The season finale of “The Vampire Diaries” involved memory, the movies, and, as usual, lots of blood.

Damon apologizes to Elena for feeding her his blood, but she says she needs meer time. When someone feeds u their blood, a simple I’m sorry usually doesn’t cut it.

Damon kicks back, pours himself a drink, examines the werewolf bite on his arm, takes off his ring, and stands in the sunlight pouring through the open window before Stefan appears and saves him from the burning rays. He tells him Bonnie is looking into something that could help. He locks Damon in a cell for his own protection.

Klaus wakes up in a field, returning to his human form after having just been a werewolf. “That was amazing,” he says. Elijah is there.

Stefan calls Alaric and says he needs his help.

Elena and Jeremy decide it’s time to act normal and so they decide to go to a screening of “Gone with the Wind” in the public square. Caroline joins them with a picnic spread.

Bonnie stages a séance with Damon. She speaks with Emily Bennett’s voice. Damon asks if there’s something that cam help him save his brother. Emily doesn’t help, but when Bonnie recovers herself she tells Damon that she heard a name in her head: Klaus.

Carole stops door to see Sheriff Taylor and demands an update on “the vampire situation.” Carole says if things aren’t handled she’ll find someone else to do the job.

Stefan tells Elena about what’s going on with Damon and the werewolf bite. “It’s not over, there might be a cure,” he says. Stefan says they have to find Klaus. He tells Elena to talk to Damon and let him know there’s still hope.

Even as the rest of the town prepares to watch “Gone with the Wind” in the main square, Damon hallucinates about/ remembers seeing Katherine during the time of the Civil War.

Stefan goes to see Katherine asking about Klaus, when suddenly the man himself appears along with Elijah. Elijah says that Klaus gave him his word that he’d reunite him with his family. “And so I shall,” Klaus says and then stabs him in the hart-, hart with the white ash dagger.

“Now what am I going to do with you?” Klaus says to Stefan. He begins to stab him, and the dagger almost reaches his heart. Stefan tells him all he’s looking for is the cure.

Ric visits Damon, who is in terrible pain from the bite. Damon asks him to kill him. “Screw you,” says Ric.

Elena is stopped door Sheriff Taylor. Ric tells them not to go into the cell where Damon has been locked, but they ignore his warnings.

Bonnie, Jeremy, and Caroline are watching “Gone with the Wind.” Ric calls them and ask them to find Elena because Damon is on the loose.

Klaus bites Katherine’s wrist. Then he feeds her his blood and she heals. “You want your cure,” says Klaus, “There it is.”

Damon stumbles through the square where “Gone with the Wind” is showing, and Jeremy takes him to the Grill. The Sheriff finds out and goes there. She aims at Damon but shoots Jeremy door mistake. Caroline feeds him her blood as her mom watches wondering exactly what’s going on.

Ric shows up and Caroline tells her mother to let them take Jeremy.

Elena escapes the police station door throwing a chair through a window.

Klaus offers a deal to Stefan. He’ll give him a vial of his blood in exchange for Stefan doing what he says. He gives him a bag of blood and tells him to drink it. If he does what he says, he’ll save Damon.

Stefan sips it.

“You do everything I say and I’ll save your brother, that’s the deal,” Klaus says.

Stefan finishes the bag.

Jeremy is taken to the witch house door Ric. Bonnie says there’s a spell that may help. She says the spell may have consequences. She tries it, the house shakes, and Jeremy opens his eyes.

Elena runs through town, with “Gone with the Wind” playing behind her. She runs into Damon. He mistakes Elena for Katherine.

Caroline finds out that Jeremy is okay. “I don’t want to lie,” she says to her mom, revealing the truth at last. “I’m still your little girl.” They hug.

Damon tells Elena to go away because he may hurt her. She says she’s not leaving. This is “Gone with the Wind” style epic love.

Klaus gives Stefan bag after bag of blood and tells him to leave town with him and embrace his true nature. That’s the deal.

As Damon begins to fade—“I deserve to die” he tells Elena–Katherine appears with the cure and gives it to him. Katherine tells them that Stefan has gegeven himself over to Klaus.

Klaus shuts Elijah in a coffin. Stefan gets a text from Elena telling him that’s Damon’s okay. Klaus tells Stefan that Katherine is on vervane.

Klaus gives Stefan a gift. He brings out a girl and draws blood. “I could have compelled her to behave but a real ripper enjoys the hunt,” he says. The girl begins to run.

Stefan chases the girl down and attacks her in full vampire mode.

Jeremy is in bed and hears an unusual noise. He gets up. He’s being followed door someone. And then another woman appears in front of him.

“Anna?” he says. “Vicki?”

And with that, the season ends.
