ELECTION FEVER — Tensions rise among the students after Alaric (Matthew Davis) decides to give the students a bigger voice by forming an honor council. Determined to find out more about Landon’s (Aria Shahghasemi) past, Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) does a series of magical tests on him. Meanwhile, Alaric and Dorian (guest star Demetrius Bridge) take on the next creature to try and find out what they want and where they are coming from. Michael Karasick directed the episode written by Thomas Brandon & Penny Cox.
The latest chapter of The Vampire Diaries universe, Legacies follows students at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted as they learn to control their abilities and impulses. It’s something that fans have taken an interest to despite dissatisfaction with the conclusion of its predecessor, The Originals, something that showrunner Julie Plec told reporters during a visit to the show’s set was something she hoped for.
“I hope what they love is the familiarity and the nostalgia of the way that we tell these stories,” Plec said. “The way that we live, deeply rooted in emotion and friendship and love and all those great things. I hope what they appreciate is how new it feels tonally and so different from what we’ve done in the past as well. I think that the show we’re pushing humor a lot harder. We’re hoping, as you see in episodes to come, we really brought it out our tone. We’re embracing our inner comedians and having a lot of fun with that. We’ve never gotten to do that before. Just be blatantly funny. And then hopefully the monsters, I think, will get everybody excited but I can’t talk too much about those.”
Legacies airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET following Supernatural on The CW.
