Vampire Diaries/Originals Crossover: Klaus and Stefan Bond Over [Spoiler]

TVLine has an exclusive first look at an upcoming episode of

, airing Feb. 12 at 8/7c on The CW, in which Stefan and his older brother appear to be bumming around a less-than-desirable neighborhood in Mystic Falls.

But what exactly are they doing there? Perhaps the answer lies in the episode’s official description:

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. Refusing to give up on his brother, Stefan attempts to reason with Damon only to uncover the devastating reason for his descent.  Elsewhere, Caroline begins having some dangerous side effects as a result of her supernatural pregnancy and is forced to turn to Valerie for help. Meanwhile, Bonnie, Nora and Mary Louise attempt to track down a ruthless vampire hunter named Rayna after they suspect that she has reemerged.

– Oh, it’s just “the unthinkable”? What a relief!

fans, your thoughts on Damon’s (latest) downward spiral? Drop ’em in a comment below.

So excited for the crossover! Can’t wait to see Klaus and Caroline interact for the first time in over 2 years!!! They had the best dynamic and I can’t wait to see it in action again!

No thank you. Hopefully they won’t see each other in the crossover.

To each his own. I’d rather see them interact, just because their dynamic was just so great and compelling, a lot better than I’ve seen on the show lately, but that’s just IMO.

it’s true, but at least they’re going to talk.

and how many times has Damon “descended into a spiral” again? Doesn’t he do that at least once a season? Good grief.

It’s in this episode where Caroline (FF) makes the decision to look for her friend in NOLA? Yep, definitely I can not wait!!!

The real question, does anyone truly give two craps?
