Once Markos and his traveler army begin to take over Mystic Falls, setting an anti magic barrier around the town, the gang comes up with a plan to take out the travelers by killing them all at the same time, overpowering the anchor to the Other Side AKA Bonnie and creating a possible way out of the now collapsing Other Side.

The Vampire Diaries recap Season 8, Episode 1. Ive said this a few times over the last several weeks, but there was a lot about this episode that felt like old school TVD, which is what I want out of the shows ending. Whether were talking about the last minute surprise, the brotherly love, the flashbacks, or just the general theme of redemption, its all familiar even, unfortunately, the grief. What Are You I love that they chose this as the title for this particular episode the first in which Stefan is human because it dates back to the moment Elena Gilbert rushed to the Salvatore mansion and demanded to know WHAT Stefan was. His response So much of this hour brought me back to Blood Brothers, in which we first saw what Stefan was like post Ripper binge. As he contemplated killing himself, he told Elena, It hurts me, knowing what Ive done, and that pain, that pain is with me all the time.

But before Damon can meet Caroline at the police station, he has to deal with the devil sitting in his living room. Cade pays Damon a visit to let him know their deal is officially void. Considering the deal was for two immortal beings, the fact that Stefans a human means Damons free to go. That is if by free, you mean he has to deliver Ethan Maxwells journal to Cade by midnight unless he wants Cade to kill his brother and drag him to hell. I guess we shouldnt have expected a literal deal with the devil to end so easily, huh At the police station, Stefan is presented with photos of each of his victims its the new name of the wall as his prints have matched with 3. But before things go any further, Caroline arrives and compels Stefans crimes away from everyone except Stefan.
