Silas is on a manhunt for Katherine, but how far will he go?
Turns out, very far.
The villain goes from the streets of Mystic Falls on The Vampire Diaries to nearby Whitmore College, where Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Caroline (Candice Accola) are attempting to begin their lives anew, to get answers. The episode smartly focused on the repercussions of Damon's secrets, notably that he didn't inform Elena about her brother Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) getting expelled from high school and Stefan's true whereabouts.

Klaus is about to get a run for his money.
The CW premieres The Originals, the Vampire Diaries spinoff centered on the powerful Original family, after its flagship series Oct. 3. While viewers were already introduced to the supernatural-tinged world of New Orleans earlier this year, they'll get an even deeper look at Klaus' (Joseph Morgan) protege, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) and the throne Klaus is desperate to take back.

The Vampire Diaries is heading to college.
After a summer to de-stress, the CW drama returns with Elena (Nina Dobrev) -- happily gallivanting with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) -- and Caroline (Candice Accola) looking ahead to life after high school at nearby Whitmore College, but it won't be smooth sailing.
It's been months since the events of the high-stakes season-four finale, which saw Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) resurrected, Katherine turning human and the villainous Silas locking Stefan (Paul Wesley) away in an underwater tomb, and it appears life is back to normal. But in Mystic Falls, that never lasts long.

SAN DIEGO — The Vampire Diaries stars had much to talk about Saturday afternoon for the show's fifth trip to Comic-Con.
When season four left off, Stefan discovered that one of Mystic Falls' most dangerous villains, Silas, was his doppelganger, and Katherine involuntarily became human. Plus, Elena finally made her choice between the Salvatore brothers, picking Damon. Will their budding romance end on a happy note?
"There's no drama in happiness," said executive producer Julie Plec, but she gave credit to TV shows that have successfully depicted a happy couple. "One of the things [we will try] to do is to try to keep them happy for a while in the midst of the bad things around them that are trying to tear them apart."
