Jeremy says Goodbye to Mystic Falls on VD! (My 6x14 Thoughts)
If you haven't heard, I got a tumblr account so many gifs I used here, I had reblogged them onto my tumblr since I have no clue how to make one!
Alright so here is a jotted recap of the episode with my initial thoughts included throughout and after the episode. I do it this way because my memory sucks when it comes to recalling things that don't revolve around my OTP for the series.
SEASON 6
Don't forget: light blue are thoughts, red is sneak peek parts
Once again, I apologize for the format if its out of alignment...again -_-
**MAJOR SPOILER ALERT**
"Vampire Diaries" - ep. 6x14 ("Stay") [wiki page here] [Extended Promo]
[Producer's Preview] [My Tumblr page for 6x14]
Synopsis: GOODBYE, MYSTIC FALLS - It’s Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) last day in Mystic Falls and Elena (Nina Dobrev) puts on a brave face as they reminisce about their past. Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice Accola) find themselves growing closer as they prepare Caroline’s family cabin for her mother to live out her final days. While packing up her office, Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacInytre) turns to Damon (Ian Somerhalder) for help solving one of her remaining open cases involving Elena’s parents. Elsewhere, when a violent confrontation with Enzo (Michael Malarkey) leaves Jeremy wondering whether he should leave or not, Matt (Zach Roerig) finds his own life on the line after Enzo lures him and Sarah Salvatore (guest star Tristan Mays) into his dangerous plan. Lastly, Caroline rushes to the hospital after learning her mother has taken a turn for the worse.
While I'm said to see Jeremy leave, at least he's not dying! When he and Elena reminisce together, will we see flashbacks or old archive footage (like with Elena's memories of Damon being revisited in 6x02)?
I can't wait for the police partnership between Liz and Damon!

CREDITS
As if Jeremy's departure wasn't sad enough, Liz had to die too! I truly thought that if Liz were to die at all, it would be in the next episode (6x15).
While Damon spent Liz's last day with her by helping her fulfil her wish (and I absolutely love that time they spent together), I couldn't help but feel bad for Caroline as she spent the day at the family cabin with Stefan (and while I'm a Staroline fan, I don't think she's in the right state of mind to pursue a romantic development between her and Stefan).
I'm a little disappointed that nothing supernatural was behind the car accident. I thought maybe the luggage was because Grayson and Miranda were going to run and hide Elena because they heard of a supernatural threat against her.
Jeremy's departure...his goodbye with Alaric...makes a lot more sense now. I couldn't accept that Jeremy was leaving for art school but to learn that it was a ploy and that he's actually learning to pursue hunting, THAT makes more sense. Jeremy can't just walk away from the supernatural, not after the impact its made on his life. Now I can't help possibly crossover scenarios that have Jeremy running into the Winchesters and being taken under their wing.
See you next week for 6x15...Julie Plec's directorial debut and possibly Lexi's return in flashbacks! Maybe Mini Salvatores too!
Alright so here is a jotted recap of the episode with my initial thoughts included throughout and after the episode. I do it this way because my memory sucks when it comes to recalling things that don't revolve around my OTP for the series.
SEASON 6
Don't forget: light blue are thoughts, red is sneak peek parts
Once again, I apologize for the format if its out of alignment...again -_-

As if Jeremy's departure wasn't sad enough, Liz had to die too! I truly thought that if Liz were to die at all, it would be in the next episode (6x15).
While Damon spent Liz's last day with her by helping her fulfil her wish (and I absolutely love that time they spent together), I couldn't help but feel bad for Caroline as she spent the day at the family cabin with Stefan (and while I'm a Staroline fan, I don't think she's in the right state of mind to pursue a romantic development between her and Stefan).
I'm a little disappointed that nothing supernatural was behind the car accident. I thought maybe the luggage was because Grayson and Miranda were going to run and hide Elena because they heard of a supernatural threat against her.
Jeremy's departure...his goodbye with Alaric...makes a lot more sense now. I couldn't accept that Jeremy was leaving for art school but to learn that it was a ploy and that he's actually learning to pursue hunting, THAT makes more sense. Jeremy can't just walk away from the supernatural, not after the impact its made on his life. Now I can't help possibly crossover scenarios that have Jeremy running into the Winchesters and being taken under their wing.
See you next week for 6x15...Julie Plec's directorial debut and possibly Lexi's return in flashbacks! Maybe Mini Salvatores too!
