CW's The Vampire Diaries will return with an all-new episode on Thursday, titled The Walking Dead. With the Season 4 finale a little over a week away, the upcoming installment will surely be a pivotal one for the livelihoods of its characters.

According to Spoilers Guide, VD executive producer Julie Plec indicated on May 4 that some of the dead would be making their return in Thursday night's episode.

"We start to have some ghosts coming through from the other side. It's a nice collection of faces that will make us happy, and then some faces that we thought we probably shouldn't see again," she explained.

As was previously reported, the dead will be in attendance in Mystic Falls on the day of graduation, which will be a focal point for this season's finale episode. To top it off, the ghosts will apparently be adamant about settling old scores.

Plec had also given confirmation that one of the vampires will be taking the cure, which stirred speculation that the lucky recipient may be Elena (Nina Dobrev)

The Vampire Diaries will be airing its Walking Dead episode on Thursday, May 9 at 8/7c. Keep checking back for more of the latest details on the CW show.
