Executive producer Julie Plec disclosed why Stefan will find his way to New Orleans. She explained that the crossover episode was born out of Stefan needing a place to escape. Since he is on the run from vampire huntress Rayna, he needs to go somewhere where magic can’t find him and New Orleans happens to be a place where magic does not work.
Despite their complicated love stories in the past, Stefan and Klaus will keep things respectful. They don’t have to be delving in the past since Stefan is now with Caroline while Klaus now has Cami to contend with.
Plec revealed that Stefan and Klaus will actually have a surprisingly civil and honest conversation about love and what it means as well as the sacrifices that they have to make for it.
Narducci also explained back then that while there would be positive things in store in the future, things will become terrible first, citing that Cami’s situation was going to get worse before it gets better.
With Cami already a vampire, she began to explore as well as started experiencing her new life. It has been a long transition for her into discovering who she is going to be as a vampire.
