Why is Elena feeding on Damon’s blood such a big deal?
“That’s a little bit of a shout-out to the books, but also just to vampire folklore in general. If you look at any of it metaphorically, it’s a very intimate exchange of bodily fluids. So you can read into that what you will,” she says. So is it fair to equate it to vampire sex, or should we not go that far? “Well, it’s like vampire naked cuddling,” Plec says, laughing. Does it come with any side effects? “No,” she says. “Elena doesn’t know what she’s doing, but Damon damn well knows what she’s doing. That’s really Stefan’s point: It meant something to him, which means it means something to me.”

When we will find out the meaning of Connor’s arm tattoo, which was visible to Jeremy but not to Matt?
“We will know what that tattoo is and what it means by the end of episode 4,” she says.

Did the final scene with ghost Alaric sitting at his grave with a grieving Damon make her cry, too?
“Yes. I cried when we pitched it. I cried when it was written. I cry every time I see it,” she says. “I miss Matt Davis so much, as does everybody on the show. This was our opportunity to just show him some of that love, and tell him he will never be forgotten and that he always has a home in Mystic Falls.” Does she anticipate us seeing Alaric again? “I have no idea. But it sure would be nice.”
