FLASHBACKS TO THE 1960s – Stefan (Paul Wesley) tries to distract Elena (Nina Dobrev) from obsessing about the state of her relationship with Damon (Ian Somerhalder), while Bonnie (Kat Graham) does her best to be realistic about how the changes happening on the Other Side will affect her existence as the Anchor. Damon demands the Traveler knife, forcing Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig) to admit it has gone missing. Through flashbacks to election night, 1960, Enzo (guest star Michael Malarkey) reveals to Elena, Stefan and Bonnie that he has learned what happened to his long-lost love, Maggie (guest star Heather Hemmens), and then, with the unwilling help of Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (guest star Chris Brochu), things take an ugly turn. Trying to calm Enzo down, Damon intervenes, but his words cause Enzo to make a desperate and dangerous decision that leads to a violent confrontation with Stefan. Finally, Markos (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) enlists Sloan’s (guest star Caitlin McHugh) help in a ritual designed to break an ancient curse against the Travelers. Tyler (Michael Trevino) is forced to play a dangerous part in the ritual, while witnessing the incredible power the Travelers now possess.

The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley makes his directorial debut on the series tomorrow, and to celebrate we’re debuting his first ever People’s Choice Against the Clock!

From the most romantic scene he’s shot so far (get excited, Stelena shippers!) to the co-star who makes him break character most often, Wesley raced through our rapid-fire Q/A like a pro — and gave us some really good behind-the-scenes scoop along the way.

Today Paul was on Pix11 talking about his directorial debut on The Vampire Diaries.

Known best for his work on CW’s “The Vampire Diaries,” Paul Wesley is now venturing behind the camera and onto the big screen.

Wesley will make his directorial debut with Thursday’s episode of “The Vampire Diaries,” and his movie “Before I Disappear” won an award from this year’s SXSW.

He’ll be a judge at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The 31-year-old joined the PIX11 Morning News to talk about his new professional adventures, in the video above.

Next Thursday’s episode of the Vampire Diaries is entitled Resident Evil and looks like there is lots of fun for all the Stelena fans! But more importantly this is the episode that Paul directed! Can’t wait to see it! I am sure he did a marvelous job!

Both Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are suddenly having unsettling dreams of an alternate version of the life they might have had together. Bonnie (Kat Graham) has a disturbing encounter with Grams (guest star Jasmine Guy), who warns her about frightening changes on the Other Side. Enzo (guest star Michael Malarkey) gives Damon (Ian Somerhalder) unwanted relationship advice, then admits he is searching for a woman he loved decades before while he was held captive by the Augustines. Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) enlists Matt (Zach Roerig), Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) to help track the Travelers and keep them from taking control of Mystic Falls. Bonnie is hurt and angry when she learns that Jeremy is working with Liv behind her back. Luke (guest star Chris Brochu) shows up at the Salvatore house and explains what he knows about Markos (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) and the Travelers to Damon, Elena and Enzo. Matt has a terrifying encounter with inhabitants of the Other Side. Finally, when Damon finds Markos, he is both relieved and disturbed by what Markos has to tell him. Paul Wesley directed the episode written by Brian Young & Caroline Dries (#518).

Damon tells Elena some upsetting news about Jeremy’s personal life; Enzo opens up to Caroline about his past; Bonnie experiences an unsettling encounter with Luke; the mysterious leader of the Travelers appears after some terrifying events at a camp.
