‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6, episode 8 preview: Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Thanksgiving

Next week, there is going to be a new episode of “The Vampire Diaries,” and it is one that is going to carry a certain seasonal flare with it. The title here is “Fade Into You,” and in the wake of all that has happened, at least a few characters are going to be doing what they can to ring in the Thanksgiving holiday. (For those wondering, the show will be on hiatus during Turkey Day itself.)

The synopsis below is rather revealing, and it makes it very clear that while there will be a celebration, there will also be plenty of intense moments to keep watch on when it comes to many of your favorite characters:

“As Caroline (Candice Accola) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) prepare to host Friendsgiving at the dorm, they receive some hopeful news from Alaric (Matt Davis) and Stefan (Paul Wesley), who have traveled to Portland to gather some information regarding the Gemini Coven. Tyler (Michael Trevino) is determined to help Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) after she and Luke (guest star Chris Brochu) reveal some disturbing information about their witch lineage and the impending plans their coven has for them. Meanwhile, dinner takes a drastic turn when Jo (guest star Jodi Lyn O’Keefe), who has revealed some painful details about her past, finds herself fighting for her life, leaving Alaric scrambling to help from a distance. Finally, Kai (guest star Chris Wood) makes a dangerous discovery that brings him one step closer to his release.”

Will things get a little easier for Elena and Damon? The fact that Ian Somerhalder is not even mentioned in the press release has us a little concerned, but we know that he will find his way in here somehow. The man always does!
