Anna has a scene where she says, I dont know whats going to happen to me.
They say my mom found peace but I dont even know if peace exists.
Thats when all of this locked in for me, Plec tells EW.
If Cades hell exists then shouldnt peace exist for everyone?
Hello, brother.
Its full circle, Williamson says.
Stefans sacrifice
Stefan wasnt always going to die.
He killed Enzo; theres no coming back from that, Williamson says.
As a Ripper, how many people did he kill?
He turned his brother into a vampire and stripped him of his humanity.
How is he going to make up for that?
He had to be heroic.
And this show has always been about the two of them and their love and their sense of family.
And now Damons going to be worthy of Elena.
And I said, There is no choice, unfortunately.
When Elena left, a promise was made that Elena and Damon would be reunited.
Williamson adds: Its no secret I was always a fan of Stefan and Elena ending up together.
We couldnt get them back together.
Its all about who is the better man, Williamson says.
And being the better man means you wake up every morning and you just do better.
Its an ongoing struggle.
We have her to thank for that.
And when I read it and I saw however long it takes, I just about died.
Picking her words carefully, Plec says, Theyre open with a hope, not a promise.
Thats what the light looks like.
Thats the meaning I chose to give it.
