WhatвЂ™s beautiful about that moment: By not choosing to sacrifice Bonnie for Elena, Damon finally proved, without a doubt, that heвЂ™s worthy of ElenaвЂ™s love. Damon snuck up behind Kai and decapitated him.Дamon rushed to Bonnie to feed her his blood, and she lived. Kai was disappointed: He wanted Damon to be tortured by the decision, at least long enough to flip a coin. Damon apologized to Bonnie, kissed her forehead, pulled his hand away from her, and walked away.

Kai gave Bonnie a toss and collapsed one of her lungs, which, as Kai noted when Damon showed up, was a gift: All Damon had to do was let Bonnie die, and heвЂ™d get Elena back now. She later met up with Kai at the wedding site to try to get him to break the spell linking her to Elena. In the loophole-loving world of TVD, Kai was able to ultimately heal himself (because magic!), which was bad news for Bonnie. Werewolf Tyler came along at just the right time and bit Kai. Alaric then tried to shoot himself in the head but was out of ammunition. He woke up, had a touch of his fatherвЂ™s blood to complete the transition, and he was a Heretic.ДЄlaric, who placed JoвЂ™s dead body in his car at the start of the most uncomfortable sequence in the entire episode, learned of KaiвЂ™s new status when he put bullets in him and failed to kill him. That meant heвЂ™d died with vampire blood in his system. With the action moving so fast, viewers may not have had time to realize what Kai was really up to: In exchange for the promise of bringing back LilyвЂ™s вЂњfamily,вЂќ Lily had given Kai her blood.

But her telling Tyler to do something with his life, combined with mind-invading Elena later suggesting that he leave Mystic Falls to embrace being a werewolf, makes it easier to understand why the character will bolt (actor Michael Trevino is also leaving the show). They exchanged вЂњI love you's, she told him 'DonвЂ™t waste itвЂќ (meaning his second second chance), and he suffocated her. Wrong: She remembered that if he triggered his werewolf curse by killing someone, heвЂ™d heal. Since Liv was therefore condemned to death and Tyler was impaled with glass, Tyler assumed theyвЂ™d leave this world together. The Gemini coven thought Kai was irredeemable? HeвЂ™d prove they were right: If he died, theyвЂ™d die. KaiвЂ™s master plan: So first Kai stabbed himself in the neck as Alaric held his dead, pregnant bride in his arms (RIP, Jo and your love of wine).
