We’ve been trumpeting the Lockwood aspects of Bad Moon Rising on Twitter all week, so we thought we’d remind everyone that tonight marks guest star Courtney Ford’s debut on The Vampire Diaries (8/7c on the CW!). We don’t know much about “Vanessa Monroe” or how long she’ll be around, but that’s a rather flirty look between her and Alaric, no? Maybe he’s asking her about her dissertation. (Has he asked Jenna about her dissertation?) Gosh, he’s so sensitive.
But, really, who are we kidding? It’s a LOCKWOOD TAKEOVER, y’all. Tighten up those chains as you study up on some episode mythology:

The CW has uploaded a webclip for Bad Moon Rising (EP203), this week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries. For those who’ve been asking “Where’s Alaric?”, REJOICE! Our favorite vampire-slaying History teacher is back! Also, is he going to have to pull this car over?

Why do we get the feeling next week might just blow things wiiiiiiiide open? In addition to Mason Lockwood in chains (no, it’s okay if you need a moment), we also have Elena dropping quite the interesting mythology tidbit during the Bad Moon Rising teaser promo. Lucky Americans can watch the (downright haunting) extended promo on the CW site; everyone else can take a peek at the bite-sized promo below.
UPDATE: Track used in trailer:

SHORT & EXTENDED PROMOS FOR BAD MOON RISING (EP203)
COMPLETE SONGLIST FOR BRAVE NEW WORLD (EP202)
After a whole Summer without the Vampire Diaries, waiting for one week wasn’t so bad now, was it? The Return packed one hell of a punch, throwing surprises at us from all directions, and treating us to a deliciously wicked performance from Nina Dobrev as Katherine. Brave New World looks set to shock us even more, with a cliffhanger from last week being almost as tense as the one we were left with in the season finale. What does Katherine have planned next? Will Caroline deliver her message to the boys? And – most importantly – will Alaric be in this episode?

We know what you’re thinking: You haven’t recovered from The Return yet, have you? We are so with you. But that being said – new Vampire Diaries tonight at 8/7c on the CW! We’re gonna keep the Big News safely under spoiler-cuts for a little longer, so here is our vague summation of tonight’s episode – Carnival! Fire! Threats of violence! Actual violence! Arm-wrestling violence! And it’s a “brave new world” for somebody, we’re certain! So grab the popcorn and settle in for what’s bound to be yet another wild ride. Don’t worry, we think the show will bring the nuts. (P.S. Feel better, Nina!)
Have some tasty Brave New World refreshment!

COMPLETE SONGLIST FOR THE RETURN (EP201)
EXTENDED PROMO FOR BRAVE NEW WORLD (EP202)
The last images we were left with on the Vampire Diaries back in May were of Damon kissing Katherine=pretending-to-be-Elena, Jeremy overdosing on pills and blood, and Elena mere seconds away from walking in on Katherine ending John’s career as a hand model. It’s been a long, hard Summer, but now we’re all about to find out exactly what happens next. We don’t know about you, but we’re excited to the point of a severe case of nerves at this point.

Quick guide to the poll options: We admit it. We’re a pair of evil little bunnies, and we couldn’t resist paying homage to that striking imagery of John’s severed digits. 4 fingers and 1 thumb = LOVE. 1 finger = MEH.

Longest four months EVER, am I right? Put away those smelling salts, Vampire Diaries fans (on second thought, better keep them close by) – our show makes The Return (not “a” but “THE”) to the CW TONIGHT at 8/7c. And, by all accounts, the Season 2 premiere is gonna light a fire under every character and plot line this drama has going, and that’s like a bajillion. We could list all of the unanswered questions here, but why bother? You’ve memorized Founder’s Day and the rest of Season 1 – did we mention it’s been four months since the last new Vampire Diaries? – and now it’s time to sit back and take it all in. It’s a new chapter, so – ENJOY!
WATCH A TWO MINUTE CLIP FROM TONIGHT’S PREMIERE, VIA iTUNES!
The Salvatore Boarding House has a fun thing going: #VDBingo. Check it out.
New CW series Nikita, starring Maggie Q, premieres in its post-Vampire Diaries timeslot tonight. I really liked this pilot and have hopes for the series – give it a shot. It’s not what you’d expect from the promos. It’s way better.

And thanks to @VDSource (via Vampire Diaries Italia) for pointing out this “Next Thursday” CW promo for The Return. Nothing new here, just that we can’t get enough of Katherine. And we like reminding everyone that Vampire Diaries Season 2 starts THIS THURSDAY!
