‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 4, episode 7 preview: A Jeremy surprise

“The Vampire Diaries” season 4 is finally coming back on The CW Thursday night with an all-new episode, and there is one thing that we know about it already: we are going to be in for quite a few surprises.

According to a brand-new report coming in via TVLine, one of the biggest ones is going to come to us via none other than Stephen R. McQueen’s character of Jeremy, who has quickly evolved from just an ordinary teenager into a vampire hunter who could be potentially feared in the long-term. As a matter of fact, one particular vampire is going to have an opportunity to fear him as early as this coming episode, when they will be his first target. Want any clues? Here is what we have so far: the vampire Steven R. McQueen’s character will be going after is someone whose name has five letters in it, and one of them just so happens to be an “A.”

Strangely, this does not necessarily turn out to be as big of a clue as you would think, given that there are three people who effectively fit this description to a T: Elena, Damon, and Klaus. Out of the group Elena would clear be the most surprising, though we also see this being the past person with fangs that Jeremy would ever want to hurt in a million years. Damon and Klaus, meanwhile, are both targets that it would not take much to motivate the guy into making some actions against.

Who do you think is likely to be Jeremy’s first target moving forward … and who should be?
