No one in Mystic Falls throws a soiree like Caroline Forbes! She’s putting her party skills to the test on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 7 with a Christmas Eve dinner we’re not soon to forget!
Stefan has one day with Caroline, so naturally they’re having a dinner party at the Salvatore house. Damon, who wasn’t invited, and was last presumed dead, having been staked through the heart by his former BFF Alaric, is very much alive.
Something in his deal with the Devil has made him even more immortal than before, apparently. Or Sybil’s mind controlling all of them and what we’re seeing is a dream and Damon is still dead. (That’s…yeah, that’s not correct.)
Anyway. It’s not a dinner party unless someone’s in danger, and these photos show that at least one guest might not be making it out alive.
Surprisingly absent? Bonenzo. But they’e probably too busy getting busy to say goodbye to Stefan. They do have a lot of lost time to make up for, after all.

Caroline and Stefan seem displeased with their newest guests. Probably because they know Damon’s attendance dramatically increases the chances someone at their dinner will die.

Sybil, a very unwanted guest at Caroline’s Christmas Eve dinner, isn’t helping engender any good will by rearranging Ms. Forbes decorations! Back off the tree, Sybil!
Donovan and His Dad – The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 7
So we can’t blame Matt for bringing his dad to dinner. He totally thought Damon was dead and the threat had passed. But is it ever really a good idea to bring a human to a dinner full of supernatural creatures?
Dad in Danger – The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 7
See? It’s never a good idea to bring a human to dinner. We’re really hoping Daddy Donovan has some secret family knowledge tucked away regarding how to kill the Devil. If he can survive long enough to divulge it.
