Camille O'Connell Appreciation Week- Day 1 Favorite Camille Episode

geektastic08:

Impossible, she’s had a lot of great episodes. It comes close, but 2x05 The Red Door slightly edges out the rest. 

In this episode we have Cami, a regular human, standing up to Mikael, the vampire who hunts vampires, not for her survival, not to beg him to let her go, but standing up for Klaus. She called him out and said what Klaus’ fans have been saying since Mikael was introduced: “You hate someone who’s fatal flaw is that he wasn’t fathered by you.” Then she straight up called him crazy haha, you go girl! She struck a chord and he fed off her for it. That scene is truly a testament to Leah and Sebastian’s acting chops,  this is what a  between scene two good, strong actors looks like. 

Then we have the Mikael vs. Klaus fight. She lets out a heartbreaking “No!” as he’s stabbed. You can hear the pain in her voice, she doesn’t want Klaus dead, not because she’s thinking of the millions of lives attached to him, but because she cares just about him. Right after she screams she automatically runs over to try to help. Keep in mind Cami has just been fed off of and is physically weak, yet she still runs over trying to attacki Mikael and gets the ultimate backhand slap knocking her down yet again, and is forced to watch him die. Leah’s eyes are perfect as she watches the life fade out of him.  Her eyes are filled with tears and she’s distressed, once again she’s just thinking of how much she’d miss this man. She doesn’t want to lose someone else she cares about. After Father Kieran, Klaus is the person she’s closest to on the show. He knows her vulnerabilities, she has the deepest connection with him than any other character.

Can we all applaud Cami for not running away to save her own skin and sticking around trying to help Klaus? 

Once Mikael says Klaus isn’t dead and runs off she crawls over to Klaus, although I’m sure she’s in a lot of pain and uses her last strength to pull the stake out. Let us applaud Cami again for not hesitating to do that, she didn’t break down and boohoo, she saw that she could save Klaus and she took the chance. She saved Klaus’ life. Cami saved Klaus’ life, a human saved Klaus’ life. 

This is big because Cami’s the most vulnerable one. She’s normal, she’s human, she has virtually no defense against these supernatural creatures. Yet it’s an ordinary person who saves the almighty hybrid. We always expect someone to save Cami (Marcel, Davina, etc.) because of this but in this episode she saved one of the strongest creatures in the universe. I was surprised because this is Klaus we’re talking about! He only has one weapon that could kill him, who expected Cami to save him? I know I didn’t. 

Next we have Cami watching over his weak body, threatening to kill Mikael if he didn’t say away. You see the fire and determination in this woman’s eyes. She was willing to face death to protect Klaus, she would go down fighting for Klaus. Even Mikael remarked on it saying she has a warrior’s heart. This is Mikael, who hates everyone, respects no one, and only admires strength. In 2x04 he called Davina weak but now he’s telling Cami she’s a warrior (someone has Daddy Mikael’s approval). 

Then to top this episode off, Cami apologizes. TO EVERYONE WHO RAGGED ON CAMI FOR GIVING KLAUS THE WRONG ADVICE, HERE THIS WOMAN APOLOGIZED AND ADMITTED SHE WAS WRONG. I’m sorry, but what more do you want in a character?? It’s refreshing to have a humble character who doesn’t mind admitting that they were wrong. She knew Klaus died because he chose to save her and she paid him back by being willing to sacrifice her life for him. 

This episode is perfect for Cami because she stood up to the most feared creature in the TO universe, Mikael, earned his respect, was willing to die for Klaus, and apologized. 

Of course another huge development is that we find that Klaus and Cami love each other. Yes haters I said it: KLAUS AND CAMI LOVE EACH OTHER.  You do not instinctively lay down you own life for someone, with nothing to gain from it for someone you do not love. They both owe each other their lives and neither of them will forget it anytime soon. When the situation had the worst possible outcome they were there for each other. 

Any personal doubts I had about her feelings for him were put to rest. That woman would have been broken if Klaus’ death was permanent. She wasn’t thinking of how Marcel, Josh, and Klaus’ sire line would die too. She was thinking about Klaus, and how she didn’t want another loved one taken away from her. Cami proved that she’s loyal, and willing to die for Klaus. She may not have said the words “I love you”, but we all know actions speak louder than words anyway.

↳ This is a city of death. Fires, floods, to say nothing of the violence we do to each other. We may laissez bon temps rouler, but really we’ve turned life into one big party to distract ourselves from a single unavoidable truth. We’re all going to die.
