Watch & prepare to have your minds blown… by Ian Somerhalder’s flared leather pants!

In anticipation of Thursday’s all-new Vampire Diaries, let’s go behind-the-scenes of LAST week’s heart-stopper, courtesy of an adorable camerawoman named Nina Dobrev. In this recently released video, Nina takes us all around the show’s Atlanta, Ga., set — and reveals a few secrets about how the magic happens (or in Katerina Graham‘s case, how the magic doesn’t happen.)

Here are five things I learned from this video:

1. Katerina isn’t nearly as good at magic as Bonnie is.

2. Nina gets her decades confused.

3. Kat likes to refer to Nina as “Neens” on occasion.

4. Ian Somerhalder somehow manages to look good in anything… even flared leather pants.

5. Nina and Ian have amazing chemistry, whether they’re on the show, at Coachella, or just goofing off backstage. (Delena shippers, rise and unite!)
