2.21 The sun also rises (SPOILERS)

[Marisa]

Is all I have to say to this episode. It was just so sad I didn't think it would be this sad yet it isn't even the season finale. That Kevin sure knows how to rip your heart out.

I am still in shock so I will have to come back later but this episode has made me the most upset so far out of the whole series.

[Peyton Sawyer]

I blubbed through the last 10 mins easy.

I'm gutted about Jenna. At first, when they did the spell to save Elena, I thought Alaric was staying for the same reason. I love Jenna for trying to fight though.

I loved the scene between Stefan and Elijah. Kind of tainted by the end. Elijah is a douche lol

But there were two things that absolutely broke my heart. One, the absolute despair on Damon's face when he found out Stefan had gone ("always cleaning up my mess") and the way Stefan returned the same look when Damon showed him the bite. And two, John's death. Deaths and self sacrifice like that just really get to me. I hate it when people die without the people they love knowing the truth.

I really liked the moment the look between Damon and Elena. I don't think it was anything romantic. I think it was just understanding and gratitude.

I'm preparing for a shit load of cliff hangers next episode.

[Marisa]

Elijah is a major douche! I kind of hate him now.

OMG Peyton I had to take Advil the episode upset me so much I haven't had that happen recently on a series besides Grey's Anatomy other than Jen's death and The OC series finale lol.

I love Jenna and she was really starting to be something. It is so sad I am glad she tried to fight and when Elena said just turn it off Jenna so your not scared that is what broke my heart most. It is like you are sitting there watching someone you love die and you can't do anything about it.

John you know I used to hate John but I can respect him he always did what was best for his daughter. I am just so sad because Elena and Jeremy are all ALONE now. They have no family. I am thinking their parents will pop up somehow or something I mean they have to have a guardian. All I can say is John went out in a wonderful way and Jenna I am gutted about her I didn't think it would upset me as much as it has.

The moments between Stefan and Damon were AMAZING. You know in the books Damon always says no one can kill Stefan but him and I like how that came through not the killing part but us finally seeing how much Damon cares back for Stefan and Stefan I can't take it when he gets emotional I hate to see boys cry lol.

The moment was good between Damon and Elena as well. Want to know what else made me happy in this sad episode. Tyler and Caroline if I was going to ship someone like 100% no doubt it would probably be them. I love Matt but he is irritating the crap out of me! Look at how good Caroline is she just sat there and risked her life to help her friend and your worried about her world? I mean I get it but lately I would rather know than not know you get what I am saying?

I am excited yet scared. I don't think Damon will die but I don't know I am still worried.

Peyton there were four deaths tonight so maybe we are safe?

[Peyton Sawyer]

Yeah, the fact Elena had to watch was horrible. One other thing that happened during the ritual scenes that I forgot was when Damon carried Elena to Stefan and laid her down next to him. It was such a beautiful thing and not only did it make my heart ship beat a little quicker, I think it was a hugely defining moment for Damon to accept and act on what he knew Stefan needed. Beautiful.

From what John said at the start of his letter about being the parent of an extraordinary child, I not only think he was speaking of his pride in Elena but about the fact him and Isabel wanted to keep her away from she was fated to become? He's one of those characters who is cruel to be kind - very much like Damon in some ways - and I agree that he was always doing what he thought was best for his daughter and you can't fault him for that.

Jeremy and Elena are alone but at the same time they still have each other and I think that will be very important in the next season. I'm gutted for Alaric too, he's lost another woman that he loves. Dude, I'm going to start crying again lol.

Yeah, an upset Stefan breaks my heart too. I'm looking forward to seeing that not only will Stefan and Damon go to extraordinary lengths for Elena (or the one they love) but also for each other.

I have to agree about Caroline and Tyler. They have such a beautiful, honest relationship. They are so vulnerable around each other to the point that it is beautiful. I couldn't help but have this watery goofy smile during their scenes but they were awesome.

