So the Original children now have a Mother of a problem, and Damon has a new (HOT!) notch in his bedpost. These were the two biggest developments on last night's "Dangerous Liaisons."

On a somewhat slower episode of The Vampire Diaries, they set the stage for next week's "All My Children," the final installment before the show goes on hiatus again for a few weeks. So, what can fans look forward to during that hour?

• Elena being "pissed" about Damon and Rebekah (Ramon?), according to Julie Plec, as news of that hook up moves quickly through Mystic Falls.
• Bonnie and her mother to be recruited by Esther in her mission to off Klaus and company.
• A full moon.
• And, based on the following promo, a major threat against Elena's life.

Check out the preview now and, don't get your hopes up Forwood fans: still no sight of Tyler. He won't return until the spring...
