Season 5 of “Vampire Diaries” is going to be hot and we don’t just mean the vampires, the premiere episode will bring the audience on a steamy summer ride. The full synopsis of episode 1, “I Know What You Did Last Summer” has leaked online, and it teases some major drama has taken place over the long, hot summer. Season 5 isn’t picking up exactly where fans left off with the Mystic Falls crew, but instead we are catching up with them at the end of their summer and for the start for the next school year. But the doesn’t mean we find out what occurred during those sweaty, 3 months, fans will be getting some recap while moving forward with dramatic story.

I’m sure you are all wondering what exactly is going on with Damon and Elena, after confessing their love for each other at the end of Season 4, things aren’t looking good for the seemingly “happy” couple. According to the episode synopsis Elena has “spent the summer enjoying her passionate relationship with Damon” but unfortunately it seems like things are going to take a less romantic turn when she moves into her new dorm at Whitmore College and Katherine decides to take up residence in the Salvatore house. What! That’s right, Katherine is back and begging Damon for help “now that she is human and vulnerable to her enemies.” It seems like Elena can’t catch a break, even after she force-fed Katherine the vampire cure, her evil doppelganger finds a way to ruin something.

Katherine isn’t the only new tenant in the Salvatore house, Jeremy is moving in. After returning from the dead, Jeremy has spent the summer adjusting to his newly acquired livelihood, and it seems like it’s going alright. Even though Jeremy is a human again, it seems like things will never go back to the way they used to be after Elena burned down their house.

As for Elena’s college days, it seems like they are off to a good start, she is “thrilled to move into the dorm at nearby Whitmore College with her new roommate, Caroline.” Although, things take an interesting turn when a student named Megan (guest star Hayley Kiyoko) shows up and announces that she will be sharing their dorm room. It seems that both Elena and Caroline have no idea that Bonnie is dead and not actually traveling all summer.

Elena is in for another surprise, it seems like the Mystic Falls crew has been duped by Silas the whole summer. But Elena can’t shale the nagging suspicion that “something is wrong with Stefan,” and as all “Vampire Diaries” know she will probably figure it out. Apparently we won’t have to wait that long for Elena’s revelation and Silas exposure, as “Silas makes a terrifying appearance at the ‘End of Summer’ party in town square.”

Season 5 of “The Vampire Diaries” premieres on the CW on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. with episode 1, “I Know What You Did Last Summer.”
