If there’s one truth fans of “The Vampire Diaries” know to be self-evident it’s that costume parties bring out the crazies. Like the Decades Dances that have come before it, Whitmore College’s Heaven & Hell Ball will no doubt end with a few bodies on the Solo cup-strewn floor, especially with Heretics Nora and Mary Louise on the prowl.
When the fallout from Damon’s plan to kidnap Oscar gains the unwanted attention from Nora and Mary Louise, they decide to crash Caroline’s party.
“Mary Louise and Nora decide that they’re going to paint the town red, quite literally, with blood” showrunner Caroline Dries added. “This is their first jaunt into the college experience. Nora is super excited to go out and drink beer and party and dance, and Mary Louise is like, ’This is all new.
It’s weird. I’m insecure.’ For the first time, we’re seeing how this dynamic works in the modern world because I’m sure it worked fine in the prison world — Mary Louise wore the pants and could boss Nora around and Nora had no other temptation around — but it’s not going to work that way now.”

The Whitemore college crowd offers up a bevy of temptations for Nora, and Mary Louise is not really down with sharing her girlfriend’s attention, which obviously leads to some bloodshed.
“We’re going to see Mary Louise’s violent side because she becomes quite territorial once she sees how Nora is relating to other people outside of this relationship,” Liane said.
“The two of them want to be this united force and hold on to what they had in the past because it was something very treasured and beautiful, but once they are continuously being tested in this world, the two of them handle it very differently,” she added. “Nora takes on to things a little easier, whereas Mary Louise sees that as a need to hold onto herself and protect herself. Mary Louise will try to keep Nora closer to her side, which leads to some contention between the two of them.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be a “TVD” dance without a serious body count by the night’s end, and Damon’s risky plan to kidnap Oscar is just the fuel the Heretics need to warrant their next bloodbath.
“They’re trying to find him, and that’s their mission,” Liane said.
“They show up to Damon and Stefan’s place, and they give them an ultimatum: show up with Oscar, alive, or we’re going to start killing people. That’s the way they deal with things; they’re going to threaten whoever they can in order to keep their family together.”
That being said, they’re really not going to be happy when they hear what happened to poor Oscar. “Damon finds himself in this sticky spot of trying to use a Heretic as leverage for Elena’s casket, but the only problem is that his leverage is dead,” Dries said. “So wouldn’t it be great if somebody knew how to bring someone back from the dead? That’s where Bonnie comes in with the Phoenix Stone.”

If Damon, Bonnie and Ric are able to resurrect Oscar, he might not be the same fun-loving guy he was before. In fact, he may not even be anything more than a zombie, which would be a huge blow to Lily and her family. No matter how extreme Lily’s methods may be, everything she does, she does for the sake of her family. Is that really so villainous?
“The overarching responsibility to Lily that they feel is that she individually plucked each one out of obscurity and mothered them,” Dries said. “She really is this super mom, and the relationship that she’s trying to rekindle with Stefan and Damon, that’s really Lily’s only goal this season is to mother these children.”
“For Mary Louise, she was always being made to feel like an outcast,” Liane added. “She never really felt accepted for who she was until she met Lily. They all have that commonality of wanting someone who’s going to look after them and love them for who they are — and that is what Lily provides. She makes them feel a little more grounded and secure, like they’re a part of something bigger than themselves.”
