On this week's new episode of Vampire Diaries, the Salvatore brothers bond. Sort of. Kind of. Okay, not really.

It's difficult to get too close when one is trying to poison the other; and one implies that his goal is to steal the other's girlfriend.

This will all become more clear after viewing the clip below. Check out the following scene from "Family Ties."

Meanwhile, Candice Accola spoke to Seventeen this week about the series and about her character of Caroline.

Read excerpts from the interview at the jump.

On similarities to Caroline: She's sassy, she likes to say things for the shock factor sometimes, when she's talking about boys or anything really. If she can throw in that funny one-liner, then she'll totally go for it, and that's kind of my weakness too: I like to say things that maybe I shouldn't.

On this series vs. other vampire-themed show/movies: With The Vampire Diaries, it's not just a tease, especially with the relationships. You're not sitting there going, 'God, I wish they'd get it over with and kiss!' There's no teasing, they jump right into the action.

On the hottest guy: All the boys are just so gorgeous. Let's call it like it's day-of-the-week underwear and one's for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Each boy is like that. There's one for every day of the week... there's no need for just one to win!
