Episode Review on Vampire Diaries Episode "The Descent"

The long winter hiatus could have not ended any sooner! Let me just start by saying this: I love Tvd!
Okay so the episode started pretty Friday the 13th-ish with Jules aka Barbie werewolf waking up post-transformation. Yeah she looks all innocent(well not really) until she puts on her little water works show an kills a poor officer. Guess there is such a thing as being at the wrong place @ the wrong time.
Then the scene turns yummy when a mousy Elena scans for Stefan in his room. Then wa-la shirtless Stefan appears behind her. Can I just say this scene should have been longer. Look at that back! That is what I call perfection.





Too bad there wasn't much of Stefan in this episode. But, I think it was a necessary evil in order to make this a great Damon episode..
Moving on to Caroline now. I really loved the Caroline and Tyler scenes but at the same time I felt bad for Matt. The guy needs a girlfriend that will actually care for him otherwise he's just going to be that loser in the background nobody notices even more. Harsh but true. I was glad Tyler snuck in a kiss though ;) 

At the beginning I thought this episode was just going to be about Elena the babysitter but the episode goes on to be very Damon&Rose centric, which I loved! Damon actually really cares about Rose <3 He went from player jerk to an emotional caring jerk.***Cool bed by the way Damon****  The Vampire Diaries : WORTH. THE. WAIT.
Yes this episode leads to Rose's death. (JULES YOU SUCK!) Rose dying was one of the saddest scenes ever! I don't know what exactly got me crying first: Damon hugging her while his one perfect tear goes down his face or Rose talking while she was dying? Maybe it was also the fact that Damon was trying to make Rose's last moments alive as beautiful as possible. Seriously, how adorable do they look together?  

This episode made me realize how perfect Rose and Damon are for each other. Rose is a perfect example that not only Elena can reach out to his humanity.  


I swear to you that these scenes made my heart sing with both joy and sadness.
I haven't cried this much since the Stelena breakup scene. Ian Somerhalder and Lauren Cohen deserve an award for their amazing performances! Asap! The episode ends with Damon's human confession and him returning to his usual jerk self(understandable) by killing a girl on the road. I got a little teary-eyed in this scene too.   I really just wanted to hug Damon at the end of the episode. This poor guy cannot catch a break. I'm hoping there will be more Damon and Bonnie scenes soon! <3 Well, that's it for now. I'll leave you with this beautiful image of Damon and Rose and hopefully you can dream of a happy ending for them.


They look too beautiful together
