The M11 motorway is a 52-mile (88.5 km) motorway that runs north from the North Circular Road (A406) in South Woodford in northeast London to the A14, northwest of Cambridge, England. Originally proposed as early as 1915, various plans were considered throughout the 1960s, with final construction being undertaken between 1975 and 1980. The motorway was opened in stages, with the first stage (between Junctions 7 and 8) opening in June 1975, and the completed motorway becoming fully operational in February 1980. Running from South Woodford to Girton, the motorway provides direct access to Harlow, a large new town, as well as the city of Cambridge and since 2002, the motorway has greatly improved access to London Stansted Airport, the fourth busiest airport in the United Kingdom.

Route[edit]
The M11 starts in South Woodford in northeast London at Junction 4, with the North Circular (A406), it then heads NNE, passing east of Loughton and Theydon Bois as well as Epping Forest, meeting the M25 motorway at Junction 6, and then veering approximately north, passing to the east of Harlow. The M11 gives access to Bishop's Stortford and the motorway's only service station via Junction 8. This is followed immediately by the recently constructed Junction 8A, which provides a free-flow link to the improved A120 that links to Stansted Airport. The M11 then traverses part of Cambridgeshire, meeting a spur for the A11 at Junction 9, and then finally ends at Junction 14, the busy Girton Interchange, with the road continuing through the junction and becoming the A14, which continues the route on to Huntingdon and the north.
The motorway starts with two lanes southbound and three northbound; then, north of Woodford Bridge, both directions have three lanes, a layout that continues up to Junction 8A, except for a brief two-lane section at Junction 6, beneath the M25. From Junction 8 the motorway has two lanes in both directions all the way to Junction 14 where the motorway terminates. The motorway is illuminated at the southern terminus near Junction 4, at Junction 6 (the M25 interchange), and also at the approach to Junction 8/8A (Stansted Airport/Bishop's Stortford), and then at the northern terminus at Junction 14, for the A14. All four of these sections use modern high pressure sodium (SON) lighting. The older, yellow, low-pressure sodium (SOX) lighting originally used at junctions 4 and 6 was replaced in 2005. The numbering of the M11 junctions is unusual, as 1–3 are neither used nor shared with another road (see 'History' section). This means that southbound drivers reaching the end of the M11 have to use the A12 & A11 to reach central London.
History[edit]
Planning[edit]
The M11 north of Cambridge
Plans for an 'Eastern Avenue' in London had been proposed as early as 1915, and the Eastern Avenue Extension was causing local concern in Leyton and Hackney during the late 1950s and early 1960s.[1] It was opposed by a number of groups, including the Hackney Society[2] and local residents as represented by their member of parliament in 1962.[3]
By 1966,the Ministry of Transport was planning a longer road and for it to be partly motorway. The first version had a mid-south section, to follow a River Lea route, starting at Angel southwest of Dalston, heading northeast then north, taking land by the river in Walthamstow, Chingford and Waltham Cross, and meeting the built road alignment of today north of Harlow. The road from South Woodford to Islington would have been designated as the M12. The route was in planning stages with several options, with differences between the plans preferred by the Greater London Council and the Ministry of Transport[4] – a different version called for this 'Eastern Avenue' to run more east–west alongside the Regent's Canal and the north side of Victoria Park, Hackney Wick, where it would have connected to the North Cross and East Cross Routes at the northeast corner of an inner ringway identified by the London Ringways[n 1] plan.[4]
There were three proposed routes from the inner to outer ringway (North Circular) at the base of the current M11 and it is unclear which one was favoured.[4]
Under one scheme, south of South Woodford a connection would have been made with the western end of a proposed "M12" towards Colchester. These proposals also made the case for an M15 motorway for the Ringway 2, a major upgrade of the North Circular Road to typical motorway standard. When the southern end of the current M11 ended here, space was provided between the two carriageways to enable an offshoot of 'the M12' to merge from the southwest: junctions 1, 2 and 3 were reserved for this additional inner London section. Part of the unbuilt route of a southern section of the M11 is seen from a sliproad from the North Circular to the M11 which travels over a bridge over bare land.
It was announced in March 1975 that from Junction 8 (Bishops Stortford/Stansted exit) to the northern terminus, (thus including the Cambridge western bypass) would not be "constructed to M1 standard".[5] This was another way of stating that, following a change in government policy, this section would comprise two rather than three lanes in each direction.[5]
Additions[edit]
The M11 Link Road, or more formally 'A12 Hackney to M11 link road' (in fact leading to the North Circular) was constructed during the 1990s from Hackney Wick by Victoria Park to the Redbridge Roundabout—the Wanstead interchange of the North Circular—and was opened in 1999[n 2].[6] The route of this road, which followed a similar route to one of the initial proposals[4] resulted in the protracted M11 link road protest between 1993 and 1995, one of a spate of major UK road protests under the Major ministry.
Subsequent abortive/suspended proposals[edit]
Junction 5[edit]
An official plan to add north-facing connections at Junction 5 in Debden, Loughton was abandoned in 1998.[7]

