‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 7 spoilers: Official details on ‘The Originals’ crossover

tvd -There is certainly a number of reasons to be excited about the upcoming crossover between “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals,” but one of the most intriguing things is the simple fact that there is so much buzz surrounding this event even when you consider that there are really not too many people crossing over between the two shows at all. As a matter of fact, the only person at the center of all of this at first is Stefan … though it is not clear if someone else will join him down the line.

This crossover will take place in full on February 26, and you can look at the synopsis for the first part (entitled “Moonlight on the Bayou”) below:

“In order to lure a vengeful vampire hunter named Rayna Cruz (guest star Leslie-Anne Huff) away from his friends in Mystic Falls, Stefan (Paul Wesley) heads to New Orleans, where Valerie (guest star Elizabeth Blackmore) has learned of a safe house that can protect him. Once there, he comes face to face with Klaus Mikaelson (guest star Joseph Morgan), who soon becomes suspicious of his old friend’s unexpected arrival in his city. Meanwhile, Enzo (Michael Malarkey), who is working on behalf of a mysterious organization called The Armory, approaches Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie (Kat Graham) with a plan that could protect Stefan from Rayna. Finally, after learning that Alaric (Matt Davis) has decided to leave for Dallas with the twins immediately, Caroline (Candice King) offers to accompany them on the trip and finds herself contemplating her own future in Mystic Falls.”

By the time that we make it through to the end of this particular episode, we imagine that the stage will be set for some more chaos over on “The Originals.” The part of all of this that we presumably find the most amusing is the description of Stefan as some sort of “old friend,” even when we clearly know that this is not the case.
