STEFAN: Bonnie!
-What happened? -The magic was too much for her.
Here.
Bonnie...
-No, no, no, no, no. No! -Oh, my God!
Don't do this.
Bonnie.
Come on, Bonnie.
Bonnie?
Elena.
Elena!
-Hi. -Hi.
(BOTH LAUGH)
I never thought I'd see you again.
No. No, wait.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
No. You can't die.
Not yet.
You have to live and grow old, and have children and grandchildren--
I'm okay. I can be with Enzo now.
-No. This is wrong. -Elena...
I'm ready.
Well, I'm not.
Enzo.
Sorry, love, but it's not your time.
(GASPS)
Hey.
(SIGHS)
I saw her.
I saw Elena.
(TOLLING)
(GROANS)
Sorry. Can't let you do that.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do to stop me.
(BOTH GRUNT)
(SCREAMS)
(BODY THUDS)
Where is she?
She went splat.
You threw her out the window?
You are aware that she's already dead.
-Damon-- -Don't "Damon" me.
In fact, don't say anything at all.
Katherine Pierce just declared war and I need a clear head.
Was that really necessary?
Vicki.
You're a dick.
You can't stop me.
This is my ticket out of Hell and I'm taking it.
Katherine is going to save--
Damon!
Relax. Just testing a theory.
Wait for it.
-(BONES CRACK) -(GROANS)
Yep, she's deader than a door nail.
And I'll just keep coming back. Again and again.
You need to convince her to stop ringing this bell.
You understand me?
Fate of Mystic Falls lies with you and your family, so get on it.
-And where are you going? -I'm anticipating your failure
so it's kind of dumb to stick around.
I have things to do.
I can't believe you're here.
I can't do the emotional reunion, Matt.
I love you, and I'm sorry.
But Katherine told me to ring this bell every five minutes
until Mystic Falls burns.
You should save yourself. That's what I'm doing.
Vicki, this is our home.
This is your home.
This town means nothing to me.
You're gonna believe Katherine Pierce? She's a liar.
I can't go back there.
You don't know what it's like.
At least this way, when I die, I'll just be dead. Gone.
And I'm okay with that.
(BELL TOLLS)
STEFAN: There has to be something.
Only chance we've got is if Donovan can somehow
convince his train wreck of a sister Hell ain't so bad.
There he is. Matt?
Yes, Sheriff Donovan.
Activate the evacuation protocol.
Gas leak.
Yeah, again.
There's got to be something we're missing.
Nope. Katherine won.
She played the long game and finally beat us.
What?
Earlier, Bonnie's heart stopped.
She said she saw Elena.
ELENA: Damon?
Elena.
What's going on?
-Is Bonnie-- -Bonnie's okay.
You're both okay.
I'm awake?
You're awake.
(ELENA LAUGHS)
No. No, no, no, no.
Rude.
You got to be kidding me.
Katherine.
Hello, brothers.
Am I drinking alone?
Where's Elena?
Dead.
A spiritual coma, if we're getting technical.
Her physical body. Where is it?
That's for me to know and for you to dot, dot, dot.
I hope you enjoyed the little show I put on for you.
It's been a hoot watching you take on the Devil.
(CHUCKLES)
Especially considering I've had him wrapped around my finger
since the minute I stepped into Hell.
Why did you think he wanted you?
Because I wanted you.
Duh!
(GLASS SHATTERS)
Damn it, Katherine. Where is she?
It really is the perfect revenge.
At 10:00 p.m., Mystic Falls will burn.
Precious Elena will burn,
and I'm guessing one of you two Salvatores are going down with her.
Should I place my bets now?
-(GRUNTS) -(GROANS)
Well, that shut her up.
(CLOCK TICKING)
We're running out of time. We have to find Elena. Let's go.
Where's my granddaughter? Where's Tiki?
-Dad. -Matt!
Look, I heard the bell, and then when they said we had to evacuate.
I need to get you in a van so they can transport you to Grove Hill.
Wait, but if you're not the one ringing the bell, then,
what's the problem?
It's Vicki, Dad.
What?
STEFAN: (OVER PHONE) She's not in the house.
Damon is checking the grounds and the cemetery.
Have you tried the high school?
It's my next stop.
Okay, I'll meet you there.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Okay. Bonnie's in the car with the girls.
