Iāll show you to your rooms.
Cut to ā The Armoryās tunnel hide out. Enzo is playing the guitar. Maggie walks in, applauding.
Ā MAGGIE:Ā Wow! You have quite the talent!
ENZO: Thank you, I supposeā¦
MAGGIE: Iām glad you finally dropped the attitude. You see? It wasnāt that hard for us to get along. Granted the accommodations might not be a five star hotel, but itās rather cozy; donāt you think?
ENZO: You can drop the face now. I know who you are. Ā
MAGGIE: Really? What gave it away?
ENZO: The terrible jokes.
SILAS: (Morphs into his original form) Oh, come on! Theyāre funny! You Brits are way too snobbish when it comes to sense of humor.
ENZO: We like our humor witty. Not dumb and dumber.
SILAS: Ouch, low blow!Ā ItāsĀ actually a pretty funny movie!
ENZO: Anyway, when can I get out of here?
SILAS: Well, I got your cabin remodeled, it will be ready in the morning. Come tomorrow, fly, Robin, fly. I have a feeling that will be the first place Bonnie will come looking for you. Just stick to the plan, and donāt try anything stupidā¦ I hear thatās big with the Brits (winks).
ENZO: (Rolls his eyes) God, it just keeps getting worseā¦ Can I ask, out of all the things you could have chosen with this new life of yours, why choose this? You could travel the world, find a new love, a hobby... Itās a tad petty donāt you think?
SILAS: What can I say, maybe I have more in common with my ex than I thought?
ENZO: Wasnāt she after some kind of love vendetta? What does that have to do with you and Bonnie?
SILAS: Besides the fact that she is a Bennett witch, and this is a vendetta, absolutely nothing.Ā
Bonnie betrayed me; and although she is the reason I Ā was able to come back, Iām still pissed she let me be dragged to hell. I mean, you worked for Cade. What a prick, right?! Then, I had to deal with Katherine... you know for a fact what utter torture that is. Finally, when Bonnie destroyed the hell dimension, I was lost in oblivion, which, as you know as well, is even worse than hell. Also... Iām bored. And, as Qetsiyah seemed to clearly know, there is no better revenge than a broken heart.
ENZO: But why go through the trouble of bringing me back? I reckon you could have found another way.
SILAS: At first I had my doubts. But then, when I saw how distraught she was when you didnāt come back, it made perfect sense. Just out of curiosity, why didnāt you come back?
ENZO: (Struggling to say the words) Because I knew she was in love with himā¦
SILAS:Ā Aw, Iām sure that breaks your heart. Ha, two birds with one stoneā¦ Well, three if you count Damon. How efficient of me! Anyway, even if this doesnāt work, just ruining her moment of bliss, if only for a moment, is worth it. If you think about it, after everything I had to endure because of her, Iām letting her off with just a hand-slap. Guess I have gotten soft over the yearsā¦ Anyway, sheās not the only reason I'm sticking around here for. I have a bone to pick with an old foe, who I was delighted, yet surprised, to know was in town. But that one is going to take a little more time.
ENZO: Sounds productive. Dare I ask who?
SILAS: Letās just say heās an entitled psychic-witch, who really gets on my nerves.
ENZO: I can relateā¦
SILAS: Donāt be such a gloom! You should be exhilarated to have the opportunity to get Bonnie back. Maybe even take her to Paris again? Just, donāt order brains this timeā¦
ENZO: That is the only reason Iām agreeing to do thisā¦
SILAS: (Mocking) For the brains?
ENZO: (Rolls his eyes again) Seriously, mate, stick to your day job.
SILAS: Fine, I will. Ooh, one minor detail I forgot to mentionā¦ Ā just so Iām sure you wonāt go suicidal on me. I linked your life to Bonnieās. So, unless you want this story to end like Romeo and Juliet, you better keep safeā¦
ENZO: (Not being able to contain himself anymore, lashes at him) Iāll kill you! Iāll kill you!
SILAS: (Holds him back) Oh, the dramatics! Another delightful British trait, so very Shakespearian! And, you wonāt kill meā¦Iām linked to her as well. But, hey, Damon is fair game. So, bygonesā¦Ā
(He walks away. Enzo continues to play, while his guitar gently weeps...).
Coming next, 10x02 ā While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
Hi I just reblog your complete Roswell post. My hope is people will watch the original and if/when the reboot comes it BOMBS HARD. They will see what well written female characters really looks like with F/F, F/M friendships look like cause the CW doesnāt know how to do that. Neither does the writer in charge of the reboot.
I love it how most of us are hoping it bombs. I donāt wanna be mean about it, but I honestly feel so attacked thisĀ ārebootā is happening. And after reading and learning more about it and Carina MacKenzie, Iām even more pissed off. I suppose thereās still a slim chance it will never happen and Iām holding on to that hope.
Let me share here as well that Roswell can be viewed at HULU:Ā https://www.hulu.com/roswell , in case some people wanna watch it there.Ā
Thereās only one Roswell, letās remind the world of that.
TVD 10x03 - Are You Sure You Want To Delete? Enjoy! =)
Flashforward to ā A few months later, Halloween night, the Powell mansion. Itās Edwardās birthday. As he does every year, he is holding a Halloween ball, and once again his choice of costume is a freaky clown. The difference with this yearsā celebration are the guests, and a birthday cake, which he hadnāt had since he was seven.
Ā TAMARA: Edwardā¦ Donāt ā¦
EDWARD: (Looks into her eyes and smirks) Checkmateā¦
Winks, then blows out his birthday candlesā¦Ā
A massive energy blast of nuclear proportions expands rapidly, annihilating everything in its path).
Cut to ā The Bamon home Batcave. In preparation for the inevitable, Bonnie created a pocket dimension to protect themselves from what was to come. There was no other way. If they wanted to survive, they had to let go of life as they had known it, and make some unexpected alliances. A small price to pay for what was at stake. Or, was it..?
Ā BONNIE: Itās doneā¦ I can feel it.Ā
(They remain silent for a while, comforting one another. Eventually, Caroline is the first to speak).
CAROLINE:Ā I canāt believe it actually happened. Everything is goneā¦
STEFAN: Not everything, Care. We have each other.
DAMON: (Trying to bring some humor to bear with the reality) And a whole lot of bourbon!
BONNIE: Plus, Monopoly. We got Monopoly too!Ā
(They laugh, desperately finding a way to deal with the fear and desolation).
CAROLINE: Do you think the others..?
DAMON: We wonāt know that for a while. If they stuck to the plan, they should be fine.
STEFAN:Ā I know you miss them, but it was the best way to keep them safe, and give them a shot of a somewhat ānormalā life.
CAROLINE: I knowā¦ I just hope they donāt forget me.
BONNIE:Ā (Hugs Caroline) Care, you are their mother, of course they wonāt. And, you know we can contact them whenever you want.
CAROLINE: Thank you, Bon. At least Iām happy we are going through this together.
SILAS: (Who has sneaked up on them) Aw, that was beautiful, Caroline. Truly touching words.
BONNIE: Iām already regretting bringing you alongā¦
SILAS: Oh, come on, Bonnie. Give me some credit. I fought on your side, helped with the magic part, saved these guys asses, even brought Qetsiyah back so she could do the spell. That alone should earn me redemption! Do you know what itās like to put up with that woman?!
DAMON: Iād be careful if I were you; she can probably hear you. Unless you want to get bitch-slapped. But, hey, maybe youāre into that.
SILAS: (Lowers his voice) My point is that Iāve proven my alliance. Granted we lost, but so did they.
ENZO: (Comes vamping in) Sorry, lost track of him for a moment.
SILAS: I donāt need a babysitter, Enzo. If anyone, you do. I still donāt trust you after what you pulled.
ENZO: I had to make them think I was on their side.
DAMON: Well, youāre a hell of an actor.
STEFAN: Guys, we are going to be stuck here together, for who knows how long. Letās try not to get under each otherās skin.
PIETRO: (Who has also sneaked in) I agree, letās try to keep things as amicable as possible. Anyway, I thought youād like to know the vamp kid practically devoured all the blood bags. What are we going to do now?
CAROLINE: His name is Jacob; and I have the blood supply covered. You think you are dealing with amateurs? Please!
PIETRO: (Smirks) Sorry, I think I underestimated you.
CAROLINE: Yes, you obviously did.
QETSIYAH: (Peeks her head in) Hey, if you people are hungry, I made the famous Bennett soup. (Turns to Silas) None for you.Ā
(walks away).
BONNIE: (Mocking) We have soup in a cup, youāre welcome to help yourself. Ā
DAMON: Told you to be careful.Ā
Your loss, that soup is freakinā amazing! (They walk out).Ā
SILAS: (To himself) Iām over it.
Cut to ā Augustusās underground facility.
Ā VOICE: How long will we be in here?
DARIUS: For a long time, so you better find something to entertain yourself.
VOICE: I thought you had everything under control. I canāt believe I trusted you, yet again.
DARIUS: This wasnāt my doing. I warned you multiple times this was not the way. Science and the occult, will always rule over technology, no matter how sophisticated it may be.
VOICE: You do realize what just happened, correct? We lost against our own weapons! Theyāve taken control of everything! How is that ruling over them?!
DARIUS: Itās not. And you are absolutely right about that. Iām only pointing out that if we had gone with my plan, instead of Augustusās, we wouldnāt be in this situation right now. We let him take this too far, and we shouldāve taken care of Edward a long time agoā¦
VOICE: If it werenāt for Edward this situation would be a lot worse. At least he had the courage to sacrifice himself for us to be able to have a fighting chance.
