We spoke withOriginalsshowrunner Michael Narducci about the decision, not to mention what just happened with Davina.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you all decide that Cami was going to die?

She never killed anyone [as a vampire].

And we dont want you to know whats happening on the show.

I am what I was made by others.

And I think Camis influence will be with him.

Hell never be able to forget that.

How do you draw comfort from your connection with the one you love?

And how do you comfort someone you love who is dying?

It was a very intimate, very emotional story between Klaus and Cami.

This is really the only circumstance we could find that made sense for that to happen this way.

We really liked the way it turned out.

I want to hear about the decision to have them say I love you.

We have always known theres an incredible connection between these two people.

Theres people that like Klaus with Aurora.

Theres people that want Klaus to be on his own.

That really changed Klaus.

I loved how Camis death really brought everyone together.

Will it continue to do that moving forward?

Camis long-term effects are yet to be seen.

Lucien only came to New Orleans for the purpose of having his twisted, sick revenge fantasy against Klaus.

So whose fault is that?

I think Camis influence will definitely bear fruit in that long view of the story.

Before I let you go, what about Davina?!

Davina is a New Orleans witch.

We have seen the tenuous relationship that New Orleans witches have with the concept of mortality.

Their dance upon this mortal coil is a little bit less tenuous than a mere mortal.

you might imagine that Davinas story is not yet over.
