It's time for another hint.

Having already viewed this Thursday's winter premiere of The Vampire Diaries, I'm spending the week offering one clue per day to readers dying for information on what's to come.

First, I teased that someone would be leaving Mystic Falls. Then, I revealed that a key secret would be revealed at one point during the episode. Now, for spoiler #3...

Characters will revisit a former setting.

It's a place viewers have seen before and one that will play an important role going forward because.... ahhh, you almost got me! Sorry, I can't say anymore at the moment.

But you only need to wait two more days to find out the answer. And you can debate the possibilities with fellow fans right now!
