The Vampire Diaries 6.14 "Stay" Review


                                                Image result for the-vampire-diaries stay photos
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) compel Principal Weber (Dan Bright) to let Jeremy (Steven R McQueen) graduate so he can leave Mystic Falls and study Art.  Didn't they do that before and look what happened, don't know why they think Jeremy would leave and why he would study.  So Alaric (Matt Davis) and Matt (Zach Roerig) throw him a farewell party, where Alaric lets him have a drink and Enzo bugs Matt to carry on helping him with the Sarah (Tristin Mays) plan. She walks in the door as the manager wants new photos of the place and she'll be paid.  Elena and Damon tell him he's graduated and it took some help, as Damon places a graduation cap on Jeremy's head and leaves a little something inside it for him.  So that he can have it later, as long as Elena doesn't know.  Otherwise he'll kill him again.

The sheriff (Marguerite MacIntyre) goes over her cold cases, as we flash back to the hospital when Elena's parents were brought in along with her after the accident.  She thinks it could be something more and she calls Damon about it.  Her mother left her a voice message telling her she had something she wanted to say to her.  She also found the car had luggage and Damon notices there weren't any skid marks on the road and they took a different route.  Meaning something must've happened.  She seems a lousy sheriff cos Damon's the perp in most all her investigations, but they became friends as well.

Elena knows about the joint and agrees to let Jeremy smoke it as she shares it with him.  He wants her car cos she can just compel another one and they talk about how many cars he had and destroyed. Damon calls her and she leaves, leaving him alone and at the mercy of Enzo (Michael Malarkey) who shows up to use him as leverage and enabling Matt to take Sarah to a meeting place.  Matt having looked at her pics on the camera finds one of her, probably in the buff.  At the bridge, she tells him she doesn't have a boyfriend and Enzo calls again telling him he's there, he just needs to move over a little bit.  As he promptly proceeds to run him over!  Both of them being in shock and Sarah waits for the ambulance, Enzo shows up and says he can help, but she mustn't be afraid of what she's going to see, he vamps and feeds him his blood, before speeding off.  So that's the big plan then.  Not very impressed.

Caroline (Candace Accola) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) get her old house ready for her mother with her favourite things surrounding her and then she worries that maybe she won't be able to finish reading Jane Eyre, cos it's so long.  She was right about that.  Stefan tells her to let him worry about that and she knows her mother asked him to look after her.  Caroline finds her pink bike on which she learned to ride.  As she sees Stefan flexing his muscles up on a ladder.  He was sad that she told him how she hated him and Caroline says she didn't really hate him, as they kiss.

Elena doesn't recall what happened that day and she was texting in the car.  How the sheriff looked after them and even tried to cook for them, which surprises Damon.  Jeremy tells Elena about Enzo and she wants to take care of him, but he doesn't want his sister to handle a bully for him.  She asks him about the message and if he recalls that day and he knows their mother called the sheriff to threaten him about smoking pot.  That's what the phone message was for and Jenna was laughing behind the door.  That was their last conversation, an argument behind the door.  Damon tells the sheriff about the call and they were heading to a cabin, that's why the luggage.  It was the night of the storm and the powerline was down, so they had to take the alternative route.  The road was probably still slippery.  The sheriff is surprised that's all it was and she takes off her badge.  Damon takes her home as she feels faint.

He tucks her into bed and he has to tell Caroline she won't be able to surprise her today.  Asking for a drink, she passes out and Damon takes her to the hospital.  Caroline is angry she should've been with her and she didn't get to say goodbye.  Stefan says she still can and makes her relive her memories, when she learned to ride the bike and she let go of her.  Which is what she's doing here.  She flatlines. Strange this ep should feature the death of Elena's parents and the sheriff's own death too, in contrast to the way they died.  However she tells Damon it was just an accident and maybe if it had been supernatural, it would've been easier to deal with.  Just as hers is 'normal' too.  But unfair since she's done so much for her family and everyone else.

Elena tells Jeremy she'll send him her SUV and Alaric drives him to he airport, only he doesn't. Instead he drives him to the bus stop and gives him a map where he believes some unexplained attacks are taking place.  Jeremy's going hunting and he's got to produce some artwork.  He'll keep in touch and if Elena finds out then she'll kill Alaric.  See that's what I said, they tried that before and obviously Jeremy isn't and can't leave this life, it's what he does now, though he really wasn't much good with Enzo.  He also tells Alaric to call if Bonnie gets back and once again he's the only one who even thinks of her.  I mean even Caroline doesn't need one of her best friends now that she has Stefan.  Damon also reminding the sheriff about his mother and how he visited her with flowers. Guess she's going to turn up now.  As well as Enzo also threatening Matt's mother so he'll help him with his plan.  How crazy is that, instead of turning to his friends, he goes along with manipulating Sarah into this whole vampire business he hates.
