When Enzo brings Damon a gruesome present and insists that they bond by committing an act of revenge, Damon makes an effort to do the honorable thing. After finding himself in awkward and confusing conversations with Nadia, Matt impulsively decides to throw a party, where Caroline makes a stunning confession to Elena (Katherine), then has to face the consequence of her actions with Stefan and Tyler. Aaron does his best to make amends for his family's past misdeeds and start a new life for himself. Finally, Elena suddenly finds herself in a life-threatening situation with only minutes to figure out how to save herself.

Some storylines are not complete until we watch the whole series. I disagree with Katherine saying to Damon that Elena is the only reason he is a good person. Now let’s look at Katherine: did she become a better person by loving Stefan? The answer is NO. Damon has to have good in him to save the people he loves, while Katherine thinks of herself almost always. Katherine said those things to Damon to hurt him deeply, as she did in season 2.

The killing of Aaron surely is a bad thing from Damon to have done but is actually something else far deeper. EVERYBODY has done terrible things, and Damon to be honest compare to other is the kitty cat of the situation. I need to remind you that Damon had a terrible father that despise him, because he was a rebel, wouldn’t conform to conventions, regarding who he should date, how he should behave, what he should believe, joining a war from the wrong side of history, he never agreed with, but he did anyway to please his father. Since he was human he always shown a straight back bone, defiance and strong morals against injustice and unjustified unkindness, especially coming from the very person that should have love him, his very own father, the one that killed his sons without blinking. There is so much more to understand on Damon character, but we will have to wait until season 7. From the very beginning Damon has been a good person, in dare circumstance, having to navigate alone against the harsh coldness of his unloving father, the condition his own brother forced him into, became a vampire and be alone, what Katherine put him through, making him believe, she cared for him, use him and crushed him at any given occasion, this one included, because Damon is easy to be taken advantage off, he has a soft heart and the one close to him knows that about him and took advantage of it one way or another. His own other side of his family, he generously permitted to live in his house, sold him to the Augustine to be torture for 5 years, with immeasurable consequences on his life. Witches took advantage of him, the one in New Orleans that wanted more power, and Emily that made him swore to protect her family has he did, and then went back on her part of the bargain. Lexi that threat him with contempt and kept him away from his brother. Through all on this darkens, Damon lived to find a little light of goodness, searching for someone that showed him a bit of love and compassion, even with his humanity off he was resilient, he kept focussed on his love for Katherine and all he got in return was nastiness and abuse. But Damon kept the inner Damon profoundly honest, he doesn’t lie, never badmouthed his brother and always helped him when he had problems with Elena, with Klaus, with his blood control; took upon himself the hatred of Bonnie and her mother, for turning her into a vampire, doing it instead of Stefan, not to have his little brother to be take the hate. He is deeply loyal to anybody that showed him a little compassion. Alaric, Liz, Bonnie even Caroline that hates him, because mainly she is projecting her feelings for Klaus on him because she did the same with him invited a bad boy she barely knew in her house to have sex. Damon is constant reminder of the side of herself she isn't in control of, her care free side, that is in conflict with her judgemental 'Little miss perfect" control freak side she has. Damon isn’t good because of Elena, he is good because he is good, and he has so many reasons for having rage issues let alone the fact that are amplified by being a vampire. While the others are behaving badly because of revenge, selfishness, because of convenience, Damon react to hurt with rage against the injustice in his life. Elena know he is a good person otherwise she would have never fall in love with him, her compassion can see his pain and her love put a light in his very dark life, that is dark, not because he is dark but because he is force against his will to endure darkness and since he came back to Mystic Falls he has tried so hard to built a close loving family with everybody. Our little group of Stefan, Caroline, Bonnie, Jeremy, Matt, Tyler, Liz, Alaric and when she was alive Carol, rotate around two people Elena and Damon’s and their capacity for love and loyalty. So Aaron killing is bad, but Aaron to Damon’s eyes represent his trauma, his rage, his abuse, his being considered a monster even if he isn’t, and Enzo presence isn’t helping, he is a reminder of the promise he couldn’t maintain, of all the years he was tortured, of all he had to endure with his humanity off for almost 50 years. 50 years is long time, and everything he had to deal with after he came back from it, he never burden anybody with it. So, sorry to disagree but Damon isn’t good because of Elena, is Elena that loves him because he is fundamentally good. But he is been called bad all his life, he knows that it's true, he knows that Elena is the only person that could see through all the abuse, the pain and the façade he put up to defend himself. That is why he was so confused when Elena/Katherine told him what she did, Elena would have never doubted his capacity for goodness. So in Damon’s mind if even Elena is reinforcing the concept that he is a monster not worth loving, then what is the point of living, let’s kill Damon and give them the monster they see. With the killing of Aaron, Damon is cutting bridges, he is going back to the darkness that has surround him all his life, he so hardly fought against to protect himself from and he just let go and give in. By killing Aaron he is actually killing his true self, he just surrendered to the fight against darkness, he has nothing to hope for. So sad.

