Elena is back in “While You Were Sleeping,” but she’s not quite herself. Like Damon, she’s infected with the Ripper virus, which makes her crave vampire blood in a bad way. Unlike Damon, however, her strain of the virus has a kick of hybrid venom, making it lethal if untreated. Hallucinations and accusations ensue. Elena is losing her mind and Damon is determined to help her. The biggest source of her distress? The nagging belief (thanks to her own guilt-fueled hallucinations) that she killed Aaron. When Damon finally admits that he was the one who killed Andrew, they argue, they fight, they say their relationship is over and then… well, you can guess what happens next. It’s Delena, after all.
So Delena are back on (in a physical sense), but swearing up and down that their relationship is toxic and doomed and needs to end when they try to bring the logic. This is, of course, the beauty of the Damon/Elena dynamic. They are toxic. They are bad for each other. They are probably doomed.
But then, they’re also so hot. So electric. So right.
I’m prepared for some heartbreak next week. They said they’re off. They’re acting like they’re on. Who knows what’s going to happen next? Who knows what the talk after the winkwinkeyebrowraiseknowingsmirk will bring? But for now, for the rest of this glorious week, Delena are together. And here’s why they should stay that way, as told by GIFs and hopeful shipper fandom.