The Highways Agency tabled proposals to upgrade the M11, between junction 6 and 8, from three lanes plus hard shoulder to four each way with an estimated cost of £698 million given in 2007.[8] A number of public consultations were made throughout 2007[9] and although efforts were made to limit environmental damage the scheme would cause disruption and loss of habitat to three designated ecological areas and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) at Gernon Bushes.[10]Maps of the proposal and previously discounted options were published by the Highways Agency. Plans were abandoned in March 2009 when the Secretary of State for Transport announced that no changes would be made to this section of motorway before 2021.[11]
Construction[edit]
The motorway was opened in stages. The stretch between Junctions 7 and 8 opened in 1975, and that between Junctions 4 and 7 in 1977.[n 3] The stretch from Junctions 8 to 9 opened in 1979; that between Junctions 9 and 14 in 1980; and the full length becoming fully operational in February 1980.[13][14]
Budgets were tight during the 1970s when the road was built, so the road surface was of unsurfaced concrete between Junction 14 and a point approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south of Junction 7. South of this stretch, where the road runs on soft ground close to the River Roding, concrete was considered unsuitable owing to the looseness of the subsoil and the consequent risk of random cracking, so the surface here was of tarmac from the start.
Services[edit]
The motorway's first, and only, service station, Birchanger Green Services at Junction 8, opened in 1996. The services also serve the A120, a major high-speed dual-carriageway road, running from Junction 8A to the eastern fringe of Braintree, it continues on to Colchester as a busy single-carriageway road.[15]
There had been plans for a service station on the motorway as long ago as 1969, named Chigwell, between that village and Loughton, which led to the construction of spur roads and a restricted lorry park; during the London Olympics 2012 these were used as a works unit.[16] The plans for a service station at this site were officially dropped in 1980.[17]
Operation[edit]
From the late 1990s onward, the concrete surface that had greatly degraded was progressively replaced with standard layers of tarmac, and drainage improvements were implemented at the same time. This work was completed in June 2008.
Junction 8A for the A120 road and Stansted Airport opened in December 2002.
Proposed developments[edit]
By way of complementary plans for proposed expansion of Stansted Airport, the Highways Agency collaborated with BAA on improvements to transport access to the airport[10] including two proposals for the M11, one of which has been deemed unnecessary, Junctions 6–8, see above and the other of which, including spur road and junction additions may be approved by the government if Stansted expansion takes place.[18]

Cost estimate
£131 million
A joint scheme involving works on junctions on the M11 and A120. This scheme was part of an aborted plan to add a second runway to Stansted Airport. It proposed changes to junction 8 of the M11 with the creation of junction 8B, linked to and situated just north of junction 8/8A and the creation of a new junction on the A120, to provide additional rapid access to the expanded airport.[19] The scheme was given an estimated cost of £131 million in May 2008.[20] Throughout 2007 a number of public consultations and exhibitions were held. Findings from these showed that although the public had several concerns regarding environmental impact 57% of attendees agreed the scheme would be necessary if the Stansted Airport expansion proceeded.[19] Following the public consultation, the Preferred Route was published on 5 March 2008 and the Draft Orders on 27 March 2008. A pre-public inquiry meeting took place on 10 November 2008[21] with a public inquiry due in April 2009.[22] However, this was delayed until further notice following BAA's appeal against the March 2009 ruling of the Competition Commission and the proposal lapsed when the application for a second runway was withdrawn by BAA in 2010.[23][24]
Incidents[edit]
Plane crash[edit]
In June 2002, a brake failure on an Aero L-39 Albatross landing at the Imperial War Museum's Duxford Aerodrome caused the plane to run off the end of the runway and down the embankment on to the motorway. The trainee pilot was killed when he ejected from ground level but the instructor survived the accident and no vehicles on the motorway were involved.[25] The main runway at Duxford had been shortened in 1977 from 6,000 feet (1,800 m) to 4,800 feet (1,500 m) when the motorway was built. More recently even though Duxford already met all licensing requirements, the declared length was reduced to 4,010 feet (1,220 m) to increase safety further than existing measures.[26][27]
Snow storm[edit]
In January 2003 thousands of motorists became stranded on "White Friday" for up to 20 hours between junctions 7 and 9 during a snowstorm.[28]

