Ah, ok I see. I really have to rewatch more because I was of the impression that Caroline was still hating on Damon for the better part of s7 and s8. But her not even realizing her changed feelings/forgiving does make sense of course. And then there are those scenes yozu mentioned which I totally forgot about.

Yeah, there weren't that many scenes or signs that Caroline had forgiven him because it wasn't big things that would make it obvious because she didn't realize it herself.

And not just D/B. For this ep I actually read some S/E, who obviously still have hope and saw some romance between Stefan and Elena in this ep? I just don't understand some people. So much delusion.

Seriously? HOW EVEN! Delusional is right.

But the bell was magic, so who spelled it?

We don't know what witch exactly did it, but there have been witches in Mystic Falls forever. Basically, the witches created it to destroy the Sirens. It wasn't about opening hell, it was about destroying the Sirens, but the Armory caught the Siren instead (I'm figuring that's what happened there). (Remember the Armory knew about the evil in the vault going back over a century, so the Sirens were known about it to some extent.) The bell has to be rung 12 times in succession, and during ceremonies and stuff it would only be rung once or twice every now and then, not 12 times in succession.

if it was just a coincidence that the Maxwell bell and MF were chosen.

I'm thinking because of stuff that happened that led to Sybil being captured.
