    haha Damon, making shit awkward since 1864

  • http://twitter.com/Huntressfan87 Shannon

    This is why I love Damon.  Tell it how it is and make it even more awkward/funny. That last part was great, Bonnie’s just kinda like “uhhh” and then Elena’s like “well shit.”  Hehe. Love it.

    “We kissed. Now it’s weird.” Jeez, I love Damon so much! I’m so glad that after all the changes he went through, his sarcasm is intact.

  • L_blakey

    Oh wow you could cut the sexual tension with a knife :) and wow bonnie is gonna find her mum can’t wait to see how that unfolds

  • Charlie

    Elena’s face at the end is a picture…

    Damon is pur evil for that last comment in front of Bonnie!! I love this show, so much!

  • Anonymous

    So, Bonnie is unsure what her mother looks like??  Really?  She doesnt have her mother’s address?  Really?  Bonnie, remember your New Years resolution,you can open the coffin if you want to, and Damon you can go along if you want to, you are a grown vampire you can make your own decisions. Where is Klaus?  That is who I want to see!

  • Dark-obsession

    Haha!
    ‘Whats going on with you two?’
    ‘We kissed, now its weird’
    Love Damon ;)

  • Annemoore

    oh my … how i love ths guy… He´s just so damn hilarious!!!

  • Bianca

    me too :D
    After he dropped the “bomb” road trip turned so much more interesting :D … even without Damon

  • yipiieeiiyy

    omg damon told bonnie just like that hahaha awesome scene

  • Emeri

    CLASSIC DAMON IS BACK!

  • sarah

    wow i usually love damon, but he was kinda annoying me in this scene! like dude stop trying so hard! lol

  • anon

    She doesn’t know what her mother looks like or what her address is because her mother ran out on her when she was little..? And it appears they’ve had no contact since.

    I’m guessing Bonnie didn’t feel compelled (ha) to track her down her until now because, being left like that, she lacked any longing to fill a parent-gap with someone who would abandon and hurt her. Now she’s got practical NEED for her mom- help with the sealed coffin.

  • Stevie1421

    I laughed sooo much at Elena’s facial expression at the end :D God I love Damon and his way of just saying things how they are. She was like “Damn. Busted.” Well at least they’ll have something to talk about on the journey.

  • laney

    I wanna second everything everyone has said so faR!!!!!   love love love love!!!!! I thought he was making a pity face at first and she was gonna say “ok baby, u can come”!

    Oh, I am not hating Bonnie at all, she must have been what 2 or 3 yrs old when her mom left.  Also, her last name is now Wilson, did she remarry??  It was Abby responsiblity to keep in touch with her daughter.  She never sent her child a B-Day card, a care package, nothing?? The parents on this show.

  • Catalena

    Damon is hilarious!!!

  • James_Evers

    These were my thoughts exactly. Elena will undoubtedly be with him so let her come to that at her own leisure. And I’m by no means a big fan of Elena.

    So excited with Bonnie’s first conversation with Abby. So she’s married AND she’s a Bennett by marriage I presume. Many of us have wondered which side of the family Bonnie inherited her powers! About time for some answers.

  • Shelia Jean Disler via Facebook

    I love Damons endless humor! haha! SO cute!

    Damon: “We kissed, now it’s weird”
    Hilarious!… and those little snarky comments is exactly why I love Damon. Cutest little “pretend” hurt puppy look EVER.

    Elena really needs to decide if she wants Damon around, or does she want him to stay away.  If he leaves she wants to know where he was because her expectations are that he will always be her dependable “Rock of Gibraltar”,  if he is there for her, she wants him to leave. Wow!  Talk about sending out mixed signals to a guy.   

    Bonnie thinks her mom will have an answer in the attempt to open the sealed coffin.  Damon located Abbey for Bonnie.  Damon has a vested interest in defeating Klaus too.  He would really like to have his brother back alive, but Elena wants give him attitude because in reality she kissed him back.  OH, the tangled webs we weave!

  • http://twitter.com/momina95 Momina Amjad

    This is exactly where I wanted the Damon/Elena story to go- where he makes fun of Elena and creates awkward moments. Damon being Damon. Making things fun even when they look duller than ditch-water.  I’m glad the writers are not rushing this. Damon and Elena relationship looks so natural at the moment. I don’t ship them, I don’t ship anyone, really, but I sure do enjoy watching them together on my screen. 

  • eve

    Good lord is that a mug shot of Bonnie’s mom?  I’m glad that Damon is calling Elena out on the kiss.  She needs to deal with it.  I hope Damon is honest with Stefan and tells him too.  It’s not right that either of them keep that secret from Stefan especially since Damon is his brother.  

  • Addicted to TVD

    Classic Damon!!

  • Umii412

    Omg did I mention I freaking love this man Damon, he is so incredibly unbelievable and so funny can’t wait til next Thursday :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Eva-Nicieza/1047998154 Eva Nicieza via Facebook

    Hahahahaha. Damon’s revenge on Elena for letting him out of the road trip is hilarious. Besides, puppy face! Lol.

  • http://twitter.com/hgrogersTVD Heather Rogers

    hahahaha Damon: “We kissed now it’s weird. ” lol Loved it

  • KatAttack

    I busted out laughing when he told Bonnie they’d kissed. HILARIOUS. And Elena was like, oh crap.

