The Departed is the twenty-second and final episode of the third season of The Vampire Diaries and the sixty-sixth episode of the series overall.
THE SECRET HERO — Determined to protect his sister, Jeremy makes a decision that will change everything. In the harsh reality of the present situation, Elena longs for the simpler times in her life when her parents Grayson and Miranda and Aunt Jenna were still alive and her biggest concern was her relationship with Matt. Stefan and Damon leave Myst...
Elena sleeps and dreams of sophomore but awakens in the hospital. Meredith tells Jeremy it's just a concussion, but Jeremy calls Stefan and Damon anyway, who get mad she's in the hospital because they feel the remaining originals (Rebekah, Kol, Elijah) will be trying to kill her to kill Alaric. Elijah shows up at Elena's house and she makes a deal with him to give him Klaus' body as long as he and his siblings don't harm her or her family in the near future. Jeremy, who was plotting with Matt to get everyone else out of the house so Matt could take Elena out of town, tries to lead Alaric into a trap. But Alaric has other sources, and ends up at the storage facility where Damon hid Klaus' body.
Alaric stakes Klaus' body with the magically reinforced White Oak Stake, leaving everyone to believe Klaus died. Thus, everyone gets all worried they are going to die too because Klaus told Damon and Stefan he created their bloodline. Meanwhile, Damon calls Stefan, convinced that they are about to make their 'epic goodbye'. Stefan expresses regret that Damon can't reach Mystic Falls, so he can say goodbye to Elena. At that moment Jeremy reveals his plan to ferry his sister away, which is met by surprised looks. Matt, who has driven Elena a little bit out of town says he can keep driving her to Damon or turn back and bring her to Stefan. She calls Damon and tells him she's going back, not just for Stefan, but also for Caroline and Tyler. Damon asks if it was just between him and Stefan, who would get the goodbye. Elena tells him: "I love him, Damon. He came into my life at a time when I needed someone and I fell for him instantly. No matter what I feel for you, I never unfell for him." Heartbroken, Damon says goodbye, as Alaric returns.
The Enhanced Original beats his former friend badly, and taunts him with not fighting back. Damon replies that he's kind of invincible, and Alaric denies their friendship. For a second, Damon passes out, and his mind flashbacks to a time when he met Elena, for the first time, before Stefan. Coming back to reality, Alaric prepares to kill Damon, once and for all. But charged by his love for Elena, miraculously, Damon manages to hold back the stake Ric tries to slam down into his heart, and throws him off. They start engaging in a vicious battle.
Caroline, meanwhile, rushes to Tyler, whom we know is of Klaus' bloodline. They kiss, embrace, then Tyler tells her to leave; he doesn't want her to watch him die. Caroline resists so Tyler starts to turn in to a werewolf and she runs. Rebekah and Elijah are talking, amazed that Stefan, Damon and Caroline are alive. They said they weren't the ones, nor was Kol to create their bloodline; they were sure it was Klaus. And that's possibly true. Klaus is still alive.
Bonnie did a spell that has him living in Tyler's body. It's unclear what this means for Tyler, but it's assumed that he's still alive somehow too because Bonnie wouldn't knowingly kill him. Bonnie said she saved Klaus to save her friends and her mom.
Since she believes Klaus is dead, Rebekah tells Stefan that the deal is off; she's tired of running. Rebekah wants to kill Elena so Alaric dies.
