“They are here. Get to the cellar if you want to live”. Rewatching this it’s weird noticing that phoenix stone sort of told Damon that Bonnie was trying to resurrect him.

This is my favourite episode of the entire show, for so many reasons. First of all, they must have spent so much money to recreate the war time, so well, the entire set, the way it was shoot, fantastic!! It should have won multiple awards, just only for that. Then the writing. Considering we are in Damon’s psyche, it is funny to see how he thinks others think of him, like that conversation with Caroline. Or how the conversation with Julian telling him what he felt inside the stone, without telling the details of it because Damon doesn’t know the details. Or how he smell petrol, important details to remember for the next episode....Also I must mention the acting, Ian here was just superb, he said that this episode kicked his ass, he lost lots of weight and took so much of him, and you can tell. It is current Damon looking at Damon then, how seriously he took his parenting role with Stefan, that write him a letter like the child he was, telling him he feels heartbroken for Valery, how he feels lonely without his supportive and tender care to ease him into sleep. He write that to a brother that is at war, in the middle of death, horror and mutilations, risking his life only to please his father, and without asking “Brother are you well and still alive?” he pours his anxiety on Damon that immediately respond with concern, like a loving parent would. Those two kids, did have any parenting from the people that should have give them love, so they had to rely to each other for love, care and affection, and Damon being the oldest and the most aware of what was going on in their household, took upon himself the role of being the one, caring, loving, and protecting his younger brother. But in the process he lost his childhood, and grow up with the feeling nobody loves him, and if that was so, it must have been because he wasn’t worth of love. Damon, until Elena proved him wrong, the entire season one, two and three is the one straggling with the concept he is worth of love and still does, deep inside, that was the fear the Phinix Stone picked up to torture him, that is why at the word to his mother were “give me a chance to let you love me” were is crushing point, the pain he carried all his life buried inside, the hole in is heart, him giving in to the concept that his mother love wasn't given, but was earned and HE didn’t do enough to make her love him, and the child inside him he is still convinced that he was the cause for her not to love him enough to protect him from abuse, to abandon him faking her death and never come back to save him, to reject him once he got her out from the prison world and choosing over and over again herself and random others over him, while his adult self is full of rage for how much damage she cause to him. That is Damon personal hell, having to live his life knowing that the people he loved the most that should have loved him, didn’t, trauma reinforced by Katherine that used Damon vulnerability, and desperate need for love, and for someone that cared for him, against him, to manipulate him. Damon basically was crushed by the first woman he loved, his mom and by the second woman he loved. No wonder Damon is closed in a hard shell and doesn’t like to show vulnerability and his inner broken self to anybody, because in his head, he is conditioned to think he is the only one he has to protect himself from hurt. He had Elena but even that was taken from him, by his mother. Knowing this about him, if you rewatch the past seasons, Damon makes so much more sense, the character back story and his motivations, add a new dept to his personality and actions, how he clinged onto the idea of getting Katherine back, for 145 year, his only chance to be loved and how would hit you differently the episodes when Katherine tells him she never loved him, her knowing his back story how much more cruel that sentence is, and when Elena, not knowing his back story, tells him the same too, watching his reaction of desperation and rage, how that scene is so much more impactfull, or when he gives Elena her necklaces, and tell her he loves her but doesn’t deserve her, his brother does and compelled her to forget while crying, or when he cried for Rose death, because he saw himself in her lost life spent to barely survive not having a full life, filled with what is important in life, love and a caring family. Or the scene when Elena finally tells him that she loves him, and he looks up at the sky, those scenes are so much more charged with meanings. How much the brothers love each other as well, because since childhood the only thing they had to rely on when it comes to unconditional love was each other, that explain why Stefan is co-dependent from Damon and why Stefan is Damon’s priority, above love, friendship and himself. How fantastically those characters are written, especially Damon, is beyond me, it floors me every time, how every single action, reaction, conversation, emotion expressed in every episode is so beautifully intertwined, linked and consistant with everything else, it's mind buggling; the extent they went into the care for details and for characters dept it's unparallel, never seen anything quite like it ever again in any other show, at least so far, and this episode is a television masterpiece.

Your comment touched my heart. It is my favorite episode of TVD because it makes Damon’s past behavior understandable, impactful, and heartbreaking.

Damon was home when Katherine first arrived, but he was supposed to go back to the war and decided not to because of Katherine. That might be the scene you’re remembering of Damon in his uniform talking to Stefan and Katherine.

I really REALLY felt for Damon in this episode. Watching him express his complicated feelings towards Lily hit a little too close to home. My grandad was a lot like Lily, we lost him just over a month ago and that pain that comes with losing a parent and knowing you’ll never be able to fully make peace is all too real, I’ve seen it in my mum and her siblings.

