Directorial debut of actor Paul Wesley who plays Stefan Salvatore in the series
At a PaleyFest event in 2014, Paul Wesley shared that as a congratulatory gesture for his directorial debut Nina Dobrev gifted him a life-size painting of her that he kept in his trailer.
It is revealed that the Travelers can't stay in one place too long because of a curse placed on them by the witches sometime after Qetsiyah created the Immortality Spell. This is why they gained the moniker "the Travelers."

Paul Wesley the first member of the TVD cast to direct an episode in the TVD/TO universe; the first to write for it is Marguerite MacIntyre, with three episodes of The Originals.
