Template:WonEp

“ Why wouldn't I be here? Bonnie deactivated the Gilbert invention, Isobel is gone and it's Founders' Day! I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your girl. ”
— Damon Salvatore to Stefan Salvatore

Founder's Day is the twenty-second and final episode of the first season of The Vampire Diaries and the twenty-second episode of the series overall.

Summary

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING, WITH AN ENDING THAT WILL LEAVE YOU HANGING — Founder's Day has finally arrived, and everyone is busy with last-minute preparations for floats and fireworks for the 150th Founder's Day Celebration. Stefan is uncomfortable with Damon's new attitude toward Elena, but Elena is more concerned about repairing her relationship with Jeremy. Jeremy is worried about Anna, but not sure he's on board with her latest plan for the future. While Caroline is enjoying her day as Queen of the celebration, she also tries to help Matt and Tyler get their friendship back on track. Finally, although Damon and Alaric did their best to stop him, John Gilbert sets a plan in motion that brings Founder's Day to an end amid chaos, destruction and death.

Quotes

Damon: "It's Founder's Day. I'm here to eat cotton candy and steal your girl."
Tyler: "I said I was sorry."
Caroline: "You made out with his mother and then you beat him to a pulp. You're gonna have to do a little better than "I'm sorry."
Elena: "I think you should stop with the flirty little comments and the eye-thing you do."
Damon: "What eye-thing?"
Elena: "Don't make me regret being your friend, okay?"
Elena: "I'm asking you not to."
John: "That doesn't mean anything to me."
Elena: "As my father, it should."
John: You know?
Mayor Lockwood: "What are you doing here?"
Damon: "I'm a vampire. What's your excuse? The vervain didn't effect you. You're not a vampire. What the hell are you?"
Bonnie: "Elena is my best friend, and because she loves you, I couldn't let you or Damon die in that fire."
Stefan: "I'm very grateful, Bonnie, I hope you know that."
Bonnie: "I do, but I hope you know that things have to change. Damon has to change."
Stefan: "We both want the same thing."
Bonnie: "We both want to protect the people we care about. The difference is for you, Damon is one of them. You saw what I was able to do tonight. I know who I am now. If Damon spills so much as one drop of innocent blood, I'll take him down—- even if I have to take you with him."
Jeremy: "Even I can't remember why, I still feel empty, alone. Making me forget won't fix it."
Damon: "Life sucks either way, Jeremy. At least if you're a vampire, you don't have to feel bad about it if you don't want to."
Damon: "I came to this town wanting to destroy it, and tonight I found myself trying to protect it. How's that happen?"
Damon: "I'm not a hero, Elena. I don't do good. It's not in me."
Katherine: "Maybe it is."
Damon: "Somewhere along the way, you decided I was worth saving. I wanted to thank you for that."
Katherine: "You're welcome."
Katherine: "Hello, John. Goodbye, John."
(She stabs John with a large knife)
