We’ve seen the oh-so-pretty stills and now the CW has released the official synopsis for The Vampire Diaries: Dangerous Liaisons (EP314). The episode airs Thursday, February 9th. Highlight for spoilers or head over to the Episode Index:

SOME ENCHANTED EVENING — Elena is surprised to receive an invitation to a formal ball, and when Damon and Stefan hear the party is being hosted at Klaus’s newly renovated mansion, they both insist on attending the event with her. Caroline and Matt also receive invitations to the ball from unexpected admirers. At the elegant party, Elena learns of a horrifying plan that could lead to numerous deaths and she must decide who she can trust with her new information. Caroline discovers a side of Klaus no one would have suspected. Finally, after an evening of violence and dashed hopes, Damon finds a new way to cope.

The episode was directed by Chris Grismer and written by Caroline Dries.

    I guess Rebekah invites Matt to make up for standing him up at Homecoming…all the other originals are guys right so unless TVD goes all Watson-Holmes HoYay Waltzing on us..it’s got to be Rebekah.
    Prediction #2 – Damon’s coping will lead to waking up naked with the mystery woman..

    I don’t think I’ll be able to wait until February 9th for this one….

  • bonniebfan

    where is Bonnie?

  • Lana

    Really hope Elena doesn’t go smashing Damons heart in this episode, leading him to find whatever the new way to cope will be.

  • Anonymous

    February 9th?  Are you serious? 

  • Denise88

    I am guessing Klaus will invite Caroline and Rebekah will invite Matt. Not sure what the horrifying plan will be… and who does Elena end up trusting? Maybe Stefan? Way too soon to trust him again but I’m only guessing that because it seems like Elena will reject Damon in some way. I can definitely see Damon coping away in the bedroom!

  • Ellorockstar

    If Rebekah takes Matt that means she gets undaggered, and last time I checked Kalus redaggered her. Of course Klaus invites Caroline and I wonder what side of him she she going to see? He only has two sides a killer side and a I want my family back side, so what else could it be? Of course Elena is going to do something to Damon that’s pretty much why I don’t like her 90% of the time. The only good thing she did that was amazing was when she stabbed herself. I hope we see Katherine soon because I miss her. Can’t wait for February to roll around, might be the best episode so far

    you’re right it has something to do with it… oh damon…

  • Lana

    Probably still with her Mum, working on things.

    I thought that the D/E angst was over for a while! Now I see it was just the calm before the storm. It’s about to start returning in shitloads, I think. I just hope Damon’s hopes aren’t dashed because of Stefan and Elena making up. I honestly believe and respect they will at one point – but 3 episodes after he almost drove her off THE bridge and turned her? That’s terrible, ridiculous, and does absolutely nothing for Elena’s character. What right does Stefan even have to INSIST on escorting Elena? Whatever. So now I guess my optimism is dead – Damon probably WILL have slept with whoever he wakes up next to. Katherine is said to not be in this episode, and he wakes up next to a vampire, so we HAVE to assume it’s Rebekah (another one of Stefan’s exes, dammit). Caroline’s got too much going on right now for it to be her. No way. And Elena better trust Damon with whatever she learns, unless it endangers him! He’s about the only one she can really trust right now besides Alaric.
    I’m curious about this new side of Klaus – REALLY curious. I think I might finally be warming up to him. A lot.
    And writers, if you’re going to sink the Delena ship yet again (how cruel of you to lead us on), can you please at least give us back Elijah? That would definitely console me a bit. No, a LOT. 

  • Lana

    I’m sure I read something where Julie Plec said most of the 2nd half of the season would be about whether or not Elena does love Damon. Surely they won’t kill that question only a few episodes after they’ve finally kissed.

