In the next episode of The Vampire Diaries, Elena will be in desperate need of some girl time – see why in this new sneak peek!

Zap2It has released the following clip from Thursday’s episode “We’ll Always Have Bourbon Street,” which features Elena, Bonnie and Caroline:

In the scene, Elena approaches Caroline and Bonnie, who confront her about having to move out of her house to stay with Damon and Stefan. They also talk about Bonnie’s new attachment to “creepy” Professor Shane, and Elena invites the girls over to the Salvatore mansion for a girls’ night.

But just then, she sees Damon and quickly follows him. Hmmm, we wonder what they’re gonna be off doing!

Whether or not this scene comes before the one from the first sneak peek (in which Stefan tells Damon about his sire bond theory), however, is unclear.

We’ve also got a bit more information about Jeremy’s situation from EP Julie Plec, who tells Zap2It that in this episode, “Jeremy gets shipped off to the lake house for treatment. They’re in a predicament, which is that he loves his sister and she’s the one person he’d love to kill more than anybody.” To fix this problem, “we’ll see that Elena has enlisted Bonnie to help. She’s seeking out unconventional methods to find a fix.”

Are you looking forward to seeing where the Damon/Elena relationship is going to go after she finds out that her feelings for him may be because he inadvertently sired her?

The Vampire Diaries 4×09 “We’ll Always Have Bourbon Street” airs this Thursday at 8/7c on The CW. Hear what we had to say about last week’s episode on Hypable’s Vampire Hype podcast, and share your own thoughts in the comments!
