00:00Bad time to be a martyr, Stefan.
00:02Said the martyr.
00:04I'm gonna let you two figure this out amongst yourselves.
00:07Welcome to Miss Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most shocking,
00:11frustrating, infuriating, and heartbreaking moments from The Vampire Diaries.
00:15Consider this your spoiler warning.
00:18I'm sorry.
00:19No! No!
00:24Number 10. Stefan kills Enzo.
00:26You made a choice to be good.
00:28Bonnie had seemingly found the love of her life in Enzo,
00:31all for Stefan to literally rip her man's heart out,
00:34and figuratively rip out hers.
00:36This transpires during a romantic day for the couple,
00:38a day that's supposed to be Enzo's last day of immortality.
00:42Maybe you need more time to live your vampire life to its fullest.
00:45Nothing I could do as a vampire would be better than being with you, as a human.
00:49The plan was for him to take the cure for vampirism to become human again.
00:53But in this brutal scene, everyone's favorite witch,
00:56Elena's best friend,
00:57and overall super-likable character in The Vampire Diaries,
01:00loses a chance at lifelong love.
01:03Oh, look at me!
01:04What do you care what happens to Elena, huh?
01:07In a minute, you're gonna be dead anyway.
01:09What makes this violent, callous moment even more painful for Bonnie,
01:13and the audience,
01:14is the history of friendship between Stefan and Bonnie.
01:17Her heartbroken scream says it all.
01:20Enzo!
01:269. Catherine turns Caroline
01:28The Return
01:29When Caroline wakes up in the hospital,
01:31having previously suffered a serious injury,
01:33she locks eyes with a familiar face.
01:40Elena?
01:41But it's not Elena.
01:43It's Catherine,
01:44who turned the Salvatore brothers years and years prior.
01:48With Damon's vampire blood in Caroline's system,
01:50death at this point would mean that she would turn into a vampire.
01:53And of course,
01:54the ferocious Catherine decides to suffocate her with a pillow.
01:58What makes this moment devastating for the audience
02:00is a combination of things.
02:02Not only does Caroline lose her mortal life,
02:04and the town gains another vampire,
02:05but Catherine's horrifying message
02:07tells us that she has plenty of damage left to inflict on mystic fools.
02:12What are you talking about?
02:14What message?
02:19Game on.
02:208. Klaus turns off Stefan's humanity
02:22The Reckoning
02:23You will do exactly as I say when I say it.
02:27You will not run. You will not hide.
02:30You will simply just obey.
02:34A vampire who wants to live a human life.
02:36That's Stefan Salvatore,
02:38particularly in the beginning of the Vampire Diaries series.
02:41And what's more human than falling in love?
02:43Stefan's desire to be with Elena and be a good individual
02:47endears him to the audience,
02:48even after learning the unfortunate nature of his past.
02:51So when Klaus tries to take away Stefan's decency
02:54by compelling him to turn off his humanity
02:56in the third season of the show,
02:58it's tough to watch.
03:03Stefan.
03:07Now kill them.
03:09Ripper.
03:10The flip of this switch basically entails turning good into evil.
03:13Not only that, Klaus prompts Stefan to drink Elena's blood.
03:1820 minutes.
03:20If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then,
03:22I want you to feed again.
03:23And this time, I want you to feed on Elena.
03:27The cruelty of this moment is just too much.
03:33Bonnie is no stranger to using her witch powers
03:35to get out of precarious situations.
03:37I will make the blood clot in your veins.
03:41I will make every bone, muscle and joint in your body turn to stone.
03:47However, she reaches a point where her magic cannot defeat natural law.
03:50Intent of bringing Jeremy back from the dead,
03:52she unleashes all the witch power she has
03:54against her grandma's wishes.
03:56I have every magic.
03:58I have the spirits.
04:01That's much less than an animal.
04:03Stop it.
04:04I have expression.
04:06She succeeds in bringing Jeremy back to life,
04:08but the cost is heartbreaking.
04:10Her collapse is a shocking moment.
04:12And when we confirm what we suspected,
04:14as the afterlife version of Bonnie
04:16comes to the realisation of her fate,
04:17it's a real gut punch.
04:19I'm sorry, Bonnie.
04:22The spell,
04:24it was just too much.
04:29Viewers wouldn't forget the emotional jolt of this scene quickly.
04:33I'm dead.
04:356. Damon Kills Lexi
04:37162 Candles
04:39Lexi Branson quickly became a likeable character
04:41in the first season of The Vampire Diaries,
04:43bringing a fresh dynamic to the show.
04:47Lexi?
04:50Hi.
04:51What are you doing here?
04:52How could you even ask that?
04:55I missed you.
04:56An older vampire who has history with the Salvatore brothers,
04:59Lexi is a longtime friend to Stefan,
05:02and a thoughtful, witty and outgoing character.
05:04But just as we're getting to know her,
05:06Damon ruthlessly stakes her to death.
05:08This makes us feel for her, obviously.
05:10But also, Stefan.
05:12Why?
05:13It's part of the plan.
05:17Knowing their friendship,
05:19and given her personable nature displayed in her brief appearance,
05:22Lexi seemed to have the potential
05:24to become an awesome staple character in the series.
05:26But that dream is short-lived.
05:28Stefan.
05:30Stefan.
05:31He killed her.
05:33He killed Zach.
05:34He killed Tanner.
05:35He turned Vicky.
05:37I have to kill him.
