Vampire Diaries Spoilers for Season 3, Episode 10, "The New Deal": How Many People Are Going to Die?

Vampire Diaries' Kat Graham Dishes on Tonight's OMG Return: "We're Gonna Come Back Hard!"

Finally. The Vampire Diaries is back!

And in case you're wondering, tonight's episode does contain that romantic OMG moment I hinted at weeks ago[about the epic kiss], along with some fantastic stuff for Bonnie (Kat Graham). Say it with me now: Holler.

We chatted with Kat herself, who promises tonight's episode "so great" you'll be "sitting in front of it like [the show] never went away…We're gonna come back hard!" So what about her relationship with Jeremy? Her mom coming into town? And a possible rift in her friendship with Elena (Nina Dobrev)? Read on…

First things first. Without revealing too much about what goes down tonight, you should know that Bonnie and Stefan will have a lot to do with each other, and that's something Kat is supremely happy about. "I was like, 'Oh yay, I get to work with Paul [Wesley]!' And then I started really thinking about how the character might feel…" And the repercussions on her relationship with Elena. Kat says she knows how the new Stefan-Bonnie development will affect her BFF-ery, but says coyly, "I'm not telling you!" You know what that probably means: Some shiznit's gonna go down, people. At least, that's our guess.

Also in the troubled-relationship zone: Bonnie and Jeremy, who already are on the splits, and have yet another (greater) obstacle coming their way. "She is going to be forced to deal with her feelings about him [spoiler omitted—we can't say!] and what that means to their relationship, if they still have a relationship or where they're at."

We'll soon meet Bonnie's mother, and Kat tells us she's "like a kid in a candy store" to be getting this backstory. "[Bonnie's] mother was out of her life for 15 years and…her father didn't really want to be involved in any of this mess. They've still yet to introduce him so them bringing in the mom before the father is for a specific reason and it really makes sense for the storyline and what they need right now."

When asked what she'd like most for Bonnie this season, Kat doesn't hope for a Jeremy/Bonnie reconciliation or Bonnie/Damon hookup (more on the future of that in the next chat, Bamon fans!), she just wants a nice, juicy, stake.

"I want to see Bonnie stake someone!" Kat tells us. "She's never staked anyone, she's kind of like done the energy thing, or she'll move somebody here or give them migraines, but I would love to just stake someone."

At the top of the list? "Klaus!"

Get in line, sister.

Cancel your evening plans and get ready: The Vampire Diaries returns tonight on the CW.

Vampire Diaries Preview: 'Payoff' for Damon and Elena, Love for Klaus, and Even More Originals!

Is there anything more torturous than waiting almost two months for a new episode The Vampire Diaries? If so, it's gotta be waiting the last few hours until the show finally returns tonight (The CW, 8/7c). But, executive producer Julie Plec promises, "It will be well worth [your] while" if you tune in. "There's a good little series moment."

Here, TVLine gets her to dish on what's ahead for Damon and Elena, a romance forKlaus, Tyler and Caroline's relationship, the introduction of Alaric's new leading lady and more!

DAMON & ELENA: AT LAST! | After several very close moments this season, how much longer can the will-they-or-won't-they pair go there without actually going there? "We're not in the business of the eternal tease that never goes anywhere," Plec hints. "That's not how we like to tell our stories." In fact, she promises that "ultimately, there will be a payoff" to the long-building sexual tension between Stefan's ex and his bro. But, she adds, the long-awaited moment, particularly "what it is and when it happens, may be surprising to people."

CUPID TARGETS… KLAUS?! | Does the big, bad hybrid have a soft, sentimental heart? As we previously teased, someone will catch Klaus' eye very soon. "What he does in pursuit of that someone will be an interesting and enjoyable part of the next chapter," previews Plec. But is being at the center of the vamp's attention a good thing? After all, that could also mean you're dinner. Plec laughs before assuring us the story is "an opportunity to see a side of Klaus that we haven't gotten to see yet, which is him being attracted to somebody else. … It's going to be lots of fun."

