While Stefan’s hungry [for] the wolf, Damon inches closer towards Elena. Which brother are you rooting for this season?

A brand-new batch of stills from The CW reveal what Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Klaus (Joseph Morgan) are up to on the third season premiere of The Vampire Diaries! You know, while Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is busy relishing his alone time with Elena (Nina Dobrev) back in Mystic Falls.

It appears Klaus and Stefan really are off on a tour of terror, and their journey brings them to a young werewolf played by 7th Heaven‘s David Gallagher! (I can’t help but imagine Happy giving Simon lessons in how to act like a dog, maybe I might be losing my mind.)

Meanwhile, it looks like Caroline (Candice Accola) and Tyler (Michael Trevino) have their respective paws and fangs in some serious relationship drama. They seem to be sharing a nice moment as they set up for Elena’s party, but once the festivities begin, the conversation tenses up.

Caroline’s tension parade continue, as she shares a seemingly awkward moment with recent ex-boyfriend, Matt (Zach Roerig.)

Sadly, there’s still no sign of Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), Bonnie (Kat Graham), or either of Jeremy’s ghostly exes (Kayla Ewell and Malese Jow.) But something tells me they’re saving that quartet in the shadows for a reason.
