My prediction about Damon is that he will be a hybrid somehow cause they need someone as powerful as Klaus in their clique to help fight what's coming or almost as powerful cause you know hybrid or not Klaus is the first and strongest of them all
Making him human doesn't make sense to me because it will be as useful as letting him die because Damon is as bad ass vampire as they come. I can actually imagine him drinking Caroline and kill himself in order to become a vampire again. I don't see staying human and giving up being a vampire
Jeremy and Bonnie SUCKS!
Tyler and Caroline HOORAY!
seeing damon walking in the cemetery just made me cry in grief to the writers please i am begging please save damon! i like the idea him being human all over again hahahah! poor stefan!

I cried when Klaus killed Jenna, I thought she would have made an awesome vampire.
Now as for Damon, wouldn't it be interesting if the writers made him as powerful as Klaus? Damon could be in transformation, and there fore go after Klaus in the end? Just a thought that struck me last night :)
I cried & cried & cried, Just for Damon & Surprisely also for Jenna, My first tears not for Damon! The ending is soo tragic :s

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I found it interesting last week that Klaus ended up with 3 women and then he mentioned he liked the symmetry of the three women. Also, if Caroline and Tyler get together, since they are both supernatural, wouldn't she be able to conceive a hybrid baby??? Just asking... Wonder if Klaus thought about that and was planning to use them to breed (he took them both), I don't believe he ever intended to sacrifice them, I think he was going to breed them to raise up his army of hybrids....
MY moment of the episode? Elena telling Jenna to switch it off, seconds before she dies. Insanely heartbreaking. I was sobbing, big time.

I wrote damon is gonna turn to a human the second i saw the end of 'the last day'. Seems now that its everyones prediction here facebook everywhere else. Guess its really obvious. But the vampire diaries churns out unexpected stuff so i really hope now they do something different though i doubt it. I want the damon part in the middle. The finale's closing scene should be the one with elijah and klaus in it.
there was no reason to kill Jenna!!!! they need to save Damon, cause if He leaves the show, whats the sense of watching it? He is one of the main characters....i love the show but if they start killing off regulars no need to watch right?

This probably was one of the best episodes ever. Legit. I wouldn't put it any other way. To answer the final questions:
I really can't believe Klaus is a were-vamp. That's killing me. I can only think of the destruction that could happen with him being that supernatural. Wouldn't it be a twist of the doppleganger actually had to be dead for the curse to work and considering that she isnt, he came back twice as hard trying to prepare the sacrifice again? Crazy thought but I'd love to see how they would get out of this one because they have no parents to save Elena's soul and she doesnt want to be a vampire... hmmm... Definitely cannot wait to see exactly what happens during season 3.
I understand Elijah saving his "brother" and everything but he act as if he isnt an all powerful vampire who can find a witch to find his alive family or go find them himself. The fact alone that his half-brother is going to be a horrible supernatural being that can easily kill Elijah should be a wak

It would be interesting if they turned him human for a little while, he hates it but then realises it's the one way he can get Elenor (by offering her something Stefan doesn't have/can't, humanity). Then Katherine changes him (either against his will or because he asks). That way we can get a few eps of human Damon, then he can go back to beeing awesome powerful angsty vampire again yay = ).
I really love this show the eps just keep getting better and better. I hope they keep up the high standard for season 3, most shows fail to hit the mark once they get to a 3rd season, but I'm crossing my fingers for vampire diaries, how can they fail with Damon on their side after all? = P

Wow! A really awesomely written and acted episode. For some reason I didn't expect Jenna to die, I thought they would find a way to spare her. So sad for Jeremy and Elena not only do they have hardly any people in their life that are human, but now they literally have no family.
Nina Dobrev did an excellent job in this episode. Watching her watch Jenna die were so sad and then at the funeral was even more heartbreaking. It was devastating watching her say goodbye to her whole family. That has to change a person and I am excited to see the darker Elena we have been hearing about in season 3. Oh, and I loved the eye contact between Delena at the funeral - so powerful.
That definitely felt like an awesome season finale- I don't how they will top that but I am excited at the prospect. I can't wait to see how they save Damon. It was nice to see Stefan so affected by the possibility of losing his brother, especially since they have been at each others throats for the last few

