'The Vampire Diaries': 'As I Lay Dying' in pictures

We're not going to lie - Tube Talk is feeling confused. On the one hand, we are absolutely desperate to see the next episode of The Vampire Diaries. On the other, it's the season finale, which means that soon it'll be months before a new instalment reaches our screens. But let's not think too far ahead just yet - there is so much to happen before that! Most of the Mystic Falls guys may have survived the full moon (RIP Jenna and John), but it would be stupid of us to think that the town's 'Gone With The Wind' screening will go without a hitch. Who knows what could go down? After all, Elijah and Klaus are still out there. There's fire in one of the photographs below. And, most importantly, what on earth is going to happen to Damon? We've already heard that the episode will feature hallucinations and flashbacks, while Sheriff Forbes is going to make a "deadly mistake" - eek! This is going to be edge of the seat stuff... Take a look at a few photos from the season finale, 'As I Lay Dying', below.

The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursday at 8/7c on The CW in the US and on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV2 in the UK.
