‘Vampire Diaries’ Scoop: Rebekah Gets ‘Somber’ News — Is Someone Dying?

damon and rebekah

There’s never any shortage of bad news in Mystic Falls — usually it’s along the lines of “Your relative was killed by something sexy and supernatural” — but Rebekah (Claire Holt) is rarely on the receiving end of it. That’ll change on the Feb. 21 episode of The Vampire Diaries when Damon (Ian Somerhalder) “relays somber news to Rebekah … and is surprised at her reaction.”

I know this episode is still weeks away, and plenty will happen between now and then, but let’s try to put our heads together and figure out what “somber news” Damon could have for her. Is it that her beloved bro Kol (Nathaniel Buzolic) is dead — again? Or could it be that they’ve already given Elena (Nina Dobrev) the cure, crushing Bex’s own dreams of becoming human?

Let’s not forget, Nina recently revealed to E! Online that we can expect “Shocking. Bloody. Death.” Either way, I’m pretty sure “somber” never means “good.”

5 More Spoilers From ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 4, Episode 15

1. Caroline (Candice Accola) is “worried about Elena’s state of mind” when she returns to Mystic Falls with Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen).

2. Also worried about Elena, Stefan “reaches out” for help from Meredith (Torrey DeVitto) and Matt (Zach Roerig).

3. Damon and Rebekah “learn an unexpected bit of recent history” from Vaughn (Charlie Bewley).

4. Bonnie (Kat Graham) fills the group in on Shane’s (David Alpay) plan, and “everyone is horrified.”

5. Damon tries to help Elena, but she ends up devising her own plan — which will obviously fail, because it’s Elena’s plan.
