The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 16, “While You Were Sleeping,” aired tonight and we saw so much Delena it was amazing. Check out our recap of the episode and tell us what you thought!
Delena: The Vampire Diet
-Bonnie, Caroline and Matt are partying at a bar with Elena, who’s dancing on the bar.
-Then Elena asks them, when would she ever dance on a bar? She says she’s Katherine. Oh, and it’s a dream!
-In reality, Elena wakes up in her dorm – but the entire building is empty.
-Stefan had Elena trapped in the building with a boundary spell, and starts talking to Elena to catch up.
-Elena doesn’t remember anything from the moment she hugged Katherine until now.
-She wants to talk to Damon, aww.
-Jeremy brings Damon some blood to help him survive, but he’s enjoying Damon’s pain a little too much.
-Matt is with Jeremy, and he asks if Damon told Elena about Aaron yet. He says no, but he plans on telling her.
-Elena and Damon start talking on the phone, and Elena wants to fight for Damon. He says he wants to give her the most mind blowing night of her life once they get cured. Oh, Delena, so fine.
-Caroline is looking for a cure at Dr. Wes’ lab, when Enzo shows up.
-Enzo claims that he has the antidote.
-Stefan comes to drop off a new phone and some blood to Elena, when she claims she’s fine. He bites his own wrist, and she goes cray cray over the smell of his hot hunk blood.
Travelers Are Everywhere
-Caroline calls Stefan and explains that Dr. Wes made the virus lethal, but she knows where to get the cure. She can’t give it to them, so Stefan has to come meet them because the travelers don’t want any witches knowing about what’s going on.
-Elena asks Stefan if anything happened between them when Katherine was in her body, and he tells her about the kiss.
-Meanwhile, Liv starts bragging about the barrier spell she performed. So Bonnie tells her to set some salt on fire, and she can’t. Faaaail.
-Elena starts reading her diary, in which Katherine wrote all over. She starts imagining false memories of Katherine/Elena making out with Stefan. The werewolf venom is at work!
-In the dream, Damon walks in and starts making fun of Stefan for falling for it.
-Back in reality, Elena’s nose is bleeding.
-Caroline and Stefan meet Enzo at an abandoned train yard for the cure, and they get surrounded by travelers.
-Sloan, the head traveler, is with them. When Enzo paired with Dr. Wes, Wes found an antidote. The travelers took it, and they think they can come up with one for Elena’s virus. But they need another doppleganger.
Mystic Falls’ First Gay Teen!
-Elena calls Damon, asking him to distract her. He tells her about Caroline and Klaus, oohlala.
-He can’t bear to tell Elena about Aaron just yet, and hangs up when Matt comes in with his blood.
-Enzo says that the last remaining pair of dopplegangers are special, and the travelers need their blood.
-Apparently there’s another Stefan doppleganger running around and they need to kill him to make sure Stefan and Elena are the last dopplegangers. The travelers want to link him to the mystery guy.
-Elena starts hallucinating about Aaron.
-Somehow in Elena’s hallucination, Aaron appears all bloody and she realizes that he’s dead. Shee asks if she killed him, and starts freaking out.
-Luke is at college, and helps Elena up from the floor. His boyfriend dumped him on spring break, and says that he and Elena met at the Bitter Ball. He knows all about her and Stefan as well.
-Elena was going to turn Luke into a vampire when she sees fang marks on Luke’s neck. Apparently Katherine has been feeding on him, so she compels him to find Bonnie and Liv.
Elena Pulls a Damon
-Elena calls Damon again, and starts freaking out. He’s stuck in the Salvatore basement, though.
-But he asks Matt for his help, and gets him into a headlock and takes off his magic ring. He tries to leverage Jeremy to let him out and help Elena.
-Enzo gets the antidote and runs to give it to Damon and Elena while Stefan and Caroline stay there so the travelers can link them.
-Meanwhile, Elena starts burning all of her things in the fireplace to get rid of anything Katherine touched.
-Bonnie and Liv show up, and Elena demands they let the the barrier down. They don’t do it, so she stabs Liv in the stomach with a pole. Unless they lower the barrier and get Elena’s blood in her system, she’s going to die.
Confession Time
-Turns out Stefan’s doppleganger is a paramedic in Atlanta.
-Even though they know what city he’s in, the travelers won’t stop and Caroline is worried they are going to kill Stefan.
-Caroline threatens Sloan with a knife, saying there’s a way they can all get what they want.
-Elena is still hallucinating and roaming the streets when she sees Aaron again.
-She comes out of the hallucination, and Damon is there instead. He tries to comfort her, and she thinks she killed Aaron.
-That’s when Damon reveals he killed Aaron instead. He tries to explain himself to Elena, and she can’t say anything.
-But then Enzo shows up with the antidote!
Luke: Hot, Gay, Single, and Evil
-Stefan wakes up, and he’s fine! Caroline explains that she volunteered to help Enzo kill his doppleganger.
-Stefan wants to come with them, but the travelers need to use him to keep track of the doppleganger.
-He doesn’t trust Enzo, and neither does Caroline. But she promises she’ll be safe.
-Bonnie understand if Liv doesn’t want to be a part of this, but Liv says it’s okay and she wants her to teach her.
-Liv walks into her dorm, where Luke (her brother?!) is waiting. Luke was on vervain, and he knows about Bonnie being the anchor. Turns out Liv was faking being a newb the entire time.
-Damon and Elena start arguing about how toxic their relationship is. Elena tells Damon that he screwed up, which is what he wanted to hear.
-But Elena can’t stop loving him, and Damon thinks they don’t work.
-They mutually come to an agreement to end their relationship.
-But instead of walking away, they make out and have sex.
