Julie Plec Talks Last Night’s Episode

Julie Plec talked with Zap2it about everything that went down in last night’s amazing episode of The Vampire Diaries.
She also gives us a little snippet for next week’s episode.

Check it all out here.
Below is an excerpt:

It’s definitely alarming for fans who have been waiting to see Damon and Elena get together for them to finally hook up, but have it be intercut with evidence that her feelings for him might not be genuine. Is there still hope that her feelings for him are real?

Without taking sides one way or the other, just looking at it objectively from our point of view as storytellers, there is more hope than ever for them. It’s just combined with a lot of very deep questions. Damon is a character who, his whole life — as a vampire and as a human — was looking for love and acceptance, and for someone to finally say, “Hey, you’re good enough.” He finally gets that from Elena, and now he has to question it. He wants to believe it’s real. She truly believes it’s real. But there’s that nagging doubt, as to how much of it is true love and how much is the effects of a sire bond. It’s a question that’s going to take these two people who do care about each other so deeply, and just put the tiniest bit of an obstacle in their path. They have to figure out how to get around it.
