Now that Alaric is no longer a vampire capable of lifting Elena’s compulsion, she’s resorting to more dangerous methods to remember the love she once felt for Damon.

And Damon is once again practicing the fine art of letting her go.

On The Vampire Diaries Season 6 Episode 7, Elena’s attempts to remember Damon were for naught. After telling him to recount their love affair for her, she still couldn’t remember anything but the pain he caused and the people he killed.

Until, that is, she tried to walk across the Mystic Falls border to strip away the memories.

Once she crossed the border, the memories came flooding back. Unfortunately, so did the waters in which she drowned. Damon pulled her back just before she died and when he did, the memories disappeared. All of them except a fraction of a night they spent together looking at the stars.

When she asked him to tell her what happened after it started raining, Damon instead let her go. He wants her to be happy and live the life she moved on toward in his absence.

She won’t be able to do that and we all know it, but hey, good on him for trying.

Speaking of trying Kai is trying to force Bonnie to return them both to the present day, but instead she sent her teddy bear, Ms. Cuddles. It was a nice, if silly, move. Damon found the bear and knows Bonnie is alive. Kai is trapped with her in 1994 and pissed.

Thankfully, Damon as just met Kai’s last living sister, Jo, so there’s little doubt he’ll have her practicing witchcraft again in no time.

Enzo didn’t make any friends this week when he killed Tripp Fell, and Caroline and Stefan are still just as frustrating as ever. What’s coming next week?

Let’s watch The Vampire Diaries online and find out.
