You Decided That I Was Worth Saving

You Decided That I Was Worth Saving is the third episode of the eighth season of The Vampire Diaries and the one hundred and fifty-eighth episode of the series overall.
==Summary==
BONNIE'S CHOICE — As Enzo continues to fight the control over him, Bonnie finds herself at the center of a deadly game and forced to make a heart wrenching decision involving two of the most important people in her life. At the Armory, Alaric researches a mysterious artifact that he hopes will help in their fight to get Damon and Enzo back. Finally, Damon's downward spiral leads him to Tyler who attempts to talk some sense into him before it's too late. Stefan and Caroline also appear.
==Plot==
Sybil continues altering Damon's memories. The memory of the car accident in which Miranda and Grayson died, now Elena Gilbert also died that day. Sybil also realizes that Bonnie is important to both Damon and Enzo, so she tasks Damon with killing her.
Meanwhile, Bonnie plans to help Caroline with buying a wedding dress and the wedding. While they're at the store, Damon attacks them, but they manage to neutralize him for a while by stabbing him in the stomach. Sybil then decides to alter some of Damon's memories of Bonnie so than he wouldn't care about her.
Elsewhere, Alaric shows Stefan the fork, but they're unsure how and if it'll work on Sybil. Later Georgie tells her theory of the fork being devil's pitchfork, but Alaric's not convinced. While the twins are playing with the fork, it fell to the ground and the twins were hurt by the sound.
Meanwhile, Damon calls Stefan to tell him try to save him as quickly as possible. Sybil pays a visit to Caroline and Bonnie and reveals her plan: she had forced Damon and Enzo to fight to the death and asks Bonnie to choose between them. Stefan meets with Damon who reveals Enzo's unconscious body in the trunk. Sybil, Bonnie and Caroline go to Sybil's Lair to see the fight which starts at 3 o'clock. Sybil taunts Bonnie about how Stefan's presence is actually going to give Damon the upper hand because he will choose him over Enzo. Bonnie pressed the brakes and Sybil's thrown out of the windshield. Caroline and Bonnie drive to the fight.
The fight starts with Stefan trying to stop the both of them. Caroline also arrives, but Damon and Enzo snap Caroline and Stefan's necks. Bonnie also unsuccessfully tries to stop the fight and Sybil asks her to choose. Just as Damon is about to kill Enzo, she chooses Enzo. Realizing that Bonnie and Enzo are both a burden, she says that she plans on killing them unless Enzo pledges loyalty to her and turn off his humanity. He does, but Sybil forces Damon to attacks Bonnie anyway. Alaric arrives and hits Damon with his car. When Sybil tries to attack him, Alaric uses the fork to inflict pain while Stefan snaps Enzo's neck. Georgie sees all of this from afar.
They take Sybil to The Armory, while Bonnie takes Enzo to his cabin. Later that night, Damon runs into Tyler on the road. Sybil uses mind control and forces him to kill Tyler.

:Bonnie: (to Caroline) "Planning a June Wedding."
:Caroline: "Yes! The June Wedding!"
:Damon: "Looks like litter brother is getting married. Consider this my R.S.V.P." 
:Sybil: "Do me a favor and kill Bonnie Bennett."
:Damon: "Neck Snap... Heart Rip... Or just good ol' fashion tear your throat out." 
:Caroline: "Do you think we can get away with not inviting Damon to the wedding?"
:Bonnie: "He's going to be your brother-in-law."
:Caroline: "Fine. He's not sitting at the head table."

:Georgie: "There's nothing in the historical records about a weapon like this."
:Alaric Saltzman: "Please tell me there's a but..."
:Georgie: "But I have a theory, Okay... so... assuming that the symbol etched into it has a connection to hell, what's the first thing you think of when you think of hell?"
:Georgie: "The Devil, right, and what's the most common visual representation of the Devil?"
:Alaric Saltzman: "Ah... ah, a man in a red suit. Pointy tail... with a... pitchfork."
:Georgie: "Ding. Ding. Ding. Okay, in the medieval tradition the pitchfork symbolized the separation of the wheat from chaff which is obviously a metaphor for good souls going to Heaven and garbage souls going to the big fiery basement."
:Alaric Saltzman: "Well shouldn't that have three tines?"
:Georgie: "Not in 22 hundred B.C. when it was foraged. The soil around the Mediterranean was rocky so their pitchforks only had two."
:Alaric Saltzman: "Okay well that's all very interesting but that doesn't tell us anything about its connection to the Sirens, how we'd use it."
:Georgie: "We? Why would we use it? Like this is real as in some sort of magical weapon?"
:Alaric Saltzman: "Come on you know what I mean."
:Georgie: "No actually I don't. Sure this is for a book 'cause your treating it like lives are at stake."
:Alaric Saltzman: "Worse... tenure. Okay, now keep digging."
|-|Sneak Peak 2=
:Stefan: "Look it this is all some sort of elaborate trap we might as well as skip to the part where you spring it."
:Damon: "No Trap, elaborate or otherwise, I just need your help"
:Stefan: "With what?"
:Damon: "I can't tell you. No I mean I literally can't tell you. I can't physically make myself form the words. This thing about Sybil, she's not big on free will. She kinda low-jacked my brain. Whenever I try and form the words to tell ya what's going on it just comes out applesauce penguin."
:Stefan: "Well if you can't tell me how to save you then I'm at a lost 'cause I'm running out of ways to pull you back from the brink."
:Damon: "Sounds suspiciously like someone's given up."
:Stefan: "Not yet but I'm not about to let Elena wake up to find out that you murdered her best friend."
:Damon: "This isn't for Bonnie."
:Stefan: "Then who's it for?"
|-|Inside the episode=
:Enzo St. John: "She means nothing to me."
:Sybil: "Is that so? I guess we'll find out."
:Sybil: "Damon...will you do me a favor and kill Bonnie Bennett?"
:Caroline: "I'm getting married!"
:Caroline: "Oh my god, yes, the June wedding!"
:Bonnie: "The June wedding!"
:Caroline: "I'm going to do everything in my bridal power to make sure you and Enzo live happily ever after. Catch!"
:Damon: "Look's like little brother's getting married, huh? Consider this my R.S.V.P."
