It’s that time again. The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 8 “Dead Man on Campus” airs tonight at 8 p.m. EST on the CW! Check out the synopsis, a clip, the promo and find out where you can watch online.

Last week’s episode, “Death and the Maiden” brought all sorts of complications and doppelganger fun, including Bonnie’s newest role: anchor for the Other Side. We also lost two of our doppelganger personalities, at least in the physical world, as well as the original, Original witch.

Now that Bonnie is officially “back,” we are most anxious to see her, Caroline, and Elena catch up a bit, and it seems that a party is the best way for them to do so. The Vampire Diaries season 5, episode 8 “Dead Man on Campus” promises a little bit of everything: parties, secrets, revelations, bonding, and Matt!

The official synopsis for ‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 5, episode 8 ‘Dead Man on Campus’ is:

THE PARTY’S OVER – At Whitmore College, Elena and Caroline decide it’s time to throw a big party, but their plans are interrupted when Jesse (guest star Kendrick Sampson) suddenly needs Caroline’s help. At Elena’s request, Damon comes up with an effective method to get Wes (guest star Rick Cosnett) to answer his questions. At the party, Elena finds that she and Aaron (guest star Sean [sic] Sipos) have a lot in common, and Caroline grows more concerned about Jesse. Meanwhile, Katherine does a favor for Matt and manages to get through to Stefan, who is still struggling to overcome the events of the summer. Finally, Bonnie does her best to cope with her new reality, and Damon makes a terrifying discovery about a secret society.

Sneak Peek:

While Elena and Caroline are partying it up with Bonnie fresh from the Other Side, Stefan will continue to be tortured by the memories of his summer spent drowning in the quarry as you can see in this sneak peek.