DARIUS: (Sarcastic) The child born of sacrifice dies for sacrifice, how poetic. Do you honestly believe that? All he did was get rid of some of Augustusās toys, nothing more. If anything, he just made things a lot worse. How do you think the remaining ones will react? I highly doubt theyāll let this pass like itās a no biggie. This is only the beginning of the end.
VOICE: God is testing my patience with you. I hope I can withstand such trial.
DARIUS: I am as much irritated with you as you are with me. I suggest we keep our distance and try to be civil. I wouldnāt want you to reach your breaking point, so soon.
VOICE: Or for you to reach yoursā¦ (Agent Connelly walks in)
SA CONNELLY: Who are you talking to?
DARIUS: No one.
SA CONNELLY: (She looks around. She could have sworn she heard him talking to somebody, but, as a matter of fact, there is no one on site). Listen, something is up; I need you to come with me.
Cut to ā Munich, Germany, some kind of nuclear bunker.
Ā VERITAS: I told you, (mockingly) āDr. Gilbertā, if you chose the right side, you would be safe. I always keep my promises (winks).
ELENA: And I always keep mine.
VERITAS: I am glad we can get along. We might be in here for a long time, so itās wise to keep courteous.
ELENA: As long as you donāt play your mind games, Iāll keep my end of the deal.
VERITAS: I promise I will be on my best behavior. And, once it is safe to go out, I will make it my number one priority to help you get back to your friends and brother.
ELENA: You wonāt.
VERITAS: Be on my best behavior or help you find your loved ones?
ELENA: Both.
VERITAS: Distrust is very ill for the soul, āDr. Gilbertā.
ELENA: After what I did, Iām starting to doubt I even have one.
VERITAS: Donāt be so hard on yourself. Wrong and right is but perception.
ELENA: We might be forced to work together but that doesnāt make us friends, so stop with the wisdom talks. And, just so itās clear, I hate you. Believe me, once we get out of here, Iāll make it my number one priority to get rid of you.
VERITAS: Aw, now I wonāt be able to sleep at night!Ā This tough girl act is sweet, but I hear you cry yourself to sleep every night. Heartbreakingā¦
ELENA: What makes you think thatās not the act?
VERITAS: (Smirks) Call it a sixth senseā¦ Anyhow, I didnāt come here for a chit chat, I need more blood. My guests are growing rather impatient. Ā Ā
ELENA: Thereās no way Iām ever letting you put a needle in me again. Youāre all kinds of sloppy. (She takes her own blood out and hands him a test tube) There; that should be enough. Now, get out.
VERITAS: I have very little tolerance for discourteous behavior, āDr. Gilbertā. You are very lucky I found some use to you. However, nobody is indispensable. I advise you to remember that.
ELENA: (Sneering) Aw, now I wonāt be able to sleep at night!
VERITAS: (Smiles) You remind me of Aletheia, before I turned herā¦ That being said, perhaps you should take to rest. You look terrible. And please, stop with the crying. Itās a bit much. Sam made his choice, let it go (he walks away).
Ā Cut to ā A secluded cabin near Machu-Pichu, Peru. Khuyana is feeding her baby girl, Victoria Camilla Donovan-Illarisisa. Tyler and Lexi walk in.
Ā KHUYANA: Were you able to reach him?
TYLER: No. Iām sorryā¦
KHUYANA: Maybe itās too soon. Iām sure heāll contact us.
LEXI: Are you done feeding her? I can help you put her to bed.
KHUYANA: That would be great, thank you. (Hands her the baby. Lexi goes into the nursery). Tyler, please tell me the truth. Is he okay?
TYLER: (Not being able to contain the tears) K, Iām so sorryā¦ Heās goneā¦Ā
KHUYANA: (Struggling to keep it together) But he said he would be fineā¦ That he would come back to usā¦
TYLER: Iām sure he did everything he couldā¦
KHUYANA: He said he had this under control! That he would come back! How can this be happening?!
TYLER: It was the only wayā¦ He had no choice.
KHUYANA: Us.Ā We were the choice...
TYLER: You know he would sacrifice anything for you, for his daughter. And thatās exactly what he did.
KHUYANA: (Breaks down, Tyler hugs her) Heās gone! Heās gone! She will never know how wonderful her father wasā¦
TYLER: She will, K. Weāll remind her every day. He might not be physically here, but heāll always live on. Through herā¦ Ā
Cut to ā Janjehli in Himachal Pradesh, India. A small village cottage owned by Radkaās family.
RADKA: Are the girls asleep?
ALARIC: Finally. Weāve been here for a while; youād figure they would be used to the time difference by now.
RADKA: You know itās not about that, Ric. Theyāre scared, and miss their mom. This is a completely different world to them; to all of us. We left everything behind, it will take us timeā¦
ALARIC: They hate me, and I canāt blame them. I took them away from Caroline, from their friends, from their homeā¦
RADKA: You did what you had to do to protect them. In time, they will understand. And, they have Kai too. They love Uncle Kai.
ALARIC: Where is he, anyway?
RADKA: At the Shikari Temple, meditating. He should be back soon. How about I make us dinner, we could use some food.
ALARIC: Do you thinkā¦ itās happened already?
RADKA: (Looks at the clock) Probablyā¦
ALARIC: It kills me not being able to be there with them. Make sure that they are alright.
RADKA: We need to have hope, Ric. Itās the only thing that will help us get through this. When Kai comes back, we can ask him to do that spell to reach Bonnie; make sure they are fine. He should have enough energy from the temple to pull it off.
ALARIC: How did we get to this point? Who would have thought in just a few months our entire lives would turn upside down?
RADKA: I know itās scary, especially with so much uncertainty. But I like to believe that things happen for a reason. That no matter how dark, there is always light at the end.
ALARIC: I love you, Rad.Ā
RADKA:Ā I love you too. Weāll get through this, I promise (kisses him, Kai walks in).
KAI: Namaste! Oh, sorry. Am I interrupting?
ALARIC: No, no. How did it go?
KAI: I have to say, Iām getting better at this every day. I swear I can almost reach Nirvana.
ALARIC: (Teasing) If youāre referring to the band, I agree. You play enough of their CDs to reach fanatic status, for sure.
KAI: Ha, ha; funny! Anyway, I reached Bon-Bon; theyāre fine. Safely made it into the pocket dimension. They donāt know how bad it is outside, but theyāll have to wait some time before even attempting to check it out.
ALARIC: Guess none of us will know. We knew staying off the grid meant sacrificing our connection to the outside world.
KAI: Ric, you forget who your favorite ex-sociopath killer, ex-brother-in-law, is! Iām a freakinā tech genius. I got this. Not only that, now that the mother brain is out; I can take the rest of them out.
ALARIC: Kai, we arenāt dealing with humans, these things are much smarter and faster.
KAI: Maybe, but that doesnāt mean they donāt have vulnerabilities.
ALARIC: Regardless, we canāt use any tech and risk getting tracked.
KAI: I would never put the girls at risk, but trust me, Ric. I can do this.
RADKA: Do what exactly?
KAI:Ā Breach the network, shut down the entire infrastructure. It will set us back years, Iām talking pre internet times, which I personally donāt mind. But itās the only way to regain control. And, if you look on the bright side, it could actually be a great opportunity for a fresh start.
ALARIC: Kai, youāre talking crazy talk. You watch way too many sci-fi movies.
KAI: They said AI taking over was sci-fi; and look at us nowā¦ Thereās no ākill-switchā, Ric. If we really want to solve the problem, weāre gonna have to go back to basics. Think about it, take down their power source, take them out for good.
ALARIC: And the rest of humanity along with them! Everything would collapse!
KAI: People can adapt, thatās what makes us different; stronger.
ALARIC: Economic collapse of epic proportions, massive unemployment, health crisis, communications breakdown; it would be absolute chaos! Are you kidding me?!
KAI: Itās better than the alternative. Living in fear, hostages to our own mistakes, which will, inevitably, lead to our annihilation. I say itās worth the risk.
RADKA: I agree with Kai. Humanity is resilient. We figured it out back then, we can do it again. Hopefully, this time around we wonāt make the same mistakes...
ALARIC: Are you two seriously considering this? Itās insane! We are talking about bringing back the dark ages! Donāt you think things are dark enough as they are?!
RADKA: And they will only get darker if we donāt do something. These things have killed millions already, they released the virus, gained access to nuclear weapons, intentionally malfunctioned, killing many moreā¦ The mother brain might be gone; but as long as they have a power source they can always find a way to replicate themselves.
KAI: Sheās right, Ric. If we want to stop them for good; this is the only way.
ALARIC: (Hesitant) Well, I did hate the girls attachment to their iPads, having no access here has been good for them. But, we canāt make this decision on our own. Contact Bonnie tomorrow, have her layout the plan with the rest, and weāll take it from there.
KAI: Weāll have to wait a few days; contact takes a lot of energy from both of us.
ALARIC: God, I miss the days when our biggest problems were rogue vampires, witches and werewolves.
RADKA: Well, if this works, that will be our biggest problem once again. Now, Iām starving, letās have some dinner.
Cut to ā The Mikaelson mansion, 1920. Like Bonnie, Freya and Danae were also challenged to come up with a creative way to keep safe. They had intended to create a spell-protected haven in the Mikaelson mansion. Something must have gone wrong. They were in fact in the Mikaelson mansion and protected, but in a very different timeline. Ā
Ā KOL: (Sipping bourbon) Needless to say, sister, but you could use more practice. Donāt get me wrong, I adore the 20ās, but Iām beginning to worry you might not know how to get us backā¦
FREYA: Shut up, Kol. We did what we could. We are safe, thatās the only thing that matters. Weāll figure out the rest when the time comesā¦
KATHERINE: Are you kidding me?! You better know how the hell to get us back! Iāll go insane being stuck here with all of you!
