"Thank you to all involved in the decision-making process for giving me the opportunity to do this-I am so grateful. I'll do my very verry very best not to screw it up," wrote Somerhalder on his Instagram while posting a photo of the script page.
Working along with Somerhalder in this episode is Brian Young and Caroline Dries as co-writer.
It has to be noted though that this won't be the first wherein a TVD cast member directs an episode. Previously, actor Paul Wesley, who played as Damon's elder brother, Stefan, had done a directorial job in for the show's 18th episode on its 5th season titled "Resident Evil."
This was followed after with the 6th season's 11th segment titled "Woke Up with A Monster" which is also scheduled to hit the small screens next year.
According to spoiler reports, the Paul Wesley-helmed episode will reveal what Kai (Chris Wood) wants from Elena (Nina Dobrev) after he knocked her out in the ending scene of the mid-season finale "Christmas Through Your Eyes."
On the other hand, not much has been known for Somerhalder's episode other than its release date mentioned above.
