This missing scene begins sometime after the end of Season 5, Episode 12, The Devil Inside and/or Episode 13, Total Eclipse of the Heart…

"Bonnie?" the Anchor heard from behind her.

Bonnie turned around to see Elena standing there. "Elena?"

Bonnie was with Jeremy, trying to make sure he was OK after his ordeal with Enzo. She was alone with him now, but was not surprised that Elena would come back to check on her bother. However, when she saw the doppelganger, she was confused. Elena looked different.

"Where's Damon?" Elena asked. Bonnie thought the doppelganger looked confused as well.

The Anchor scowled briefly. "Not here thankfully, he's been such a ..." She cut herself off and looked more carefully at her best friend. Elena had the look of someone that was supposed to pass through her in her role as anchor to the other side. "Elena, are you OK? Where were…"

Elena shook her head when Bonnie didn't finish. "Damon found me. I was fighting Katherine, but I got through, and Damon was there, hugging me, then…"

Elena closed her eyes and shuddered before continuing. "Then I was here."

Bonnie could only stare as she got a sick feeling. Damon hadn't been with Elena for some time.

"You were fighting Katherine?" Bonnie managed to ask.

Realization hit Elena. "Oh god! Does this mean she…? …No No No!"

Bonnie felt herself choking up. This was too much. Jeremy had nearly died, Damon – whom she had come to trust – had turned out to be…

"I can't die…I can't." Elena was saying.

Bonnie didn't know what to say. She could only stand there, stare, and shake her head.

"Katherine has my body. She'll be telling everyone that she died, that she's me."

"She already has," Bonnie said, finding she was feeling even worse than she had before.

"What can we do?" Elena was desperate. "You're not going to…"

"I don't know," Bonnie said answering Elena's first questions while backing away to answer her second one. She wasn't sure it was possible to accidentally pull in her best friend, but she didn't want to take the chance.

"And the first thing she'll do send Damon away," Elena continued, "and go after Stefan. He's what she's always wanted…"

Bonnie could only watch as Elena cut herself off again. "It's what Damon's afraid of and what Stefan wants." She looked directly into Bonnie's eyes. "Bonnie?"

"She already has," Bonnie repeated. "And Damon..."

The Anchor cut herself off, not wanting to say anymore to Elena. She was starting to understand what was happening.

"Damon what?" Elena asked.

"Damon tried to get back together with you, but Katherine already said no. He didn't take it well."

Elena grimaced and turned away from Bonnie in frustration. "Damon was right about her. She's a bitch to the very end!"

"He's always right," Elena muttered as she seemed to take a breath and turn back to Bonnie. "We can't let her get away with this…"

Only then did Elena seem to notice Jeremy lying on a couch that he had placed on - Bonnie thought by Elena, but apparently not.

The doppelganger ran to her bother. "Jeremy!" Elena tried to touch him, but found that her hand only went through him. She turned back to the Anchor, anger on her face. "Who did this?"

"Enzo. He and Damon are kind of…" she managed to cut herself off.

"What can we do? We have to do something."

"We'll do something. Just, don't get too close to me. I'm not sure if…"

"OK, I get it." Elena said, standing and starting to back away. "But I will be back to check on Jeremy. See what you can figure out before then."

"I'll get right on it," Bonnie called to Elena's retreating figure. "Where are you going?"

"To find Damon. To find a way kiss him...or to clobber him for being such an idiot thinking that I don't want him..or both

"He won't be able to see you."

Elena turned back. "I'll see him. Eventually, you'll tell him what's really going on, and then he'll figure something out to keep me alive.'' She turned away again. "That's what he does…"

Seriously, is Damon the only one that has TV Elena's back? Obviously…

I'm annoyed. I can deal with the plot as far as Damon is concerned, and the new witch is interesting. I do hope they do something more with her. But what they've done with Elena is nearly intolerable. And the fact that they had a full episode without her appearing in one form or another is making it worse.

I know that things like TV are a matter of taste, and people get to choose if they like them or not. I myself have started watching a number of shows and given up on them for one reason or another. Others I have followed to the (sometimes bitter) end, like Buffy and Charmed.

TVD is one I thought I could follow to the end. I just might, I can be a fool for hoping for a forbidden love and all. But not if Elena does not show up again pretty soon. I will certainly give up this little story until there is a Delena missing scene to post. I do have a life, and if the TV people can't see what I want, I can go other places and do other things – like continue work on my in-process stories: The Change, Centrum Permanebit, and maybe even finish Elena and the Pledge. Oh yeah, and I still like tax and Jolene (not in that order). All of these are more appealing than the show right now...