In popular culture[edit]
Life in the Fast Lane: The No M11 Story (1995) is a documentary film that recounts the inside story of the No M11 Campaign, recounting 15 months of direct action against one of the most controversial schemes in the history of British road-building.

1 "Hello Brother" Michael A. Allowitz Julie Plec & Kevin Williamson October 21, 2016 (2016-10-21) T27.13301 0.98[23]
A humanity-less Damon and Enzo are on a killing spree as per the vault monster's orders. Based on fresh leads, Stefan and Bonnie visit the slaughterhouse that Damon and Enzo now call home and try talking sense into them, but the duo are in no way even close to disobeying the vault monster. Alaric and his interns manage to delve deeper into the vault cave and discover ancient remains that have distinct Greek roots. Caroline has her hands full with finding clues and taking care of the kids along with the new nanny, Seline. On another side, Virginia St. John had escaped and gone straight for Seline. Caroline was right on time to save her kids, Seline and grill Virginia on spilling the beans about the vault monster but it was of no use, as Virginia bled to death. Bonnie was reminiscing about her and Enzo when she, along with Alaric, connected a similarity between a certain Greek story Enzo used to tell her and his current method of killing his victims. They all point towards Sirens or The Messengers of The Devil - a Greek myth according to which Fauns use mind control to lure their victims to their death. As the episode draws to a close, Damon and Enzo look on as the vault monster rises from the death pool with death gleaming in her eyes.

Damon meets Stefan at the carnival where he is knocked out by Caroline. Stefan puts Damon in his coffin to hide until they can defeat the sirens. When Georgie's remain are discovered, the Armory is left alone and Sybil escapes, taking the tuning fork with her and then frees Damon from the coffin, who has decided not to feel and fully submit to her.

Stefan uses the predicament to speak to Sybil through Enzo to try and find Josette and Elizabeth. Damon, Sybil, Seline, Josette and Elizabeth arrive at a motel where they use magic to summon Cade. Sybil tells Stefan where she is on the condition he comes alone and promises him an offer he cannot refuse. At the motel, Cade is at first interested in Seline's offer to have the twins become his slaves in about a decade or so until Sybil gives Cade her own offer of the Salvatore brothers instead. Stefan tells Caroline that he offered up his soul and that he was granted twenty-four more hours to be with her.

7 "The Next Time I Hurt Somebody, It Could Be You" Tanya Hamilton Shukree Hassan Tilghman December 9, 2016 (2016-12-09) T27.13307 0.98[29]
On the night of Christmas Eve 1917, the ripper Stefan drinks blood from a camp full of people. In the present, Stefan is determined to make the most out of his final day with Caroline over a Christmas Eve dinner. Unfortunately, Damon and Sybil crash the party and Damon stakes Stefan sending him to a meeting with Cade. Cade reveals that on that Christmas Eve a century ago, Seline had witnessed the murder Stefan inflicted on the camp of people and wanted to trade places with him, only to realize he wasn't evil and she erased his memory of their meeting and his slaughter of the camp. However, Cade had decided way back then that Stefan was a perfect servant for him. Meanwhile, distraught over the ruined Christmas festivities, Caroline gives Damon a present that could alter his decision to kill someone that night. Bonnie and Enzo find Seline and ask her for the tuning fork to which she agrees to give them on the condition that she can remove the psychic powers she had planted inside of Josette and Elizabeth, hoping to redeem herself and not go to hell when she dies. When Damon and Sybil leave the party, Damon gives her Caroline's present, not having known what it was. When he sees it is Elena's old necklace, he rips out Sybil's heart and leaves her to die. Stefan proposes a deal to Cade to turn off his humanity, so that he can feed Cade souls more rapidly in exchange for Cade shortening his contract to serving him for only a year as opposed to eternity. Cade agrees to the deal but makes it apparent that he doubts Stefan will want to leave him after serving him for a year. Caroline spends her last few hours with her daughters before Alaric takes them away to be safe and it is discovered that Bonnie and the twins also all receive splitting headaches when the tuning fork is used around them. In the end, Damon and Stefan drive out of Mystic Falls and Stefan turns off his humanity.