05:385. Elena Dies in a Car Accident
05:41The Departed
05:42It still makes us shudder to think about the season 3 finale.
05:45My brothers and I are going to survive.
05:47We need to get rid of Alaric.
05:48I'm the only way to get rid of Alaric.
05:52Rebecca, no.
05:53Elena and Matt are forced to drive off a bridge by Rebecca.
05:56This event includes flashbacks to when Stefan saved Elena
05:59under similar circumstances years earlier.
06:02But this time, Elena insistently motions for Stefan to save Matt.
06:05It's shocking to see Stefan do just that,
06:08while his lover, Elena, dies.
06:155. Elena Drowns
06:25This scene is even more heart-wrenching than another goodbye Elena moment
06:28when she's put under a spell to remain in a coma.
06:31I can't wait to find out what new life you've chosen for yourself
06:34in 60 or 70 years when I see you again.
06:38When she's later brought back to life by vampire blood,
06:40it's hard to not be in disbelief as a viewer while watching Elena drown.
06:454. Damon Kills Jeremy
06:47The Return
06:48What do you think I'm doing?
06:49I think that you're hurt.
06:50No, I don't get hurt, Elena.
06:53No, you don't admit that you get hurt.
06:55You get angry and cover it up and then you do something stupid.
06:58Just when we thought Damon might let his humanity shine, he does this.
07:02After demanding the truth from Catherine in the season 2 premiere,
07:05she responds with a brutal confession.
07:07The truth is...
07:10I've never loved you.
07:11When both Catherine and Elena reject him and choose Stefan,
07:14he frustratingly reverts to his violent, inhumane ways by snapping Jeremy's neck,
07:19doing what he suspected would turn Jeremy into a vampire.
07:22Although Jeremy later comes back to human life,
07:25in this specific moment we see Damon take a step back
07:28when he'd seemingly been turning a corner.
07:30It's disheartening and vexing.
07:32It's Catherine.
07:34She got under his skin. She undid everything that was good about him.
07:37There's nothing good about him.
07:38Number 3. John Gilbert loses his fingers.
07:41Founders Day.
07:42Catherine's arrival in Mystic Falls means instant issues.
07:51You scared me.
07:52I'm sorry.
07:53When Elena's doppelganger aggressively slices through John Gilbert's fingers,
07:57removing his resurrection ring in the process.
08:00We couldn't help but gasp.
08:02This OMG moment from the season 1 finale is graphic.
08:09Catherine.
08:12Hello, John. Goodbye, John.
08:14Catherine has received plenty of build-up throughout the season,
08:17and she makes a memorable statement.
08:19But maybe above all else, this means that Damon's game-changing kiss,
08:23with who he and the audience members presumed was Elena,
08:26was actually Catherine.
08:28But again, it's the moment when Catherine severs John's fingers
08:31that reveals the twist.
08:33Can I help?
08:38It's her.
08:40Number 2. Klaus kills Jenna.
08:43The sun also rises.
08:45Let her go.
08:46I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't.
08:49Careful.
08:50Elena, don't.
08:51No, Jenna, we can't leave Jeremy without a family.
08:54In a savage effort to break the hybrid curse
08:56so that he can bring out his werewolf side,
08:58Klaus organizes a ritual.
09:00Unfortunately for Elena's aunt Jenna,
09:02she gets dragged into it and winds up dead.
09:05Just turn it off.
09:07Jenna, turn it off.
09:11You won't be scared anymore.
09:15Another moment within the same scene that makes viewers say,
09:17No!
09:19is when Elijah, who was supposed to kill his evil brother,
09:22goes back on his word.
09:23But Jenna's death is just too painful.
09:25Jenna!
09:31No, Jenna.
09:34To see Elena lose another family member
09:36when she had already lost her parents
09:38and in such traumatic fashion was gut-wrenching.
09:41Before we unveil our top pick,
09:43here are a few honorable mentions.
09:45Elena burns down her house.
09:47Stand by me.
09:48It's tough to watch Elena turn off her humanity.
09:50What if one day when this is all over,
09:54you want to come home again?
10:00I won't.
10:04Damon makes Elena forget he loves her.
10:06Rose.
10:07It's a tearjerker to see Damon express his feelings,
10:10only to then erase the moment.
10:12God, we shouldn't have to forget this.
10:18But you do.
10:24Klaus almost finds Elena.
10:26The end of the affair.
10:28It's a real scare when Stefan seemingly reveals
10:30Elena's location to Klaus.
10:33Look what I found.
10:391918.

11:02No, he's not.
11:04And neither am I.
11:05The story of the Salvatore brothers
11:07comes to a heartbreaking end.
11:09Stefan's visit to Elena in an afterlife transitional state
11:12consists of a heartfelt conversation,
11:14teary-eyed faces,
11:15and a flashback to Stefan's heroic sacrifice to save Damon,
11:19Elena, their friends,
11:20and Mystic Falls as a whole.
11:22I gave him my blood.
11:25The cure.
11:26You what?
11:27Without the cure, I'd start to age.
11:30I'd be dead soon enough.
11:31It gets even more moving
11:32when you consider the fact that Damon
11:34tried to sacrifice himself instead.
11:36For anyone who wanted Elena to end up with Stefan instead of Damon,
11:39that hope is shattered.
11:42It's good to see you, Elena.
11:47One last time.
11:48This emotional scene,
11:49and the death of a beloved character in the series finale,
11:52is a tough pill to swallow.
