The Vampire Diaries returned from hiatus last night with "After School Special," a 2013 premiere that focused on the wrath of Rebekah; the true feelings of Elena; and the revealed motives of Shane.

The episode also ended with Jeremy getting a bloody look at his immediate future, a storyline that is the focus of the official CW preview for next Thursday's "Catch Me If You Can." Watch now as Jeremy gets his hunt on:

Elsewhere on the upcoming installment:

• Kol will get in the way of his brother's plans.
• The Mayor and Sheriff will question Shane over his involvement in the Council's death.
• An unexpected enemy will cause Elena to come up with a dangerous plan.
