The Vampire Diaries Episode 3.18 Photos: Return of the Original Dead in ‘The Murder of One’

We have 19 new photos from The Vampire Diaries March closer, “Murder for One.”

The photos have a few Spoilers in them regarding character returns so if you haven’t already caught the spoiler, turn away.

It looks like the war between the Originals and the Mystic Falls’ vampires will be heating up by the end of March. This photo below shows Elena arming herself with a massive crossbow; its reminiscent of the scene when Tyler and Jeremy were practicing with the crossbow. It was also the beginning of the end for Jeremy’s character. After using the crossbow on a hybrid that was attacking Elena, a fearless Jeremy chopped off the hybrid’s head. Later on, Elena had Jeremy mind wiped and sent away.

We also have some interesting photos of Damon and Rebekah. Their strictly sexual relationship has turned into an S&M case as pictured below. In truth, she’s probably torturing him for doing something against the Originals, but who knows when Damon’s involved.

[Possible Spoiler]

Finally, we have a photo of Casper Zafer as Finn. He disappeared with his mother, when Damon turned Bonnie’s mom into a vampire. However, it looks as though he’s “alive” and working a new angle in the Mystic Falls saga.

“The Murder of One” was directed by Miller Tobin and written by Caroline Dries. This episode airs on March 29.

Story:
Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) focus a new project that will bring them closer to destroying Klaus (Joseph Morgan), and they quickly bring Elena (Nina Dobrev), Caroline (Candice Accola) and Matt (Zach Roerig) in on the plan. After Klaus threatens someone close to Bonnie (Kat Graham), she has no choice but to work on the spell he needs. Meanwhile, Klaus and Rebekah (guest star Claire Holt) find the perfect motivator to convince Finn (guest star Caspar Zafer) to cooperate with them, but Rebekah is more interested in her own brutal plan to take revenge on Damon. Stefan’s emotional turmoil leads him to a dangerous confrontation with Klaus and, later, to a heartbreaking moment with Elena.
