EJ: My God, it is true. I heard you were back. What wonderful news!
Stefan: I appreciate the warm welcome. Though we've never actually met before. In fact, the only time I've ever seen you before today is when you were in the hospital, and you were wrapped head to toe, in bandages.
EJ: Hmm. Seems we've both made a miraculous recovery. Perhaps it's something in our DNA. After all, we are brothers.
Stefan: We're also strangers. So, EJ, why are you so happy to see me?
