We already know when The Vampire Diaries will return with new episodes: Thursday, September 9.

Now, we can tell you the title of this show's second season premiere: "The Return."

It's safe to assume this is a reference to Katherine, but it may also include John Gilbert, who David Anders says might not be as dead as we initially believed.

Either way, it's an issue worth discussing in our Vampire Diaries forum and it's just one more reason to look forward to this fall. Seriously, is it September yet?!?
