‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 5 spoilers: Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, distractions

“The Vampire Diaries” is a show that has constantly loved to highlight some various stages of relationship drama, so can you really be that surprised at all to see they are doing so again later this month? In two weeks on April 17, the show will be back with the episode directed by Paul Wesley entitled “Resident Evil.” In moving beyond that, though, there is another episode in “Man On Fire” that will showcase various stages of the Damon / Elena relationship.

Before we do anything else when it comes to this story, let’s just start things off by sharing a little bit of what you can expect from this hour. The following synopsis may be one of the longer ones that we’ve ever see from The CW, but it is stuffed full of pretty interesting information about “Delena” and so much more:

“Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to distract Elena (Nina Dobrev) from obsessing about the state of her relationship with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), while Bonnie (Kat Graham) does her best to be realistic about how the changes happening on the Other Side will affect her existence as the Anchor.  Damon demands the Traveler knife, forcing Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig) to admit it has gone missing.  Through flashbacks to election night, 1960, Enzo (guest star Michael Malarkey) reveals to Elena, Stefan and Bonnie that he has learned what happened to his long-lost love, Maggie (guest star Heather Hemmens), and then, with the unwilling help of Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (guest star Chris Brochu), things take an ugly turn.  Trying to calm Enzo down, Damon intervenes, but his words cause Enzo to make a desperate and dangerous decision that leads to a violent confrontation with Stefan.  Finally, Markos (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) enlists Sloan’s (guest star Caitlin McHugh) help in a ritual designed to break an ancient curse against the Travelers.”

Does this sound good to anyone else? It’s at least going to be an opportunity to find out about who Enzo really is, and this history prior to getting into Mystic Falls and around most of these other characters. This is a guy who we were admittedly unsure about going into this season, but now, we are actually starting to appreciate him more than we ever did before going into this.
