Bonnie and Damon wander the streets of the fake Mystic Falls and find very interesting clues such as cars that are over 20 years old, but look brand new, and a newspaper that reads 1994. Bonnie thinks that her Grams set it up for her to find peace, and that she took Damon with her, but that magic should be able to get them out of them.

Soon the duo realize they are living the exact same day over and over again, May 10, 1994.
Months later, Bonnie and Damon are still in 1994 Mystic Falls and cannot figure out how to get themselves out of their own private Hell, and soon realize there is someone else there with them, but who?