Unrelated to the reaction, but Harry your hair looks so good!

This part is a bit unclear, but from all the flashbacks and the memories and the conversations, this is what it's implied. Damon joined the war sometimes in the first part of 1863, well before the Gettysburg Battle (happened July 3rd), he manage to avoid thanks to Oscar compelling him to take sick leave saving his life. He already wanted to desert because he didn't agreed with the south cause, the Salvatore business was in owning Logging Mills, they didn't have plantetions, but was afraid to shame his father. He had already got the name of "hero soldier" so it is implied that he as been at war for some times. So we suppose, the event of this episode with Henry happened around July/August 1964, and he did manage to go home, perhaps taking back the dead bodies of the soldiers, without reveiling what happen to the host family. In the mean time Katherine arrived, met Stefan while Damon was still at war, and met Damon soon after, while he was on leave, that he said it was extened. But then he had to go back, as he remember during the allucinations he had following the Tyler bite. So he left briefly but decided to desert once and for all just before the first Loockhood Founders Ball held on September 24th 1864. That is the events cronology from all the seasons bits and pieces of information put together.

Ahhh that makes sense! I’m also pretty sure we saw Henry in an earlier episode of the show but I can never be certain

Out of several favorite episodes, “Hell is Other People” comes on top for me. The storyline, cinematography, and psychological aspects are astonishing. I loved that I got to see what was inside Damon’s head. As Patpet mentioned, this episode makes the earlier seasons more understandable regarding Damon’s behavior —for example, scenes from episodes 7 and 11 from season 1. Season 1, Episode 7: the night Vicky dies at the school Halloween party. Elena is standing by Vicki’s corpse, and Damon shows up to deal with the body. The fandom underrated that scene by only concentrating on the romance instead of what was happening in that scene. Although Elena reprimands Damon for what happened to Vicki, Damon tells her that he doesn't care, but does he? The moment Damon sees Elena beside Vicki’s body, he can't look her directly in the eyes because he knows Elena is a compassionate person. Compassion is something that Katherine doesn't have for humans and vampires, something that Damon is well aware of as he tells Elena that Katherine was unkind and selfish in episode 3 of season 1. Now, why would Damon care about kindness? Look at Damon's fear when Giuseppe asks who took the money, and out of concern for Stefan, Damon takes the blame, telling his father that it was him who took the money, which results in a cigar burn by his father. That action comes from someone who loves and cares deeply. So, therefore, Elena’s genuine compassion is something that Damon craves and resonates with him. Damon, who professes not to care about anyone, pretends he will attack Elena after she slaps him, but Elena stands her ground. She doesn't run away even though she knows he is a vampire, but unlike Elena, Lily doesn't stand up for her children against Giuseppe. What kind of monster was Giuseppe? Well, in season 5, Damon compares his father's brutality almost closely to the serial killer known as the “Son of Sam” in New York City in 1977, who was known for his brutality. Seeing Elena’s humanity and bravery is why Damon helped her to compel Jeremy that night. It was the first time Damon helped someone from Mystic Falls besides his brother. In episode 11, Elena pleads with Lexi's boyfriend to spare Damon's life when they visit Bree’s bar in Georgia. Imagine Damon seeing Elena imploring for his life; saving his life must have been inconceivable for Damon after all of his previous experiences with his parents, the Civil War, the Augustine Society, Katherine, and himself, thinking he was not worthy of anything or anyone. Even after Lily has the upper hand against Giuseppe, she doesn't come back to help Damon against his father, but Elena, who is a 17-year-old human, saves his life against a vampire. Still, there are TVD fans who claim that Damon fell in love with Elena because she looks like Katherine‼️ Other fans believe Bonnie was a better choice for Damon because she held him accountable, but Bonnie was not compassionate in the earlier seasons with Damon. It is no wonder why Damon fell in love with Elena since she was the first human who treated him like he mattered. What happened between Damon and Elena is not solely a romance. He fell in love with Elena because of who she is. Love and romance are not the same thing. Romance is a form of fantasy. Love is an act of service, which is something that Damon and Elena did for each other. Realism and Damon are synonymous. In the 3rd and 14th episodes, Damon mentions the word real to Elena, and it makes sense that Damon would fall in love with Elena for who she is and not a fantasy created in his head. He broke up with her in season 5, episode 10, because he didn't want to change Elena into something she was not. Damon Salvatore: “Give me a chance to let you love me.” I won't lie; that scene was painful, and it broke something in me because even after everything that happened to Damon, he still craves to be loved. Damon, without love, would not exist. Love and realism are integral parts of Damon’s personality.
