Whether you loved him or hated him, Kai was the charismatic villain "The Vampire Diaries" needed in its sixth season. He was the only baddie who could go toe to toe with Damon Salvatore. Whenever Damon thought Kai was going to zig, he zagged -- and naturally, it all drove Damon a little crazy.

But when Kai kidnapped Elena and planned to use her for magic-making purposes, Damon kicked the heroics into high gear.

MTV News can exclusively reveal this never-before-seen deleted scene that will be featured on the DVD/Blu-ray release of "The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Sixth Season," which hits shelves today, September 1. The scene, from "Woke Up With a Monster," features Damon arguing with Alaric and Jo about what the best plan of action is to defeat Kai -- and save Elena, of course.

It all ends with a kind of adorable interaction between him and Blondie. (No, not that Blondie.)

Also, we're not gonna lie: seeing Jo alive and well is making us all weepy again.
