After a short hiatus, The Vampire Diaries returns to the CW this Friday with the episode titled Detoured On Some Random Backwoods Path to Hell. Watch Season 8 episode 6 live online on CW at 8 pm ET.

Friday's episode of the teen vampire drama is directed by Paul Wesley, who plays Stefan Salvatore, and it will see Alaric and Caroline racing against time to keep their children safe. The previous episode saw Seline, the babysitter kidnapping the twins, and it looks like Damon is also with them.

The promo for the episode shows Caroline warning her fiancé Stefan about the dire state his brother Damon will be in when she finally finds him. "Let me be perfectly clear... Stefan. If Damon gets in-between me and my girls, I'm going to kill him. So No. You cannot come with me," she tells him.

But based on the promo, it looks like Damon is trying to make sure the Sirens don't hurt the twins, and speculations are rife that Alaric's girls will be crucial in helping him get back his humanity.
Season 8 episode 6 will also introduce Cade to viewers. This will be his first modern day appearance since being introduced in flashbacks.

The official synopsis for Season 8 episode 6 reads:

When her children become the focus of the Siren's latest plan, Caroline takes drastic measures to ensure nothing gets in the way of keeping her family safe. In a race against the clock, Stefan pledges to do everything he can to save the twins, while tensions between Alaric and Caroline boil over, leading them to face some harsh realities about the future of their family. Meanwhile, when Enzo finds himself unable to fight off Sybil's latest move, Stefan dives into his subconscious and along the way, sets off a chain of events that leaves him faced with a life-changing decision. Bonnie and Matt also appear.

The Vampire Diaries airs on Fridays on the CW.
