THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: The Salvatore Brothers Bid Farewell In Series Finale Promo & Stills: "I Was Feeling Epic"
Ahead of next week's series finale, The CW will air a 1-hour retrospective with new cast interviews, looking back at 8 years of The Vampire Diaries. Get your first look at the final hours now!
After eight epic years, next week, The Vampire Diaries comes to a close and after last night's installment, it's really going out with a bang.
Former series star Nina Dobrev will return as both Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce in the final hour, which will see Stefan & Damon Salvatore race against time & space to save Bonnie and Mystic Falls from burning to the ground.
Outside of that nugget, we don't know much more about the final episode, save for the fact that it will include a funeral, and it looks like the CW wants to continue keeping fans in the dark as long as they can as in lieu of a finale promo, they've released an extended preview for the one-hour retrospective special that will air ahead of the eagerly awaited finale. Check it out below:

"I Was Feeling Epic" - (8:59-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-14, LV) (HDTV)
OLD FRIENDS - With the fate of Mystic Falls at stake, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) must fight their greatest enemy for one last battle. Julie Plec directed the episode written by Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson. (#816). Original airdate 3/10/2017.
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.
