It's going to be a walk down memory lane on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 9. Even though our merry band of vampires grew up and moved on, the Miss Mystic Falls pageant remains.

Caroline's preparing a new crop of teens to take on the crown, and Sybil's along for the ride. (Of course she is.)

Still in search of the artifact, Sybil uses Damon's memory of his first dance with Elena to try and edge closer to finding the thing she seeks. 

Matt, meanwhile, has a run in with Seline, who seems to be on Team Good Guy. Can she be trusted? Eh. Probably more than her sister.

Bonnie and Enzo return from a romantic trip abroad, and Caroline's not very sure she likes what she sees when they get home. 

Prepare to relive "The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch" Friday, January 20, at 8p.m.
