In the last episode Hope said that she wants to open a school of her own but for tribrids only, and this is clearly foreshadowing of her becoming the headmistress at the Salvatore School.
Also Aurora did a Ryan Clark/Vardemus move and she became temporary headmistress at the Salvatore School to get something she needs for her plan, similar with what Clark did in Season 2, so at the moment is clear that the only good headmaster is Alaric.
It's clear that Alaric (IDK why but he will be back) and Landon(Because he is Hope's soulmate and all of that) will return. Now what if after his near death experience, Alaric decides to quit the school(because he is useless now, and they could replace him with a character that brings something to the story). So if Alaric quits the school , knowing the school track record of headmasters he names Hope as the headmistress because he trusts her and she is immortal and all of that + she is perfect for the job.
What do you think?