I grabbed the baby books. Do we need anything else?
Everything else is replaceable. Let's go.
Listen, I need you to go ahead. I'm going to stay here and help Stefan.
Help Stefan do what?
Katherine has taken Elena's body. So, I'm going to help them find it.
No. No, Caroline.
You know Damon won't leave this town without her.
Well, that is not your problem.
It's Elena, Ric. And they need me.
Your girls need you.
They have you.
Okay? Just, come on. Get them to the Armory.
I'll meet you there. I promise.
No. I don't need to remind you what it's like to lose your mother.
Don't make me have to tell those girls you died
because you put somebody else before them.
You won't have to.
I'll get out of here safely. I promise.
Come on, let's get you out of here.
Come on.
No.
No, no.
Damn it.
(BELL TOLLS)
MALE OFFICER 1: All right, folks. Keep her moving.
Come on. Let's go.
The boiler room?
There is a horror movie reference in there somewhere, but it escapes me.
I'm fine, but she's trapped.
We're running out of time.
You have to get Katherine to break the spell.
I'm all over it.
Need something?
You're like a bad penny.
Funny thing about that bone dagger,
it sends me to Hell, but it can't keep me there.
I'm sorry.
And if you want to know how to get Elena free, you can't.
Kai Parker was kind enough to set that trap for me,
and if I'm not mistaken, he's forever indisposed.
After 153 odd years, this banter that we have is just old.
So, why don't we just skip to the part where you tell me what you want
and we'll negotiate.
I have everything I want, Damon.
Or I'm about to.
Once that last bell rings, this stupid town will go up in flames.
And everybody will go "poof."
Well, they'll burn alive first, but then their ashes will go "poof."
You know, petty doesn't look good on a woman your age, Katherine.
I'm not being petty, I'm gloating.
No, you're jealous of Elena.
Because you know that Stefan and I both would choose her over you every time.
And she would choose Stefan.
What makes you so sure of that?
Because I would.
Any woman would.
Stefan is the better man.
CAROLINE: (THROUGH SPEAKERS) Kai spelled her in and she can't get out.
We're too far away. Can't get back in time to help.
What are we supposed to do?
I can't leave Elena here.
It's not just Elena.
What do you mean?
You know Damon won't leave her here to die alone.
You need to head out now, Caroline.
Take the tunnels. They'll be faster for you.
I can't believe this is happening.
I need to talk to Damon.
Do you think you'll convince him?
No.
But I have to try.
I made a promise to Ric
that I wouldn't risk the girls growing up without a mother.
-So I can help you with Damon, but-- -No.
I can do it alone.
You get to safety.
Family first.
We're family now, okay?
You and me and the girls.
Just please, please, don't make me leave you. Please.
If I'm going to convince Damon, I have to move fast
and I can't do that unless I know you're safe.
No.
He's my brother.
Family first.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
All right, girls, why don't you go change your dresses, okay?
BONNIE: You okay?
It's not that I don't care, you know.
I care about Elena.
It's okay, Ric. I understand.
And I care about Damon.
-He knows you do. -I don't want to fail them.
But I can't fail my daughters.
And they need their mother.
Ric, if there was something we could do, we would do it.
What is this?
That is Project Hail-Mary.
Dorian and I were trying to find a way to destroy Cade's Hell.
We figured we needed a few million volts of mystical energy, just give or take.
It kind of took the wind out of our sails.
Like the kind of energy contained in hellfire?
(PHONE RINGING)
Bonnie, is everything okay?
Listen. Stefan, I know I've been hard on you.
But I also know that you and I are equally willing to do anything we can to fix this.
Absolutely.
Why? Do you have something?
I think I do.
But the only way it gets rid of Katherine Pierce is
if she's in Hell when I destroy it.
That's where it gets tricky.
Tell me what I need to do.
MATT: All right, guys. Keep it moving. Everybody out!
(BELL TOLLS)
I need to thank you for what you did earlier tonight in the fire.
We saved you.
Yeah, you did.
Not just that. You made me realize that I had all the magic I ever needed
right inside me.
Now, give me a little luck.
Right here.
I made it, as promised.
Any word from Stefan?
Listen, we have to leave quickly.
I'll explain everything to you in the car, okay?
Come on, girls, let's go. Run to the car, run to the car.
I'm gonna save the world.
