The official synopsis for CW's Vampire Diaries season 4, episode 18 has now been released, as it is set to feature Elena (Nina Dobrev) and Rebekah (Claire Holt) on the lookout for wicked Katherine. The future installment is titled American Gothic.

According to the CW network, both Elena and Rebekah are said to go off on a search for Katherine. In the process, they will find themselves in a small Pennsylvania town, where Elena has a shocking encounter with another one of her old acquaintances, Elijah (played by guest star Daniel Gillies).

This will be a cause of concern for Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley), who are worried about Elena's state of mind.

Nonetheless, they are motivated to do whatever is best for her, but she makes it very clear from the beginning that helping her out will indeed be difficult.

Damon will be uncertain how to react when Stefan reveals to him his unexpected plan for the future.

Meanwhile, back in Mystic Falls, Klaus will reluctantly receive assistance from Caroline, but in the process, he will come to a new understanding in terms of Silas' powers.

Kellie Cyrus was the director of the highly anticipated episode which was written by Evan Bleiwiess and Jose Molina.

The Vampire Diaries is set to air its next episode, which is titled Bring It On, at 8 p.m. EST on Thursday, March 14.

It will feature the Salvatore brothers trying to find a way to handle Elena's situation. They end up sending her back to high school with the hope that she'll be able to return to normalcy following the death of Jeremy. However, the normal routine seems to add more chaos when Elena rejoins the cheerleading squad and ends up literally eating the competition.
