Damon catches Stefan and Lexi drinking and listening to Bon Jovi and takes a swig himself. All of them arrive for their graduation and beforehand Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) confronts Bonnie about not wanting the veil to go back up. He wants to stay here as do the others, as he points out the witches and ghosts in the graduation audience. Bonnie tells her father (Rick Worthy) she's grateful for everything he's done. That's her farewell to him. She takes Kol and shows him her DB. She wants the same thing too but wants to put the veil up locking him in an invisible forcefield with a spell.
Vaughn (Charlie Bewley) shoots Damon with a bullet as he wants the cure to use on Silas. Connor (Todd Williams) calls Elena and reminds her he wants the cure and that she killed him. He threatens to blow up the bar as Alaric (Matt Davis) confronts him. This is his bar and he's not having anyone blow it up. Elena notices the wound on Damon's shoulder the bullet was laced with werewolf venom. So they come up with a plan where Damon takes Vaughn to the quarry where he tries to figure out where he buried Silas but Vaughn realizes he's messing him around and fires some more bullets especially after he realizes they were laced with venom. Alaric arrives to save the day and tackles Vaughn over the edge taking the the cure from him. Caroline tries in vain to call Klaus (Joseph Morgan) so he can help Damon.
Alexander (Paul Telfer) puts Matt (Zach Roerig) on a pressure plate with explosives and Rebekah (Claire Holt) tries to talk him through it. Saying what she'd like to do, go to that small town in Italy. She then kisses him and changes places with him whilst later exploding the explosives and taking Alexander with her. Not that she can die. Klaus finally arrives since he was on his way here anyway in response to Caroline's graduation invite and saves Damon. Question being why he'd be so obliging now. Seems Damon got cured easier now than he did in the season 2 finale. Another rehash here of Damon being affected by werewolf venom again. Klaus helped her cos she sent the invite and he's also letting Tyler come back to Mystic Falls cos "he's your first love but I will be your last." So they leave the school before more hybrids and witches come looking for them. Klaus also saving them from the hybrids.
Matt agrees to go with Rebekah to Italy as he's never been out of this town but she can't turn him into a vampire and also whatever happens on the road, stays on the road. Of course we know Rebekah will be going to New Orleans and won't be returning here next season. Katherine wanted her immortality from Bonnie but didn't get it so she goes looking for trouble with Elena. Personally I liked how Elena was going to be attacked by Kol again but the veil goes up and he vanishes. As does Alaric when Damon thinks he'll be around watching over him. Alaric saying he got the girl. Cos he does get the girl. Elena chooses Damon cos he made her feel more alive even when she was dead and she's in love with him. Lexi catches Stefan eavesdropping this time round as he leaves to bury Silas. Lexi and Stefan joke about where they should go and he tells her Elena was his first love, she was the one. Lexi tells him he'll love again but needs to move on. Kind of what Klaus told Caroline.
He tells Damon he's happy for him but he's leaving as he said before. Didn't he realize Lexi was going to disappear when Bonnie puts the veil up, so it wasn't a wise decision going alone. Katherine confronts Elena as she wanted to be immortal but didn't get to. Elena commenting he wasn't happy with being a vampire immortal. Katherine wanted her graduation day too as she never gets anything. To think Elijah was in love with this deranged vampire. She stabs Elena in the neck and reaches for her heart when Elena remembers the cure and forces Katherine to take it.
Elena finds Stefan and tells him he's really Silas. He invented the immortal spell and nature needed to redress the balance so he needed a shadow self to be killed. Katherine was his shadow self but he turns into Stefan and puts him into the safe, throwing him over into the quarry. The spell was broken when Bonnie died. Stefan doesn't know she's really dead. Bonnie tells Jeremy she's a ghost and he will always be able to see and speak to her. She did a spell and it worked, Jeremy is alive and she leaves with her Grams. He must tell the others she's gone to spend Summer with her mother as for the first time her friends are happy.
SO Elena makes her decision and chooses Damon, that wasn't a surprise. They've been tip toeing over this issue for so long now it was getting boring, but I would have thought Elena wouldn't have chosen Damon especially since he's not meant to get the girl. Think the writers/producers just wanted to satisfy those fans who wanted this from the onset. Elena's reasons for wanting Damon cos he makes her fell alive and all the rest of it. Well she's still a vampire how alive does she want to be. Also would have been better if she didn't choose either one of the brothers. First Stefan, then Damon - bit tedious, all a case of keeping it within the Salvatore family. So Stefan left town as he said he would only he ends up a few feet under in the quarry. Think they love their watery finales in this show, last season it was at the bridge. That was a bit of an anti-climax too expecting Silas to be defeated so easily. He may have been stone for the past 200 odd years but it doesn't mean he wouldn't play everyone as he did and get his own way in the end, but why choose Stefan out of everyone he could have, just cos he was disposing of the pieces.
Then Bonnie leaves to be with Grams. There are so many death and resurrections in this show, it's probably beaten Buffy in the 'rise again from the ashes' stakes! (No pun). So Katherine is now mortal, will she handle that or will she disappear into hiding. She can be easily killed now. Not to mention out of everyone who wanted the cure she didn't. Also Elena is angry at Damon for not taking the cure when he was dying, to the point of slapping him. Which they listen to as well. He would rather have died than become human, something Elena can't understand. He would die than become human and not be able to live without her whilst she carried on.
Also Stefan gives her the cure back cos he'd want her to choose whether she becomes human or is a vampire, going back to all the exposition they had in season 2.20 The Last Day when they were pondering if she wanted to become a vampire to save her when Damon tied to turn her into one. Seems she's now happy to be a vampire. Having her humanity back she no longer is tied to the sire bond and makes her choice. So Stefan in a safe, metal box whatever it was, just like Angel was chained and ended up at the bottom of the ocean in Angel.
Why was Caroline's mother not at the ceremony, infact they didn't show any of her relatives or anyone else's. Why didn't Jeremy go too instead of hanging around with Lexi. Bit silly. Scene stealer would have to be Klaus making his entrance by lopping off a witch's head with a mortar board. Hmm, never thought of using those as flying frisbees at my graduation! Probably would have ended up losing the hiring deposit! ha. Your final Damon shirtless scene to keep you going through the Summer! Thought Stefan looked cool in his grad robe and hat!
