Season 6, Episode 22 (I'm Thinking of You All the While)

I was not prepared to watch this episode at all. I knew that things were going to happen that I wouldn't like and boy was I right.

This episode was so emotional. There were a lot of tears shed. Since I don't want to spoil anything, I can't say much. What I will say is it was a bittersweet episode. More bitter than sweet, but bittersweet nonetheless. It was bad news after bad news after bad news. It was a lot to handle, hence the crying. I felt so bad for so many of the characters. Their lives got so messed up due to one character causing all the damage. Thankfully, some good news did come out of it. One certain character is now dead. Thank goodness.

There was so much aftermath with what happened in the previous episode. We saw the full extent of the damage and plans that had been set in motion. Some of those plans we won't see until the next season.

A lot of this episode dealt with Elena leaving. The way they went about it is what made the episode more bitter, but sweet. These parts made me cry the most because we saw her saying goodbye to all her friends and family from past scenes. They left it open about Elena. That makes me happy since she is such a big part of the show.

For season 7, I'm worried for Damon and anyone that will be around him. The love of his life isn't physically with him and I don't know how he will handle that or if he even will handle it. But it can't be good anyway you look at it. Without Elena, I don't know how the show is going to be, but I'm still excited to see where the story is going to go and how the show will be without her.

What are your thoughts on the finale? Are you excited for the next season?
