While I previously wrote about how -- if Stefan had to die -- I would be open to the possibility of Caroline and Klaus exploring a romantic relationship together, I meant far, far in the future.
Long after Stefan had been dead and buried. Long after Caroline had finished her grieving. But the speed with which the finale went from Stefan dying to Caroline smiling at Klaus' letter was dizzying.
There was no chance for us to truly mourn both the death of Stefan and Steroline before the show was already teasing that Klaroline might be the real endgame. It was just too much. What was so troubling about Caroline's ending wasn't that she wound up alone, necessarily. It's that it felt as though her ending was an afterthought. Caroline became such a beacon of strength and compassion in this series, and when Nina Dobrev left after Season 6, she was the one who stepped up and became the glue that held the series together.
That's why it's a shame that the way her journey came to an end felt like it was less about bringing Caroline's arc to a conclusion as it was about making sure Stefan found redemption and trying to keep both the Steroline and Klaroline fans happy. Don't get me wrong, fan service isn't always a bad thing.
And I thought Stefan finally finding peace was a beautiful way to end the series. We flash back to the moment before the hellfire came back through the tunnels, when Stefan returned and injected Damon with his blood, thereby giving his brother the cure, undoing the very thing that caused Damon to promise him an eternity of misery all those years before.
Just as Stefan forced his brother into vampirism, now he forces him back into the life he wants: a human one with Elena. Without the cure, Stefan would age and die, so there was no longer any reason to save his life.
So, with Damon out of the way, Stefan held Katherine in place and just before he daggered her, told her one last time to, quite literally, burn in hell. Jumping back to Stefan and Elena in the hallway, Elena slowly registers what Stefan is saying. Damon is fine, but Stefa … he did what he had to do, he tells her.
I wanted that Damon to live, and I wanted you to have an opportunity to get to know him. In terms of redemption, this one moment has delivered it for both brothers: Damon because he was willing to sacrifice himself, and Stefan because he did. One last time.
Then, mirroring the moment when she left with Klaus in season 2 and the moment they said goodbye in the season 6 finale, they let their hands slowly separate. Instead, it was about which brother would make the ultimate choice, and once again, it was Stefan. So maybe, in a way, it was always going to be Stefan, whether it was about getting a girl or making a sacrifice.
I also just have to tip my hat to both actors in this scene. It was the start of their love story — that was the night that they would talk and it would be epic. And now, it marks the also epic end of their love story. Walking down the hallway away from Elena — which took me back to the moment he did the same in season 4 after hearing her say she loved Damon for the first time — Stefan opens the doors and enters… peace. And waiting for him is none other than Lexi, leaning against his Porsche.
Today I will smile and it will be genuine because today is the day that I get to live again. Just then, Elena wakes up to find Bonnie watching over her. NEXT: A farewell to a hero with great hero hair. In death comes peace, but pain is the cost of living. Stefan then told her the same after Alaric died. Just kidding.
I never stopped. As a final goodbye, everyone pays their respects to Stefan. Caroline leaves the snow globe he gave her once upon a time on his grave, which Damon follows with his daylight ring. Also on the grave? If you look closely, Elena left her necklace. The first real thing he did to protect her all those years ago.
Tyler wakes up to find Caroline with him. She tells him she brought him home. He asks what's wrong, and she tells him he's turned into the old him, the way he was before he was a werewolf. He apologizes, saying she brings out the best in him and he wouldn't be complete without her. Caroline and Bonnie assist with the decorations at the latest Mystic Falls community gathering.
Bonnie tells Caroline about Jeremy seeing the ghosts of Vicki and Anna. Damon arrives, greeting them as "Blondie" and "Witchy.
Later, we see Matt promises Bonnie that he hasn't seen Vicki since they sent her back. Matt agrees and asks to be let out of it.
After Matt walks away, Bonnie drops her Grimoire and it randomly opens up to a specific page, which turns out to be a manifestation spell used to reveal ghosts.
Later, Bonnie and Caroline are down in the basement of the old house where Bonnie brought Jeremy back to life. Caroline is concerned about the witches that used to haunt the place but Bonnie reassures her they're gone. As Caroline finishes lighting the last of the candles, Bonnie begins chanting.
Caroline stands awkwardly and looks concerned when a breeze begins, freaking her out. Caroline tries to interrupt Bonnie but she continues and eventually they see Grams. Grams says hello to Caroline and then explains to Bonnie why all of the ghostly situations are occurring: Bonnie opened up the door to the other side when they sent Vicki back and an old witch on that side gave a free pass to anybody with unfinished business. Grams say that witches talk, even on the other side.
Caroline's standing in the background smiling and trying not to disturb the moment. Caroline later fills Elena in on the phone about what Grams said. The key to everything is Elena's necklace but this time Bonnie has to destroy it.
Elena says she walked in on Jeremy and Anna kissing. Later, Caroline calls Elena again because the necklace isn't where Damon told them it would be and they can't contact him. Elena disregards her worries because she has another plan in mind and tells Caroline to stop Bonnie from sending the ghosts back, for now. Elena tells Caroline that Lexi is helping Stefan again. Bonnie overhears and asks Caroline.
Caroline eventually relents and tells Bonnie about Jeremy and Anna's kiss. Caroline assures Bonnie that they will find the necklace. They begin searching Damon's room. Jeremy calls Bonnie, and Caroline answers it. Jeremy tells Caroline that the ghosts of the tomb vampires killed Tobias Fell and to be careful as her family will be next.
