"The Vampire Diaries" is still on hiatus but to keep fans above the water, The CW has released another sneak peek to the next original episode, "A Few Good Men". Damon tells Elena that he is one of the most wanted bachelors who is auctioned for charity. The thought of young women bidding for him makes Damon hungry. Stefan and Elena are worried about Damon's new attitude.

Meanwhile, Matt and Caroline are surprised by the sudden reappearance of Matt's mother Kelly. Melinda Clarke guest stars as Kelly. Also in the March 25 episode, Alaric discovers shocking secrets from his own past. With help from Jenna and Stefan, Elena is determined to find out everything she can about her birth mother, but the truth may be more than she can handle.

Executive producer Julie Plec recently talked to TV Guide about the possibility of Elena's mother being the same person to Alaric's wife. She said, "The next episode is very much about Elena's search to try to get to the bottom of who this woman is and how, if at all, she connects to Alaric."