This a lot of words just to basically explain away all of Damon’s flaws and justify his terrible behavior. I love the character, but we can’t pretend like all of his actions are all justified, him being an imperfect flawed character is what makes him great. He doesn’t need a 10 paragraph explanation defending him.

TVD was not written in the TikTok manner but rather with dense topics. There are several layers within a scene. Patpet disagrees with what Katherine said to Damon and why Damon killed Aaron, not that she agree that killing Aaron was a good thing for Damon to do.

@♆ (person with no name) Sorry you misunderstood my post. I am not defending his action by searching for lengthy explanations, I am explaining the complexity of the way a character is written in this show, where EVERY action, reaction, word said are consistent with the established character psychological profile according with traumas and happenings in the specific character life. The writers are so good and very proficient in psychology at the point that once they established the profile, they make the character behaving accordingly. And the behaviour is very real, that how a real person would behave given all the condition, the traumas, the circumstances they put the characters through. To understand what is going on, we, as audience, are supposed to connect the dots and the dots get more and more in number and complexity the more the show progresses, the writers are given for granted that we are an intelligent audience. So I have to do a recap from time to time, to the rector that his approaching the show for the first time and given the complexity of the show, I understand how difficult could be to remember everything. So I do a bit of a reminder to let him be the best he can in his reaction and have a clear picture of what is going on and why. But while he is justified in is inability to connect the enormous number of piece of the puzzle, being a fist timer, anybody else that have seen the show multiple times and still haven't connect the dots, it is to wonder why is that so, what are the lacking in place that prevent anybody to put all the pieces together, to fully understand the TVD characters that are as close to complexity to a real life person as a written character could be. I don't do shallow, bias, charcter hatred things kids do, so boring, I do objective analyses on the characters profile and complexity according to what the writers wrote.

To plea in favour of Tyler. Nobody liked the way he choose revenge over Caroline. Many characters have done the same mistake and it wasn't a good choice and had never good consequences. But to all of them I must say that Tyler had the most reasons to feel the way he felt and to his eyes he had no choice. Klaus, killed his friend aunt Jenna, transformed him in an Hybrid sired to him, forced him to break his sire bond by breaking his bones thousand times, he killed his pack and to on top of that he killed his mom. I don't think Tyler wanted to killed Hayley child, he more wanted to worn her and the others on what he though Klaus was up to, that wasn't true, but I can blame him for thinking so. So even on that he got totally humiliated by Klaus, Now he learns that his ex, the girl he cared for had sex with Klaus and he learn it in the most horrible way in front of everybody. And he gets even a punch from Stefan. I mean poor Tyler.

I really think people are missing your point AND Katherine's point. It's not about " Only Elena makes him a good person" She does, & I also think Stefan has helped with that lately but it's the fact that he lashes out and do dumb things when they argue and break up. There is no explanation that will excuse the childishness of him not having a full handle on his emotions. I hope there is a day when people can judge Damon's actions without trying to create a full analysis sympathizing with them. It's ok to say that he is wrong lol

You would lash out too given the same circumstances of Damon's childhood, what happened to him as human and as vampire. The characters here are not shallow they act accordingly to what happen to them in their life and the reactions are very real they are consistent with their psychological traumas. So Damon behaviour is not a random childish dumb behaviour but the result of what happened to him in his life. We are supposed to feel compassion for such a tragic life, unless you have some personal reasons not to feel compassion but in that case is your personal issue.

