8.12 | I will NOT let you destroy yourself!

[bonneibennett]

I think Bonnie's favourite flowers in 7x19 is the roses, bc like Enzo calls her she has all this fire and passion. O_O

They never told us, so your guess is as good as mine! :)

But Enzo said they would be reunited soon and no one will ever come between them…

Hmm, when did he say that? I heard kind of the opposite for 8x15.

Hey nisha, I didn't watch the episode tonight. Can you give me a quick summary of Bonnie's scenes in this episode. I'm hoping there were some magic related scenes. But idk.

- Bonnie, still in the foyer of her house with Enzo’s body outside the front door, answers Damon’s phone call and lets him know that Enzo is dead. She tells him to stay away, Damon says not until he knows she’s safe, says he’ll take care of Stefan. She tells him she already did, that Stefan is human now.

- Damon talks to Caroline on the phone, who is hurt that Bonnie isn’t answering her calls. He tells her to think about why Bonnie might not want to talk to her just then, that surely she understands.

- Bonnie makes tea, appears to be numb/in shock, she hears Enzo’s voice calling out to her, asking for help. Her thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door: Abby is there, Caroline called her and told her what happened, hoped that Bonnie would talk to Abby instead. They hug, Bonnie appears tired/resigned, not relieved.

- Abby sprinkles flower petals over Enzo in a (GORGEOUS, AMAZING, COVETABLE) greenhouse/solarium, she tells Bonnie that it’s time to say her goodbyes and let him go, to give him back to the earth. Bonnie tells her that she can’t, that she thinks Enzo is calling out to her… or that she’s losing her mind. Abby says she’s just grieving, and Bonnie says she knows grief and this is different. She wants to find a way to reach back and talk to him, and when Abby hesitates she says she came here wanting to find a way to help, so let this be it.

- Matt has been trying to reach Bonnie, but she’s not answering her phone. (He has some cool Bennett mythology storyline in this ep, but it’s not directly Bonnie-related so I’ll skip it)

- Bonnie and Abby hold hands over Enzo’s body and Abby calls out and says they’re there to listen. A gust of wind sweeps over them and disturbs the flowers on Enzo’s corpse. Abby has a vision and screams out, immediately throwing herself back before hurriedly blowing out all of the candles in the room to sever the connection they’d made. She explains to Bonnie that she felt Enzo’s final moments, saw that he was in hell. The concussive force we saw when she cried out in grief over Enzo’s body as he died knocked open the door to that dimension. She says that they have to burn Enzo’s body and break that connection. Bonnie protests, but Abby insists that as Bonnie reaches into hell, hell is reaching back for her. Abby leaves the room to gather supplies or something, and Bonnie turns back to Enzo, promising that she “won’t leave [him].” She suddenly faints and collapses.

- Abby finds Bonnie on the ground, and when she isn’t responsive, she rushes to splash lighter fluid over Enzo and sets him on fire. As he burns, Bonnie wakes up and screams out his name, as Abby holds her back from rushing towards the flames. Abby pulls her away and tells her she had to do it, that she failed Bonnie as a mother in so many ways but that she wouldn’t let her destroy herself. She tells her that Enzo wasn’t reaching out to her, that Bonnie opened the door, not him. That Enzo loved her, and wouldn’t want to drag her into that kind of suffering. She tells Bonnie she has to let him go, has to say goodbye, and she pulls her into a hug. Bonnie cries into her shoulder, her gaze set on Enzo’s body as it burns in the background.

- Bonnie arrives back at her house in Mystic Falls and finds Matt outside. He says he’s sorry for what happened to Enzo, and that he knows what it’s like to be in that position and that nothing he says can make her feel better. When she says she doesn’t know if she can do it, he assures her that she’s one of the strongest people he knows, and that she can. He tells her to take comfort in knowing how much Enzo loved her. He kisses her forehead and tells her to call him if there’s anything he can help with, and leaves. Bonnie’s finger brushes over Enzo’s locket around her neck, as she heads inside.

- Stefan tells Damon that he’s been thinking for hours on what he can say to Bonnie, but there isn’t anything he can think of. That if he can’t forgive himself, then he can’t expect her to either. Damon tells him that he might be surprised, and that Bonnie is a better person than them both. He says that the clock won’t start ticking on Bonnie’s forgiveness until Stefan says the words, and shows her his remorse. Stefan leaves to talk to her, and asks Damon if he thinks there’s any chance at redemption for them both. Damon struggles for a moment but eventually smiles reassuringly and says, “Absolutely.” But from his expression after Stefan walks away, and from a scene we saw with him and Cade earlier, he doesn’t actually have reason to believe that’s true.

Hahaha so much for a “quick summary”???? :)

I'm confused was Bonnie thinking of Enzo when dancing with Damon or did Enzo actually like implement himself? Like how Damon did to Elena when her and Stefan were kissing in an earlier season...when she looked down it was Damon instead of Stefan? I hope that made sense lol 😩

I don’t know for sure. With Jeremy/Anna, it was implied that ghosts could only appear if you were thinking about them, but I don’t think the mechanics of Bonnie’s dimension would necessarily be the same as the Other Side’s mechanics, you know? When Bonnie was surprised to see Enzo at the beginning of the episode after she slammed the door on Stefan, he said that “when you’re in this state [ie. emotional, angry], it seems to be quite easy] for him to manifest himself. So, I guess he’s able to appear to her of his own volition, but idk. It’s still not really clear.

As for that SE kiss turning into her kissing Damon, that was the sire bond messing with Elena’s head... so that one I think we can say at least is a totally different scenario.

I love BD, but... Do you know what's gonna be a big 'F U' to the BD fandom? When in the finale, there's a parallel to the 5x22 scene with BE. Imagine this, B's dying, her dimension's crashing down, when E appears, and holds her hand, as they go to 'Paradise'. I can see JP doing this, just to hurt the BD fandom. I mean, she did that with the BD dance 2.0, by putting Enzo there, and the DE's having a reunion hug, that's a poor excuse of the BDs' hug, so why not do that with the hand holding?

lmao I’m so ready for this show to be over. I’m tired of imagining worst case scenarios, and even more tired of what’s on screen being more disappointing than I’d even imagined.
