Summary
“What if it doesn’t work, Elena?” Damon asked.
She pressed her lips into a firm line. It had been the same thought she had the first time Elijah had mentioned the elixir when he couldn’t promise that it would work. It hadn’t been made before Katerina, nor after. It was singular in purpose with no trial and error rate.
But she knew the risk and had told him as much in private.
Klaus needed her for the sacrifice. He had come to town and tormented her friends and family because of her. And Elijah had offered a potential way for her to protect everyone and for her to make it out the other side.
It had to be enough.
“Then I guess I’ll just be dead.”

Where in Damon respecting Elena's wishes in taking the elixir before the sacrifice makes all the difference.
