The Vampire Diaries "Down the Rabbit Hole"

This episode was heartbreaking. I knew it was coming, but even as prepared as I was for Jeremy's death, it was still horrible. Next week looks like it will be really hard to watch. Jeremy was the only family Elena had left. And besides the obvious departure of Jer, we lost Tyler too. I wasn't that sad until I heard that he is leaving the show, and if he does return it will be as a guest star. I wonder why they chose to write him off? My only guess is that it has to do with Klaroline. I am really excited to see what develops there and there was no chance of Caroline and Klaus with Tyler in the picture.

I do miss Damon's bad side sometimes, but I love his sweet and selfless side that we have seen so much of this season. And he still has his hilarious snarky comments like, calling Vaughn Shrek, and Bonnie "Bonnie the Teenage Witch" and saying "Does it look like i know anything about tattoos? look at my skin, its flawless" I don't know why everyone is so shocked when he does something selfless. I think we should be shocked if Stefan ever does something selfless. When Damon told Stefan to leave him and go with Elena, Stefan barely hesitated before jumping down the well. I loved when Damon said "I'm going to find the cure, and give it to the girl I love."

I hope Rebekah and Stefan aren't over, but I'm not sure that she will get over him wanting to give the cure to Elena and he will get over her breaking his neck. We'll see though. Looks like next week Rebekah will be teaming up with Damon, so it might be a while before Stebekah or Delena for that matter are reunited.

I had a feeling that Shane wasn't really as bad as we thought, just doing bad things because he was tricked by his "wife". I feel like there is still a lot that he doesn't know. He gave that headstone away, but Katherine stole it. She must know something about it that Shane doesn't. This is the second time she has taken it.

There are so many questions left unanswered like:

What does Katherine want with the cure and the headstone?

How will Elena cope with losing Jeremy?

What will happen with Silas?

Is there still hope for any of our remaining couples Stebekah, Delena and Klaroline?

Will Silas be affected with the hunter's curse?

Will any of the main characters be cured of vampirism?

I cannot wait to find out! Comment below if you have any theories.
