‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 5 spoilers: Who realizes that Paul Welsey’s Stefan is gone?
When the season 5 premiere of “The Vampire Diaries” airs on The CW a week from Thursday, you’re going to find out some pretty interesting information regarding Stefan: Even though he has been alive for over a century, he may still be undergoing what is the worst experience of his life courtesy of drowning again and again while Silas is roaming around in the real world. The only good news here is that while Silas may look like a Salvatore, he’s going to have a hard time acting like one. This is going to be fun for Paul Wesley to play, but it’s not going to take long for someone to figure out that the real Stefan is not around.
So who is going to be the man responsible for fronting the search for him? In the synopsis below for “True Lies,” the second episode of the season set to air on October 10, it’s pretty clear that we are talking about a vampire who knows him best in Damon:
“Without telling Elena (Nina Dobrev) that Stefan (Paul Wesley) is missing, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) turns to Sheriff Forbes (Marguerite MacIntyre) for help finding his brother. Elena and Caroline (Candice Accola) try to find out who is covering up a campus murder, and a fellow Whitmore student named Jesse (guest star Kendrick Sampson) gives Elena some intriguing information about Professor Wes Maxfield (guest star Rick Cosnett). While Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) struggles to return to his old life, he continues to be the only person who can see and talk to Bonnie (Kat Graham), but he can’t convince her that it’s time to let the others know that she sacrificed her own life for his. After learning that Silas is searching for Katherine, Damon asks Matt (Zach Roerig) and Jeremy to keep her out of sight, but the situation quickly spirals out of control. Finally, Nadia (guest star Olga Fonda) uses violence to make a point about her own agenda.”
We do find it fun to see Damon and the sheriff working together, mostly because of all of the headaches that he has caused her over the course of the past several years. Luckily, she is someone who wants to do good, and we’d be surprised if she does not help out.
Clearly, there is going to be quite a bit of other story happening in this episode, and Bonnie is still going to have it be a secret that she allowed herself to die in order to bring Jeremy back. but eventually, doesn’t this secret have to come out? We have to imagine so.