8 "We Have History Together" Ian Somerhalder Matthew D'Ambrosio January 13, 2017 (2017-01-13) T27.13308 0.95[30]
Stefan decides that he wants Tara, a young doctor, to be Cade's next meal. In his plot to find the darkness within her, he knocks up Damon on vervain and keeps him on bed rest in the hospital. Stefan learns that Tara's parents were killed by a drunk driver and compels her into believing that Damon was the driver in an attempt to convince her to kill Damon. She eventually gives into her darkness so Stefan takes her to be fed on by Cade. Meanwhile in Mystic Falls, Caroline's job sends her to her old high school where she discovers Sybil has used her siren ability to get herself a job as a teacher. Sybil uses her powers to make the class tie themselves to trees with one remaining student to set them ablaze unless Caroline retrieves an old bell for her for a mysterious reason. Matt is annoyed with his father for having abandon him and even more so when he discovers that he is the one that got rid of the bell by throwing it in the lake under Wickery Bridge, which is revealed to be because Matt's family actually founded the town and made the bell, but it was taken over by the founding family. It is then revealed that the bell was discovered in 2009, after Elena's parents' car went into the lake and is now in Caroline's garage; Caroline and Sybil go to retrieve it but Seline had taken it, leaving a note for Sybil to taunt her. Damon can't seem to rid himself of Elena's necklace, even going after it after throwing it out the car window, showing that he has enough humanity to care about Elena. Sybil also creates doubt inside of Caroline about Stefan coming back from his ripper phase when his contract with Cade is up and even if he does, he could become a ripper again at any time.

9 "The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch" Geoff Shotz Neil Reynolds & Penny Cox January 20, 2017 (2017-01-20) T27.13309 0.86[31]
Damon has the bell striker so Sybil makes him return to Mystic Falls to give it to her. While Damon does return, he realizes he can tell Sybil no and ultimately denies her the striker and locks her up. Meanwhile Stefan turns Violet into vampire during the Miss Mystic Falls pageant and Caroline comforts her after returning her engagement ring to Stefan. Also, Seline is determined to assemble the bell herself and reveals it can kill sirens and that she wants to kill Sybil as a part of righting her past misdeeds and she teams up with Dorian to do so. Elsewhere, Enzo gives a vial of his blood to Bonnie in the form of a necklace, hoping she'll become a vampire to be with him for eternity. However, with her life tied to Elena's she is unsure of how it would affect her. In the end, Bonnie suggests that Enzo take the cure and Sybil, chained up by Damon, uses her powers to return Damon's humanity to him, flooding him with guilt from his recent actions under the siren's control.
165
10 "Nostalgia's a Bitch" Kellie Cyrus Brett Matthews January 27, 2017 (2017-01-27) T27.13310 0.94[32]
Sybil has put Damon into a catatonic state, forcing Bonnie and Caroline to free her so that she will release him in exchange for the bell. However, Sybil realizes Damon's mind is in an induced hellish state, put there by himself because of his guilt. Bonnie and Caroline go into his subconscious to speak with Damon and tell him they forgive him for everything. Meanwhile Stefan kills Violet and reveals that Cade is requiring more souls so he makes a deal to acquire the bell for Sybil so that Damon will be conscious again and do his share of killing. Afterward, Seline offers another deal, which involves Matt ringing the bell twelve times in order to release hell on earth and kill everyone in Mystic Falls. Stefan compels Matt into doing so and then goes to retrieve Damon after being told that the Damon's need for forgiveness is about him. Once inside Damon's head, Stefan realizes Damon needs to forgive Stefan for turning him into a vampire all those years ago, causing every terrible thing that has happened since. Damon wakes up and Stefan is chained and told by Caroline that she loves him and she will do whatever it takes to restore his humanity. Damon stops Matt at the eleventh ring, which stops hell from burning the town, but allows enough power for Cade to come to the real world. In the final scene, Cade meets Sybil and Seline at a diner, where after telling the sirens that he'll take it from there, lights them on fire.

