"I'm coming back. There's a hot mess in Mystic Falls. It's a hot mess! We need a little Elijah to restore some order," Daniel teases of his reappearance.
While Daniel couldn't say too much about the finale, he warns fans to "brace" themselves as the episode is "just going to rock the foundation of the fandom. It's stunning what the writers have done. I love what [executive producer] Julie Plec has done. I'm as eager as the fans to see how it evolves. It's deeply tragic. You can expect some tragedy. That's all I can really say. Whatever's happening with this group of people is about to be changed forever."
Considering Elijah was literally stabbed in the back by his brother Klaus (Joseph Morgan) in last season's finale, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Daniel considers finales to be brutal. "Brutal things happen. I feel like the character Precious!" he says. "I feel like can anything else bad happen to this creature? One thing I really enjoy about that role is that when he comes around, it means that an equilibrium is being sought after."
