‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 4 spoilers: The step before ‘The Originals’

KlausIf you love “The Vampire Diaries” to the point of being a frequent reader of news about it online, you probably know already that the upcoming 20th episode of season 4 is going to be called “The Originals.” What you may not know, at least until now, is just what the hit CW show plans on doing right before that.

While we don’t know much in the way of details about the episode yet, we can confirm that the 19th episode is going to be entitled “Pictures of You.” Whatever happens during this hour is sure to bleed straight into Klaus’ adventures in New Orleans with Elijah, and the arrival of all of the new faces in what is going to be the backdoor pilot for the new show. “The Originals” has been worked on diligently by executive producer Julie Plec and her team for several weeks, and there are surely some high expectations out there for the episode to meet the hopes of all of the devoted fans.

For those of you wondering about the possible meaning to “Pictures of You,” there are multiple songs with this title, including one by The Cure and one by The Last Goodnight. The show has made some more inferences to music in their titles this season, though not so many yet that we could compare them to “True Blood” (who really is the master of song-related episode titles at this point).

What do you think is going to happen that convinces Klaus and his family to leave Mystic Falls, especially after how they have done so much over the past few years to try and stay there? Be sure to share some of your thoughts below, and you can watch a preview from episode 4×17 airing next week over at the link here.
