Love triumphs over Death in Mystic Falls.

This week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries explores what everyone is willing to sacrifice for love when faced with overwhelming odds. Damon makes a surprising deal with Tessa that will have unforeseen consequences.

The episode opens with Silas (Paul Wesley) at a bus stop with a young couple in love. He recounts how he met his soul mate Amara and the saga of them being torn apart for 2000 years. Silas tells them he’s not crazy (they find his story hard to believe), he still wants to be with Amara even though she stabbed him. He tells them to live it up and enjoy their love while it lasts because up until two days ago he was “immortal, psychic, and in love” but now his neck hurts, his soul is crushed and he’s sitting at a bus stop. Then he kills the guy by burning up his internal organs. When the girl asks him to stop, he says he’s a witch, who is angry at the world. As the terrified girl runs away, Silas comments that love is fickle, but buses are tried and true. (This entire scene was genius. Got to love his wicked sense of humor!).
