How will The Vampire Diaries wrap up November Sweeps?

With a party that doesn't go as planned and with what appears to be a brand new mysterious direction for the series.

The CW has released the official synopsis for "Dead Man on Campus," which will air on Thursday, November 21 and which teases a shift in The Vampire Diaries Season 5... away from Silas and toward a new enemy, perhaps.

Read through the synopsis now and see what we mean:

At Whitmore College, Elena and Caroline ecide it’s time to throw a big party, but their plans are interrupted when Jesse suddenly needs Caroline’s help. Finally, Damon makes a terrifying discovery about a secret society. 

Does this secret society have something to do with Dr. Maxfield and his history with Elena's father? That's our best guess.

Catch up now on The Vampire Diaries Season 5 Episode 4 and let us know yours!

UPDATE: The CW has released these photos from Dead Man on Campus.
