Download The Vampires Diaries Season 8, Episode 16 [the finale] below.. First a little recap
“I Was Feeling Epic”: Eight seasons ago, Elena Gilbert met Stefan Salvatore. They talked all night. It was epic. And in season 2, when Stefan’s best friend Lexi played relationship whisperer and told Elena that “when it’s real, you can’t walk away,” she explained to Stefan that she decided to be his wingman because, well, she was feeling epic. And now, in the series finale, it was Stefan’s turn to do something — or more accurately — something else that was epic … and it cost him his life.
Let’s get into it for one final recap, and no I didn’t cry as I wrote that. (Yes I did.)
The action starts with Bonnie’s collapse. Stefan’s trying CPR to resuscitate her, but it’s not working. And when Caroline’s vampire blood doesn’t work either, we flash to the woods, where Bonnie’s wandering when she sees Elena lying in what looks like a very comfortable bed. Elena, excited to see her best friend, hugs Bonnie before realizing what this means: If Bonnie’s here, that means Bonnie is dead, and that’s not okay with Elena. Bonnie was supposed to live a full life and grow old, but as Bonnie tells Elena, “I can be with Enzo now… I’m ready.”
But Enzo’s not. Appearing to Bonnie, Enzo tells her that it’s not her time before he pulls her back into the light, which causes her to wake up. After hugging Caroline, Bonnie turns to Stefan and tells him, “I saw her. I saw Elena.”
Back at the bell tower, Damon and Matt show up to stop Vicki from ringing the bell, but as she tells them, there’s nothing they can do. Damon, desperate to disprove that, throws Vicki off of the bell tower. (He’s always had a thing for killing her.) It doesn’t take long for her to return, and after he “tests his theory” by breaking her neck, it’s official: Vicki is just going to keep coming back to life. So, Damon leaves Matt to try to get through to………….
