The previous episode of the final season of the supernatural thriller left Stefan shocked after he discovers that Caroline and Alaric's twin daughters are missing along with Seline. With the growing powers of the sirens, it appears the younger Salvatore brother is in deep trouble. Now he will try to save his brother Damon (who has surrendered his humanity to Sybil) and the twins.

Knowing that the sirens will use the children for their greater advantage, Stefan and Caroline will race against time to find them and according to the official synopsis, they will have to pay a huge price in their rescue mission.

Show creator Julie Plec, meanwhile, teased that Caroline and Stefan would see happy days despite the unfortunate events . "They've been growing as a team, they've had their ups and their downs, they've had a lot of hurdles preventing them from being able to be happy and we knew we did need some happiness in this otherwise bleak scenario," she told EW.

"It was important for us to be able to celebrate a relationship. We can't celebrate Damon and Elena right now; Elena's in a coffin. And we're celebrating Bonnie and Enzo all the time but they're new so they have so many more roads to travel before they get to that conversation, so it was fun to be able to give Stefan and Caroline a sense of a happy ending to come, even if it doesn't get that far. It's going to be a fun road to travel."

Vampire Diaries season 8 airs every Friday on CW.
