'The Vampire Diaries' Season 8 Release Date, News & Update: Sybil To Send Ian Somerhalder’s Damon Salvatore On Ultimate Self-Sacrifice?

Killing machines Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) and Enzo St John (Michael Malarkey) may have gone on "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 finale murder spree for a specific reason. Without doubt "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 is setting up for an explosive "TVD" series finale and what could be more intense than to have believed S8 big bad Sybil (Nathalie Kelley) secretly working with Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John on a mission.

Granted Sybil is now becoming known for her penchant to suspend humanity and conscience on her targets as Zap2It reports. However, Parent Herald cites TV Guide in reporting that Sybil, Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John may be ruthless but "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will reveal that they are completely evil.

  The media outlet hints that fans will discover a specific purpose that Sybil, Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John are working toward in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Likely "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 will reveal that it is a purpose that benefits the greater good.

One wonders if "TVD" fans should begin a close analysis of the victims that Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John left strung and dried in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 7 finale. What also puzzles is why Sybil had to keep Bonnie Bennett (Kat Graham) helpless in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8.

  In the past, Bonnie Bennett had been loudly buzzed to be the sacrificial lamb that opens the keys to salvation for Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8. Specifically, Bonnie Bennett was thought to sacrifice her own life to awaken Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and save Damon Salvatore and Enzo St. John.

Given this new take on Sybil and the seemingly changed Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John, the tragic and selfless end that "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 may bring does not seem to be that of Bonnie Bennett. It is possible that Damon Salvatore may be the one that sacrifices his own life as "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8 closes The CW series.

What mission do you think did Sybil give Damon Salvatore and Enzo St John for "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8? Do you think death for Damon Salvatore would be a fitting twist in "The Vampire Diaries" Season 8?
