Meanwhile, in a series of flashbacks to Stefan's past, Cade's attempt to entice him with his mysterious agenda leaves Stefan faced with an unimaginable decision," reads the synopsis for the episode.

Directed by Tanya Hamilton and written by Shukree Hassan Tilghman, the episode will feature Kat Graham and Michael Malarkey.
