Find out what to expect in The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 6 “Handle With Care” – the official episode stills and synopsis reveal significant plot developments.

Although we still have “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and the Halloween-themed “Monster’s Ball” to watch, The CW has already released the stills and synopsis for the November 7 episode of The Vampire Diaries.

Proceed with caution, as of course this new information gives us a pretty good idea about what has happened in the episodes preceding “Handle With Care.”

The official synopsis for The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 6 reads:

INDESTRUCTIBLE – Silas (Paul Wesley) happily announces his new goal to Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena (Nina Dobrev), but they are skeptical when he promises to accomplish one important task in return for their help. Tessa (guest star Janina Gavankar) confidently tells Stefan (Paul Wesley) about her next move, then realizes that Silas has managed to outsmart her. A desperate Katherine (Nina Dobrev) discovers a new and unexpected consequence of becoming human again, and realizes she needs a new place to stay. In exchange for a spot in the dorm room, she offers to show Caroline (Candice Accola) how to get answers from Dr. Maxfield (guest star Rick Cosnett). Bonnie (Kat Graham) is touched by Jeremy’s (Steven R. McQueen) strength and determination to stand by her. Finally, Damon is stunned when he figures out the secret to Tessa’s plan.

You can also see the set of promotional images, mostly showing Caroline (Candice Accola) and Katherine (Nina Dobrev) interacting with newcomer Dr. Maxfield (Rick Cosnett):