  • anon

    I get your confusion, it does seem pretty unimaginable and awful to leave your kid and never even send them a letter or something, but my father did basically what Bonnie’s mom did and he’s had absolutely no contact with me ever, and Ive known many people with similar parent situations, so sadly this isn’t too unrealistic :(

    I wonder if there’s more behind Abby walking out, though. Knowing TVD there will have been some witchy, vampy twist that led her to deciding to leave.

    This brings up a question for me- Bonnie’s witch heritage comes from her mother’s side, right? And her grams was obviously a witch, so is grams Abby’s mother? If so, did she not know where Abby was this whole time or anything else about the situation?

  • http://twitter.com/Cmdl23 Caroline

    oh damon, you told bonnie… and elena was like speechless.. lol…

  • http://twitter.com/mirage14 jenna horan

    Love it! SO perfect.  Snarky Damon at his best.  but the puppy face, oh the puppy face … he must put that to go use in real life on a daily basis.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_E5S2Y7H2HJE3A5JXS6UBPX26CY Shannon

    Omg!! I’ve watched this clip 10 times and I’m still laughing about it. That was a jaw dropping moment. Damon’s all, “Well if I’m not going, i’m gonna make it more awkward, so u’ll think about me when i’m not there.”  Hahaha Damon how I love you so, I LOVED his 3 facial expressions in less then 1 minute. Serious look, pouty look, flirty look, hahaha Elena’s eyes were caught in his. I bet she’d still be looking in his eyes if Bonnie didn’t say anything. And his comment “Why, you mean hang in the back with you?” Hahaha, could he be more obvious, Elena better say she liked that kiss, and not try to deny it, or give some lame ass excuse, SHE NEEDS TO DEAL WITH IT! Delena’s situation is so natural right now I love it, I hope this isn’t the only scene we get from them next week. Since it looks like Elena is trying to avoid him. I think we should have 1 or 2 more scenes with them before the episode ends. I seriously can’t wait to see them in Dangerous Liaisons!!

    Errr… I think we just caught a glimpse of the old “end-of-season-one” Damon. Blatant, snarky, flirty, yet helpful. I mean, the “back seat” comment and the pouty face? Quite the old Damon and not at all how they’ve been for the past 11 episodes. Hell, make that the last 33 episodes. 
    The dynamic here is really different from the dynamic in the last scene we saw them in. Elena was gentle with him, and in this scene she was back to kind of stand-offish. Makes me wonder if this is not their first scene in the episode and before this she said something to hurt Damon or put him down/piss him off?
    God, this show is such a mindf*ck. 

  • KatAttack

    Good thought about him being a bit hurt. That would make sense.

    That was hreat

  • Laney

    I was just discussing this with a friend tonight. When Damon isn’t there she asks where he was and when he is there she pushes him away. I am not sure how you are feeling about their slow progression but I am not surprised that after the kiss this past episode took them a step back. I mean this is how the writers entire process has worked. Two steps forward, one step back. I have to say that if this is all we are going to get with Selena before she goes running back to Stefan I am going to be highly disappointed. Sorry for ranting on your thread GP, just realized I was doing it. Good things come to those who wait right?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Fiona-Floudas/100000255649662 Fiona Floudas via Facebook

    Sorry for above comment i accidentally pressed return! What I meant to say I liked his line “we kissed , now it’s weird’ the look on Elena’s face priceless. As if Damon was going to keep it a secret…

  • Anonymous

    I am glad Damon is calling Elena out regarding the kiss and how she feels about him.  Doing it in front of Bonnie was priceless.  

    I don’t expect Damon and Elena’s relationship to be easy or quick.  It is a constant push/pull situation.  Elena is still processing everything that has happened. Damon just simplifies it.  He kissed her and she kissed him back.

  • Anonymous

    I am sure that Abby is going to say something like she did it to protect Bonnie, I am just not going to believe it.  I think Bonnie has the second worst life/family situation on the show.  Matt has the worst, which is why I have the most compassion for these two character.

  • Jgarza

    toooo halarious!!!!…i can’t wait to see how the conversation will be brought up while roadtripping…and if Damon comes along, he will tell it like it is!!!!!

  • Jgarza

    This is the Damon that I love to see…..soooo sexxyy!!!!

  • Stephanie

    God I love Damon!!! Cant wait to see more LOL. I can just hear Bonnie trying to talk Elena out of her feelings for Damon. Elena. Elena better stand strong ;)

  • Jgarza

    Gosh, the looks on Elena’s face after Damon bluntly tell it like it is….PRICELESS!!!!!

  • Elclaws

    Gotta love Damon! It’s better that Bonnie knows though, it will be good for Elena to discuss this with a friend, even if they don’t approve-which I don’t think Bonnie does. But did you see how she immediately notices that something up, as soon as Damon enters the room Elena’s expression alerts her to this!

  • T-h_yourstruly

    I Hope THIS isn’t the only Delena scene in this episode!!

  • Uwoy

    What does it mean: I call shotgun?

  • Stevie1421

    It means he wants to ride in the front seat :)
