There are 4 main point to this episode. 1) The relationship between Damon and Jeremy. They had their ups and down that make them have a kind of relationship that is a constant banter, but behind this pretence of hostility there is a deeper connection. They had very intimate moments and Jeremy followed Damon like a little brother looking for his big brother approval, he likes that Damon is a badass and he would like very much be like him. Now that has the hunter drive he can, but he can bring himself to kill Damon, not because of Elena, but because those two have a connection, have feelings for each other, even if they play it as they hadn’t. Jeremy is not a born killer so even if his hunter instinct has been triggered he still understands the difference between killings because it is necessary and killing family, and Damon is family at this point. Their relationship is very much underrated. Surely Damon resisted the compulsion partially because of Elena, but not just because of her, he was telling Jeremy all the time what to do and he would have rather die than killing him, he was telling him to point at his heart and wasn’t kidding! So the comparison with Stefan that is sometimes made, is not a good one first because Stefan was fighting for the girl he loved and Damon for Jeremy and even though his motivation to resist compulsion was less stronger, still, he would have rather die than give in. Proving that compulsion as sire bond effect actions not feelings, and that you cannot avoid to o things but you are still conscious that what you are doing is not your will and that consciousness can give you options. 2) Elena wanting to kill KOL conscious that that would kill lost of vampires that are just like them some good, some bad. The point here is that she is put in a corner by Kol actions. Damon is in danger of killing her brother, her brother is a reluctant hunter, and he is in danger constantly by having to kill vampires to make the marks growing because Klaus is not going to give up and he is going around turning innocent people into vampires, anyway. So what is the solution? The only possible solution, to stop all of this, not because of the cure but to protect her brother and Damon. Kill the source of all problems, Kol, and with that stop once and for all of this. It is a matter of choosing the lesser evil. Elena’s choice has nothing to do with her being a vampire, Elena as human would have done the same given the circumstances. 3) Bonnie and Professor Shane. He is one manipulative son of the gun, he made Bonnie overload with dangerous magic and at the same time made himself indispensible to get Bonnie’s powers under control. He knows what button to push with her to have power over her and he sounds crazy, by keeping saying that Silas will bring dead people back to live. The point is that, Kol said that the cult he encountered told him that Silas would bring the world to an end, Rebekah said that he is a bed time story and professor Shane said that he would bring back the dead. So where is the truth here? And here is when we feel the absence of Alaric, without him researching things and making plans, our group of friend lack vital information, direction, solutions and cohesion. Alaric was a very important piece of the group. 4) Stefan and everybody else. Oh boy, he is such a sore loser. Even though we all understand he is hurting and what he did by locking Damon up is right, as it is keeping Elena separated from him, for the time being, still he does it with scorn and contempt, trying to hurt Elena as much as he can. Yep, he is being a bit of an ass, an entertaining ass. It’s the second time he is saying to Elena’s face that she means nothing to him now, which is obviously not true because otherwise he would be so sour about it and to put the cherry on the top of the bitterness cake, he chooses revenge sex with Rebekah as per “you slept with Damon I sleep with Rebekah”, as Damon did when Elena told him that his love was an inconvenience. Rebekah once again used as revenge sex.

Damon is such an impulse driven character- it makes so much sense that he would not be able to resist the compulsion. So props to the writers. I'm also really happy that dark!Stefan is back. He is just so much more fun than regular Stefan. He just totally reveles in his brother's misery and I love it. :D Also, maybe I'm the only one (at least here on ur patreon page) But I really enjoy Stefan and Rebekah's relationship. They are a much better couple than Stefan and Elena. The next episodes are going to be wild. So much crazy shit is about to go down. I am so pumped for you to see what's coming next :)
