Julie Plec knows that Vampire Diaries fans are itching for all the information they can get about the show’s eighth and final season, so she recently treated us all to a nice little game over social media: guess the name of the upcoming episode! The prize? A beautiful, nostalgia-inducing title that will make you swoon! After TVD writer-producer Neil Reynolds shared a cryptic behind-the-scenes shot from set – of a winding staircase rail, to be exact – Plec took to Twitter to test viewers’ memories of a momentous event: First person to correctly guess the title of the episode gets a shout-out and maybe a prize depending on how fast you get it. t.co/APWFXve3VW — julieplec (@julieplec) October 14, 2016 Remember, the episode titles this year are quotes from earlier episodes. — julieplec (@julieplec) October 14, 2016 But one lucky fan, @_LightToMyDark, guessed (almost) correctly…and pretty fast too! We have a WINNER! Sort of. “The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch” Awesome, Caro. I can’t believe you got it that fast. t.co/AjV94RBo3B — julieplec (@julieplec) October 14, 2016 That’s right! The 9th episode of TVD’s last season is called “The Simple Intimacy of the Near Touch”- plucked from a line of incredible throwback dialogue we know many of you hardcore fans already recognize. For those of you with memories more like mine that need a little jogging, however, the episode’s title is actually a call back to 1×19, when everyone – from Elena Gilbert to Caroline Forbes – was preparing to compete in the annual Miss Mystic Falls pageant. In this particular episode, as Mrs. Lockwood is teaching all the participants and their dashing escorts how to perform the traditional dance for the Founder’s Ball, Elena jokes that this entire ordeal is “ridiculous” — and Stefan promptly responses by giving his lady a quick dip and twirl. However, Mrs. Lockwood doesn’t have time for such modern-day nonsense and steps in to correct them, telling them both that “There’s no touching during this part. [The dance is] about the simple intimacy of the near touch.” And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the episode 8×09 title came into existence!

so if Bonnie becomes a vampire what does that mean for Elena? The Sleepingspell said no loopholes and I think becoming a vampire is one

Felt like the first real episode of #TVD this season. I may even stay up until 11 tonight to watch it again. Beautifully filmed. Also liked Ripper Stefan truth-telling about Damon and Elena <snicker>

I kinda wish I stopped watching halfway thru season 6. I think this was the worst episode so far. I didn't feel nostalgic. I don't understand why both brothers can't be bad at the same time, how in the hell does the pendant keep damon "good", when did caroline become team damon and every time I see bonnie and Enzo together my eyes get stuck in the back of my head.

I just watched this episode last night. Paul does ripper Stefan so well I nearly don't want him to be good again. I'm a bit with you bonbon on the whole pendant reaches into Damons humanity and gives him a flicker of warmth - wth! Every other time a humanity switch has been flicked off on that show it's taken epic reinforcements to get any of them to turn it back on yet all Damon has to do is hold the pendant Stefan gave Elena. Also Damons been a down right bad bad boy but as soon as Stefans humanity is off he starts having a slight conscience- would've been epic to see those two tear it up together being bad boys.... but no. I liked the episode but boy Caroline gave up pretty easy regarding Stefan....
