New Extended Promo & Stills For THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Season 8 Episode 9 "The Simple Intimacy Of The Near Touch"
The Vampire Diaries returned from its winter hiatus last night with one of its finest hours yet & officially kicked off the final eight episodes of the series. Come take a look at next week's promo now!
The Vampire Diaries returned last night with an episode directed by Ian Somerhalder and it proved to be one of the most devastatingly satisfying yet as Stefan returned to his ripper ways while Damon was able to relocate a piece of his long lost conscience.
Next week's episode will take the Salvatore brothers back to Mystic Falls where they reunite with Sybil, who has a new mission for them. Meanwhile, Bonnie & Enzo also return and may have made a major decision about their future. Plus, Damon seeks help from Caroline in handling an out-of-control Stefan, but runs into unexpected trouble when Stefan retaliates by recruiting Sybil, who promptly begins taunting the elder Salvatore with memories of his past.
Check out the new promo for episode nine, titled "The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch", below:
"The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch" - (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)
THE PAGEANT - Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) return to Mystic Falls at Sybil's (guest star Nathalie Kelley) request as she is still in search of the historical artifact. Bonnie (Kat Graham) returns from Paris wearing a vile of Enzo's (Michael Malarkey) blood making Caroline (Candice King), wonder if she will become a vampire. Stefan, Damon, Caroline, Bonnie and Enzo all attend the Miss Mystic Falls pageant where Sybil continues to taunt Damon with memories of Elena. Geoff Shotz directed the episode, written by Neil Reynolds and Penny Cox (#809). Original airdate: 1/20/2017.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES sinks its teeth into its final season with more high-stakes romance, adventure and drama than ever before. Last season, our heroes rebuilt their world without Elena, and Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Caroline (Candice King) began their much-anticipated yet complicated relationship. Meanwhile, Damon pursued a vendetta against his mother Lily (guest star Annie Wersching), who abandoned her sons to care for vampire-witches. Lily’s misguided choices caused her own demise and Rayna forced Stefan to go on the run and leave Caroline to make a new start with Alaric. Damon enlisted the help of the Armory, but the Armory’s deeper agenda endangered Bonnie’s life. To remedy the crisis, Damon and Enzo entered the Armory’s occult vault. The triangle of Stefan, Caroline and Alaric will team up with Bonnie in season eight to search for the two most important men in her life – even though Damon and Enzo may be long past saving.
