THIS POST IS A STICKY. KEEP SCROLLING FOR NEWER POSTS.
Way back in November, during the mid-season hiatus, we asked you to pick your favorite episodes of The Vampire Diaries Season 3 (so far). There were only nine episodes to pick from (Homecoming, Ordinary People and The Reckoning took top honors), so we think it’s finally time to look back at the season as a whole. Pick your THREE favorite episodes of The Vampire Diaries Season 3 and leave a comment to tell us why your favorites reign.

Yes, that’s right, folks. Bonnie Bennett does have parents, and tonight we finally get to meet the estranged Abby Bennett (not to be confused with our very own Abby, who was not Bonnie’s mother last time we checked. Though with this show, you never know). Alaric and Damon rekindle their bromance, whilst Stefan and Klaus squabble over those pesky coffins.

It’s family reunion time as the CW encores The Ties That Bind (EP312) tonight at 8/7c. This episode features the first appearance of guest star Persia White – and though the “ties that bind” are mostly metaphorical, there are some literal ones involved as well. New episodes of The Vampire Diaries will return on Thursday, March 15 with 1912 (EP316).

Previously on The Vampire Diaries, road trip chit-chat was at a minimum as Elena and Bonnie set out in search of help with their coffin conundrum. Klaus was in the mood for music, Stefan was getting all up in everyone’s business and Damon was doing his level best to make everything as awkward as possible. This episode had a lot going on all over the place, and it packed a big surprise right at the very end.
I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO SPOIL YOU.

Family takes all forms in Mystic Falls, and though the ties that bind these characters to each other are often touted as the most valuable and important force, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t fraught with all kinds of bad ju-ju. In The Ties That Bind, the relationships between family, friends, and romantic interests are tested, tried, and tentatively repaired.

THIS POST IS A STICKY. KEEP SCROLLING FOR NEW POSTS.
SHORT PROMO FOR BRINGING OUT THE DEAD (EP313)
EXTENDED PROMO FOR BRINGING OUT THE DEAD (EP313)
COMPLETE SONGLIST FOR THE TIES THAT BIND (EP312)
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight we finally get concrete proof: Bonnie Bennett does have a mother and was not, in fact, found in the Mystic Falls Pumpkin Patch! Bonnie and Elena are off on a roadtrip to meet her, and we’re sure that (like all roadtrips in this show) there’s bound to be trouble following them out of town.
Bad news, guys – there’s no episode airing next week, but the show will return the week after with Bringing Out The Dead.
Watch and then swing by here to rate the new episode of The Vampire Diaries. Spoilers are welcome in the comments, though if you want more in-depth discussion then head on over to the forums! (You’ll need to register, but it takes two seconds.)
And be sure to check out tonight’s brand new behind the scenes video at The Vampire Diaries Stakeout.
Quick guide to the poll options: Are ties mandatory for Council meetings? 5 ties = LOVE. 1 tie = MEH.

We’ve had a pretty good preview of tonight’s new episode of The Vampire Diaries from Michael Trevino, but now producers Julie Plec and Caroline Dries give us their take on what to expect at 8/7c on the CW.

Okay, pile on into the car: time for a road trip with Bonnie and Elena! And Damon has given them quite the topic of conversation for the long ride. Elsewhere, Damon wants to know more about Alaric’s new friend, and Tyler may be making a new friend – or at least ally – of his own. See how it all goes down tonight on The Ties That Bind (EP312) on the CW at 8/7c.
Note: A few of you have asked about why the CW is not currently available to DIRECTV customers in the Boston area. Here’s what DIRECTV has to say; unfortunately, we have no other information. We hope the station comes back for you soon! In addition, CW Baltimore is airing college basketball tonight. The Vampire Diaries and The Secret Circle will air there on Saturday at 8pm and 9pm respectively.
