Whether you're a "Delena" fan or not, there's no denying that there was some serious passion behind that kiss they shared at the motel last season, so when she chose Stefan in a life-or-death moment in the season finale, we were a bit surprised. That said, now that Elena is about to complete her transition into being a vampire, there's a new side to her -- one that only Damon can truly understand.

Elena is captured, so she spends most of the episode apart from Damon -- but he is the recipient of her first angry, vamped-out snarl. In the second episode, she realizes that while she's getting used to her affliction, there are some things she just can't ask Stefan for, and for those things, she turns to Damon.

The way Damon sees Elena being led into this, it doesn't make any sense. There's a huge downfall that he sees, which is that if she does not experience first hand this bloodlust, there's no way in hell she's going to be able to control it. She's not going to know what she's up against."

Don't worry. Just because she chose Stefan as a human doesn't mean the tension between her and Damon will evaporate. After all, her emotions are heightened now. All her emotions.
