   Summary

   What if Elena wasn’t the Petrova doppelganger?

   Mab’s mischievous journey through Mystic Falls continues to give its residents magical dreams - allowing them a peek into alternate universes.

   Her next visit is to Damon, who dreams of a world where the role of doppelganger falls to someone else entirely, and that changes everything.

   (The first scene takes place roughly after 3X9 in regular canon (and is just a framing device), but once the dream begins, it's an alternate S1.)
