Elena’s biological mother, Isobel, will blow back into town next Thursday, April 29th and again on an “explosive ep” on May 6th on the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” in an episode aptly titled “Isobel”. So far, we know that Isobel, played by Mia Kirshner, had Elena (Nina Dobrev) when she was young and before she married Alaric Saltzman (Matthew Davis) and before she was turned by Damon (Ian Somerhalder).
Boy, I don’t think anyone will be prepared for Isobel to impact Mystic Falls. What can Alaric say to her after all this time thinking that she was dead and finding out that their life together was too normal for her? Why would Isobel want an audience with the daughter that she had made specific preparations to discourage Elena from seeking her out? From the looks of this not yet released promo poster, Isobel and Elena won’t have a happy sunshine reunion.
