Sadly, next week is the mid-season finale of The Vampire Diaries. I always dread this time of year as all of my favorite shows break my heart by going on hiatus.

In the episode, entitled 'Homecoming', Damon gets himself into trouble while trying to stop Klaus, Rebekah reveals some shocking info to Elena and Tyler acts like a jerk (we presume). My Morning Jacket will also perform! Check out the synopsis, preview and some promo stills.

Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) are both shocked at Tyler’s (Michael Trevino) behavior throughout the evening. The night takes a surreal turn when Klaus (Joseph Morgan) puts his latest plan into action. Determined to outsmart Klaus, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) enters into a dangerous partnership, leading to a terrifying turn of events. The band My Morning Jacket performs in the party scenes. Paul Wesley and Kat Graham also star. Joshua Butler directed the episode written by Evan Bleiweiss.
