Last night’s The Vampire Diaries episode was intense, and it looks like next week’s “The Killer” will be even more so! Check out the promo now.

“The Five” revealed a huge new piece of the mythology for the show, and also had some incredible character moments – especially for Klaus and Rebekah. Can you believe that Rebekah was daggered again? And that Professor Shane is in allegiance with Connor? And, most importantly, that the show is introducing a cure for vampirism?

Just last week, the hosts of the Vampire Hype podcast joked about such a possibility, but it looks like they were on the right track. Will Elena, Stefan and the others really end up becoming human, or are the writers throwing us for a loop?

In the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, entitled “The Killer,” Connor will be back in Mystic Falls to take Jeremy, Matt and poor April hostage. As we can see from the promo it looks like Damon is ready to sacrifice them, but Elena tells him threateningly that, “My brother is the only thing that’s holding me together.”

Whoa! It’s intense! We only hope that Rebekah will be back soon, because wasn’t she amazing last night?! You can expect much gushing about her, as well as our responses to the “Human Again” concept they introduced, on the next Vampire Hype episode – so watch this space!
