'The Vampire Diaries' Season 3 Episode 16...

The Vampire Diaries season 3 continues on March 15 with episode 16, "1912," and it's going to be revealing more about the past. It's time for some more flashbacks, and this time it's going to show how Damon became who he is.

According to TV Guide, this episode will reveal "how the rift between the Salvatore boys was created." Ian Somerhalder has said, "You start to see the rebirth of Damon Salvatore and where he was in 1912. You learn a lot about the dynamic of Stefan and Damon and how it changed." This look at the past "puts a lot of the pieces together" to explain what it's like in the present for the brothers. Somerhalder also points out that they haven't killed each other yet because "they just cannot end it."

Stefan and Damon obviously have many "differences," but at the same time, it's those moments between the brothers, whether they're on the same side or notÂ—and it's almost more fun when they're notÂ—that are among the best of the show. The Vampire Diaries season 3 episode 16 is set to show what happened in 1912 for Damon and how he became how he is, in addition to introducing Sage. In the present, the brothers are dealing with the Mystic Falls killer, and no one knows who that is. Everyone has their theories, but no one's quite sure yet. Damon and Stefan are going to have to work togetherÂ—like they have beenÂ—to figure it out, and it should be fun to see what happened in the past to create that rift and what it means for them in the present.

The best thing about flashbacks is connecting them to the present, and this episode is going to do just that. On top of seeing the differences in the brothers' relationship, it could very well lead to some major clues about the present-day deaths. Will remembering the past bring up some memories that Damon would have rather kept in the past, perhaps about Stefan? Will it reopen some old wounds?