Caroline suggests Anna took the necklace but Jeremy defends her. Caroline warns him to be careful before he loses everything. Caroline and Bonnie are on their way to the witch house when they see that something isn't right.
Caroline spots Carol's car on the sidewalk. Frederick 's ghost walks in front of Bonnie's car, causing her to come to a sudden halt. The rest of the tomb vampires' ghosts appear, and Caroline decides to do something. Caroline tells Bonnie to drive off as she gets out, and to send them all back to the other side. She fights the ghosts off until they're sent back to the other side, leaving Caroline alone on the street. Caroline is with Tyler at school and they're working on decorations for the upcoming Homecoming dance.
Tyler asks if they can leave to go and eat. Caroline realizes Tyler wants to feed on people. He tells her Rebekah has some friends who "enjoy being fed on," and he enjoys it.
He tells her Matt is going to the dance with Rebekah that night. Caroline is visibly jealous. Tyler assures her if he's sired to anyone, it's her. That night, the gym is flooded so the dance is cancelled, annoying Caroline. Tyler throws a party at his house to compensate. Caroline is confused about how Tyler managed to do all of this so quickly. Caroline finds Elena and Matt and tells them that Klaus is there, but becomes suspicious when they don't act that surprised.
Later, Tyler confronts her about plans to kill Klaus and doesn't believe Caroline when she says she isn't involved in any scheme to kill him. Caroline says he can't be trusted anymore but he stabs her with vervain. Later, Matt checks Caroline's pulse and questions Tyler on what happened.
Tyler tells Matt to get Caroline away from there, but Matt wants to know what's happening. Tyler tells Matt all he does is to protect Caroline. Tyler tells Matt to get Caroline and anyone else he cares about away from the party quickly and leaves. Caroline wakes up in her room. Tyler appears and asks if she's okay, apologizing, but she says she's past forgiveness. Tyler asks her if she would have left if she had known that the others were trying to take down Klaus.
Caroline asks how they're meant to be together if Tyler is sired to Klaus, but he says he's okay with it. Tyler begs Caroline not to turn her back on him. As Caroline's driving to school, she sees Tyler who is standing near her car; she's not happy to have to face him.
She tells him she can't talk to him but asks what he's doing about Klaus. He says he isn't doing anything and he can't put her first, as much as he wants to. He gives Caroline a birthday present and leaves. She finds his present is a silver charm bracelet. As she returns home, she isn't any happier. She's surprised with an enthusiastic Elena, Bonnie, and Matt wishing her a happy birthday. Elena explains that because Caroline ditched school she missed out on their " birthday work of art " displayed on her locker, so they're bringing the party to her.
Caroline doesn't try to hide how disinterested she is. Caroline points out she's frozen and is never going to be eighteen. Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, and Matt walk into a strange old building that's in the middle of the woods. Elena says that instead of a birthday, Caroline needs a funeral in order to mourn her old life and move on.
Elena, Matt, and Bonnie list Caroline's human qualities and accomplishments. Bonnie uses her powers to light the candles on Caroline's cake and Elena asks Caroline to make a wish. Later, Elena, Bonnie, Matt, and Caroline are still held up in the creepy building.
Caroline is busy on her phone and Elena is skeptical about what she's doing. Caroline admits that she might have text messaged Tyler. Bonnie defends Caroline and turns on Elena, mad at her for having Damon compel Jeremy to leave town. Matt intervenes and Bonnie leaves. Caroline, Elena, and Matt are laughing at something when Tyler arrives. Tyler apologizes, saying that he doesn't mean to crash the party. Matt doesn't seem impressed that Tyler's there, but Caroline jumps up immediately and is ready to talk to him.
Matt says that he just wants Caroline to be happy. In the woods, Tyler is attempting to take back everything that he said that morning to Caroline.
He says that he refuses to let Klaus control him and then he tells her that he loves her. They begin kissing, and Tyler bites Caroline. Tyler runs away and Caroline is left to panic and suffer alone as his bite is killing her. Matt knocks on Caroline's door as he yells for Elizabeth. He hurriedly carries Caroline into her house and lays her down, all the while trying to tell Elizabeth what he thinks happened.
Caroline is in a horrible state and it looks like her bite has already worsened immensely. Klaus shows up, saying that he's there to help but Matt is angry; Elizabeth ends up inviting him in because she had no other option. Caroline is resting when Klaus makes his appearance. He enters Caroline's room, after which she questions whether or not he'd come to kill her.
He asks her if she thinks that low of him to kill her on her birthday, to which she responds with a yes. Jo Laughlin. Brad Sanders Pastor as Pastor. Yvonne Singh Woman as Woman. Julie Plec. Storyline Edit. Nearly all Mystic falls attends sheriff Forbes' funeral, a cause for elaborate reminiscing in her and the mourners' family history.
Matt keeps drunk Tyler away but offers to join police academy together. Damon ends up writing the eulogy, in part making up for his failure to do so at father Salvatore's death to kid brother Stefan's frustration.
Despite lover Alaric's advice, Jo agrees, when Kai shows their magical bond instead of the twins made both of them ill, to donate her magic to him.
Thus they hope to prevent a collapse of the magical prison dimensions, between which Bonnie now finds herself traveling, before returning to elated Damon. The brothers agree now Stefan is over losing Elena, he should go for his less passionate love for Caroline, whom Elena analyzes as in denial but fails to stop from turning off her emotions in vampire mode.