You can understand and feel compassion for what happened to him over 170 years ago while also not excusing his actions. Two things can be true at once.

Just to make people understand what I am talking about when I am talking, in this case of Damon's character, this is a typical psychological correlation between anger and trauma summarised: "One way of thinking is that high levels of anger are related to a natural survival instinct. When faced with extreme threat, people often respond with anger. Anger can help a person survive by shifting his or her focus. The person focuses all of his or her attention, thought, and action toward survival. Anger is also a common response to events that seem unfair or in which you have been made a victim. Research shows that anger can be especially common if you have been betrayed by others. This may be most often seen in cases of trauma that involve exploitation or violence. (Well that's Damon's life) The trauma and shock of *********** (I cut this part because is a spoiler but we all know season 7) often affects how well the survivor learns to control his or her emotions. Problems in this area lead to frequent outbursts of extreme emotions, including anger and rage". This is the perfect matching picture of Damon's psychological profile, plus imagine this and multiply it as Vampires feel more intensely and you get Damon framed precisely. The writers know what their are doing and are extremely proficient in psychology. Stefan and Damon especially are so perfectly nailed, their action, reactions, motivations match to perfection, is consistent to what they are supposed to act, react and be motivated by, according to what they wrote happened in their life. I've never seen anything like that in any other show so far. The point is this show has tons of layers, tons, so it's up to you to get out of it what you want or what you can, you might just stay on the surface and get only the entertainment part, the romance, the bad and good brother, the ships, the taking sites etc. reducing this show to just a stupid teen drama, and we know that is not, But also what a pity missing all the rest, that is so interesting, mind provoking, so emotionally engaging, so humanly relatable and some characters are written so well that they provoke some psychological response due to projection, or triggering something that is personal and feels to real for confort. Damon gets a lots of hate because he is a victim, but doesn't act submissively, so predators hate him, he is a man as men should be, non emasculated, so certain narcissists ladies hate him, he is confident in his body, in his sexuality, he is sassy, cheeky, so prudes or people that for some reasons don't like man to be sexually confident, hate him, etc. Because of Damon complexity, it is the most interesting character I've ever came across not only in itself but on the reactions it provokes in certain people.

It is not a matter of finding excuses, it's a matter of understanding WHY he act the way he does and find compassion for someone that endured what he did. The action per se is bad but the world is not black and white good or bad, there are circumstances in which if we would be in we might've act even worse. So because this is a vampire show and not a nun and priest show what should be applied is not judgement according to normal standards but understanding of what is going on and how this tell us something about us. You cannot possibly say that Damon compared to anybody else is bad, can you? So what is with the wanting so badly to judge him negatively, it's a vampire show if vampire acted like saints wouldn't be a vampire show and Damon has his very VERY good reasons to lash out, reasons other characters don't have.

The Salvatore brothers are once again being used as playthings by Katherine Pierce. This woman is just awful and so selfish that it is almost unbearable. Damon and the break-up scene are heartbreaking. I wish Elena could have heard what he said. But it was only Katherine and she shattered his heart with her words. You have to imagine that he believes that the one person who has always believed in him, who he trusts, who he loves so much and who doesn't believe that he is a monster has just looked him in the eye and told him that he is a monster. Katherine destroys him once again. That was the final nail in his coffin and it pained me to see how much he suffers. I wasn't surprised that he killed Aaron. He had to prove to himself and everyone else that he was the monster everyone thought he was. But why should he think he is anything but a monster. Everyone around him keeps saying how bad he is and if you keep being told that, you'll eventually believe it yourself. Damon did everything he could to bring Bonnie back from the other side and no one thanked him except Elena. How sad is that. I confess that I thought the last scene was really cool. The music, the lighting, Damon and Enzo as a deadly couple. That was badass.

Klaus and Caroline hooking up was basically just fanservice lol
