We think all hope is lost. And then the phone should ring. And she should almost miss the call. And then when she picks up, he’s there, but he doesn’t say anything because he just needs to hear her voice, because it’s the one thing keeping him from completely falling apart.” And I started to cry. I was like [in weeping voice], “That’s the best thing I’ve ever head in my entire life.” And then he started to cry. Because that’s what we do, we get each other going, because we’re complete saps. And honestly, it didn’t even matter to us what the rest of the episode was about when all was said and done, because we knew we had that moment. And that Ron Pope song “A Drop in the Ocean,” which our director John Behring and our music supervisor Chris Mollere and the editor Sean Albertson all kind of picked and put in there — it’s like this perfect storm of emotional awesomeness. And then Paul Wesley… My favorite Paul Wesley moment of the show prior to this was last year, when he and Elena realized they had to break up because it was just too dangerous for the two of them to be together and he’s trying to hold back tears and trying not to cry. There’s something about seeing Paul Wesley trying not to cry that is so sad. So he just nailed it. That’s one of my all-time favorite moments emotionally.