I don't think anyone else will die...the promo for next week looks interesting though

[Marisa]

I forgot about that too yes it was beautiful. I just kind of re-watched and that moment sticks out. I mean Damon and Stefan had some progress this episode. It was so sad how she had to watch. I am working on a video today going to finish it up I have to go see Thor first though lol. I usually don't like to vid with the CW watermarks but this episode was just so emotional.

Yes he was like Damon I disliked him from when he was mean to Damon but over time I grew to like him and in the end respected him. Which makes me look back at a character with a smile in a way. I am really shocked about how upset I was for his death that showed me I liked him a lot more than I thought. Maybe he did mean what she was fated to become.

LOL me to I can't take this episode I am overemotional about it which is so weird. I realized how much I loved Jenna. I am so sad for Alaric. I hope next season is about that with Jeremy and Elena I am just wondering how social services won't get involved? Maybe John can say Isabel is her mother and still alive somehow? I don't know.

I know! I love Stfean/Damon progress and I am beyond excited. My heart broke for Stefan because when Damon was walking away and he was just sitting there it was almost like Damon had given up. Stefan has not which is good.

I was smiling and laughing when she is like "no friendship is perfect" I just love them so much and you are so right they are beyond beautiful they brought a much needed light in this dark episode.

I forgot to ask you what did you think of Jules? For a moment I felt bad for her but then I kept thinking well remember Caroline? I was not really as sad for her death as the others.

It does have you seen the extended promo on youtube?

[Peyton Sawyer]

I thought I'd get a lot of satisfaction from seeing Jules/Lindsey bite it but it was actually kinda horrible. She kind of apologised for what she did, didn't she? Saying that she was only trying to protect Tyler. Her death was cruel but I wasn't invested in her so she was just kinda collateral, I guess lol.

I'm wondering what Klaus has in store in for Stefan. He said he other plans for him didn't he? But I don't get why.

Yeah I've seen the extended promo, very exciting. I kinda had a mean chuckle because there were promo images of Damon and Elena released (where he's got her against the scaffolding thing) and Delena fans were really excited about it. But after the promo it doesn't seem like its a particularly loving moment lol I think he wants to eat her!

With Tyler and Caroline, I don't know if I want them to be together or just keep that friendship they have because its so endearing.

[Marisa]

It was horrible it was kind of like hot uncle Mason when you think about it. I expected her to die so I wasn't to shocked. I felt bad for her when she apologized though and said she wanted to help Tyler but yeah she was just one of the numbers I just wasn't affected as much by her I guess lol I don't know.

Yes he did. I want to know as well! I kind of don't want Klaus anywhere near Stefan now. I am hoping he just happens to die somehow lol because yeah if he comes back I don't see it ending pretty.

LMAO haha I always laugh. I am like they are teasing you! Kevin is always doing that to the Delena fans. I am like it seems like you said he is going to eat her but I guess it could be mistaken for a kiss. Plus he seems to think she is Katherine.

I am torn because deep down I do like Matt a lot but his not having his own mind at times is irritating me. I think Tyler/Caroline could be great but then if they mess them up it will turn into something bad so for now I am glad with them as friends. I kind of would like to see Jeremy/Caroline. I wonder what they would be like. I was actually talking about this the other day but it would also be good to see some Damon/Caroline again them both being vamps and when Damon wants he isn't a complete jerk.

Want to know what really irritates me about Elijah is Damon said don't trust him and he came up with this master plan and threw it down the drain. I think he is a real "insert curse here" now. I mean I know it is family but lets be honest Klaus looks like he would say anything and his word well it doesn't mean much to me. I am just mad because I was thinking about it today and it is almost like John and Jenna died for nothing well not John because he gave Elena humanity but poor Jenna who didn't ask for any of this went down fighting which i am proud of but in the end what for? That is what makes me angry.

[True Love]

I cried when Klaus killed Jenna. I had to pause the scene because I couldn't hear anything from the sound of my own sobbing.

I think I cried more at the funeral, and when we heard John's letter. One of the most heartbreaking scenes.
