‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6, episode 12 preview: Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev in ‘Prayer for the Dying’

The latest -Can Sheriff Forbes be saved? The final answer may be clear on “The Vampire Diaries” next week with an emotional episode entitled “Prayer for the Dying,” and it could be one that gets you extremely teary-eyed at the end of the day. We have a merge, a desperate attempt, and many characters actually coming together in the same place. Just how often is that happening on the show these days? The answer to that is “not much.”

If you want to see some more details all about what to expect, then check out the official synopsis via The CW below:

“When Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke’s (guest star Chris Brochu) father arrives to town to celebrate their birthday, they try and convince him to let Jo (guest star Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) and Kai (guest star Chris Wood) take their place in the merge ceremony. After Tyler (Michael Trevino) finds out that the merge is happening sooner than he expected, he urges Liv to let him talk to her father. Meanwhile, after Caroline’s (Candice Accola) plan to cure her mother takes an unexpected and devastating turn, Elena (Nina Dobrev), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) gather at the hospital, while Jo attempts to save Sheriff Forbes’ (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) life. Lastly, with the merge set to take place, Damon’s risky plan quickly sends things spiraling out of control, forcing one of the twins to take matters into their own hands.”

The only other thing that we can say about this episode is that it could change the course of the series in a big way, and we are excited to see what happens as a result of it. We know that can be said often with this show, but it doesn’t make it any less true.
