Tyler is officially a werewolf on The Vampire Diaries, but anyone that watched "By the Light of the Moon" knows it wasn't easy.

The same can be said for Michael Trevino himself, who tells Entertainment Weekly:

“I had to warn my parents, mainly my mom. I let them know it’s pretty intense, pretty graphic. I was on the phone with my mom, and I could hear in her voice that she almost had to change the channel."

But enough about the past. We all know that Vampire Diaries fans want their spoilers. For example: are Tyler and Caroline headed for romance?

"They can both understand each other because they have this supernatural element to them," Trevino says. "I think he wants to be with her, and he cares for her. She stayed there with him for as long as she could, and he knows that. I’d like to think he wants to have a relationship."

What about Jules? What can the actor tell us about the motivations of his uncle's Damon-hating friend?

"We can trust Jules. Jules has motives. She’s coming to Mystic Falls to look over Tyler. She wants Tyler and she needs him. For what, I can’t say. But she needs Tyler and wants to take him under her wing."

In closing, Trevino says all won't be peachy keen for Tyler and Caroline. There is the matter of certain facts she's been withholding from him, after all.

"He’s gonna find out [about other vampires] really soon, and that’s just a whole different situation than with Tyler and his feelings toward Caroline once he finds out she lied."
