The Examiner and TV Guide has the scoop on episode 310 “The New Deal” of The Vampire Diaries.
Examiner:
Could you shed some light on Stefan’s plan? Also, what can you tell about Bonnie and Stefan working together? (@mus1c_) – Stefan is playing his plan close to his chest so far, hiding out with the coffins to keep them safe and hidden from Klaus. Bonnie, on the other hand, has been having dreams she doesn’t understand are actually foreshadowing visions of the coffins. She finds the actual, physical place where the coffins are hidden, only to find Stefan waiting there, as well. What deal they may strike up together remains to be seen, but Bonnie’s powers as a witch make her a rockstar in this town and on his show, and let’s just say, she’s not the only witch who hates Klaus and wants to help Stefan.
Any glimmer of hope for Stelena fans? – Well, on the surface, no. Elena (Nina Dobrev) flat out says that Stefan betrayed her, which doesn’t really allow for much wiggle room in her heart. But if you want to read between the lines, she is still willing to stand in front of him and appeal to the side of him that may care about her, or at least care about humanity in general. His answer doesn’t help matters, but he is a man on a mission right now, saying and doing anything he has to to complete his plan against Klaus. He may want to push Elena away to keep her safe, but when she learns that he saved Klaus really to save his brother, she’s bound to wonder if that means he still cares for her as much as he cares for his brother, right?

But life in Mystic Falls is never without complication and Elena will have quite a few things on her plate. First, there’s the fact that she killed Rebekah, and when the Original sister gets undaggered she’ll be pissed off, to say the least. Elena will also start to see how she’s just as capable of destruction as her vampire peers. “Elena realizes that in order to survive and in order to protect the people she loves the most, sometimes she has to behave more like Katherine than Elena, and sometimes a dark choice needs to be made, a violent act needs to be enacted and it’s troubling for her,” Plec says. “So who is she really at her core? She’s clearly not the girl-next-door do-gooder, she never has been.”
