Actress Arielle Kebbel has not confirmed that she'll reprise her role, but old characters are set to return. Lexi ultimately dies at the hands of Damon later in the episode, but she could make one final appearance in the series finale. 'I was feeling epic, whatever,' she tells him.
He thanks her for putting a good word in for him. Lexi returns to Stefan, who was eavesdropping on the whole thing with his super-vampire hearing. 'Listen, take it from someone who has been around a long time,' Lexi says. Lexi tries to make things right between the two by telling Elena that her true love was a human and that he went through the same thing that she's going through now.
She put some distance between them after learning that he's a vampire. Stefan's excited to see his old friend, but he's also having some problems with Elena. In episode eight of season one, Stefan's vampire friend, Lexi, shows up in Mystic Falls for his 162nd birthday. Episode 16, the series finale, is titled 'I Was Feeling Epic.' Like the season eight episodes before it, the final installment in the series is named after a line from season one.
