Last time we were in Mystic Falls, Alaric’s ring went all ghost protocol on him (we’re talking major magical defect), Rebekah carved a sharp knife across Damon’s toned body as though he was a stuffed turkey, Stefan learned that Elena may be harboring mushy sentiments towards his older brother, and our favorite kiddos killed off Finn. Oh, and did we mention that once an Original faces the white ashed stake of death that all subsequent vampires parented by that Original die as well? Goodness freaking gracious! The best part though? The terror hasn’t even begun! Believe it or not, life for Miss Elena and crew takes a turn for the worse on The Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 19, “Heart of Darkness”. When she and Damon embark on a road trip to Colorado to check up on a dashing and muscular man Little League’s champ Jeremy (and perhaps inform him that his ring may or may not turn him into a wild-haired serial killer), they’re going to run into an much unwelcome old “friend”….Kol Mikaelsen! And, let’s just say, the most sadistic Original of them all is none too keen about their plan to destroy all his family members.
Dive into the official synopsis for Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 19 below!
“THE VAMPIRE DIARIES” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET)
“Heart of Darkness” (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)TYLER RETURNS TO MYSTIC FALLS — Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) set off together to make sure Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is safe in Denver, and to see if his special abilities can help reveal the information they need about ancient vampire bloodlines. It doesn’t take them long to learn that Jeremy has been hanging with the wrong people. Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) both go to brutal extremes in their search for the missing weapon. Caroline (Candice Accola) is thrilled when Tyler (Michael Trevino) returns to town, but Tyler soon suspects that something has been going on between Caroline and Klaus. Matt (Zach Roerig) has his hands full trying to keep Rebecca (Claire Holt) busy organizing the school’s upcoming 1920s Decade Dance. Chris Grismer directed the episode written by Brian Young and Evan Bleiweiss (#319).

Poor Elena is cursed when it comes to keeping her loved ones alive — do you think that Kol will end up causing Jeremy permanent damage (aka death)? And Elena and Damon look awfully cozy in those photos. Do you think viewers should brace themselves for a blazing hot scene between the two? Post your predictions in the comments and discuss Vampire Diaries Season 3 spoilers in greater length in the fan lounge!

I think Kol might have compelled Jeremy to do his bidding since Jeremy might not be drinking vervain on a daily basis.Add the ring’s insanity, Jeremy IS in trouble or he might be MORE trouble for the gang.
As far as having a “Delenalicious” scene, I am hoping and praying that we Delenians get a nice,long, UNINTERRUPTED, 100% ANNOYING STEFAN-FREE Delena scene!!!!!!
I read somewhere that Kol was going to use Damon as batting practice, so I’m hoping Elena will provide “first aid” help to Damon and that means “Delena” goodness!! I CAN’T wait to see this… OMG! This wait is torture!!!!!!
@Susy I hope you are right and we’ll see a Delena scene,but I heard that Elena will invite Damon to the decade dance and they’ll share moment, so I don’t know what to say,what is good is that the episode 20 is called “Do not go gentle”, so maybe there is a Stelena moment, but I don’t think this means that they will be together again.So I think that we should wait more for that Delena scene, maybe until the last episode, if you remember that blind item, that says a couple will finally hook-up in may.
@Arwen1, Judging from the pictures above and the promo, there will definitely be some emotionally intense moments between Damon and Elena. I think we are finally going to see a tenderness that isn’t one-sided anymore- Elena will show her feelings towards Damon! I agree with you that it won’t be anything “earth-shattering”, but any Delenalicious moment is to be savored, since these kisses/fights don’t happen often! I hope and pray that this time the scene won’t be interrupted by someone knocking on a door, walking into the room or calling on the cell! That is soo frustrating!
I read somewhere that there will be a Stelena moment in the April 26 episode.But I don’t think they’ll get back together. That would be too much to stomach!
I agree that the decisive “Delena” moment will come on the finale. Then we’ll be forced to wait a long torturous summer to know what happens next!
I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen with Delena!!!! It will be epic for sure!!!!!!!
Delena forever, as always!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Arwen I read a sypnosis somewhere on the episode of the Decade Dance, it said Caroline tells Elena that she should invite Stefan and she does… I also heard there’s a heartbreaking Stelena scene and some Delena goodness. I’m excited to see the road Delena trip and yes @Susy, it seems Damon gets some banging from Kol, so I hope that you’re right and Elena provides first aid to poor Damon
I am looking forward to see Jeremy. But looking at this pictures I’m worried.
