CW has released two batches of new photos from The Vampire Diaries October 20th and 27th episodes. The 20th’s one is called “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and “Ghost World”. You will find photos for both down below, but here are the official descriptions of the episodes in the order they will air.

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

WELCOME BACK, SENIORS — On the first day of their senior year, Elena (Nina Dobrev), Caroline (Candice Accola), Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Matt (Zach Roerig) are still reeling from recent events, while Tyler (Michael Trevino) seems to be enjoying everything a little too much. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is annoyed by a new houseguest, and everyone is surprised by the arrival of a new student in Alaric’s (Matt Davis) history class. Matt asks Bonnie for help when he realizes he made a serious mistake. Meanwhile, Stefan (Paul Wesley) continues to carry out his latest assignment from Klaus (Joseph Morgan, who does not appear in the episode). Steven R. McQueen also stars. Rob Hardy directed the episode written by Julie Plec & Caroline Dries (#306).

“Ghost World” (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

NIGHT OF ILLUMINATION — As Mystic Falls prepares to celebrate the traditional Illumination Night, the town is invaded by spirits of the dead. After a particularly violent encounter with an angry spirit, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) asks Bonnie (Kat Graham) to find the reason behind the ghosts’ surprising power. Elena (Nina Dobrev) convinces Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) to use his connection to the other side to help her find a new way to reach Stefan (Paul Wesley), leading Jeremy to a terrible choice. Finally, Alaric (Matt Davis) discovers a long-hidden clue to the past. Candice Accola and Zach Roerig also star. David Jackson directed the episode written by Rebecca Sonnenshine (#307).

I am loving the titles for the episodes. They are clever and seem to fit them to the T. I certainly hope that they will live up to the titles, but they seem to be pretty decent about that. I wonder what made them come up with them? They are pretty fabulous sounding at the very least. Maybe we can start expecting some more amazing episodes to help give this season a boost.

What do you think the episodes have been up to par this season? I know that the show seems to be not talked about as much as last season, but I am sure that the fans are still watching it, I just suppose this season isn’t as hot as last was. You can find the photos below.
