In Season 7 Episode 12 of “The Vampire Diaries,” Damon (Ian Somerhalder) will continue on his path to nowhere, while his brother Stefan (Paul Wesley) will do his best to keep him under wraps. Caroline (Candice King) will also be struggling with the effects of her supernatural pregnancy.

According to CarterMatt, Stefan’s objective of doing everything to save Damon will be the main focus of the episode, entitled “Postcards from the Edge.” Damon will feel that he cannot accomplish anything. He needs Elena more than ever, but with her absence, he will be forced to create his own path, probably with some help from his brother.

“When his experience in the Phoenix stone leads him to do the unthinkable, Damon finds himself without a care in the world, spiraling out of control and under the influence of a dangerous and reckless Julian (guest star Todd Lasance). Refusing to give up on his brother, Stefan attempts to reason with Damon, only to uncover the devastating reason for his descent,” stated the episode synopsis.

The synopsis also mentioned that in the meantime, Caroline will begin to experience some dangerous side effects because of her supernatural pregnancy and will be forced to ask Valerie (guest star Elizabeth Blackmore) for help. Moreover, Bonnie (Kat Graham), Nora (guest star Scarlett Byrne) and Mary Louise (guest star Teressa Liane) will try to search for a ruthless vampire hunter named Rayna (guest star Leslie-Anne Huff), whom they believe has returned.

In the promo video, Damon was featured hanging out with Julian, who brings out his dark side more. Damon said that he wants to feel every moment of his miserable life. They sit in a bar, with Damon eventually getting in a ring to fight. Stefan was also in the scene and did his best to bring Damon’ back to his wits. Ecumenical News reported that Stefan will eventually discover the reason behind Damon’s downward spiral and will be angered as well.