ELIJAH: Katerina, dear, you should be grateful we were kind enough to bring you along.
KLAUS: āWeā, sounds like a crowd, brother. You were the only one that consented to a matter you did not even consult with us. My conscious would have been at peace had we left her behind. Ā
KATHERINE: What conscious? You do remember you murdered my entire family?
KLAUS: Not all of them, and I apologized. That was a very long time ago, Katerina. It is unhealthy for the soul to keep such grudges.
KATHERINE: Youāre the one to talk!
HOPE: You did what, dad?! Remind you, sheās my favorite teacher.
KATHERINE: Aw, thank you, dear.
ABBY: Okay, well, I say we make the best of it. Itās not everyday one survives āthe Apocalypseā.
REBEKAH: For once, I actually agree with you. We should be thankful. And, we will find our way backā¦ (turns to Danae and Freya) right?
DANAE: It might take some time, but we will. Ā
ABBY: As long as I know Bonnie is safe, I donāt care how long it takes.
DANAE: She sends her regards. But I canāt contact her very often, it takes a lot of energy from both of us. Right now, we need as much energy as possible. Ā
MARCEL: Iām still feeling a bit loopyā¦ How did we end up here exactly? Like, did we time travel? How is that even possible?
DANAE: Itās not. And itās not precisely time travel. When we did the protection spell I used psychic energy, and my mind went to one of the best moments in my life. In a way, you can say we are bound to that imprint of my memory. If that makes any senseā¦
KOL: It doesnāt. But Iām fine as long as your memory doesnāt run out of bourbon.
KATHERINE: Well, if we are going to be inside, whatever this is, may I suggest we embrace the roaring 20ās and play some poker like the good old days!
ELIJAH: Ah, now that is the Katerina I know and love! I do hope you have enough life savings.
KATHERINE: Please, did you bring ointment?
ELIJAH: Excuse me? Ā
KATHERINE: For the ass whupping.
KLAUS: Oh, lord. I will definitely need more than bourbon to survive thisā¦
Cut to - The Bamon home, some hours later. Pietro, Stefan, and Damon are in the distillery having a drink.
Ā PIETRO: The Salvatore brothers under the same roof; without trying to kill one anotherā¦ Huh, who would have thought? Life really has some unexpected twistsā¦
DAMON: Tell me about it! If somebody had told me six months ago that Iād be inviting my psycho cult, vampire half-brother, into my home; I wouldāve laughed in their face.
STEFAN: Or smacked some sense into themā¦Ā
(they laugh).
PIETRO: I spent so many years resenting you, hating you; when it was him who was at fault. I will forever regret being so blind and idiotic. I know Iām lifetimes away from earning your forgiveness, but I hope you truly believe how sorry I am.
STEFAN: Well, you saved our lives when you couldāve easily let us die. Iād say thatās a good start.
DAMON: Listen, weāve all done some horrible shit. I mean, I killed a pregnant woman! Ā
STEFAN: I killed an entire village.
PIETRO: I killed Marylin Monroeā¦
DAMON: What?! No way! Youāre screwing with us! Everyone knows the Kennedyās did it.
PIETRO: And who do you think did it for them? They were part of the Liberatus tooā¦
STEFAN: Come on, she died from an overdose.
PIETRO: Thatās what the Police report says. Donāt tell me you trust the Police? Especially when it comes to Hollywood drama. Also, sheās not dead. I couldnāt bear to do it; she was so mesmerizing. So, I turned her, and sheās been in hiding ever since.
DAMON: Bullshit!
PIETRO: I swear, itās true.
DAMON: Okay, prove it.
PIETRO: If I could use my phone, I would. Once we get out of this mess, Iāll show you.
STEFAN: If we ever doā¦
DAMON: We will, Stefan.
STEFAN: Damon, I love the positivity, but we have no idea how many more of these things are out there, and how they will retaliate.
PIETRO: Edward got rid of the most important one. I say itās only a matter of time before the others self-destruct.
STEFAN: I hope you are right. Iām not sure how long I can last without trying to kill Silas.
PIETRO: Heās actually very funny once you get to know him. Sure, heās a dick, but you canāt deny he has a great sense of humor.
STEFAN: I spent months drowning over and over again because of him, so excuse me if I donāt see the humor in that. But he did play a big part in our survivalā¦ (Reluctant but accepting) And, he can be quite funny, Iāll give him that.
DAMON: If anyone is killing Silas, my money is on Enzo.
PIETRO: He canāt. But Iām sure if he could, youād win that bet. In other matters, are you okay having him around? Werenāt him and Bonnie a thing?
DAMON: That was a long time ago; Iām fine with it. Heās also a dick, and can really get on my nerves, but I still love the bastard. We go way back. And I could ask you the same. He and Sage seem to have become very closeā¦
PIETRO: I couldnāt care less about Sage. She had her chance and made her choice. Her loss. Plus, my heart has always belonged to someone else.
DAMON: (Wiggles his eyebrows) Ooh, who? Spill the tea, little brother.
PIETRO: Iāve always been intrigued by that. Am I really the little brother? I turned later in life, so technically Iām older than you in human years.
STEFAN: Huh, never thought of it that way. Interestingā¦
DAMON: Okay, Sigmund vs. Freud, letās not go down that spiral; keep it banal. Who has that cold heart feeling so warm?
PIETRO: Aletheia, or as you know her, The Madame. Given Veritasās history and obsession with her she was not an option. Although we did have a thing back in the 80ās, but we almost got caught, so we broke it off.
DAMON: I donāt get why everyone is so afraid of this Veritas guy. Even Dariusā¦
PIETRO: You know that old saying, some people just like to watch the world burn?
STEFAN: Itās āsome menā, and itās from a Batman movie...
Ā (they laugh).
PIETRO: Iāve seen my share of evil. Hell, Iāve been that share of evil. But never, in all my time on this earth, had I seen pure evil until I met him. This coming from a man who was friends with both Augustus and Darius. Veritas, is on a whole other levelā¦
DAMON: Canāt be worse than Cade, he was the freakinā Devil!
PIETRO: (Smirks) No, he wasnāt. He was a tragic hero with incredible psychic abilities. A man betrayed by those he loved and protected. After what they did to him, it was only natural he would channel his energy into rage and a thirst for revenge. Although all dangerous, the ones you really need to worry about are those that have no motive. The ones that inflict pain, for the sole reason of enjoying it. Veritas not only enjoys it; it is the only thing that gives him purpose.
STEFAN: Why was The Madame with him for all those years?
PIETRO: He has a very unique way of making you do whatever he wants you to do. Trust me, I would know. When it comes to psychic abilities, he rivals Cade, Darius, Aletheia, even Bonnie. He is the original.
DAMON: What do you mean by that?
PIETRO: He is the first psychic-vampire in existence, and the original vampire. That fairytale the Mikaelson witch told her children is a lie. She didnāt create the original vampires; Veritas did, starting with himself.
STEFAN: But heās not a witch, how could he create that spell?
PIETRO: I reckon he knew some very powerful witches. Rumor has it, three witches were involved. A Mikaelson, a Bennett, and a Bennion. And they used his psychic energy to do it.
DAMON: That sounds very farfetched, brother. Also, if that were true, how come the Mikaelsonās can compel other vampires?
PIETRO: Because their ancestor was involved with the original spell. I can assure the same would occur with a Bennett or a Bennion vampire.
DAMON: Ohā¦ So that would mean that technically, my mother-in-law could compel me?
STEFAN: Youāre lucky Abby doesnāt know she has the power to do that. Otherwise, Iām pretty sure she would have compelled you to stay away from Bonnie.
PIETRO: Since sheās bound to both bloodlines, she could actually compel Bonnie too.
DAMON: Are you kidding me?!Ā
Then we better make sure she never finds out! I know Abby all too well; she sure as hell will compel Bonnie to forget the wedding and make her think she still hates me!
Ā STEFAN: (Mocking)Ā Oh, no doubt!Ā
DAMON: This isnāt funny, Stefan! Ā
STEFAN: (Keeps teasing) Just saying, karma is a bitchā¦Ā
(Turns to Pietro) Okay, letās say this were true. How come Finnās bloodline died when he did?
PIETRO: Because they were linked by the original spell.
DAMON: But, what about the times Stefan and I have died, our bloodlines didnāt die along with us.
PIETRO: As I said, it only applies to the bloodlines of the witches involved in the spell. You might be married to a Bennett witch, but that doesnāt make you one.
STEFAN: I was already very confused with the original vampire storyline, now this?
PIETRO: Itās not that confusing. A triad of the most powerful witches on earth created a new species using the psychic energy of one of the most powerful psychics ever to exist. If you ask me, it makes more sense than the āoriginalā story.
STEFAN: Well, whatever canon, letās hope the so called āoriginalā didnāt survive. We have enough to deal with.
PIETRO: He did survive, we are here because of that. We might not be linked to the witches, but we are most definitely linked to the original vampire bloodline. If Veritas dies, we all die.
DAMON: (Sarcastic) Peachy! Not only are we finding out that what we thought was our origin is complete crap, now youāre telling us our survival depends on this psycho?!
PIETRO: He is not only a psychopath; he is also rather sadistic. And, has a very peculiar diet. He feeds on humans, and vampiresā¦
DAMON: So our supernatural papa is the vampire version of Hannibal Lector! This just keeps getting better!
STEFAN: And here I thought dealing with technology gone crazy was the wildest thing Iād ever see.
