‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 8 spoilers: Matt’s return and a new origin story

Through one episode of the eighth season, “The Vampire Diaries” has absolutely done a really good job at creating a wide array of different, interesting storylines. Some are violent, some are romantic, and some are even nostalgic.

So where do we go from here as we start to near the end of the road? One thing that the show still needs to do is bring everyone together after some time apart, and this includes Matt, a character who smartly at one point decided that he was going to try and get out of the madness. It’s hard to blame him for the idea, given that this is the last place that most sane people would want to remain in Mystic Falls. It’s chaotic, dangerous, and there aren’t exactly many opportunities for people to find peace or relaxation there.

Well, we can confirm via The CW that Matt will be back in some shape or form for the upcoming November 11 episode entitled “An Eternity of Misery.” The synopsis below does a pretty great job of letting us know precisely what is going to be coming up moving forward:

“Tasked with finding a mysterious artifact, Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) latest mission takes him to Texas where a violent run-in with Peter Maxwell (guest star Joel Gretsch) leads to a surprising revelation. Meanwhile, after gaining the upper hand in their fight to save Damon and Enzo (Michael Malarkey), Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Alaric (Matt Davis) team up and uncover the origins of the mysterious force they’re up against. Finally, Matt (Zach Roerig) returns to the fray after his past and present collide in an unexpected way.”
