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.

[Speaking to Josie and Lizzie] I need to thank you for what you did earlier in the fire.
JJosie
We saved you.
Yeah. You did. And not just that. You made me realize that I had all the magic I ever needed right inside me.
I got to say, I look forward to dying by your side, KP.
You're bluffing.
No, he's not...and neither am I.
Are you seriously going to 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 am 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.
I love you, little brother.
I love you, too.
[Damon grips Stefan by the shoulders]
And you're right. You are human...which is why I can do this. [Damon begins compelling Stefan] Go.
[Struggles] No, Damon, don't...
[Continues compelling Stefan] You're gonna walk out of these tunnels, and you are 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!
Stop the car. I said stop! [Caroline exits car and calls Stefan. It goes to his voicemail] Stefan, please call me. Please. I need you to know that I understand. I love you. I will love you...forever. I understand.
[Katherine revives with a gasp. Damon is watching her. He gestures with the bone dagger as hellfire shoots past them in the tunnel]
Poof.
(Softly) I did it. [Collapses to floor]
Hi
Hi. [Pause] 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. But he should have known better. I would never walk a day on this Earth as a human without taking vervain.[Flashback shows Stefan removing blood from his arm with a syringe]
I don't understand.
[Flashback of Damon and Katherine standing in the tunnel, Damon holding the bone dagger to her chest]
Not long now, demon spawn. I can hear that fire coming back this way.
[Struggling against Damon] You love this, don't you?
You have no idea.
[Stefan stabs Damon in neck with syringe. Damon grunts in surprise and stares at Stefan]
I gave him my blood. The cure.
You what?
[Flashback showing Stefan shoving Damon safely into the room off the tunnel] Without the cure, I'd start to age. I'd be dead soon enough.
So Damon's okay?
He's okay.
[Gives a sob of relief, then realizes...] But...you, you're...
I did what I had to do.
[Flashback shows Stefan grabbing Katherine and the bone dagger. The roar of the hellfire can be heard returning]
No! No...Stefan, please...
Burn in hell. [Stabs Katherine with bone dagger. He looks over at Damon] Good-bye, 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.
Well, that was beautiful.
I was feeling epic.
There she is.
Am I...
I did it. (Laughs) I broke the spell.
How?
It took some time, but I think I've finally figured this witch thing out.
[Voiceover] 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.
[Voiceover] 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 as best as I can. For as long as I can.
[Voiceover] Even after our long and happy life together, Damon is still worried that he will 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.
[Glances over and sees Damon has disappeared. Looks back to see her old house with people gathered on the front porch. Jenna motions for her to come join them.] Mom? [Runs over and hugs family]
[Voiceover] That is the promise of peace. That one day, after a long life. We find each other again.
[V.O.] I was once happy, content, sloshing around in my own private, primordial pool. Then one day, for reasons beyond my control, I was repeatedly crushed over and over by the cruel cervix of my mother, Leslie. I put up a good fight, but I lost, for the first time, but not the last. I was born three days after 9/11. My mother and father spent two days in the hospital, holding me under the soft glow of the television, watching those towers fall over and over again, until the feelings of grief gave way to numbness. And then, without warning, a middle-class childhood in an American suburb.

PPsychotherapist
[to Rue's parents] I'd say she's suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder...
[V.O.] It's not like I was physically abused or had a shortage of clean water or was molested by a family member.
PPsychotherapist
...general anxiety disorder and possibly bipolar disorder. But she's a little young to tell.
...
So, explain this shit to me.
Honey, it's just the way your brain was hardwired. Plenty of great, intelligent, funny, interesting, and creative people have struggled with the same things you struggle with.
Like who?
Uh... [sighs] Vincent Van Gogh. Sylvia Plath. And your favorite: Britney Spears.
...
[V.O.] Until every second of every day, you find yourself trying to outrun your anxiety. And at some point, you make a choice about who you are and what you want.
...
[V.O.] I just showed up one day, without a map or a compass. Or to be honest, anyone capable of giving an iota of good fucking advice. And I know it all may seem sad, but guess what? I didn't build this system, nor did I fuck it up. And then, it happens. That moment when your breath starts to slow. And every time you breathe, you breathe out all the oxygen you have. And everything stops: Your heart, your lungs, then finally, your brain. And everything you feel, and wish, and wanna forget, it all just sinks. And then suddenly you give it air again, give it life again. I remember the first time it happened to me, I got so scared I wanted to call 911. Go to the hospital and be kept alive by machines and apple juice... but I didn't wanna look like an idiot, and I didn't wanna fuck up everyone's night. And then over time, it's all I wanted. Those two seconds of nothingness. I spent a good portion of the summer before junior year in rehab.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
