There is something that I realized about Damon is 4x18 that I didn’t write about in my anterior post…
The fact that Damon starts the episode out por saying:
“Elena without her humanity is a stone cold bitch, and I won’t trust her until we get the old Elena back”.
but then seems to completely forget what he told Stefan when Rebekah has the cure in her hands and asks:
“Go on Damon, Tell me why you want Elena to have the cure”.
This may sound weird but I realized how absolutely beautiful his “moment of weakness” was because HE LOVES ELENA NO MATTER WHAT… human…vampire… humanity… no humanity… despite what she tried on him in New York…despite thinking that she’s a stone cold bitch… his moment his weakness… the thought that he might lose her if she takes the cure mattered mais at the moment then her bitchiness…
Then the reasoning he gives to Stefan is even mais beautiful:
“I thought for a second… literally just a segundo ‘If Rebakah takes this, then ALL my PROBLEMS go away’ and couldn’t think of one good reason to give it to Elena”
Meaning that he doesn’t think Elena is a problem… he doesn’t see her as something that needs to be fixed… he loves her despite the manipulation and stealing his car :)… he just loves her…no conditions
“And then Rebekah took it, and I realized out badly I screwed up”
Because he wasn’t thinking about Elena… his weakness is his selfishness… it takes a lot for someone to be selfless… it takes strength… so once his “moment of weakness” passed… he realized all the reasons she should get the cure… because she wanted the cure… no because she deserves the cure to have the life that she wanted…because she might do something that she would be able to take back…
Damon: …just like you and I falling for the same girl… its our thing
Confirming that he is still completely in amor with her…
Stefan: It was our thing
Hinting that he isn’t… or at the very least foreshadowing that at some point he won’t be… or confirming that what he told Elena back in 4x11 “You don’t know what I look like when I’m not in amor with you” was the truth and that he isn’t in amor with her anymore
”Okay… okay, lets just get the cure and then, we’ll talk about you riding off into the sunset all por your lonesome”… because I’m not going with you… because I’m not going to leave her :) … beautiful, just beautiful
“You still want to get the cure… even if it means that you might lose her”
“It a chance I’m willing to take, Stefan”
I think this may be the first time that Damon directly shows his selflessness to his brother… I think that Stefan is starting to see that Damon isn’t has selfish as he thought.
“I mean, Selflessness isn’t one of your most obviously character traits, Damon”
“Yeah, well, One of these days your going to realize that you don’t know me half as well as you think” -4x08
I think that this is one of those days… I think that Stefan discovering who his brother really is, is part of his storyline… part of the redemption and bonding for their relationship as brothers.

Elena and Bonnie were sitting outside the Grill, both having a lemonade, when both their phones rang.
“Bonnie” Bonnie said.
“Hello, Elena speaking” Elena said, trying not to give away anything and hoping Bonnie would be too caught up in her own conversation.
“It’s time” Damon said. “Meet me at the Boarding House. I’ll be in the car” He ended the conversation.
And so did Bonnie. “Elena, I’m so sorry, but I have to go” she apologized.
“Oh?” Elena said sheepish.
“Yeah, I’m having a encontro, data tonight” Bonnie blushed.
“Really? That’s great! Who’s the lucky one?” Elena fired her curiosity.
“Ehm, I rather not say. At least not until it’s official” Bonnie said.
“Of course, I get it” Elena said. Bonnie put some money on the table. “See you tomorrow?”
“Yeah, tell me all that happened” Elena waved as Bonnie walked away. The moment she was gone Elena jumped up and ran away as if she was being chased.

“She suggested to stay with her so we could catch up, but I already promised Keith to stay with him. But we spent mais time together. When Mayor Lockwood died I returned, but you know that. You basically stalked me with your calls to get you out of trouble. How many nights did you spend in jail?” Kelsey chuckled. Then she sighed. “If I had foreseen this I would’ve enjoyed those little moments”
Amber didn’t react.
“Amber, sweetie, did you fall asleep?” Kelsey asked with a squeezed voice, knowing better. She pulled her sister up, taking her face in her hands. “Come on, it’s night. You’re a vampire, you should be awake” she said with a trembling voice.
But Amber still didn’t show any sign of life.
“Amber?” Kelsey sobbed, tears rolling over her cheeks and she held her little sister tightly in her arms. The moon slowly rose…
