Hope and Lizzie each find solace from unexpected yet welcome sources.

The episode was written by series creator Julie Plec and showrunner Brett Matthews. Tune in TONIGHT (June 16) at 9pm ET/PT on The CW, next day on The CW app.

Speaking of Julie Plec, hours ahead of the finale, she took to Twitter to bid farewell to the TVD franchise, with special notes for each series – The Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Legacies.

#TVD was my best friend and worst enemy. Never worked harder in my life — to the point of near-breakdown — but the most emotionally gratifying creative, emotional and social experience of my life. Can't ever replicate it — and probably shouldn't. 😎

A little humble brag that we had the likes of @ashannlyle @explodedpiano @junkyardmessiah @declandebarra @michelleparadis @cadlymack @Caryshotwife on staff those first couple years and all of them are showrunner-creators now with their own shows.

– who is not just the perfect partner, but the heart, soul and humor of the show. #Legacies is the gem of a show that people will continue to discover for years. I will miss it dearly, but am so glad we got to put this story out into the world.