  • http://twitter.com/TVDStelenaMS ♥KlausThePsychopath♥

    Wait a minute, so ELENA got an invitation but Damon and Stefan didn’t get one??? hmmm…

  • il_isek

    I’m guessing Klaus invites Caroline, Rebekah invites Matt, and as for Elena…maybe Elijah? (Since the other three brothers are likely to be undaggered by 3×13)

  • Denise88

    I agree, I think Stefan and Elena will make up at one point but I hope it won’t be this soon either. I hope Elena has more self-respect than that! However, I’m guessing Damon’s hopes are crushed because something will happen between Stefan and Elena. Maybe Stefan and Elena will share a moment of understanding in this episode, and Elena will reject Damon because she still has hope for Stefan and she still feels something for him. I feel like the rejection will be a big deal if that is what causes him to sleep with someone. I don’t think this means there is no hope for D/E though. I’m sure Elena’s opinion on Damon waking up next to a hot vampire will include her being jealous. Since we are only on season 3, I’m sure there will be plenty of angst between them before they get together (if they do- which I’m hoping for!)

    I am very curious to see who Elena ends up trusting. If Damon is in danger, I thought maybe Elena would turn to Stefan with the information of the “horrifying plan.” She could be counting on Stefan’s love for Damon to keep him safe if it turns out he is in danger from one of Klaus’ plans.

    Well, I like Bonnie too. But I think she is heavy featured in the next episode, so this ep. is going to be light Bon.  I say that because of tweets by Jo Mo  and Kat G.

  • eve

    Stefan and Damon going as Elena’s date…should be fun.   As much as I find Klaus and Caroline interesting…just don’t want Klaus to go all lovey dovey.  I like  Klaus being a badass.(I’ll probably change my mind)  As much as I would love for Stefan and Elena to get back together…I don’t think it will happen.  Maybe she’ll just want to be  single for a while.  Damon waking up next to Dr. Fell?

    Looking forward to Klaus’s Formal Ball at his newly renovated mansion along with all the gorgeous ladies in their beautiful gowns, handsome men in their tuxedos, the dancing, the violence, horrifying plans and dashed hopes. I would not even begin to guess how this one turns out, but it sure won’t be boring.

  • KatAttack

    Dashed hopes AGAIN… oh, Damon. :-/

  • Henrita

    Episode of dancing and no bonnie. TYPICAL. ugh

  • il_isek

    She’s probably off bonding with her mother

  • http://twitter.com/yasmeenshalaby yasmeensh.

    as much as i loved the stills of this episode , i would love nothing but to convince myself that when ” Damon finds a new way to cope . ”  it’s going to be with Elena , but i have this feeling it will involve Sage and a bed , and thats how we see someone from Damon’s past and how   Elena gets upset .

    just mu personal guess :) no need for anyone to agree with me 

  • Anonymous

    She not invited.  There must be a reason people that Klaus doesn’t want a witch at his party.  No magic to stop murder.

  • Anon

    Ouch. Poor Damon. I knew he’d only end up getting hurt from this. Looks like Elena is going to trust Stefan over him, poor boy.

    But I am totally on board with him getting naked with someone who’s not Elena :)

  • Anonymous

    I really not a shipper girl so I dont have strong feelings about Klaus and Caroline. And I have a strong belief that Elena and Caroline will end up sleeping with every man on the show, while Bonnie will get nothing as usual.  And as said before, the Aunt Jenna thing is the only thing I cant forgive Klaus for now.  But I am trying to get my head around the fact that Caroline broke up with Tyler because he is controlled by Klaus, soooooooooo now she is going to start dating Klaus? Are the writers on crack? I could have accepted this more if Caroline would have been just seduced away from Ty or just cheated on him. But don’t make the girl go on and on about how cant believe that Ty is loyal to Klaus and then go and start dating him?

    CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! Stefan, Elena, Damon…things are getting interesting!

