‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 7, episode 2 preview: What’s next for Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, cast?

tvd -The Vampire Diaries” has already kick-started its seventh season with a series of crazy events, mostly thanks to how Mystic Falls has already been taken over by the Heretics. These are people with their own agenda of making life very difficult for everyone other than them, and come next week’s new episode entitled “Never Let Me Go,” some of the people in the crosshairs could be none other than Lily’s own children in Stefan and Damon.

The synopsis below gives you a pretty good sense as to everything that is going to be coming up, including at least one surprise about Stefan that will raise an eyebrow or two among fans:

“When an impulsive decision by Damon (Ian Somerhalder) threatens to unravel a carefully negotiated deal between Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Lily (guest star Annie Wersching), he has no choice but to make amends with his mother before things spiral further out of control. However, Lily remains one step ahead and carries out a harsh plan that hits Damon where it hurts most. Elsewhere, after returning to Whitmore Collage, Alaric (Matt Davis) turns to Bonnie (Kat Graham) for help with a mysterious and potentially dangerous artifact he has obtained, while Matt (Zach Roerig) is forced into making a risky life or death decision. Meanwhile, Caroline (Candice King), who finds herself a pawn in Lily and the heretics’ plan for retribution, uncovers a shocking detail about Stefan’s past.”

Going into the premiere, we were obviously skeptical about what direction the show was going to take without Elena, but we’d say that we were for the most part pleasantly surprised. It’s a different sort of story than we’re used to for this show, but one that we are intrigued with.
