Vampire Diaries Video: Damon Slips Jeremy a Surprise Going-Away Present 

Say it with me now: Jeremy Gilbert graduates! Jeremy Gilbert graduates!

brother’s countless absences and apparent inability to spell the word “cat,” TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek from Thursday’s 

(The CW, 8/7c) finds Jeremy donning a graduation cap and receiving his diploma — with a little help from Damon and Elena, of course.

In a moment of oddly adorable bonding, Damon also sneaks a special gift (from Jo’s “stash”) into Jeremy’s cap.

“Tell your sister, and I’ll kill you,” he says. “Again.” (Oh, are we joking about that now?)

As previously — and heartbreakingly — reported, Thursday’s episode marks Steven R. McQueen’s final hour as a series regular.

Hit PLAY on the preview clip above, then drop a comment below: Will you miss Jeremy?

Sorry to see him go from the show being the Batman fan I am,CD”Mon Night wing!

DELENA & JEREMY ARE OT3!!!! IM GONNA MISS THEIR SCENES SO MUCH.

Dare I say what I though when I read this headline. Oy Vey :-)

A TV death that affected me the most even above the ‘Red wedding’ was when Jeremy died. I was glad to see him back, but when he was brought back much like Alaric and Enzo, the writers did not know what to do with him. I will surely miss him

Oh, Damon being oh so funny as always. NOT. Run Jeremy, run as fast as you can. Or your caring sister will release her oh so funny boyfriend at you.

Now that TVD already renewed for a seventh season, the execs at CW should think about planning a proper final season for the series.
