‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 7 premiere synopsis puts heavy focus on Damon’s future

DamonIf you have been anxiously awaiting the season 7 premiere of “The Vampire Diaries,” we have a hard time thinking that you have any reason to be depressed after you read the synopsis for the October 8 premiere entitled “Day One of Twenty-Two Thousand, Give or Take.” The CW has practically released a book that is all about what some of these characters are going to be up to, starting of course with Damon.

We’re not going to waste too much time here setting this up, mostly because of the fact that there’s little we can say that is not mentioned below:

“After a twisted plan left the life of his girlfriend Elena linked to that of his best friend Bonnie (Kat Graham), Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is forced to navigate his new reality without the love of his life. A newly empowered Bonnie has decided that she will be Damon’s moral compass and keeps a close eye on him as he, in turn, cautiously keeps tabs on Alaric (Matt Davis), following the loss of his fiancée Jo. Meanwhile, as he waits for Caroline (Candice King) to sort out her emotions, Stefan (Paul Wesley) takes an active role in protecting the town from Lily (guest star Annie Wersching) and her family of Heretics, who have wasted no time wreaking havoc in Mystic Falls. Elsewhere, Enzo (Michael Malarkey) struggles to find his place in Lily’s new life, and is quickly forced to decide where his true loyalties lie. Finally, with the stakes higher than ever, Matt (Zach Roerig), who has recently completed his deputy training program, teams up with Stefan and Caroline to put a stop to the Heretics, but an unexpected turn of events leaves one of them in a dangerous position.”

To us, the dynamic between Damon and Bonnie is going to be the most interesting part of this story to follow, mostly because it would be fairly easy for her to develop some sort of survivor’s remorse, given the circumstances. We do not think that Damon would deliberately try to unload on her over being alive while Elena is gone, but what about in the heat of the moment? We’re going to have a chance to find out soon enough…
