“Vampire Diaries” fans are in for a treat. Following the release of some juicy season 5 premiere photos, the synopsis for episode 1, “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” has leaked online!

The episode description for the premiere was posted by Spoiler TV, and it teases some major drama to kick off the new season. As we previously reported, season 5 won’t pick up immediately where viewers left off – with Silas revealing his true self and throwing Stefan into a watery grave. Instead the CW series will pick up with the end of summer and the start of college.

Delena Update

How are Damon and Elena doing after confessing their love to each other at the end of season 4? Surprisingly fantastic! The pair spent the summer enjoying their “passionate relationship,” but unfortunately it’s going to come to an end when Elena heads off to nearby Whitmore College.

Jeremy’s Transition

If one person can flip flop between being alive and dead it’s Jeremy. Seemingly alive for good this time, Jeremy has moved into the Salvatore house and spent the summer “adjusting after his return from dead. And although the synopsis doesn’t reveal whether he’s having a hard time or not, leaked photos tell a different story.

College Days

The premiere will find Elena moving into the dorms at Whitmore with her new roommate, Caroline. The two long-time friends are supposed to be in a triple with their friend Bonnie and are surprised when “a student named Megan (guest star Hayley Kiyoko) shows up and announces that she will be sharing their dorm room.” Turns out that Caroline and Elena still have no idea that Bonnie is dead instead of travelling all summer.

Katherine’s Back

“Vampire Diaries” fans will remember that Elena force-fed the vampire cure to Katherine at the end of season 4. But the evil doppelganger is far from gone. Instead she’ll make an “unexpected appearance at the Salvatore house” to beg Damon to help her “now that she is human and vulnerable to her enemies.”

We don’t know how successful she’ll be with Damon, but a promo video does show some possible partnership between Katherine and Silas.

Matt And Rebekah’s Summer Abroad

Matt and Rebekah left Mystic Falls at the end of season 4 to travel Europe and now it appears that the twosome is back … and had a “wild summer.” Their trip included meeting a “Mysterious beauty” named Nadia … and it sounds like she may have followed them home.

The Silas/ Stefan Problem

It looks like Silas may have gotten away with impersonating Stefan for the whole summer, but someone is onto him – Elena. “Elena can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong with Stefan,” the synopsis teases. But all will be revealed when “Silas makes a terrifying appearance at the ‘End of Summer’ party in town square.”

You can catch the season 5 premiere of “The Vampire Diaries” when it airs on the CW on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. The show’s spinoff series, “The Originals,” will follow with a special airing of their premiere episode at 9 p.m.
