In the third season premiere, on the morning of Elena's 18th birthday, Caroline Forbes (series star CANDICE ACCOLA) is busy planning a party, but Elena is focused on searching for any clues that might help her discover where Stefan is. Damon is also searching for Stefan, while trying to protect Elena and keep her from doing anything that would draw Klaus's attention. Meanwhile, Klaus and Stefan are busy trailing a werewolf named Ray Sutton (recurring guest star DAVID GALLAGHER - Super 8, 7th Heaven). Now working at the Mystic Grill along with Matt Donovan (series star ZACH ROERIG), Jeremy Gilbert (series star STEVEN R. MCQUEEN) is struggling to understand why he keeps seeing the ghosts of Vicki (recurring guest star KAYLA EWELL) and Anna (recurring guest star MALESE JOW) since he was brought back to life by Bonnie Bennett's (series star KAT GRAHAM) magic.
