Interviewer: Was there a debate in the writer's room as to whether she would choose Stefan or Damon in this episode, or did you always agree that it would be Stefan?
Julie Plec: We were heading toward the end of the road knowing that as a human, Stefan was Elena's choice. We also knew what was going to happen at the end of the episode. Elena is no longer a human when she wakes up and when the memories come back and when her whole life goes upside-down. Who's to say what that does to her? Who's to say what kind of person she becomes, and how that impacts who she loves and why she loves them? I'm not saying that's going to send her running instantly into Damon's arms, absolutely not, but it's going to cloud the issue even more.

Damon and Elena

Katherine Pierce
Adventurous by nature
Two brothers rapped around her finger
Hunger to kill, drink and ruin peoples lives
Exhilarating plans that leave us wanting more
Really? Katherine’s back? We all know who the salvatores will choose though
Identical of Elena Gilbert by looks
NO sympathy to what she has done to Damon and Stefan
Evil BAD-ASS b***h
Plays by ‘no’ rules
Innocent little Katherine Pierce…NOT!
Extremely selfish in every way possible
Ripped two brothers apart
Compelling to watch
Excitement going through her when she knows she’s fooled everyone!

I could kick myself. Why the hell had I done it? Like the stupid thing was any use to me anyway. Of course I knew why I had done it: boredom and a source of entertainment. These two things were precisely the reason why I had done many of the things I had done in my 1000 years of existence.
Now I was running from werewolves. You could say I was on their "most wanted list" which was definitely not a good thing. Werewolves hunted in packs and are a very loyal species. It was impossible to know how much of them were after me. Of course I was no stranger to being on the run which is why I never really had any real relationships. Before this…well that was a very long story indeed…
