Entertainment Weekly caught up with Julie Plec and Michael Trevino to discuss Homecoming (EP309), tonight’s mid-season finale of The Vampire Diaries. Julie gives a heads up on who will not be in tonight’s episode (stay strong, Jeremy and Alaric fans) and Stefan’s still-ambiguous motivations, while Michael teases Tyler’s complicated loyalty to Klaus and how that will affect his relationship with Caroline. Oh, and if you’re worried about cliffhangers?

In general, tonight’s episode is more about setting the stage for the show’s January return than leaving us with cliffhangers. “Rather than makin’ you suffer with ‘Oh god, what’s gonna happen?’, it’s more like, ‘Hey, this is the next part of the roller coaster that you’re about to jump on,’” Plec says. “So it will very much get the audience talking about the next chapter.”

And The Futon Critic‘s Jim Halterman chats with Vampire Diaries Executive Producer Julie Plec about the ongoing storylines of Season 3, closing out “the ghost chapter,” Stefan/Elena/Damon, Bonnie and Jeremy, Tyler, Alaric, the Originals, and standards for a Vampire Diaries villain.

Julie Plec: The definition of villain for us has always been someone who is willing to do the most extreme things in the most extreme circumstances without care for what it does to other people. But always driven by their own particular need, want or desire. Nobody is just evil for the sake of being evil and some of the fun that we like to be able to have on the show is exploring why people do what they do and act like who they act like.
