Images from the May 10 season finale of The Vampire Diaries, titled The Departed

The May 10 season finale of The Vampire Diaries is almost here, and although a few images had trickled out here and there, the network has now finally released a gallery showing more of what we can expect on May 10.

What can we see? Well, there’s a flashback with Elena’s parents and Aunt Jenna, as we see more about a simpler time in Mystic Falls. Looks like the drama level is raised to 10, which is kind of unsurprising for a Vampire Diaries season finale. The real question is, can they top the Season 1 finale cliffhanger, which is still one of the best of all time?

Here are the images.
