'Vampire Diaries' season 7 news, cast, spoilers: Damon to work with Lily
"The Vampire Diaries" will certainly be coming into a new season with a lot of changes. Especially with the departure of Nina Dobrev, the dynamics between the characters this season will definitely have a sense of change in the air. However, the long-time running series refuses to be shaken as it now shifts focus to the takeover of The Heretics and Lily Salvatore. With his mother running the show in Mystic Falls, Damon will seemingly resort to new tactics, one that he might be unfamiliar with for now.
According to Movie News Guide, an official synopsis for the second episode of season 7 has already been released, and apparently will be focused on Damon trying to make it work with her mom. It is quite noticeable that vampire families are the most dysfunctional, if the spin-off show "The Originals" will be the basis, perhaps it's the long history that they share. Whatever the case, it seems that "The Vampire Diaries" is not any different.
The synopsis goes, "When an impulsive decision by Damon (Somerhalder) threatens to unravel a carefully negotiated deal between Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Lily (Annie Wersching), he has no choice but to make amends with his mother before things spiral further out of control. However, Lily remains one step ahead and carries out a harsh plan that hits Damon where it hurts most. Elsewhere, after returning to Whitmore College, Alaric (Matt Davis) turns to Bonnie (Kat Graham) for help with a mysterious and potentially dangerous artifact he has obtained, while Matt (Zach Roerig) is forced into making a risky life or death decision. Meanwhile, Caroline (Candice King), who finds herself a pawn in Lilyand the Heretics' plan for retribution, uncovers a shocking detail about Stefan's past."
It no surprise that Damon almost ruined it for Stefan, as he does have a history of being wreckless when it comes to major deals. Especially now that he has grief pushing him to be more careless than ever, it's quite a risk to even involve Damon in any future plans at all.
For now, fans can wait and see how the story will unfold when the 7th year of "The Vampire Diaries" starts airing on Oct. 7 on The CW.
