After a week’s worth of a hiatus, The Vampire Diaries is back with a brand new episode — and this time even Lily is going after her ex.

The synopsis for the episode reads, “As Julian (guest star Todd Lasance) and Lily (guest star Annie Wersching) throw a party to celebrate Mary Louise (guest star Teressa Liane) and Nora’s (guest star Scarlett Byrne) anniversary, Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) set in motion a risky plan to eliminate a new threat posed by Julian. Meanwhile, following a major revelation uncovered by Valerie (guest star Elizabeth Blackmore), Caroline (Candice King) is forced to face her new reality, even as it threatens to destroy her relationship with Stefan. Finally, determined to do what’s best for her family, Lily makes the most difficult decision of her life.”

The trailer shows Damon giving Lily the option to kill him, but we all know that that’s definitely not going to happen. The real question tonight is going to be if Lily is going to be able to kill Julian, or if he’ll live to see another episode! He doesn’t seem like the strongest enemy the group has faced, though, so it’s likely he’ll meet his end tonight.

With the winter break coming soon we can’t help but wonder which plot line will be tied up by the new year and which will be the one to continue forward until the spring. Will Julian finally be killed by one of the Salvatore brothers? We find that’s our most likely scenario, while wrapping up Caroline’s pregnancy seems way too quick a move for executive producer Julie Plec and company.

Additionally we have some stills from tonight’s episode. Like always we can’t tell very much from them but they get us excited — especially because Julian is in chains!
