The episode airs on May 13th. The Vampire Diaries airs on Thursdays at 8pm and stars Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder.

The CW announced part of its summer plans today, and the schedule includes a double dose of vampire action on Thursday nights. Starting June 3, repeats from the first season of The Vampire Diaries will be paired with Moonlight, the 2007 CBS vampire drama starring Alex O’Loughlin.

HOW TO REALLY SAVE YOUR FAVORITE SCI-FI SHOW FROM CANCELATION

How can fans of a struggling sci-fi show save it from cancelation? It’s a question I get a lot, partly because Syfy has from time to time saved shows from cancelation, and partly because like every TV network we cancel our fair share of shows.

The No. 1 method of choice for fans trying to save a show is writing letters/e-mails to the network that airs the show. This worked back in the ’60s to keep the original Star Trek on the air for a while, and according to this article it may have had an impact on a few shows since then.