And you need to get in that car and drive away.
But I don't...
-Bonnie-- -RIC: Caroline, I'm so sorry,
but we really have to go.
Ric will fill you in.
I love you.
Just don't do anything stupid, Bonnie Bennett.
I'll be fine.
Promise.
Taking a trip down memory lane?
"I've missed this place," said no one, ever.
I figured you'd keep showing up to annoy me.
You're nothing if not utterly predictable.
And miss a minute of the Elena Gilbert show?
Speaking of which, shouldn't you be by her side?
Well, I figured now that you're practically the Devil,
you'd be in the know.
I just hung up with Bonnie Bennett, and she figured out a way to save the day.
Bonnie isn't strong enough to save a kitten.
She's done it once or twice. My money's on her.
We're talking about hellfire.
So intense it could obliterate anything within miles.
What the hell is Bonnie gonna do?
She's 30 minutes away.
If you take the highway around the mountain, sure.
But as the crow flies, it's only seven miles.
Which is the beauty of these tunnels.
(CHUCKLES) Did you know that they go from the Armory
straight into the heart of downtown Mystic Falls?
Man, I bet you didn't know that, did you?
You think Bonnie Bennett can magically draw hellfire through the tunnels
away from the town?
Even better, I think she can send it straight back to Hell,
where you and I will be waiting patiently for it.
I gotta say, I look forward to dying by your side, KP.
You're bluffing.
STEFAN: No, he's not.
And neither am I.
I got this handled, bro. You need to get out of these tunnels.
I'm not the one who's gonna get out of here, Damon. You are.
Bad time to be a martyr, Stefan.
Said the martyr.
I'm gonna let you two figure this out amongst yourselves.
Fine. Then we'll both go.
Somebody needs to stay here to make sure she's actually in Hell
when it's destroyed.
I'm aware, Stefan.
Tell Elena that I did this for her,
to pay for my past mistakes.
You can tell her yourself.
I need to do this, Damon. I owe it to Bonnie and Enzo.
I owe it to a lot of people.
I'm not gonna leave you to die here, Stefan.
Yes. You are.
Are you seriously gonna sit here and argue with me
about who needs this redemption more?
You're not responsible for Enzo, Stefan.
You keep saying that, but you're wrong.
We're all responsible for our own actions.
Every drop of blood that I've spilled, I'm accountable for.
Then I'm accountable, too. And I've spilled even more.
Damon, I'm human.
In 60 years, I'm gonna be old, I'm gonna be dead.
You have quite literally, an eternity with Elena ahead of you.
Which means a lot less without you.
Do you think I want this?
I just got married.
My wife is out there waiting for me to come home to her.
But in the nearly two centuries since I made you become a vampire,
I have fought to turn you into the man
who deserves the happiness that's out there right now.
No.
So let me do this for you.
No.
Then let me do this for me.
Please.
I love you, little brother.
I love you, too.
Then you're right.
You are human,
which is why I can do this.
Go.
-No, Damon, don't-- -You're gonna walk out of these tunnels,
and you're not gonna stop until my death breaks the compulsion.
Because I am the big brother.
I'm sorry I wasn't better at it until now.
I said go.
Go.
(BELL TOLLS)
Vicki.
Daddy?
Hi, honey.
Is this Matt's trump card?
Well, it won't work.
You're about 15 years too late to be paternal.
I'm not here to talk you out of it.
Well, that's rich.
What, did you come to watch me blow myself into oblivion?
Vicki, Bonnie has a plan.
I am not gonna stop ringing this bell.
We don't need you to stop.
Then what are you doing here?
I just wanted to see my daughter one last time.
Tell me what's going on.
I don't know what to say, Caroline.
Stefan, he's... He made a decision.
Okay, Grams.
If I ever needed you to hear me, hear me now.
(RECITING SPELL)
(SIRENS BLARING)
(CONTINUES RECITING SPELL)
(VOICE BREAKING) Stop the car.
I said stop.
(TIRES SCREECH)
(LINE RINGING)
STEFAN: (OVER RECORDING) Hi, this is Stefan. Leave me your number.
Stefan. Please, call me. Please.
I need you to know that I understand.
I love you.
I will love you forever.
I understand.
(RECITING SPELL)
Poof.
(SCREAMING)
No.
I can do this.
I can do this!
