Inspite of what Damon told Elena about Stefan never coming back, he wishes that he does. Stefan and Damon can never be separated. Kath, Elena, Klaus - nobody can take the brothers away from each-other.
Am not sure about Caroline and Tyler in this episode.Look, i love them but i just felt there was no depth to them - i mean, something was missing. Caro looked gorgeous though.
Klaus made me smile when he jibed at Stefan that he just can't stop caring about his family , can he? Klaus too has a chink in his armour somewhere - he is evil and everything but something about him makes you wonder if he has a soft side. Come on, Klaus. Stefan can give up anything for his brother Damon and you just wait and watch how Damon snatches Stefan back.
Elena is not giving up the hope of seeing Stefan again. She loves him and that is that. The phone convo between her and Stefan was heartbreaking. It showed that Stefan , inspite of reverting to bloody days is Damon's Stefan and Elena's Stefan. He knows that he cannot face Elena with what he has become. But I loved what Elena told him :
"I love you, Stefan. Hold on to that. And never let go."
For Elena, he is still her Stefan. The blood, the gore, the evil in him dissolves into the angelic light she has seen in him and fallen in love with.
Bring on Season 3.
