That was never going to happen. She died because it made the most sense to kill her. Besides, the hunter storyline was over, the argents were basically all dead, and Lydia was just starting to figure out what she was. Allison we already know: cute, troubled archer.

I don't recall a single person speculate that Lydia might be the one to die at the time. It was pretty much always downt to Derek or Allison.

Please, assuming it wasn't something MTV wanted, tell me a believable way to write her out when taking her entire storyline up to that point into consideration. She had already left, and decided to come back, so that wouldn't have made sense.

Unless you would like to join me in my personal theory that her "wanting to leave" was a load of BS, and just a story that they told us so that we wouldn't all bail on the show when they killed off the strongest female character, and a fan fav?
