Speaking of, I loved the undercurrent of respect and trust between Damon and Jeremy. I always adore their scenes together on screen because the big brother/little brother dynamic really sneaks in there. Jeremy knows Damon well enough to know he’s going to be a dick and a jerk but also not wholly mean it. And there’s this respect there that…I dunno how to explain it exactly. I think the understanding between D/E works in the same way. Jeremy and Damon have a similar understanding and it works for them. For example when Damon snarked about what good is Jeremy if he comes back from the dead and can’t talk to a ghost when Damon needs him to, Jeremy’s mouth quirks in a half smile and Damon responds with a sadder, bitter one. Heh, and Jeremy cuts Damon off before he can make a comment about Jer making friends so I think it’s safe to say they are comfortable with each other as friends at least.
Another notable thing was how Jeremy and Damon interacted once they reached the motel room. Damon’s sarcasm was met with a calm reply about it not working that way and Damon answering that yes he knew. The whole way Jeremy went about it was great, imo, and showed his understanding of Damon as a person and patience. Elena was sucking on a lemon for the most part, though she did make the suggestion that Damon talk about something meaningful with Rose. I also found it telling that Damon was willing to share the dream he gave with Rose to both Elena and Jeremy. Sure Elena pushed for something, but Damon didn’t have to talk about that memory. That was strictly between him and Rose so the fact he shared it with Jeremy and Elena is telling of how he views them imo. Sure it was necessary to an extent but he could have shared something else like her being willing to stay to help deal with the threat to Elena via Klaus.
And Rose…oh Rose was just AWESOME! I hope we see her one more time before the season is over, I really do.
Much love and agreement with your Damon/Elena thoughts! What a kiss!!! :D I could say more, but I think I've prattled enough for one day, lol.
