Feel like you’ve been stuck in a spellbound tomb for 100 years, desperately thirsting for some Elena/Damon friends-with-vampy-benefits action? According to Julie Plec, you won’t be parched for much longer.
The executive producer of fangtastic CW drama The Vampire Diaries took some time out of her precious script-writing schedule to giveTV Guide Canada a taste of what to expect from tonight’s deliciously titled episode (“Disturbing Behaviour”), which may just be the start of something serious for the much-shipped-about couple.
And if that wasn’t enough of a treat, she threw in some Stefan, Bonnie and Halloween spoilers too!
ELENA + SALVATORE SMOOCHIES Since Stefan officially broke it off with Elena during last week’s flashback episode (“The End of the Affair”), Plec says you can expect the couple to start consummating their slow-burning flirtation. Or at least talking about it.
“There’s definitely going to be some questions brought up to Elena and in Elena’s own mind about what this game she’s been playing with Damon is,” Plec says of tonight’s episode.
“I can’t make any promises on how that’s all going to play out in terms of smoochin’ and stuff. But there’s definitely going to be a lot coming to the forefront in terms of their friendship and what that means.”
In the preview for tonight’s episode, Caroline asks Elena if she’s “switching Salvatores.” Here’s hoping the answer is “Hells, yes!” and E and D decide to recreate that steamy Tyler/Caroline between-the-sheets partay from two weeks back.
As for Stefan and Elena’s relationship, Plec says their romantic life is definitely over. “[Stefan’s] desire to protect her is what keeps him holding on to that little bit of humanity that he does have. But he spoke the truth, which is, that it can’t ever be the same … He doesn’t want her to spend her entire life waiting for him.”

RIPPER STEFAN: TOUCHED BY AN ‘ANGEL?’Plec wouldn’t elaborate on the future of Elena and Stefan’s now-just-friendship, but did she say that the former lovebirds remind her of another famously doomed human-vamp couple: Buffy and Angel.
“Every time we write Stefan, somewhere in the back of my head is that scene where Buffy has to stake Angel, just as his soul is coming back,” Plec says. “There’s no more powerful, emotional love story moment in the world.”
“I think one of the wonderful things that Buffy was able to do was to tell that really beautiful heartbreak of a relationship gone wrong. Of love ripped inside out … In the journey of a love story, you have to be able to put it in the blender and hit high and really put your heroes through the ringer.”
So in other words, it’s not totally over for them?
“[Buffy] showed us that a hero could go down that road, so dark, and still be able to tell the power of that love story,” Plec says. “We wanted to do that as well.”
THE WITCH IS BACK! / DOPPELGANGER DRAMAAfter appearing to have apparated for the past two episodes, Bonnie will return to Mystic Falls tonight. The teenage witch has been hanging with her dad and her non-magical fam for the past few weeks and so, she’s more than ready to start casting spells for her BFF again.
“[Bonnie] comes back and steps right back into a mystery, surrounding Elena’s necklace,” Plec says. “She will play a big part in trying to unravel that mystery, which Klaus and Rebekah and Stefan are also trying to figure out in Chicago.”
Speaking of Klaus, it looks as though Stefan won’t be able to keep the big secret – that Elena, the doppëlganger and the final key in breaking the Sun and the Moon Curse, is still alive – safe for much longer.
“Stefan has a delicate house of cards built in terms of the lies, he’s been telling,” Plec spills. “And he’s very worried about this house of cards as they start to come crumbling down.”
HAPPY HAUNTED HALLOWEENWhile the parties may never seem to stop in Mystic Falls (there’s a Lockwood BBQ coming up!), there definitely won’t be a Halloween-themed fiesta this season. In fact, there won’t even be a Halloween episode.
“We do have an episode that airs during Halloween week that we took some extra-special care with,” Plec says. “It’s not a Halloween episode, but it’s definitely spooky, Halloween-y fun. “

“[Things] get gets disrupted by the return of the ghostly elements. You know, Jeremy’s new abilities.”
Sounds like the beginning of a (don’t stake me!) boo-tiful first half of the season.
The Vampire Diaries airs Thursdays at 7 p.m. ET on CTV Two, 8 p.m. ET on The CW.
