It will never be mistaken for Lost, but The Vampire Diaries will soon have something in common with that ABC hit (aside from Ian Somerhalder).

Producer Kevin Williamson told TV Guide that the show will soon flashback to a major event from its characters' past. We'll let him set it up:

"We have another flashback episode scheduled. We're going to learn more about the night [Stefan and Damon] died."

Viewers will also discover something shocking about Katherine during this installment.
