The Vampire Diaries' flashback-filled May 10 season finale will introduce us to Elena's parents — and then kill 'em off. "One of the things we want to do in the finale is explore a time for Elena when life was simpler," says executive producer Julie Plec. "She had parents and no vampires in her life."
5月10日將迎來《吸血鬼日記》第三季的大結局，在這集中我們將回到過去，認識埃琳娜的雙親，并目睹他們去世的那一幕。執(zhí)行制片人Julie Plec說：這集里我們想做的，就是讓埃琳娜回到身邊有親人，沒有吸血鬼的簡單生活里。

Along with happy family scenes (that also feature now-dead Aunt Jenna!), the episode includes the accident in which the family car veered off a bridge, killing Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert (played by Jason MacDonald and Erin Beute). Remember, says Plec, "Elena almost died with them but Stefan saved her."
除了為我們展現(xiàn)埃琳娜一家和睦溫馨的一面之外（現(xiàn)在的劇情里已經(jīng)死掉的珍妮姨媽Aunt Jenna也會出現(xiàn)），這集也重現(xiàn)了當年他們一家在大橋上翻車遇險的一幕，就是這場事故導致了吉爾伯特先生和夫人的死亡。Plec提醒道：“如果不是斯特凡當時救了她，埃琳娜早就死掉了?！?

"It's something I hopefully will never have to experience in real life — trying to survive underwater while trying to save other people," says Nina Dobrev, who got her scuba diving certification in Bora Bora before shooting these scenes 12 feet underwater in Atlanta. "It was quite intense and a little scary. I'm used to being underwater with a tank, but having to act without the tank is completely different. We were in the water two days for eight hours a day. By the end, I was exhausted and slept like a baby."
“我絕對不希望現(xiàn)實生活中會發(fā)生這件事，” 妮娜?杜波夫說道，“一邊在水下掙扎求生，一邊還要努力得去救其他人?！睘榱送瓿稍趤喬靥m大水下12英尺拍攝的這場戲，妮娜還在博拉博拉島取得了潛水證書?！爱敃r很緊張，還有一點害怕，我以前在水下的時候習慣帶呼吸調節(jié)器，但是演戲的時候是不能戴這個的，所以拍這場戲的難度真的很大。我們連著2天每天在水里泡8個小時，到最后我徹底沒勁兒了，像嬰兒一樣倒頭大睡。”