What a great and sad episode! I cannot believe Jenna is dead. Stefan offering to sacrifice himself was so sweet and so him. How would Elena want to be with anyone else but him. The show has to be very careful though with inventing a new spell every time the going gets tough. So, they better not have a cheesy spell or way of getting rid of the werewolf bite for Damon, if they decide to cure it at all. And, no he cannot come back as a human, as he has been dead for 145 years and has no soul. That would be even cheesier and stupid.

As a lot of other people I really enjoyed the episode. It was filled with action just as much as emotions.
This "last minute" spell ,however, was really confusing and just too easy... I mean come on, Bonnie and Jeremy have been in that house for what seems like ages and they just came up with that idea a few hours before the ritual?
As someone said before, I still hope that this "Soul saving" does not affect the body, which means that part of Elena will be vampire-ish... But I'm not convinced it will be that easy.
And I think that Damon will not die; how he is going to be saved is another question though. Magic witch portion, the blood of an original, a "last minute" spell or maybe even, with the thought of an upcoming battle between Klaus & Elijah vs. the Salvatores, Damon might somehow become a hybrid too...
Just my ideas and I am already excited for next week!

ExCELLENT epiode! great review as usual - just one thing
"Despite pleas from DAMON and Bonnie to proceed with the plan, Elijah splits with Klaus. Just like that." Damon took elena away at the request of stefan, so don't you mean stefan here??
otherwise, agreed with everything you said. BEREMY have always been cute, i loved how bonnie knocked him out after she kissed him to keep him safe! as much as matt kind of stepped up and tried to help caroline, shooting tyler and then dumping caroline AGAIN pissed me off. FORWOOD or TAROLINE have had amazing scenes and their friendship is great to watch (so was the shirtless tyler comforting caroline scene). FORWOOD must be together in season 3. AS for kat being stuck in alaric's apartment - good point. who is now going to be jer's guardian, will alaric move in?? i'm heartbroken that john died, he totally got back into my good books, i really didn't expect him to die, although i knew jenna and jules were goners. luckily so was greta. we'll ju

Blah, the use of a spell to solve any crisis is such a cop out. It's like the iPhone... except of there being an app for that, there's always a spell for that! Damon has a werewolf bite? Just give Bonnie a few moments to find some centuries old spell and it will be all good.

Just an amazing episode, I can't believe it wasn't the season finale, can't wait to see how next week would top it. Also very happy with the set up for Klaus & Elijah to come back next season. Totally agree that in the hand of a lesser show John's sacrifice would have come of really cheesy but it was soo redeeming I got a little choked up. Even forgave Jules who I really disliked.
Wondering what are the other plans Klaus had for Stefan? Not that Tyler is home come on Forwood!! Just a great episode..

I really love this show and last night's episode felt so contrived by the writers, filling in ridiculous story details in an effort to pull too many things together. I felt as if they alienated the audience in doing so, you had us before hook, line and sinker, now it just plain turned me off.
-The whole John/Elena soul thing was ridiculously cheesy.
-Elijah allowing Klaus to escape as a super power were/vamp was not believeable, even if he wanted to see his family there is no way he would have allowed Klaus to live. Additionally, a man of honor, broke his word. He has lived over 1,000 years without his family, he would easily have made that sacrifice for the good of humankind.
Now that the doppelganger is not needed, Im curious to see how they wrap Elena into the story going forward. What's the point of focusing on keeping her alive now...unless they need to do a doppelganger sacrifice to kill Klaus.
Elena : I just want to kill her. It's that simple.
