In this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries, entitled “The End of the Affair,” family ties will be revealed, relationships will be explained and familiar faces will return, and it’s only the third episode into Season 3. Collider was one of a handful of outlets invited over to The CW offices to view the episode and all of its edge-of-your-seat moments a day early, and see what hints we could get executive producer/writer Julie Plec to tease, in regard to the upcoming season.

While she didn’t give any specifics or major reveals, Julie Plec did talk about how this episode is just the beginning of what viewers will see of the Originals’ history and origin, what these revelations will do to the relationship between Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev), that the chemistry between Elena and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) will be illuminated more as a result, what the true agenda of the ghosts visiting Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is, when Bonnie (Katerina Graham) will return, how things will develop between Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino), and that viewers should always dread character deaths...

... Q: What can you tease about the ghosts and what their agenda is?

PLEC: "What I can tease is that there definitely is an agenda happening with our ghosts that isn’t just, “Hey, I want to make amends with my loved ones.” As we get into the next episode and Bonnie returns, and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is holding this secret now, this person that’s been very easy to keep a secret from because she’s been away, a couple months have gone by and he hasn’t fessed up to it. So, at what point did it go from not wanting to let her in on something to an out-and-out lie? We’re going to see the emotional consequences of Bonnie bringing Jeremy back to life. It’s put a rift in her romantic relationship with him. And then, over the next couple episodes, our arc is to see what the ghostly and supernatural consequences are of that..."
