Tonight’s the night that The Vampire Diaries fans have been waiting for all summer – it’s back! Season 3 starts off with Elena’s 18th birthday. Goodness, what an “interesting” life the girl has had so far. So, is her boyfriend still missing and does she still care, or has Damon neatly stepped into his brother’s shoes? Plus the whole dead-former-girlfriends thing, what the heck’s going on with Caroline and Tyler, and more…

And finally, SPOILER ALERT, here’s the synopsis of tonight’s episode, “The Birthday,” courtesy of IMDb:
On the morning of Elena’s 18th birthday, Caroline is busy planning a party, but Elena is focused on searching for any clues that might help her discover where Stefan is. Damon is also searching for Stefan, while trying to protect Elena and keep her from doing anything that would draw Klaus’ attention. Meanwhile, Klaus and Stefan are busy trailing a werewolf named Ray Sutton. Now working at the Mystic Grill along with Matt, Jeremy is struggling to understand why he keeps seeing the ghosts of Vicki and Anna since he was brought back to life by Bonnie’s magic. Meanwhile, Alaric does his best to watch over Elena and Jeremy, while dealing with his grief over Jenna’s death. Finally, Caroline and Tyler face a new and unexpected challenge.
The Vampire Diaries Season 3, starring Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley, premieres tonight, September 15, at 8/7c on The CW.
