Death & Afterlives · Era V, The Doppelgänger War
Peace
Hell is gone and the Other Side has been gone for years, so the dead simply find peace. Bonnie breaks the spell and Elena wakes. She and Damon grow old and die of nothing in particular. Stefan and Lexi are waiting. The Salvatore house becomes a school.
Details
- It is the tidiest ending any of the three shows gets, and the only one that closes its afterlife question properly.
- Bonnie survives, travels, and lives. Matt stays as sheriff. Caroline and Alaric open the school with a donation from Klaus.
- Damon and Elena grow old together and die of nothing supernatural whatsoever, which is the most radical thing the show ever does.
- Stefan finds Lexi. Damon finds Stefan. The last shot is the two brothers, which is what the whole thing was about.