    Dr fell is not a vampire….. D word is that he sleeps with a “sexy vampire” apparently……. Awwwwww, just as delena was starting to form, this happens……. Ihope it’s not some big Stefan Elena make out session otherwise I’m seriously gonna puke my guts out……

  • Annie

    It would make no sense to me if Elena choose to trust Stefan over Damon, 3 eps. after he almost drove her off a bridge. I feel like we’re over the Elena-Damon trustbond by now. We’ve already established that she trusts him (ep.9 for ex.), it would’nt make sense otherwise, not after everything they’ve been through.

  • Sushila

    Call me crazy but my hopes for an “unexpected kiss” between Stefan&Elena are growing… *_*

  • El

    I’m not a shipper but I hope Elena doesn’t take Stefan back 3 episodes after the bridge incident…I’m fine with them getting back together at some point but right now would be awful for her character :( She should be single for a while till she sorts her feelings out..

  • Anonymous

    I really can’t wait to see the looks on a couple of faces when Elena shows up in her formal ball attire……something tells me this is going to mirror 1864 for the Salvatore boys all over again. Dashed hopes for Damon? Poor fellow, he can’t catch a break…..but a new way to cope? So now we’re getting “dashed hope sex”….wonder who the lucky lady will be? Whomever it is, I hope the little green eyed monster called jealousy shows up in Elena……that could be what kick starts her into figuring out what she feels for the boys.

    But I do wonder, what horrifying plan  has Elena learned of? Is it a plan from the Salvatore side of things? That could be why she can’t trust Damon with the info. But I do wonder, what does she do about it?

    What new side of Klaus I wonder? Since those two killed the scene in Our Town, I’m really interested in seeing their interactions.

    Looking forward to the beautiful dresses on our girls and our boys in their tuxes. There’s just something about a formal ball….almost like a period piece in present day!!!!! And the ep title….Dangerous Liaisons, well, that kinda says it all, don’t you think?

  • Yetzimileth

    yeah i believe that is gonna be his way of coping and i think is gonna be because there is gonna be a big fight between damon and elena

  • Lana

    Completely agree. Maybe by the end of the season, her character might be in a place where she’ll be able to figure her feelings out and be with someone again, but now would be a really bad time.

  • Anonymous

    I see some comments about Elena and trust issues, a lot of people speculating if she is going to trust Damon or Stefan, etc. but that’s not what I think they meant. They clearly say she doesn’t know who to trust with the information. So this only means she knows something big and is probably afraid to tell Damon because, well we know Damon doesn’t always have the best approach to solving the problems x) OR it might be some dangerous information that you’re better off not knowing…

  • mary.m155

    I think—-Stefan and Elena will make up for a couple of days..she will be like ooooooo this isn’t right and then run to Damons door and grab him and start kissing him…and then they will be together..happy ever after…

    But who knows…it could happen like that…i just don’t see how Stefan and Elena can be together again..it just would not work..

  • Emeri

    This sounds RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME.

  • Emeri

    Yup, that’s my guess, haha.

  • Zara

    The writers are not leading anyone on, Delena is in slow progress (as it always has been since S1) as is Stelena atm (after all the crazy stuff that has happened in S3 so far) since I don’t think she’ll get back with him but have a mutual understanding and I’m guessing Damon will be jealous of Stefan/Elena and gets the wrong side of stick and then does something reckless like sleep with Rebekah/Katherine or some other random vamp chick. Then, it will be Elena’s chance to be jealous but it will probably be her fault to a certain extent. I don’t know. But I think Stefan NEEDS a reason to go, he can’t just crash the party since Klaus will be onto him and his plan and/or Stefan wants to make it up to Elena because he feels bad/Elena is a part of his plan. Who knows but I can’t wait for this episode and the 3×16 but the rest I’m sure will be excellent as is every episode.