Bonnie encourages Enzo to complete his bucket list before taking the cure; once complete, they travel to a house she bought in New York where she is secretly keeping Elena. Caroline and Damon scheme to give the cure to Cade so that they can kill him and Bonnie reluctantly agrees to draw Elena's blood and give them the dosage instead of Enzo. Cade later reveals that his mission for Stefan was also to kill a hundred people or Elena. Stefan chose the latter and so Damon races to New York to stop him. Stefan compels Bonnie's realtor to sign the house over to herself and then invite him in so that he can get to Elena. Bonnie draws the blood from Elena and then gives it to Stefan after Stefan arrives at the house and kills Enzo.

12 "What Are You?" Darren Genet Chad Fiveash & James Stoteraux February 10, 2017 (2017-02-10) T27.13312 1.11[34]
Stefan is arrested following his transition back into a human. Caroline manages to compel the police of his innocence but it doesn't erase the guilt inside of him. Bonnie is devastated about Enzo's death and her mother, Abby, comes to her house to console her. The two discover that Enzo is trying to communicate with Bonnie and that when he died, Bonnie opened the door between hell and earth. She tries to pull Enzo from hell but Abby ultimately burns his body, knowing that he would just drag Bonnie down with him. Cade tells Damon that their contract is up because of Stefan no longer being a vampire and tells Damon that he will claim Stefan's soul to take to hell at midnight if Damon doesn't retrieve the Maxwell journal. Matt, Alaric, and Dorian attempt to discover why the journal is important and Matt sees events from 1790 where his ancestor Ethan and Bonnie's ancestor Beatrice created the Maxwell bell and then encountered Seline and Sybil. The sirens forced Ethan to ring the bell twelve times and send hellfire to the town and he killed one hundred people. Beatrice trapped Seline and Sybil in the vault and Ethan wrote how to kill Cade in the Maxwell journal. In the present, Damon takes the journal and gives it to Cade, who burns it. Damon later tells Alaric that he is certain a certain artifact they have is how to kill the devil, having heard Sybil say it once. In the last scene, Damon and Alaric make plans to kill Cade and then Kai mysteriously walks in and says he has a better idea.

It is revealed that when Matt rang the bell eleven times and Cade came to Mystic Falls, Kai was able to as well, but only halfway, so he enlists Damon and Alaric's help to bring him back fully in exchange for him waking up Elena. Matt and Caroline learn that everyone Stefan ever compelled are now remembering things they've forgotten. This includes Dorian, who abducts Stefan and explains that he now recalls Stefan murdering his family back when Stefan was being forced to work for Klaus. Dorian shoots Stefan, but then regrets it and tries to get him to a hospital. Cade comes to Stefan during an out of body state as a result of him dying and tells Stefan that Caroline would be better off without him. In the hospital, Stefan breaks up with Caroline and tells her that he is leaving Mystic Falls. Bonnie finds out that she has psychic powers and tries to contact Enzo. She does with Cade's help and learns that like when Cade created hell, she created a place where Enzo's spirit now resides. Alaric brings the girls to see Caroline and tells her that they have lost control of their powers. Cade learns Kai escaped from hell and Damon tries to convince him that he can only be fully redeemed and saved from Cade if he brings back Elena. They go to her casket where Kai stabs Damon, tells him that he doesn't believe in redemption, and escapes with Elena while Damon falls to the floor, desiccating.

Enzo encourages Bonnie to forgive Stefan. Kai gives Elena to Cade and Cade keeps Damon from dying so as to use him to get the dagger that can kill the devil and deliver it to him in exchange for Elena. Damon keeps Stefan from leaving when telling him that Cade has Elena; they go after Kai, who has the dagger, and get it from him as well as abducting him and trapping him in the Armory. Caroline goes to Kai for help with the twins' uncontrollable siphoning to which Kai reveals that the Armory causes an outburst of witch siphoning powers and then uses that power to escape and go after the girls. Alaric rings the Maxwell bell to weaken Cade while Stefan goes to kill the devil; however, Kai calls him and reveals his intentions to kill the twins and so Alaric must deal with that and since he isn't ringing the bell, Cade overpowers Stefan. Eventually, Alaric and Caroline defeat Kai and then Alaric reveals that he wants the two of them to run a school for kids like Josie and Elizabeth. Damon meets Cade and Stefan in the cave and Cade tries to force him to choose between the deaths of Elena or Stefan. Damon ends up choosing himself; he kills himself but is rescued by Bonnie who fights Cade for his soul. While Cade and Bonnie's psychic powers are battling, Stefan uses the dagger on Cade and kills him. A psychic blast from Cade's death sends Damon's soul back into his body; Bonnie makes it clear that she hasn't forgiven Stefan but he tells her that he won't give up on her forgiveness. Stefan also re-proposes to Caroline and she accepts. Bonnie traps Kai in another prison world and he tells her that when Cade died, the person given power over hell was Katherine; Bonnie relays this information to Damon.