PIETRO: I wanted you to know the truth. And the real reason I never took care of Veritas myself.
DAMON: Guess thatās why The Madame didnāt eitherā¦
STEFAN: Speaking of, her and Anthony havenāt left their room at allā¦ I wish there were something we could do to help.
PIETRO: Edward meant everything to them. He was the child they could never have. Time, Stefan. Thatās the only thing that can help them heal.
DAMON: I still canāt believe he was willing to sacrifice everything for us.
PIETRO: He truly was extraordinaryā¦ The miracle child, beyond a doubt.
STEFAN: So, tell us more about this cult thing. Why did you ever get involved?
PIETRO: The Salvatoreās were one of the founding families. At the time, I thought it was my legacy. More so, I believed our father thought of me as the only one worthy of such legacy. That he loved me more than you because he chose me to be part of itā¦ How foolish was I?
DAMON: Well, I think itās safe to say we all have daddy issuesā¦
STEFAN: And mommy ones tooā¦
PIETRO: Oh, we are totally messed up! (They laugh).Ā
Well, whatever happens, Iām glad to be here with both of youā¦
STEFAN: Letās drink to that!Ā (They put their glasses up).
DAMON: To very fucked up family bonds!
ALL: Cheers! Ā
Cut to ā Akumal, Mexico. A small cottage by the sea. La Bruja, her daughter, La Brujita, and Iker have just finished a temazcal ritual.
Ā LA BRUJA: So, Iker, what did you think?
IKER: Holy shit! That was the most mind-blowing experience Iāve ever had! (They laugh). Ā Ā
LA BRUJITA:Ā Told you soā¦
LA BRUJA: Okay, Iāll leave you two alone. Are you guys in the mood for some pescadito envuelto en acuyo?
IKER: Always!
LA BRUJA: (Teasing) Good, ācause if you werenāt I wouldnāt care (she smirks and walks away). Ā
LA BRUJITA: So, during the ritual we contacted Bonnie. They are fine, but they donāt know how long theyāll have to stay inside the pocket dimension. Apparently, some of those things are still aroundā¦ Sheāll let us know once they have an action plan.
IKER: Weāll be ready for another fight, and weāll win this time.
LA BRUJITA: We willā¦Ā (kisses him).
Ā Cut back to ā Present day. The Bamon home, Bonnie and Damonās bedroom. Bonnie wakes up startled.
Ā DAMON: (Wakes up with her sudden movement)Ā
Bonā¦ whatās up? Are you okay?
BONNIE: (Looking wary) I had the craziest dream. Except, it felt so realā¦ More like a premonition... I need to summon La Bruja. I have a feeling she will be the only one that can help us survive thisā¦
DAMON: Survive what, Bon? Youāre freaking me out.
BONNIE: The end...
Ā Sorry it took so long to update! It has been some crazy ass couple of months.Ā
10x04 ā A Little Bird Told Me... Coming up next. Hope you stop by, read and enjoy! =)Ā
TVD 10x02 - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (part 1) Enjoy! =)
Cut to - Munich, Germany. Elena is in one of the lab morgues. She is leaning against the freezers, writing in her diary.
Ā Dear Diary,
Today will be different. I will start fresh. Be someone new. New year, new life, new diary. Iāve come all this way, thanks to my father, but I need to step out of his shadow, and make it on my own. I have to stop doubting myselfā¦ As that cute guy Sam told me, I was chosen for a reason. Itās time I start believing in myself and become the Elena Gilbert I always wanted to be. Away from Mystic Falls, the drama, the supernatural, the painā¦Ā Ā
But, just between us, I feel like something is offā¦ I mean, Iām glad to feel different, itās just that in a weird way, I donāt feel quite like myselfā¦ Maybe itās because the nightmares have come backā¦ They are so vivid, as if I were living through it once more. The freezing water, the air escaping my lungs, the despair of knowing they were with me. That horrible feeling, over and over againā¦ I thought I had healed, as much as one can heal from something like that, but I can still feel her hand slipping awayā¦ At times I think my dad blames me for letting her go. If he only knew the real reason both of us survived, maybe he wouldnāt resent it so much. Regardless, I will forever be thankful to Stefan for saving us that night. Although he still blames himself for not being able to save my mother, there was nothing anyone could have done.
Okay, enough about the past, I need to move on, build a new life for myself, and maybe, even find a new loveā¦ No vampires this time! Whatever comes, Iām living my life to the fullest! Letting myself be freeā¦ No fear, no guilt, no insecuritiesā¦ Project Munich, here I come!
Ā Suddenly, she hears a noise. If it werenāt coming from one of the freezer drawers, she wouldnāt be startled, but since it clearly is, her heart starts pounding. She approaches cautiouslyā¦Ā
Before she can even grab the handle, the drawer slams openā¦
SAM: Boo!
ELENA: Oh my god, Sam?! You scared me half to death!
SAM: (Smirking) Good thing it was just half way. Wouldnāt want you dying on me.
ELENA: Well, what if I had a heart condition?! I could have!
SAM: A heart condition, or died?
ELENA: Well, bothā¦ But you know what I mean! You are so weird!
SAM: This coming from the girl leaning against body freezers in the middle of the nightā¦
ELENA: At least I wasnāt lying in one of them like some kind of zombie!
SAM: Itās surprisingly relaxingā¦
ELENA: (Mocking) Being a zombie or lying in the freezers?
SAM: I suppose, bothā¦ (they crack up).
ELENA: Anyway, what are you doing here?
SAM: I like to come here to thinkā¦ Itās quiet. You?
ELENA: Sameā¦ Guess weāre a couple of weirdosā¦
SAM: A little eccentric is all. (They smile in complicity). I will confess though; I do have an alternative motiveā¦
ELENA: Oh, god. Please donāt tell me you are a psycho killer. Iāve dealt with enough of thoseā¦
SAM: Iām not going to ask why, but I do want to ask you somethingā¦
ELENA: (With a suspicious face) Uhm, okayā¦ what?
SAM: Do you like picnics?
ELENA: That question isnāt helping your psycho caseā¦ But, yeah, I do. Why?
SAM: How about you and me, tomorrowā¦ Wine and cheese in the main garden?
ELENA: (Kittenish) Are you asking me on a date?
SAM: Dependsā¦ is it a yes, or a no?
ELENA: Dependsā¦ is it red wine, or white?
SAM: Red, of course! What kind of a psycho drinks white wine?
ELENA: Plentyā¦ And, you literally just met me, so there is a risk I might actually be one of them.
SAM: (Flirtatious smirk) Iām willing to take the risk, if you areā¦
ELENA: What the hell! Life is too short to play it safe.
SAM: I like the way you think. Itās a date then!
ELENA: Itās a date. Ā Ā Ā
SAM: Huh, I totally thought that was going to failā¦
ELENA: You never know until you try, right?
SAM: (Smiles) I guess you donātā¦ Listen, itās really late, do you want me to walk you to your dorm? I know this place is infested with military, but what if you run into a ghost? Pretty sure they would be clueless about how to handle that.
ELENA: (Laughs) Neither would you. But, you are not nearly as scary as they are, so Iād rather take my chances with you.
SAM: (Teasing) I happen to be a paranormal aficionado; I know how to handle a ghost.
ELENA: Oh, really?
SAM: Iāve seen all Ghost Busters movies a million times! I know what Iām doing!
ELENA: (Sarcastic) A Ghost Busters fanboy, thatās very comfortingā¦ (As they are walking out) Oh! And donāt think that just because I agreed to go on a date with you, I wonāt get you back for the near heart attack you gave me ā¦ I happen to be a real horror movie aficionada; better watch your backā¦
Cut to ā Mystic Falls Town Hall. Matt has been officially sworn in to take office as the new Mayor of Mystic Falls. Although he is worried about Edwardās abrupt decision, especially knowing the context behind his un-rational behavior, he canāt help but feel proud. This is what he had wanted all his life. And, given Edwardās current psychological condition, this decision was probably for the best.
Ā COUNCIL SPEAKER: Mayor Donovan, I speak on behalf of all my colleagues, we welcome you to this body of representatives with open arms, and ensure you that you have our full support, respect, and commitment.
MATT: It is my honor to have been entrusted with this duty. I will work day and night to rightfully serve our town, my home town. I will forever be grateful to Mayor Powell for believing in me, and giving me the opportunity to give back to the people that have built this town from scratch. In my first order of duty, I hereby announce the newly appointed Chief of Police, Sheriff Jackson. A woman of honor, courage and morals. I am certain she will serve this town with honor, loyalty, truth, knowledge and commitment. Please, give her a round of applause.Ā Ā
SHERIFF JACKSON: Thank you, Mayor Donovan. I wear the badge with pride. I am humbled and honored to be given this responsibility. Trust that my team and I will follow the example you gave to us, and will serve and protect this community with the same passion and commitment you did. We might be in different offices now, but we will always be family.Ā Ā
MATT: Always! Thank you, Sherriff Jackson. I have no doubt that you will surpass both mine and my predecessorās accomplishments. In closing, Iād like to say that although we face many challenges ahead, Iām confident that we can overcome any obstacle by working together, always prioritizing people. Mystic Falls is a town built by its citizens, for its citizens. It is our duty to ensure the wellness and prosperity of all. Once again, thank you. Time to get to work! (They applaud).
Cut to ā The Mikaelson mansion. Abby and Klaus are talking about Hope settling-in at the Salvatore School, among other things.
Ā ABBY: Hope looked so happy... And her dorm room is amazing! At the main house and a single! How lucky was she!
KLAUS: I had to āpersuadeā Alaric to make sure she was given the best accommodations.
