“No matter how many times the road forks, it keeps leading me back to you. I’ll never lose my way again. And fate forged a new path to you. Our missing piece. I won’t break your heart with more loss." -Elena to Zuri & Marisol

“Enduring the pain of missing you to avoid the pain of missing you… has not exactly worked out as I expected. I accept you… as you are… for as long as you are.” -Elena to Zuri

Why didn't she just compel all of her vampires in the first place? Also, how could she forgot to ask WHAT they did to her to keep her from healing?!! Now that they know how effective it is, I'm sure they'll try it again.

And Marisol's reaction, I can understand based on the kind of person she is, but Elena was always upfront about what would happen to anyone who hurt them, so what did she expect?

They're so focused on WHO betrayed her, but no one is wondering WHAT was used to stop Elena's ability to heal herself & since there's only ONE person with the power to heal her, they should be trying to figure that out!

I love the concept that only females have the ability to create new vampires! It's definitely not something I've heard before.

"She didn’t understand why men who couldn’t give birth in their first life would find it so hard to believe they couldn’t do it in their second. Becoming vampires only enhanced what was already there. Vampire procreation wasn’t so far from human childbirth to be incomprehensible." -Elena

I never realized that Elena never really asks Marisol any personal questions or tries to get to her, until she pointed it out.

Not sure I trust Sophia... Also, Elena said she wasn't going to let them out of her sight, but it's the first thing she does!

There are so many great quotes here:

"Sex as a woman, especially a queer woman, is practically a revolutionary act." -Zuri

"If women woke up all at once, if they realized the true extent of their power, the world would crumble at their feet. They would bring empires to their knees, shatter the chains of equity and remake the world in their image." -Elena

I really hope her daughters didn't betray her. It would devastate Elena & disappoint me.
