Vell, it comes frum ze story of ze Vampires....!

Legend has it that a vampire can only be killed by driving a stake through its heart, otherwise it will continue to live for eternity, wreaking havoc by drinking blood and turning others into vampires in the process.

Thus the expression has come to mean finding a way to solve an otherwise apparently unsolvable problem, once and for all.

How did dimitri turn back?

dimitri turns back to a dhampir because. you need a stake charmed with the four elements to kill a normal strigoi. but lissa discovers if you charm a stake with just spirit, you can restore the strigoi back to its former self but the stake must be driven through the heart by a spirit user themself. so lissa charms a stake and learns to drive a stake throught a strigois heart and when the right time came, lissa drove the stake through dimitris heart and dimitri turned back to a dhampir.