ABBY: (Smiles) Iām sure you didā¦ Ā
KLAUS: And how is Bonnie settling in her new home? I honestly cannot comprehend how she could voluntarily agree to spend day and night with Damon Salvatore. Are we certain he is not compelling her?
ABBY: (Smirks) You know he canāt, although I kind of wish that was the reason (they laugh). From what she told me this morning; the house is beautiful. Guess weāll have to wait and see, if she ever invites us over.
KLAUS: She will, love, give her some time. They just moved in together, they need their privacy. Ā (Suddenly, the door opens, in come Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, Freya, Marcel, and Danae, suitcases and all). Uhm, excuse me, what is this unexpected visit about? Our family reunion isnāt until springā¦
ELIJAH: Lovely to see you too, brother. Do pardon if our sudden arrival interrupts your tea time, but we are in a bit of a pickle. We have been cursed out of New Orleans; and, the last time I checked, this was also our home.
KLAUS: I am gone, for not even a month, and you somehow manage to get yourselves thrown out of what is rightfully ours? How exactly did that come to be?
MARCEL: Why donāt you ask Kolā¦
KOL: Oh, come on, Marcellus, itās as much your fault as it is mine. And, donāt act so innocent, Elijah. You had your hand in this too.
ELIJAH: (Fixing his cufflinks) Maybe a littleā¦
REBEKAH: While you boys decide who is to blame, Iāll go settle down in my bedroom.
KLAUS: You canāt. We turned it into a games room.
REBEKAH: (Indignant) Excuse me?!! How dare you!? Why my room?! Why not Elijahās or Kolās!?
KLAUS: Yours was better fitted for the purpose. Nothing personal, love.
REBEKAH: Oh, Iām sure it wasnātā¦ (Turns to Abby) And definitely nothing to do with you, right?
ABBY: (Sarcastic) Of course not, I wouldnāt dare! This was all him!
KLAUS: (Smirks) Traitorā¦ Ā Anyhow, dear sister, there are plenty of other rooms you can choose from.
REBEKAH: Whatever. Iāll go find myself a room you two havenāt ruined, yet.
FREYA: Iām coming with. You people forget Iāve never been in this house!
DANAE: Really? I thought you had. I mean, even I have stayed here.
FREYA: And, thanks for rubbing that in, my love.
DANAE: No ill intentions, hon. Iām just surprised.
FREYA: (Sarcastic) Guess being a Mikaelson didnāt grant me the privilege, but being Klausās best friendās girlfriend sure did.
KLAUS: Oh, donāt be so dramatic, sister. You are here now, are you not?
REBEKAH:Ā Forget him, sis, this is our house too. Weāll give you the grand tour. Once we get dibs on the best rooms (they leave). Ā
KLAUS: So, dear brothers, care to explain to me exactly how you got yourselves into this āpickleā?
ELIJAH:Ā We will. But we are going to need something stronger than teaā¦
ABBY: Oh, itās not tea. We just pretend it is, so we donāt feel like we are day drinking.
KOL: Who cares about that! We are vampires, love; we can do whatever we want!
KLAUS:Ā KLAUS: (Sarcastic) My loving brother Kol, can we please go back to the topic at hand? Iād like to know exactly how long I can expect to have you all around.
ELIJAH: It is going to be a whileā¦
MARCEL: If not forever.
KOL: (Mocking) Look on the bright side, Marcellus, youāll have time to get to know Mystic Falls. Despite what some believe, it is quite the charming little townā¦ And, our home sweet home, for nowā¦ Better get used to it.
Cut to ā Pietroās mansion. Him and Darius are having a āsecretā con-call after their board meeting.
Ā PIETRO: Iāve had just about enough. We need to retaliate for this. You didnāt see the aftermath, this place looked like a slaughterhouse.
DARIUS: Courtesy of your ripper brother, I presume?
PIETRO: Not sure which one of them did it, or if it was the three of them, but I had to get a professional cleaner.
DARIUS: You should really consider getting video surveillance, clears these types of doubts right up.
PIETRO: Never, those things give me all sorts of peeping Tom vibes. Anyway, Iām sorry about your witch friends, Iāll make it up to you.
DARIUS: I warned you not to play games. Now weāve lost a coven of very talented witches, three potential recruits; we are clueless as to where the others are, and made the rest of the board members believe everything was going according to planā¦ (Sarcastic) Kudos!
PIETRO: Donāt you dare give me attitude about this, you have messed up worse than I have.
DARIUS: True; fair enough. Letās not enter into panic mode, itās a minor misstep. Weāll find them soon enough. In the meantime, as per Augustusās orders, it seems like I have to find a replacement for Kaiā¦
PIETRO: That was certainly an unexpected surprise. I thought he would be pleased with his progress.
DARIUS: Iām beginning to think Augustus feels threaten, more so after I shared Kaiās recent achievements.
PIETRO: Did you sense something was off with him during the call?
DARIUS: Well, the Augustus I know would have had Kai killed if he wanted him out of the game, not fired.
PIETRO: And itās strange that he was willing for this Tamara thing to take more time, as long as Kai was off the task.
DARIUS: (Teasing) Maybe heās starting to like his hostage situation; Stockholm syndrome type of thing?
PIETRO: (Smirks) Perhapsā¦ Regardless, both Kai and Katerina would have been excellent for the field battle; they have stamina, and are surely gifted in terms of the supernatural. Ā
DARIUS: I know. But there are plenty of fish in the sea. From what Veritas showed us with the Munich project, and the āgadgets Iāve been working on with Kai, soon we might have even stronger pawns to play around with.
PIETRO: Hey, I had a lot to do with the Munich project. Iām not letting him take all the credit! I led that project for years, set all the ground work, and the money.
DARIUS: Donāt be so defensive, my friend. We all know you did an excellent job. But, you have to give him some credit, Veritas is hardcore when it comes to discipline. As soon as he brought in the military, voilĆ !
PIETRO: (Snarky) His leading style borders on dictatorship, I prefer a motivational approach.
DARIUS: Iām with you on that. He sure as hell can scare the shit out of anyone into doing anything. Just ask Aletheiaā¦
PIETRO: He is the oldest vampire in existence, and a psychic one, nonetheless; of course he can. Iām not ashamed to admit it; he has almost made me āpiss my pantsā once or twice.
DARIUS: I can say the same. You know, itās truly fascinating that the so called āOriginalsā are oblivious to the fact about their true originsā¦ Iām sure Veritas would have a blast with them, if they ever manage to figure it out.
PIETRO: Oh, Iām sure they will, if not for their wits, definitely once our plans unfold.
DARIUS: I call dibs on first row seats!
PIETRO: I want the full behind the scenes experience! (They laugh).
DARIUS: Well, I have to run now. I need to go fire my star employee and the Russian spyā¦
PIETRO: Good luck. Weāll talk soon.
Cut to ā The Bamon home. The gang is in the āBatcaveā planning their next move.
SAGE: (Starting to worry about Pietroās retaliation for their escape). We are 100% sure this place canāt be found, right? Iām not very familiar with the witch stuff; or the vampire stuff for that matter; Iām a newbie.
BONNIE: Donāt worry, there is no way anyone can find it.
SAGE: Not even that Darius guy?
BONNIE: Especially not him.
SAGE: Canāt they track your cellphones?
BONNIE: Not while the house is cloaked. Beauty of magic.
SAGE: This magic stuff is really cool!
BONNIE: You aināt seen nothing yetā¦ But, fair warning, it can get a little weirdā¦
CAROLINE: (Teasing) Just a little? (They laugh)Ā Donāt worry, you are in good hands.
SAGE:Ā Sorry; freaked out for a momentā¦ Pietro can be quite vicious when heās angry, and Iām sure heās fuming right about now.
DAMON:Ā Donāt be scared, Stefan and I got years on him. Now, back to the mission at hand. How are we going to break into this place without Kai?
STEFAN: What if we give our brother a taste of his own medicine? He can be our way in.
DAMON: I love when your mind goes devious, brother. What exactly are you thinking of?
STEFAN: There is an upside to having an Original vampire in town, and one who just happens to be in love with Bonnieās momā¦ Iām betting heāll do just about anything to get on your good side, Bon. Ā
BONNIE: Stefan, you are a genius!Ā
And, he does owe me big time! But, letās avoid the whole ābeing in love with Bonnieās momā thing; still freaks me out.
STEFAN: Not another word on that, Bon.
DAMON: Ah, blackmail, deceit, and compulsion, my kind of tactics!
BONNIE: Iāll call my mom to invite them over for dinner, then weāll guilt trip them into their part of the plan.
SAGE: Bit lost again, whatās an Original vampire?
CAROLINE: Oh, Sage. There is so much for you to learn about the vamp world. Stick with us, and youāll learn everything you need to know.
SAGE: That would be amazing! Been pretty much self-taught since I was turned, which was literally just weeks ago.
CAROLINE: I know firsthand how important it is to have a mentor when you are new at this. We got your back.
SAGE: Thank you, Iāll take all the help I can get.
CAROLINE: Weāll help you with the supernatural, youāll help us with the Science; win, win. The sooner we get these guys, the sooner we can go back to our normal lives.
SAGE: Deal! To be honest, I was thinking about fleeing back to Germany the moment I got away from Pietroās claws. Forget all this craziness and just return to being a student, with a new blood craving. But I think academia is pumped up to be more than it really is. What good are all the fancy titles without being on the battle ground? Iāve done my fair share of studying, itās time I apply my knowledge for the common good, and this seems like the perfect cause to do so. Now that we know they are okay; I have no reason to go back. (Turns to Bonnie and Damon) Donāt panic, Iām not planning to stay here. As soon as we take care of this, Iām going back home to NYC; I really miss it.
