Back in 1864 in Mystic Falls…
"Katherine, what would you have me do?" Emily asked helplessly within the privacy of Katherine's bedroom.
"Guiseppe is getting in the middle of my plans for Stefan. I cannot compel him, he drinks vervain." Katherine said in a rather matter of fact tone.
"I could send him somewhere, anywhere you want me to." Emily suggested.
Katherine smiled wickedly at her reflection in the vanity mirror. Her response was simple enough, "Send him to a different time."
Emily was confused with Katherine but caught on quickly, "You want me to send Guiseppe to the past or the future?"
Katherine nods while Emily assists with undressing her hair.
"I will cast the spell tonight while the moon is full." Emily wanted to argue with Katherine's decision but thought it would be useless.
Present day in Mystic Falls…
Stefan and Elena strolled around the collapsed brick of what used to be the entrance of his home.
"I hope this is not in any imposition for you, I enjoy walking around here sometimes to clear my head." Stefan gave Elena an encouraging smile.
Elena grabs Stefan's hand to ensure him without saying much in return.
"I think it's very peaceful here." Elena finally said as she looked up into the stars and the full moon that cast a series of shadows around the area.
"I can almost hear the voices of everyone who used to live here. Damon and I used to play football right over there." Stefan pointed to the clearing near the remains of what used to be a house.
A bright light suddenly appears out of nowhere within the remnants of the house. Stefan and Elena both shield their eyes from the light. For a moment they froze until the light had vanished. Elena was frightened but stayed in the safety of Stefan's arms.
"What the hell…" Stefan said as he looked into the face of his own father.
Elena could not recognize the man that stood before them but by the expression on Stefan's face, he knew who the man was.
"Stefan? Is that you, son?" Guiseppe asked into the stillness of the night.
"Father?" Stefan asked in amazement.
Elena stood in shock, as she knew that Guiseppe had been dead. She remembered the grave that she and Stefan dug up vividly.
"Father, how is this even possible?" Stefan was questioning himself rather than to the man.
Guiseppe marched through the overgrown earth and over to Stefan. He glanced over at Elena and bowed instantly.
"Katherine, I did not expect you would be out at this time." Guiseppe addressed Elena but clearly had mistaken her for Katherine.
"I'm Elena, it's nice to meet you." She held out a hand to shake but Guiseppe kissed her hand instead.
Stefan was tense with the presence of Guiseppe but tried to remain as calm and polite as possible. Stefan and Elena both looked at each other in astonishment.