WAKE UP AND SMELL THE MANIPULATION | After some really "unfortunate" events, Tyler will "start to understand that the hold Klaus has over him is stronger than even he believed and that [the sire bond] comes at a very, very painful and ugly price," says Plec. "He is going to have to do something about it if he has any hope of winning [Caroline] back." And that's a big "if." Tyler's defense of Caroline, to put it mildly, "doesn't make Klaus very happy."

THE ORIGINAL FAMILY | Romance isn't the only thing on Klaus' mind. He'll be plenty busy trying to get his family back from Stefan, too. And not all of the vamps will be staying put in their caskets. "At least one of those daggered Originals is coming out of those coffins,"  teases Plec. "That will happen sooner than later." Plec already revealed that Rebekah will wake up angry. Now we also know that Klaus will be reuniting with his brothers, Kol (Out of the Blue's Nathaniel Buzolic) and Finn (La Femme Muskateer's Caspar Zafer). Their reappearance will trigger a big reveal as to when and why they were daggered. Not to mention, "Klaus, who has been very much in control of everything for quite a long time, suddenly now has multiple siblings to deal with," adds Plec. Good luck, buddy!

TVLine Shares Its 2012 Wish List for Grey's, FNL, Fringe, Vampire Diaries, Community and More

PAGING DR. FELL | The new doc (played by Paul Wesley's wife and One Tree Hill/Pretty Little Liars alum Torrey DeVitto) not only takes note of Alaric's ability to survive the impossible, but she's "definitely more than what she seems," hints Plec. As such, she'll turn up on the radar of… Damon! "Her interest in [Alaric] makes Damon concerned and suspicious about what she might be hiding," says Plec. So, in the spirit of bromance, Damon does some digging to find out if Dr. Fell "is worthy of any kind of relationship with his buddy. He doesn't necessarily like what he finds.

Zap2It Has these tasty TVD Spoilers for us:

1. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has a domestic side. We're almost nervous to admit it, but our big bad wolf has become one of the most complex characters on television right now. The way that his vulnerability and villainy tangle up together is fascinating to watch. With his father out of the picture, Klaus has big plans to reunite his remaining family members — complete with a dream house in the town where they last loved each other as humans. It's poetic, really.

2. Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) spirals out of control. We're talking old school Jeremy, minus the nail polish. He's flunking out of school, he got fired from his job… and things go from bad to worse when he starts hanging out with Tyler (Michael Trevino) again. Elena (Nina Dobrev) tries to intervene, but when she sees Jeremy in a gruesome confrontation with a hybrid, it becomes pretty clear that he's on the verge of losing any chance at happiness.

3. The romantic tension between Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Elena gets even more epic. The connection between them now runs deeper than the whole lusty, let's-stand-a-little-too-close-together-and-stare-at-each-other's-mouths thing that they've been doing for the last two years. While their loyalty to Stefan (Paul Wesley) may be threadbare at this point, it is there — particularly once Damon learns that Stefan only saved Klaus to spare Damon. Delena has a dilemma, y'all! Before the hour is over, one of them is going to make a major decision that has to do with their relationship and their relationship with Stefan.

4. A little clarity. We'll find out much more about siring and what it means to Tyler that Klaus is his sire — he'll even explain the key differences between compulsion and siring. (Sort of. Let's just say the line is a little blurry.) Tyler's loyalty is tested several times in the episode… and as far as Elena and Alaric (Matt Davis) are concerned, he definitely fails some of the tests. We're not sure this bodes well for his relationship with Caroline (Candice Accola), who isn't in this episode.

5. Say goodbye. One of our favorite characters is saying goodbye to Mystic Falls — possibly forever, in a scene that totally made us cry, and is making us cry again right now, just writing about it. (We know there are rumors out there that Damon does something unpleasant to force the character out of town — this isn't the case, Damon fans. Your boy is a true gentleman in this episode.)
