Are you still processing the cliffhanging conclusion from last night's return episode of The Vampire Diaries? Take your time... wrap your mind around it... ponder the possibilities...

And then prepare for a new installment next Thursday!

Titled "Break on Through," it will feature Alaric seeking medical condition for his ring-related killing spree; Sage returning to present day Mystic Falls (and, based on the following trailer, possibly getting into a threesome with Damon and Rebekah); and Abby trying to adjust to that whole vampire thing.

Get your first look at various upcoming scenes now via the U.S. trailer and Canadian teaser for "Break on Through."
