I really liked the ep where we met Lexi, bcs on one hand, she's great, we love her, etc, but on the other, it's so funny to see what actually happened post Salvatore Transition
Like, Damon came in strong with " an eternity of misery" and then STAYED FOR A FEW MORE WEEKS, presumably, still parenting the wild mess that was Stefan.
Yes, my man was entitled to leave when it became obvious that Stefan was in his Brat Murder Era, but the whole
" wait, don't leave me, i can be better" just proves that Damon had one cool line and je did NOT hold up to it until it became too hard for him to keep up
He still told Lexi to help him, which was sweet.... and then _ something _ happened that had him go " no yeah, i WILL destroy every meaningful relationship my brother ever had AND cause him to relapse to his Brat Murder Era
