[Stefan runs out of the Salvatore boarding house with a wooden stake that he got out of the basement until the flashback of him waiting on the doorstep of the old Salvatore estate appears with a flash of light. A carriage arrives in front of him. Birdie Mae exits the carriage first then Katherine exits the carriage and observes him for a moment then Stefan approaches her after Birdie finishes smoothing out Katherine's dress.]
Stefan: You must be Miss Pierce. Katherine: Please, call me Katherine. Salvatore Boarding House
Elena: What are you? What are you? Stefan: You know. Elena: No, I don't. Stefan: Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here. Elena: It's not possible. It can't be. Stefan: Everything you know...And every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that? Elena: What are you? Stefan: I'm a vampire. Elena: I shouldn't have come. Stefan: No. Please. [Elena tries to run away, but Stefan appears in front of her.]
Elena: No. No. How did you do that? Stefan: Please don't be afraid of me. Elena: Let me go. Stefan: No. Elena, there's things that you have to know and understand. Elena: Let me go! Stefan: Elena, please. [Elena gets into her car and drives away.]
Previously On The Vampire Diaries. Old Man: I know you. My God. Stefan: I'm sorry? Old Man: I know you. How can it be? Stefan: I think you have the wrong person, sir. Old Man: You haven't aged a day.Stefan: She was...the most beautiful girl that I had ever met. She had this perfect olive skin. And she had this laugh. It was ridiculous. I mean, her laugh made you laugh. And she was fun. She knew how to have a good time. But Katherine was also very impatient and entitled and selfish, and, um, impulsive.Vicki: Yeah? What am I? Jeremy: You're different, Vick. Vicki: No, you are. You're the kid with the big house who's acting out because his parents died. Guess what-- You'll get over it. You will pull yourself together, move on, and one day tell your kids stories about your dark period growing up. And I'll still be here, waiting tables at the grill, partying at the cemetery with a bunch of waste of space small-town lifers. What are you?.

Gilbert Residence
[Elena arrives and runs to her room where she begins to freak out then Stefan appears again.]
Stefan: Elena.[she tries to run out of her room until Stefan pushes the door shut and corners Elena against the door] I would never hurt you. You're safe with me. Elena: All those animal attacks, those people who died... Stefan: No. That was Damon! Elena: Damon? Stefan: Yes. I don't drink human blood. That's not how I choose to survive, but Damon does! I'll explain everything to you, but I beg you, Elena, do not tell anybody. Elena: How can you ask me that? Stefan: Because you knowing this is dangerous for so many reasons. You can hate me, but I need you to trust me. Elena: Just go. Just go, please. Go. If you mean me no harm, then you'll go! Stefan: I never wanted this. [Stefan leaves.]
