Spoiler From Zap2It - 14th January 2013

At the end of the Christmas episode, Klaus viciously slaughtered twelve hybrids -- but, even more shockingly, he drowned Tyler's mother, Carol Lockwood, in the town square. If it seems like the war between Tyler and Klaus has reached its climax, though, hold onto your hat! Things are going to continue to escalate and get much, much worse between these two before they get better, if they get better. With Klaus potentially putting Mystic Falls in the rear-view mirror next season, it leaves us to wonder if Mystic Falls is big enough for the both of them.
