The Originals: The Klaus & Cami Snafu!


What's a little friction between friends?
          From a previous blog I have written how important Cami is to Klaus (romantic or otherwise). Now it seems the writers are rocking the Klamille boat. Will they patch things up?


Trouble in paradise...

          After Klaus let Elijah murder Agnes (the witch who hexed Cami's twin brother Sean) he went to tell Cami the good news. However, Cami did not seem so thrilled. In fact she gave the Hybrid a good slap across the face and said she was angry at him for compelling her to "be fine". She said she felt broken because she couldn't feel bad or confused about her brother's homicide/suicide. I'm sorry, Cami's upset that she could sleep at night? I don't get some people. I guess Cami is one of those who prefer to stew in their misery over being fine and moving on. I also don't understand why Cami was pissed that her brother's murderer was dead. It's not like Agnes would have stood trial. I do however, understand why Cami is angry at her uncle Kieran. He's her family and instead of telling her the truth he made her think she was crazy. Worst yet, Kieran is working with Marcel and Klaus in a secret cabal that runs the French Quarter.


You have to admit there's chemistry here

        I thought that when Klaus showed her how badly he was treated by his parents that Cami would be more sympathetic (being a Psyche major who is supposed to understand the mind), and she was. Cami was in tears of sympathy for Klaus. Yet later she conveniently forgot that Klaus did it to protect her. I know that sounds strange given Klaus usually uses compulsion to say compel some kid onto a roof to fiddle away or to poison water and give it to his friend. However, we should know that Klaus has 1,000 years of emotional baggage to sort out through. He just can't change over night. I guess Cami's reaction to being used as a pawn in Klaus's violent game of chess was a lot to bear so her anger is justified but I would have hoped that Cami would not go so far as to threaten to expose Klaus to the world. 


I kinda wanted them to kiss here. I actually expected it!

           I doubt Cami will expose Klaus to the world if he hurt Josh or Davina. First of all, Kieran and the humans of the French Quarter wouldn't let her. Tourism would plummet and there would be panic. Second, if Cami exposed Klaus then everyone would be exposed including Davina and Josh so in fact Cami would do more damage with her desire for honesty than anything. Some secrets are best kept secret. 


Take this down...

        Knowing who Klaus is we have to wonder why hasn't Klaus killed Cami yet? He might think about it. It probably wouldn't be the first time he had to kill a friend or someone he liked. But I would like to think Klaus's need for an honest friend like Cami would overpower his desire for self preservation. I would hope Cami awakened some more mercy or compassion in Klaus that he would try a less violent way to deal with his former therapist turned enemy. Maybe he'll apologize? One can only hope. 


Cami is the angel on this devil's shoulder

        If a certain blond from Mystic Falls can arouse compassion in this devil hybrid then this blond in the French Quarter could have the same affect. I just hope that Cami and Klaus can patch things up. Klaus needs Cami in his life, romantic or otherwise. She has an influence over him in some way. It doesn't seem like her influence reaches so deep now but Klaus did spare Kieran's life (less for a political reason and more for Cami's sake of not losing another close family member to the supernatural). Let's face it, Klaus has bad luck in male friends. He's surrounded by strong no-nonsense women and they're not afraid to give Klaus a bitter dose of truth and honesty Klaus respects. So instead of an entourage of guys, Klaus may turn to women's council more often. Here's hoping that the writers will discover a way to get Klamille back together.