Teleplay by : Melinda Hsu Taylor March 3, 2017 (2017-03-03) T27.13315 1.14[37]
Matt's mother, Kelly returns to Mystic Falls claiming to want to be there for Matt, but it is soon revealed that she is working with Katherine and had been after having died two years ago. Damon concocts a plan to lure out Katherine by throwing the last minute wedding of Stefan and Caroline. Damon and Stefan also construct a dagger made from Katherine's bones to kill her. Bonnie tells Caroline she can't be at the wedding of the man who killed Enzo, but Enzo encourages her to go for her best friend. At the wedding, Kelly slits Peter's throat after a failed attempt to get the dagger from him. Everyone expects Katherine to interrupt the ceremony, but she doesn't, so Stefan and Caroline say their vows and actually get married. During the reception, Bonnie goes with the twins to the Lockwood house; Kelly interrupts Damon's speech and reveals that the Lockwood house is going to catch fire because she started a gas leak. The fire starts with Bonnie and the girls in the house. However, Josie and Elizabeth are able to siphon Bonnie's magic to save them and they all use their power to escape with Bonnie having to lose her connection to Enzo in the process. In the end, Kelly reveals that Katherine's plan was to distract them with the housefire while a now resurrected Vicki Donovan has returned and begins ringing the Maxwell bell to bring hellfire to Mystic Falls; as the bell rings, Bonnie falls to the ground, nose bleeding, and presumably dying.

16 "I Was Feeling Epic" Julie Plec Julie Plec & Kevin Williamson March 10, 2017 (2017-03-10) T27.13316 1.15[38]
As Stefan and Caroline attempt to revive Bonnie, Bonnie enters the state between life and death and sees Elena. Enzo comes and tells Bonnie that it isn't her time and she returns to her body. Katherine finally reveals herself to the Salvatore brothers and even though Stefan stabs her with the dagger made from her bones, she comes back to Damon later, revealing that she can leave hell whenever she wants and that Cade had been under her control since her death. Vicki reveals that she wants to die from the hellfire so as not to return to hell, where she has been residing in a miserable existence. Vicki will ring the bell every five minutes until the end of the hour. Matt and the police evacuate the town. Alaric, Caroline, and the twins leave Mystic Falls when Bonnie comes up with a plan to use her magic to reverse the hellfire back into hell, destroying it and Katherine. Damon stays with Katherine in the tunnels under the Armory to make sure she is in hell when Bonnie does this; Stefan comes forward to sacrifice himself instead, and Damon refuses, telling his brother he lov e him before compelling him to leave. However, Stefan is able to override the compulsion because he had vervain in his system and then hurries back into the tunnels, where he injects a syringe filled with his blood into Damon, making him human and then dies while making sure Katherine is in hell while her body is destroyed. Stefan visits Elena in the state between life and death, tells her what happened, and then joins Lexi in the afterlife. Some time later, Bonnie breaks Elena's sleeping curse and Elena reunites with her, Damon, Caroline, Matt and Alaric. The Salvatore boarding house is turned into a school for supernatural children by Caroline and Alaric with Jeremy and Dorian among the people running it and a donation from Klaus. Matt is awarded with a bench in his honour for saving the town that night and announces that he’ll run for Mayor. Bonnie decides that she wants to travel the world and live her spared life to the fullest. Vicki, Tyler, Liz, Jo, and Enzo are shown watching over the living. After having lived their long and happy life together, Elena reunites with her parents, John, and Jenna in her form of Peace at the Gilbert family home, while Damon reunites with Stefan at the Salvatore mansion, concluding the series.
