Elena begs for mercy. Wes tells her she'll be doing the world a favor. He might not be able to kill vampires, but she will. He jabs her with the hypo -- through her shirt, right in the boob. Elena, if you get out of this, you should sue him for sexual harassment. Before Wes can inject the compound, Stefan calls out for her. Wes still hasn't depressed the plunger. Elena headbutts Wes. He falls back and takes the hypo with him, so I *think* she hasn't received the compound. Stefan frees Elena and helps her to her feet. On their way out, she grabs her dad's notes.

When Enzo flies at him, Damon shoves his hand into Enzo's chest and grabs hold of his heart. Now it's time for his side of the story. He hasn't thought about Enzo, because in order to save himself and leave Enzo, Damon had to shut off his humanity. "I flipped the switch, and then I felt nothing. No remorse. No regret. No pain." Enzo asks if he feels any of that now. "Even if I forgave you Damon, would that make you less of a horrible person?" Damon lets go of Enzo's heart and tells him they're even. Enzo says, "You were the most important person in my life, and you ruined me, but that's just who you are. That's who you'll always be -- a monster." Yeah, we get it show. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm in Ace's living room, surviving an anvil attack? Commercial.