BONNIE: (Smiles) Weāre not panicking. And you can stay here for as long as you need.
CAROLINE: Okay, just so we are all aligned. Weāll get Klaus to compel Pietro, but how exactly are we going to get to Pietro? We canāt have Klaus show up at his house and be like: hello, Iām going to compel you nowā¦
STEFAN: Weāll make sure heās alone and lure him outside. Then Klaus, Damon and I, will take it from there. Three against one, should be a piece of cake.
DAMON: Sounds like a plan. Now, on to a crucial matter. (Turns to Bonnie) First time having my mother-in-law over for dinner, what should be the menu?
BONNIE: (Smirks) Whatever you want will be perfect.
DAMON:Ā How about Italian? Play it safe...
BONNIE: Ooh, gnocchi arrabbiata?
DAMON: Perfetto!
CAROLINE: (Giddy) Aw, I love domestic Bamon!
DAMON: Donāt think you are just going to stand and watch, you are all helping!
The only one that gets a free pass is Bonnie, she has somewhere to go.
BONNIE: Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about thatā¦
CAROLINE: Bon, are you sure you donāt want one of us to come with you?
BONNIE: Iām sure. Thank you, Care. Iām gonna head out now before it gets late. I wonāt be long (kisses Damon).Ā
I love you...
DAMON:Ā I love you too. Head message me if you need anything.
BONNIE: I will (she leaves).
STEFAN: (To Damon) Are you okay?
DAMON: Iāll be fine when I know sheās fineā¦
CAROLINE: I still canāt believe heās back! He better have a damn good explanation, otherwise Iām going to send him right back where he came from!
DAMON: You and me both, Blondie...Ā
Alright, I need to keep my mind busy, so letās get to work. Making gnocchi is a mission on its own!

Irrefutable evidence that Damon was in love with Bonnie, but was oblivious to the fact (part 4)
Exhibit D
Season 7, episodes 14 & 15
Since Iāll be submitting a variety of scenes from 2 episodes, I will only leave the video evidence in this one:
Okay, this one is going to serve two purposes; one, to once again prove that Damon was in love with Bonnie; second, to use a controversial argument to do it. The argument in question: Damonās decision to desiccate without telling Bonnie, or saying goodbye.
To put things into context, it is crucial to consider the previous events that took place before he made this decision. Bonnie almost died trying to protect Damon from Tyler in the armory. Why is this so important? Because Damon was absolutely terrified when this happened. Now, does this justify him desiccating and leaving Bonnie behind, not at all, but it is extremely relevant to understand his motive. What is the only thing Damon couldnāt possibly deal with? It sure as hell wasnāt not being able to be with Elena, he had been dealing with that the best he could. It was NOT being able to protect Bonnie. His decision to desiccate had NOTHING to do with Elena, and EVERYTHING to do with Bonnie. He couldnāt bear with the mere possibility of Bonnie getting hurt, much less if it had something to do with him. The Tyler situation was too close, it was at that moment when it hit him, as long as he was close to her, she would always be in danger.
Did he take the cowards way out? Maybe, but it is very understandable, and totally within his character. Damon always tries to avoid rather than confront; specially when itās something that scares him. Another reason why he probably never faced the fact that he was in love with Bonnie. Point in place clearly being that Damon desiccated because he loved Bonnie, so much so, that he was willing to ālooseā her, as long as that meant she would be safe. Damn, if that doesnāt scream out love, I donāt know what does.
Ironically, and despite the popular opinion, it was the most self-less act he ever did in the name of love; putting himself out of the equation (as he said it himself) was the only way for him to be sure that no harm would ever come to Bonnie at his expense. That is the core difference between his feelings for Bonnie vs. his feelings for Elena. With Bonnie; and I will specify that this is at this point in time, after they became close friends, because he obviously didnāt feel like this before; Damon cares about HER, he is willing to give anything up for her happiness and safety. With Elena, itās more about HIM, what Elena represents to him, which in all honesty, is nothing more than catering to his obsession, and finally getting āthe girlā (there is endless evidence to prove this).
But, why did Damon decide not to tell Bonnie, and to say goodbye in a letter? Because if he would have, he wouldnāt have gone through with it, and I will come back to this point, when we review the next exhibit, which is the letter. Think about it, he told Stefan, but he COULDNāT tell Bonnie. And, most importantly, he LEAVES his brother (although temporary as he states, since they are vampires), but he walks away from him (knowing he has that scar), to make sure Bonnie will be safe; which is something Damon has NEVER done before.
Then, when Bonnie shows up at the storage, notice how at first he tries to play it off as a no biggie, trying to build on their jokes/and insults dynamic; but when she cries and tells him that it hurts her, he completely changes his expression; trying to reach out to her (put extra attention on his eye expressions, and hard swallowing). But, why doesnāt he say anything? Because if he did, and Bonnie knew the real reason he was doing this, she would most definitely stop him from doing it. As long as she thinks heās doing this for himself, he knows she will, although hurt and pissed, let him go.
To reinforce the point of just how much Damon loves Bonnie, Iām going to submit a second piece of evidence from a firsthand source, Ian himself, clearly stating this:
So, in closing, I think that we can all agree that Damonās decision to desiccate was clear and irrefutable evidence that DamonĀ LOVED Bonnie; and, as Ian pointed out, he loved her more than ANYONE he knows (Elena included).
Irrefutable evidence that Damon was in love with Bonnie, but was oblivious to the fact (part 5)
Exhibit E
Season 8, Episode 10
Extract from the official TVD Transcript
DAMON: Hey.
BONNIE: Hey, stranger.
DAMON: Looks like I'm interrupting a reflective moment.
BONNIE: It's fine. I'm reflecting on the good things for a change.
DAMON: Wish I could say the same thing.
BONNIE: What you did while you were under Sybil's control wasn't your fault, Damon. You didn't have a choice.
DAMON: "Dear Bonnie. Iām a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter but I know if I do, you'll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You're gonna make me face the future without Elena and you're gonna help make me the best man I can possibly be, same way she did. And I'm absolutely terrified of failing you both. So I'm leaving, because I'd rather let you down once than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it's the happiest life because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend. With great love and respect, Damon."
BONNIE: Gotta admit, it's a hell of a letter.
The Video Edivence
The Argument
Ā Ah, the letterā¦ where to even start with this iconic piece of evidence! Letās begin with the timing. Bonnie goes into Damonās subconscious, and is the key player in being able to help Damon snap out of his comatose state. Just after Bonnie was in his subconscious, and helps him work through his issues, he finally finds the courage to let her know what he wrote in that letterā¦. coincidence? I think not!
Ā Now, letās recap. In the previous exhibit we established that Damonās decision to desiccate was for Bonnie, and that the only way he was going to manage to pull this off, was by having her think he was doing this for himself; and not telling her about his decision in person, but through a letter. A letter he knew she would be too pissed to read, giving him enough time to go through with his plan. This point is extremely important, Damon knew Bonnie wasnāt going to read the letter (or at least any time soon), he knows her all too well; reason why, it was the perfect medium for him to truly express his feelings and motivation. Another crucial point here, is that Bonnie assumed that Damon said goodbye through a letter, because that way he could imagine her reaction but not actually see it; which is why she says: ābut thatās not my reaction, this isā¦ā. He knew he could bare his soul in that letter, and that, when she eventually found it in herself to read it; she would understand why he made that decision. And so, three years later, that moment finally came. Except, she didnāt read the letter, he actually recited it to her, by memory! That alone, says a lot; I mean he freaking memorized it! You only memorize the things that truly matter. Now, on to the letter itself, and we are going to analyze the shit out of each word. Here we goā¦
Ā Dear Bonnie,
Iām a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter, but... I know if I do, you'll talk me out of running away from all my problems.
These first words clearly reflect he is talking to himself first. He recognizes he is a coward, that he couldnāt face Bonnie, and that he is running away from his problemsā¦ Except the problems he is talking about is not what youād expect; giving the context we have already proven to be right, which is that he desiccated for Bonnie, not for Elena. He is acknowledging that he is running away from confronting his problems, which are, whether he sees it or not, the fact that he has fallen in love with his āloverāsā best friend, that he has no idea how to deal with it, how he could ever confront her (and here I refer to both Elena and Bonnie), or himself with that truth. I know, you might think, thatās a bit farfetched; but just bear with me, and Iāll prove it to be true.
Ā You're gonna make me face a future without Elena.
Letās ask ourselves this question, why is Damon writing as if there is no future with Elena? Again, sheās just in a long-ass nap, so there would be a future with herā¦. The only way there couldnāt be one, was if he didnāt see one. Aw, the subconscious can be a little sneaky beash sometimes!
Ā And you're gonna help make me the best man that I can possibly be.
I have to take a breath hereā¦ Okay, all better now. Can we all agree that these words prove that the woman, Damon acknowledged as the one that can ACTUALLY help him become a better man, is the one and only, Bonnie Bennet!!! I mean, come on, clear as water!!!!!
Ā The same way she did.
Now, this was clearly a forced insert from the writers to make sure the audience knew Elena was the one that made Damon a better man. Maybe this could have fooled someone if they hadnāt already showed us that he in fact wasnāt. Damon did a hell of a lot of awful things when he was with Elena, and also in her name. So, this is obviously untrue, and a clear sabotage of Damonās handwriting. What we did witness was that the only character development Damon ever got, the only time Damon did things because they were the right thing to do (not just doing right for someone, but doing right because itās right), came out of his friendship with Bonnie. Sorry writers, we caught you tampering with evidence, so this specific line, is discarded.