I can beat you.
You can't have me!
It's not my time!
ENZO: Now you're finally ready to live?
Hi.
Keep fighting, love.
It's too strong.
I can't do it alone.
Nonsense.
You are strong enough to do anything you put your mind to.
And, love, you're not alone.
Grams.
(BOTH CHANTING)
(ALL CHANTING)
I did it.
(BELL RINGS)
ELENA: Four, five, six, seven, eight.
I can't believe it. We're all here together.
BONNIE: It's the last time before you guys go off to college.
ELENA: Before we go off to college.
STEFAN: Pardon me, is this the men's room?
ELENA: Yes. I'm sorry.
Hi.
What happened?
Why am I here right now?
I don't know about Bonnie, but Damon...
Damon wanted to sacrifice everything.
To save you.
To save this town.
He was ready.
I'm human now.
He compelled me to leave.
Go.
But he should've known better.
I would never walk a day on this earth as a human without taking vervain.
(STEFAN GASPS)
I don't understand.
Not long now, demon spawn.
I can hear that fire coming back this way.
You love this, don't you?
You have no idea.
I gave him my blood.
The cure.
You what?
STEFAN: Without the cure, I'd start to age.
I'd be dead soon enough.
So Damon's okay?
He's okay.
But...
You... You're...
I did what I had to do.
No! No.
Stefan, please...
Burn in Hell.
Goodbye, brother.
No. Stefan...
Tonight I saw a side of Damon that I hadn't seen in a while.
The older brother I looked up to.
The son who enlisted in the Civil War to please his father.
The Damon I knew when I was a boy.
I wanted that Damon to live,
and I wanted you to have an opportunity to get to know him.
He's the better man.
He's the right man.
It's good to see you, Elena.
One last time.
There's something I have to say.
Wow. That was beautiful.
I was feeling epic.
ELENA: Dear Diary, today will be different.
Today I will smile.
It will be genuine
because today is the day that I get to live again.
There she is.
Am I...
I did it.
I broke the spell.
How?
It took some time,
but I think I finally figured this witch thing out.
Where is he?
He's with Caroline.
Saying goodbye.
ELENA: This life will be good and beautiful,
but not without heartbreak.
In death comes peace.
But pain is the cost of living.
Like love, it's how we know we're alive.
Do you think it exists?
Peace?
Mmm-hmm.
I do.
We'll see him again.
DAMON: You'll see him again.
Me, I'm going the other way.
They'll probably reopen Hell for me.
Don't be so sure.
(CHUCKLES)
I need you to know that Stefan said something to me before we parted.
One day, when you wake up, tell Caroline I heard her
and I will love her forever, too.
He got my message.
ELENA: And life goes on.
Mystic Falls honors Matt Donovan.
-MATT: Dear Diary, we survived that night. -Thank you.
Mystic Falls is safe.
I remained the Sheriff.
They even gave me a bench.
I'm thinking of running for Mayor.
And Vicki... Well, I think she found peace.
Somehow, it feels like she did.
BONNIE: I'm determined to keep my promise to Enzo.
I'm gonna live this life to the fullest.
I want to see the world, enjoy my life.
Do I have everything?
ENZO: Passport.
Passport. Night stand.
RIC: As for my family, Caroline and I got what Damon decided was Stefan's last wish.
-Daddy! -Daddy!
CAROLINE: Opening the school was hard work.
We needed lots of help.
Fortunately, we knew plenty of people with experience.
Here you go.
Let's go.
RIC: Caroline was determined to make it a success.
She wanted to make her mom proud.
Plus, soon after the school opened,
she got a most impressive donor.
But that is the beginning of another story.
ELENA: After med school, I came home to Mystic Falls.
It felt right. It's where I wanted to grow old and I did.
And that's my life.
Weird, messy, complicated, sad, wonderful, amazing, and above all, epic.
And I owe it all to Stefan.
When I met him, I had lost my parents and I was dead inside.
But he brought me back to life.
And I'm going to live it as best I can, for as long as I can.
(CAWING)
Even after our long and happy life together,
Damon is still worried he'll never see Stefan again.
That he'll never find peace.
But I know he's wrong.
Because peace exists.
It lives in everything we hold dear.
Mom?
That is the promise of peace.
That one day, after a long life, we find each other again.
Damon.
Hello, brother.
