The stills were released on TV Line. They show Klaus and Damon teaming up (probably against the new vampire hunter, played by Todd Williams), while a lonely Rebekah bonds not only with Matt but also new girl April (played by Grace Phipps).
The episode description for “The Rager” has also recently been released and it reads:
BORN TO BE WILD — Connor (guest star Todd Williams) continues his search to uncover the secrets of Mystic Falls and tries to convince Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to work with him. With Dr. Fell’s (guest star Torrey DeVitto) help, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) question Connor, but the confrontation takes a lethal turn. Trying to keep her new life as normal as possible, Elena (Nina Dobrev) is determined to continue her senior year at Mystic Falls High with support from Matt (Zach Roerig) and Caroline (Candice Accola). Rebekah’s (Claire Holt) arrival at school makes it difficult for Elena to control her anger, but she learns that confronting Rebekah can be extremely dangerous. Later, Rebekah realizes how alone she is, and reaches out to April (guest star Grace Phillips). Stefan (Paul Wesley) takes Elena on a thrilling motorcycle ride in an effort to show her that life can still be fun. Tyler (Michael Trevino) gets a surprise visit from Hayley (guest star Phoebe Tonkin, “The Secret Circle”), a werewolf who helped him through the ordeal of breaking his sire-bond to Klaus. Concerned about Elena, as well as his own emotions, Stefan turns to a sympathetic Caroline for advice.
Do you think that Matt and Rebekah will get together in season 4? Considering that the writers have hinted at it several times but never actually gone there, season 4 might be the time to finally do it considering that neither seemingly has another prospective love interest lined up.
The episode will air on October 25. The season opener, “Growing Pains,” airs next Thursday at 8/7c on The CW, and we can’t wait! Elena will be doing everything she can to avoid completing the transition and becoming a vampire, with the help of Jeremy and Stefan – but Damon doesn’t share their conviction that this is something that needs to be stopped. Meanwhile Klaus is still in Tyler’s body, ready to take full advantage of the, well, advantages this position offers him.