And I'm absolutely terrified of failing you both.
We are going to discard the ābothā, given the previous argument. Having said that, this is clearly Damon expressing, and admitting, his deepest fear is failing Bonnie! Not only by not being able to protect her, but also by not being the man she deserves. Ā
Ā So I'm leaving. Because I'd rather let you down once...
Extremely telling words; he has let down Elena, numerous times, said so by herself, so why would he say, ālet you down onceā¦ā? Because he is obviously ONLY talking about Bonnie; this to reinforce the last 2 points; and the fact that the ONLY thing Damon couldnāt bear with, was failing Bonnie. As previously proven, this had NOTHING to do with Elena.
Ā than let you down for the rest of your life.
This conveys just how much Damon values Bonnie; heād rather leave her than let her down; her happiness and wellbeing are above anything else. It also clearly shows how much he cares about what she thinks of him. And of course, how afraid he is of telling her how he really feels about her; his self-doubt about being a man worthy of her love, because he knows she deserves the world. Which is reinforced by the next linesā¦
Ā And I hope it's the happiest life.
If this is not indisputable evidence that Damonās sole concern is BONNIEāS happiness, I donāt know what is! These words prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the ONLY time Damon has ever truly, selflessly, and sincerely, loved and cared for a woman, itās this time; and that woman is BONNIE SHEILA BENNETT.
Ā Because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend.
I mean, come on, when has your ābest friendā ever said something like this to you? And if they have, itās because they are in love with you! This is clearly NOT PLATONIC! And it shows, yet again, just how much Damon cares for Bonnie. With a nice addition in reference to their cute bickering dynamic, a trademark in their relationship.
Ā With great love and respect,
Damon.
Letās highlight, āgreat love and respectā, the only time Damon Salvatore has EVER uttered such words to ANY woman he has been related to. With Bonnie, Damon finally found what loving someone was truly aboutā¦ It wasnāt about obsession, possession, codependency, or something that had to be ācomplicatedā. In fact, it was as simple as: LOVE + RESPECT = TRUE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to understand. These words prove that Damon LOVES and RESPECTS Bonnie.
Ā In sum, through this letter we see a side of Damon he wouldnāt dare show anyone else; exceptā¦ Bonnie. She, and only she, knows the real Damon Salvatore. As a closing statement: Damn! We gotta admit, thatās A HELL OF A LETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ā Nice addition, the actual letter evidence. This is what the letter really said, but since Damon was still afraid Bonnie might figure him out, he changed a thing or two while reciting it š
Ā Dear Bonnie,
I'm a coward. I should be saying this to your face not writing this letter but, I know if I do, you'll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You're gonna make me face a future without Elena, and you're gonna help make me the best man that I can possibly be. And I'm absolutely terrified of failing you. So I'm leaving. Because I'd rather let you down once, than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it's the happiest life, because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, mediocre crossword player, and my best friend.
TVD 9x16 - What happens in Vegas... (part 1 of part 1) Enjoy!
Cut to - The Salvatore mansion family room, present day. Damon is watching Bonnie sleep. She wakes up slowlyā¦
BONNIE: Ian?
DAMON: Ian? Who the heck is Ian? And tell me where he is, so I can kick his ass!
BONNIE: (Smiles) Sorry, had the craziest dreamā¦ And your name was Ian, for some screwed up reasonā¦
DAMON: Oh, okayā¦ then Ian is cool in my book! (Smirks and gives her a kiss).
BONNIE: What time is it?
DAMON: Almost 3pmā¦
BONNIE: What! Oh my god! I had to be at the airport an hour ago to meet Elena! Shit! Shit!
DAMON: Uhmā¦ Bonā¦ donāt you remember?
BONNIE: Remember what?
DAMON: About Elenaā¦
BONNIE: What about Elena?
DAMON: Her flight got canceled; she got another one straight to Vegas. You donāt remember?
BONNIE: I do, I doā¦ Told you, strange dreamā¦ Iām still a bit drowsy.
DAMON: Well, she wonāt be able to help you bring all that ābacheloretteā stuff. But the bachelor boys are heading the same way; Iām sure we can fit some of it; just promise me thereās nothing illegal in those bags.
BONNIE: (Mischievous smile) I canāt promise you thatā¦
Cut to ā Two days later, somewhere in the middle of the Mojave desert. Damon, who looks like hell, is dialing on his cell. Behind him, a crashed police car with Alaric, Iker, and Kai inside; also looking like crap. They are wearing nothing but their underwear.
Ā DAMON: Care, itās Damonā¦ Listen ...The bachelor party got a little crazy and, well...we lost Stefan.
BONNIE: Uhmā¦think we might have a problem of our ownā¦
DAMON: Bon?
BONNIE: Itās me, I thinkā¦ Anyway; the bachelorette got a little crazy too, and, wellā¦ we lost Caroline.
Cut to ā A couple of hours earlier. A Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort.Ā
Damon wakes up confused, he is lying on the bathroom floor, drool coming out of his mouth, brain drilling headache. His vision is blurry, but he manages to recognize a familiar face, lying inside an empty bathtub, completely passed out. The familiar face is Kai, dressed in what seems to be a ballerina tutu.Ā
He stares at him for a minute, wondering why he is thereā¦ not in the bathtub, but in Vegas; he hadnāt been invited. Oh well, heāll figure it out later. For now, he needs to do an overall casualty assessment. He gets up slowly, holding on to whatever is at hand. He eventually gains the balance to find his way out of the bathroom, and into the living room. The place is a war zone, the hotel bill wonāt be cheap! Amongst the debris of the previous night, he searches for other survivorsā¦Ā
Soon enough he finds Alaric, also passed out, half of his body hanging over the piano, which, to Damonās surprise, a monkey seems to be playing.
DAMON: What theā¦ Ā (shushes the monkey away from the piano, shakes Alaric to wake him up, no responseā¦ He hears a sound coming from a mount of sofa cushions and clothes; someone is under thereā¦ itās Iker, who slowly fights his way out).
IKER: (Looking messed up and disoriented) Hey, manā¦ (looks around, grabs his head) What the hell happened last night?
DAMON: Beats meā¦ I can barely remember my own nameā¦Ā
(Alaric wakes up suddenly, holding his hands up in a cheer).
ALARIC: Jackpot, bitches!!!!!!!!!!! (He realizes he has no idea where he is, or making any sense). Hey, guysā¦ where am I? What are we doing here? Ā
DAMON: (Sarcastic) Oh, boyā¦ I have a feeling this is gonna be fun!
(Kai walks out of the bathroom, passes them by, but apparently doesnāt notice they are there, and goes into the master bedroom, throws himself on the bed. Just as he gets comfy, he realizes something is very wrongā¦Ā
There is an elephant in the room; literally. Jumps up, screams like a little girl, runs out of the room and shuts the door).
KAI: Holy shit! Thereās an elephant in the room!
DAMON: Iād say youāre right, stalker boy. What the hell are you doing here?
KAI: ā¦ I have no idea, but I swear, there is an elephant in that room!
DAMON: Are you sure it isnāt Stefan? He can look pretty scary in the morningā¦
(Goes to check it out, vamps back about a second later) Nop, that aināt Stefanā¦ and there is definitely an elephant in the room... (takes a drink).
ALARIC: So, where is Stefan? And, why the hell is he (referring to Kai) here!
DAMON: Ric, I think we have more important things to focus on right nowā¦ Like, for example, there is a freakin elephant in the room! Itās a baby elephant, yes, but still, a freaking elephant! Those things are dangerous! Oh, and Iām pretty sure thereās also a loose monkey somewhere around here! What the hell did we do last night? Rob a zoo?!
IKER: The only thing I have a vague memory of, is a steakhouse, a casinoā¦ a strip joint?
KAI: That pretty much describes all of Las Vegas, so, not a lot to go on.
DAMON: Okay, okay, Iām sure we can figure this out.
ALARIC: Letās just find Stefan and get the hell out of here, before they put us in jail.
DAMON: Fine. Shouldnāt take too long. Ric and I will check every corner of the villa. Iker, you and psycho boy check around the hotelā¦ restaurant, pool area, casino, etc.
IKER: (To Kai) Think you can keep up, princess?
KAI: (He hadnāt noticed he was wearing a tutu until this moment; he looks at Damon) This was definitely your doing! (Takes the tutu off).
Ā (They search everywhere, Stefan is nowhere to be found. They teamback at the villa).
Ā ALARIC: Well, weāve searched everywhere, heās not here. (Sarcastic) This is great! The wedding is tomorrow, our plane leaves in a couple of hours, and we are missing the groom...Ā
We should call Caroline, maybe he ditched us and joined the girlās party.
DAMON: And if he didnāt?
ALARIC: They can help us find him.
DAMON: Did you get brain damage last night?!Ā
No way we are calling Caroline! Iād like to live a long and happy life with my Bon-Bon, so, not an option! Ā Just chill, weāll find him. He couldnāt have gone that farā¦ itās Stefan, heās probably hunting bunnies. All we have to do is retrace our steps from last night, and weāll find him.
ALARIC: The main issue beingā¦ none of us seem to remember anything about last night!
KAI: (Coming from another part of the room) Okay, I just called reception, they assure there is no Stefan Salvatore at any of the area hospitals, morgues, or police stationsā¦
DAMON: No shit, Sherlock, he is a vampire! Of course he wouldnāt be in any of those placesā¦
IKER: Waitā¦ a police carā¦ I remember we were in a police car!
DAMON: Ooh, that canāt be goodā¦
KAI: Oh, oh, oh, no, no, noā¦ (looks at his hand) This canāt be good either (shows them a very tacky ring).