    I miss Stelena, so if this dance is as close as we’re going to get since I believe the rest of the season will be about Delena and their conflicts involving jealousy etc. So be it. I couldn’t care less what happens with Damon (I love the BA Damon, not the one that fawns over Elena 24/7) and his petty jealousy (Elena is still not his to be jealous about and vice versa – I just hope that Delena is out of the way quick – it’s boring me tbh and I’d rather see Matt and Elena together instead since they’ll be more conflict between the life she wants but Delena is inevitable – one of the things that is appealing about Delena is their slow-burn and ‘sexual tension’ and if they do it too quick, they’ll just be like any couple and the spark will die out so I hope Delena happens at the end of season as a cliff-hanger kind of thing and because if it is too slow, the same will happen so it has to be in the middle)

    Uhm, wow. Let’s agree to disagree. 

  • Sasha

    I love it when TVD goes formal.

  • jazz

    The audacity of Bonnie attending a ball.  The writers will not have it, sadly!

  • Jazz

    For once I would love to see Bonnie in a gown too :(

  • Mal C

    I don’t know why so many of you think Elena shouldn’t forgive Stefan after only three episodes. She usually forgives Damon within one or two episodes for all the things he’s done (killing Jeremy, forcing Elena to drink his blood, turning Vicki into a vampire, not to mention what he did to Caroline etc)
    Why wouldn’t she forgive Stefan?

  • Mata

    What are you talking about? It took Elena the entirety of the second season to forgive Damon for killing Jeremy, and him being on his deadbed to forgive the feeding of the blood.

  • Mal C

    The entirety of the second season? lol what? Maybe you need to go back and watch the second season. Or look up “entirety” in the dictionary, I dunno.

    By the 4th episode she felt comfortable enough with him being in her house, and in the 5th episode she tells him she saw the Damon who was her friend. After that they’re back to normal like nothing happened.

    But even then, that’s just one example. How long did it take her to forgive him for all the other things? I mean, there have been so many I even forgot a few. Like trying to kill Bonnie.

  • mary.m155

    Yep ur right. I think that there has just been so much built up between Damon and elena, and its making those fans want to see it happen! And when it seems like she is just going to run back to Stefan, is just kinda frustrating. But me as a total delena fan…im kinda thinking it would be cool to see stelena again…I can’t make up my mind.

  • Cherrie

    I understand why Damon would want to attend the ball with Elena (to keep her safe) but why Stefan? Or is it just to take down Klaus? Or is he finally showing that he cares? 

    I hate that last sentence about Damon. Finds a new way to cope? He’s obviously not drinking or killing people. If he sleeps with someone it’s also not new since he did the same with Rose & Andie. Unless the “new” thing, or in this case vampire, is Rebekah. WTF?! My Delena heart hurts! 

    I don’t think S/E are back together just yet (because at one point they will be) but I just hope that’s not why Damon his heartbroken. Also isn’t it too soon for Elena to forgive Stefan? It took Elena like at least 8 or 9 episodes to forgive Damon last season for the whole Jeremy thing! It was NOT after 2 episodes! I think by 2×08 (Rose) she forgave him because he helped save her. It took awhile! So I doubt she would forgive Stefan that quickly. 

    I read a spoiler that an unexpected kiss would happen & I go with either Klaroline or Stelena. For some reason I think it’s Klaroline. It would make more sense. 

    Although this episode doesn’t seem good for Delena or Damon fans I am so looking forward to it! It reminds me of Masquerade (2×07) & that has to be definitely one of my favorite episodes on TVD. So yeah, this episode looks like it will be amazing! 

  • Mal C

    I can commiserate. I want something to happen between Damon and Elena, too; otherwise it’s not much of a love triangle.

    I just think it’s weird how some fans have a really selective memory.

  • Natalie

    I think ‘date’ is a wrong word. They’re not gonna be in an actual relationship, that would be ridiculous. All we know is that she’s gonna be HIS love interest, not the other way around. And what I love about their story is the fact we’re gonna see more of Klaus’s human side. Of course she’s not gonna fall for him, but it will be great to see him falling for her. At some point, she might develop some feelings for him, but who knows. There are a lot of episodes left this season. All I know is that the writers know what they’re doing and we should trust them. :)
