In next week’s episode of
The Vampire Diaries, Elijah is
back. “There’s been a lot of talk about what I’m returning for and to
do,” Daniel Gillies says. The episode’s synopsis simply states that
Elena has a “surprising encounter” with Elijah in Pennsylvania, where
she and Rebekah are headed in their search for Katherine and the cure.
“All I can say is tune in,” Gillies says, “because Elijah’s gonna shock
and possibly even horrify a few. In fact, I’ll say he’s gonna horrify
many. But franky, I don’t care. I think what he’s doing is wonderful.”
Exec producer Julie Plec is even more vague: “The first glimpse of
Elijah, your heart explodes, you’re so happy to see him. And he is
quintessential Elijah, dressed in his beautiful suit with his lovely
demeanor, and, as always, trying to find ways to keep Klaus in his place
and keep his family together.” (That’s also what Elijah will be doing
in the April 25 episode, which serves as the backdoor pilot for the Originals spinoff.)