DAMON: Come on, thatās just your daylight ring.
KAI: No, noā¦ I donāt need a ring for thatā¦ which means this is ā¦ (takes the ring off, sees itās engraved) most definitely a wedding ring! Ā
ALARIC: Who the hell would be crazy enough to marry you?!!
IKER: (Cracking up) Shit, this too funnyā¦
DAMON: (Takes the ring from Kai, reads the inscription) āTo my knight in shining armour, from your damsel in distressā - Cupidās Wedding Chapel. Well, boys, I believe we have a leadā¦Ā
We need to go to this chapel, ask them if they remember us; and if Stefan was with us.
KAI: And who the hell I married!
DAMON: (Sarcastically) Oh, Iām sure sheās a lovely gal.
ALARIC: Iāll get us an uberā¦
Cut to ā Cupidās Wedding Chapel.Ā
As soon as they walk in, the receptionist recognizes them.
RECEPTIONIST: Oh, shit! You guys are back!? Please, just no stealing the āKingāsā costume this time!
DAMON: You remember us?
RECEPTIONIST: Of course I remember you! You guys are crazy! Specially you, damsel (winks at Kai). Where are the other three?
ALARIC: What other three? We are only missing oneā¦
RECEPTIONIST: Uhm, no you arenāt; there were seven of you. You fourā¦ the wolf man, the cop, and the handsome hero hair guy.
DAMON: So Stefan was here with us, thatās a start!
ALARIC: And, apparently, Matt and Tyler tooā¦ So, not only did we lose the groom, we managed to loose two members of the wedding party. (Sarcastic) Fantastic!
KAI: Listen, I really need you to tell me who I married last night...
RECEPTIONIST: Sure, you married Whitney Houston; you lucky bastard!
KAI: What!? I mean, I love me some Whitney, but, really? She married me?
RECEPTIONIST: (Looking confused, and a bit sorry for him)Ā
Well, an impersonator, obviously. The real Whitney has been dead for a while. Boy, your hang-over must really be screwing with you.
IKER: Donāt these places usually offer packages? Like photo albums and stuffā¦
RECEPTIONIST: We sure do.
IKER: Did we, or he (referring to Kai), buy any?
RECEPTIONIST: The whole nine yards. I thought thatās why you guys came back. (Takes out a box of wedding souvenirs and a photo album) Lookā¦ mugs, crystal balls, pins, key chainsā¦
DAMON: Letās go straight for the albumā¦ (They go through the photos. Some are āsomewhatā normal...
Others, go along these linesā¦ Ā Kai, dressed as a ballerina, and the bride dressed as a noble knight. Stefan, wearing an Elvis outfit, mastering every single one of his iconic poses. Iker and Damon playing catch with the brideās bouquet. Alaric, sneaking about, in full Indiana Jones mission. Matt, riding an inflatable unicorn, role-playing to be the Lone Ranger. Tyler, on all fours, howling).
DAMON: (Terrified at the pics they just saw) Oh godā¦ I donāt even want to know...
ALARIC: (Sharing the sentiment) Oh, fuck no... apparently, I was the one to walk Kai down the aisleā¦ Those pictures really need to be destroyedā¦.
RECEPTIONIST: Iām telling youā¦ you guys are totally insane!
ALARIC: You donāt happen to know where we were heading when we left here, do you?
RECEPTIONIST: No. But you did mention something about settling a debt; getting Britney Spears back for somethingā¦
ALARIC: Britney Spears?
RECEPTIONIST: Yep; the hero hair guy kept going on and on, about her owing him big time; and that he was going to collectā¦ And you (referring to Damon) kept saying āItās Britney, bitch!ā Thatās all I got, hope it helps. (Alaric looks at Damon to see if he remembers anything from hearing that ā¦)
DAMON: Sorry, man, Iām at a blankā¦
IKER: Waitā¦ I think Iām getting a flashbackā¦ of you (referring to Damon), strip dancing to āGimme Moreā?
DAMON: Noā¦ Iād never strip dance to that! Britney Spears? Nice try, but nop.
KAI: Oh, come on, everyone loves Britney! Ā
ALARIC: I think I remember thatā¦ God, please, take that image out of my head! Of all things, thatās what you chose for me to remember?! Have some mercy! Ā
DAMON: If I didā¦ I probably rocked it (winks and smirks).
IKER: Okay, Iām definitely gonna need therapy after this trip.
ALARIC: Well, we got all the information we are going to get from this place; and I donāt think I want to find out more. So, whatās next?
DAMON: I say we pay Miss Spears a visitā¦
ALARIC: First, no one would ever let us be less than 300 feet from her. Second, thatās ridiculous; she is obviously not involved, aside from you stripping to her songs. What we need to find is that strip joint we apparently went to after, or before, this place.
IKER: (Who has stumbled upon a box of matches in his pocket) Maybe this can helpā¦ (shows them a very tacky match box, which reads: Mystic Divas.
Cut to ā Mystic Divas strip joint. The place, given the hour, is obviously closed. Just as they are about to leave, a woman, wearing Whitneyās āQueen of the Nightā outfit, spots them as they are about to leave.
Ā LADY: My princess! (Runs to hug Kai and kisses him) Why you bail on me last night?! Thought we were having fun!
KAI: Uhmā¦ Iām guessing you are, my knight in shining armour? Ā
LADY: Sure am! Till death do us partā¦ (Sees Kaiās terrified face and laughs) Donāt worry, it was only pretend, honey, nothing permanent. We were both really drunk and thought it would be fun.
DAMON: (Sarcastic) Awā¦what a love story! (To the lady) Sweetheart, you think you can help us put some dots together?
LADY: I can, but there is no way Iām letting you on my stage again. And, donāt call me sweetheart.
ALARIC: So, we were here last night?
LADY: Physically, yes. But Iām not sure any other part came along. Yāall were completely wasted.
IKER: All, meaning us four; or were there more?
LADY: Shit! You really donāt remember anything?
DAMON: (Trying to avoid the whole Britney strip thing) Nop!
LADY: Wellā¦ you were all here; plus the other three dudes.
ALARIC: Iām assuming that was before āthe weddingā?
LADY: Yes. This is where (looks at Kai) we fell in love. But we came back here after the reception. Well, only me, my hubby; you fine looking thang (referring to Iker), and you, the ultimate party pooper (referring to Alaric). Donāt know where the rest of you went. All I know, is that my princess here, pulled a runaway bride after he got a call, and you two (referring to Iker and Alaric), left along with him.
ALARIC: Do you know around what time that was?
LADY: Iād say three-ish? Anyway, I have to go (kisses Kai on the cheek) It was lovely being your wife for the night. Good luck boys! (Leaves).
IKER: Not bad, psycho boy, sheās hot!
KAI: (Proud smirk) Totally hot!
ALARIC: Kinda reminded me ofā¦
DAMON: (Before Ric says the name, he knows heās going to say, he changes the conversation) Kai, check your phoneā¦
KAI: (Rubbing it in his face) What... she remind oyu of someone, Damon?
DAMON: Please, you wish!Ā
Now, check your freaking phone!
KAI: Fine, fineā¦ (looks at his received calls; sure enough he has an inbound call, from an unknown number, at 3:13 am) Wellā¦ Yep; I received a call, clueless about the caller, but seems like we had a lot to talk about, call lasted 20 minutesā¦
DAMON: (Sarcastic) Gee, I wonder how we can find out who the mystery caller is?
KAI: We could try to hack into the local police system, they have a huge database. Except, weāll need a computer, preferably a stolen one so itās untraceableā¦
IKER: (Also sarcastic) Or, maybe just call the number?
KAI: Of course I was gonna do that first! I was just thinking ahead, in case we get no answer. Amateurs!Ā
(Calls the numberā¦) What a surpriseā¦ no answer! Oh, waitā¦ (someone answers: Rawson Neal Psychiatric Hospital, how can I help you? Hangs-up immediately).
DAMON: So, who was it?! Why did you hang up!!
KAI: Ooh, Iām getting a bad feelingā¦
ALARIC: Give me that (takes the phone from his hand, calls the numberā¦ Rawson Neal Psychiatric Hospital, how can I help you? Hangs-up immediately) Shitā¦
DAMON: So, who the hell was it?!
ALARIC: Not who, but whatā¦
DAMON: Ric, Iām too hung-over to be playing guessing games.
ALARIC: Does anyone remember anything about a psychiatric hospital?
DAMON: Now, thatās definitely a place Stefan could be atā¦
KAI: Specially if he was found hunting bunniesā¦
DAMON: Well, what are we waiting for? Letās go one flew over the cuckooās nestā¦
ALARIC: Iāll get us another uberā¦
IKER: Waitā¦Ā
Uber!Ā Of course! I canāt believe we didnāt think of that! Everyone, check your phones for any trips we took last night.
DAMON: Duh! Man, we are really out of it!Ā Ā (They check their phonesā¦) Well, I have one at 5:30, from the hotel to the Andiamo Italian Steakhouse, downtown. And another one at 7:40, from the steakhouse to the Bellagioā¦ Thatās it.
IKER: I have one, from the Bellagio to Mystic Divas at 1:06am.
KAI: As for me, one, at 3:33am, from Mystic Divas to the Rawson Neal Psychiatric Hospitalā¦
ALARIC: I donāt have any from last night.
DAMON: Okay, so far, our best bet at finding Stefan is at that psych hospital. Letās move.
Ā TVD 9x16 (part 2 of part 1) coming very soon! Hope you stop by, read, and enjoy! =)
P.S Had to split it into more parts otherwise it would be too long for one post per part.Ā
