He will remain behind and clean up this mess. Not because Damon really fucked up that terribly or because he feels particularly beholden to Katherine. But in a way, just like she isn't Elena, she isn't really Katherine right now either.

He's expecting his brother to make good on his words and leave but he appears to stop as suddenly as he started. Stefan cocks his head to the side, distracted from the fact that he's still nearly embracing Katherine. ]
