As far as finales go, The Vampire Diaries TV series certainly doesn’t disappoint. In fact, they tend to break our hearts, scream our heads off, and beg for more. And, according to Vampire Diaries cast members Candice Accola and Nina Dobrev (who spoke to Entertainment Weekly and Gold Derby, respectively) the season 3 finale is going to rattle our supernatural-loving spirits to the core! Full of suspense, full of red-hot drama…it’s going to greatly rival the shocking twist at the end of the first season’s finale, “Founder’s Day”! (To quote Candice Accola: “I won’t reveal if I cried or not… Okay, fine. I totally cried. But in really unexpected moments.”) Get the scoop on Tyler Lockwood’s return, Abby Bennett’s transition, and Salvatore romances below.

In case you’re unable to view the fun spoiler slideshow, here they are:

• On Switching Salvatores: “The season one finale was one of the most memorable, for me and everyone I’ve ever spoken to. And now we’re giving the season one finale a run for its money with what’s happening at the end of this one. I don’t want to give away too much, but Elena has been back and forth between the brothers and she has to make a decision.” – Nina Dobrev to Gold Derby
• On A Forwood Reunion: “[We’ll] see how the rest of the season plays out, if she is inevitably wooed by [Klaus]. What she really wants is for him to relinquish Tyler’s sire bond to him. That’s her main goal.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
• On A High Death Toll: “There’s a new pseudo-villain coming in… a new threat… but everyone sort of teams up to save each other. I’m going to go as far as to say not one but a few people die in the finale.” – Nina Dobrev to Gold Derby
  “I won’t reveal if I cried or not… Okay, fine. I totally cried. But in really unexpected moments. It really is so great. I think the viewers are gonna be so happy with it.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
• On The Hotness That Is Jamie: “We’re gonna get to know Jamie [the young man Abby took in while she was estranged from Bonnie] a little bit better. I can say he’s chopping wood in a very revealing tank top, ladies. So get ready, because those arms are chopping wood like no other.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
• On Future Hybrid & Barbie Liaisons: “We will see Klaus and Caroline continue to interact as the season drifts on, but I think it’s so funny because he’s an evil, evil guy and everyone is so excited for them to be together just because he’s batting his eyelashes and speaking that British accent all up and down Caroline.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
• On A Matt Donovan Love Triangle: “I think Caroline has feelings for Matt in a very protective way. At this point, she’s in a full-fledged relationship with Tyler, who used to be his best friend. There’s really not much going back to that. Although it is high school, so it’s a little bit more acceptable.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
• On Becoming A Mentor: “We’re gonna see Caroline step into the role of the mothering mentor. We’re gonna learn about what happens when a witch does transition into a vampire and what that means and what she loses.” – Candice Accola to Entertainment Weekly
