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日将迎来《吸血鬼日记》第三季的大结局，在这集中我们将回到过去，认识埃琳娜的双亲，并目睹他们去世的那一幕。执行制片人Julie Plec说：这集里我们想做的，就是让埃琳娜回到身边有亲人，没有吸血鬼的简单生活里。

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."
除了为我们展现埃琳娜一家和睦温馨的一面之外（现在的剧情里已经死掉的珍妮姨妈Aunt Jenna也会出现），这集也重现了当年他们一家在大桥上翻车遇险的一幕，就是这场事故导致了吉尔伯特先生和夫人的死亡。Plec提醒道：“如果不是斯特凡当时救了她，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."
“我绝对不希望现实生活中会发生这件事，” 妮娜•杜波夫说道，“一边在水下挣扎求生，一边还要努力得去救其他人。”为了完成在亚特兰大水下12英尺拍摄的这场戏，妮娜还在博拉博拉岛取得了潜水证书。“当时很紧张，还有一点害怕，我以前在水下的时候习惯带呼吸调节器，但是演戏的时候是不能戴这个的，所以拍这场戏的难度真的很大。我们连着2天每天在水里泡8个小时，到最后我彻底没劲儿了，像婴儿一样倒头大睡。”
