The Salvatore brothers watch as Sybil descends the staircase at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. The scene is reminiscent of Elena's descent so many years ago.
Stefan returns to Mystic Falls on The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 9. Not shockingly, he's in his Ripper form again, which is exactly where he was during our very FIRST experience with the Miss Mystic Falls pageant. History really does repeat itself.
