The rising death toll and one character’s return makes season two seem centuries away. By Nuzhat Naoreen Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley in the “Vampire Diaries” finale Photo: CW When “The Vampire Diaries” star Nina Dobrev stopped by MTV News last week, she warned that the season finale would be full of “cliffhangers, deaths and blood.” The girl wasn’t kidding. Thursday’s finale featured nonstop twists and turns, including the deaths of three characters and the return of a very unexpected one, Katherine. Elena, Stefan and Damon joined the rest of Mystic Falls to celebrate what they thought would be a worry-free Founder’s Day (apparently, they don’t watch this show). As Damon put it, for once, there wasn’t a looming threat, especially since Bonnie had deactivated the device aimed at killing vampires. What could possibly go wrong? The answer: everything — especially since Bonnie lied about working her magic on the device, which was now in Johnathan Gilbert’s very untrustworthy hands.
