Am I shocked that Camis a vampire?
However, in my mind, vampirism was always option No.
2 notasbold, but still a good twist.

As for Jackson, well, I did NOT see that coming, and Im not okay.
Well get to that later.
In the flashback, Camis trying to convince Klaus that death does mean something to him.
If not your own then at least the death of others.
And of course, were seeing that shes right as Camis death is currently destroying him.
Well, because she can steal the woman you love.
Remembering what happened to her, Cami tells Klaus that Aurora compelled her.
While Cami showers off her own blood, Elijah and Klaus make a plan.
Despite Klaus need for swift and brutal revenge, Elijah tells him to stay with Cami.
Instead, Tristan orders his witches to hold Vincent captive for the time being.
Or at least until he out-magics them and Elijah shows up to lend a hand.
Yeah, it gets worse.
He tells her: I love you.
Ive always loved you.
When I first saw you, you broke me.
And nothing has ever been the same since.
He just wants her to know that it was all real every moment, every touch, every word.
And because a beautiful speech can only be followed by tragedy right, Klaus?
Tristan then decides to enter and get his payback for that time Hayley tortured him.
[Quick break to cry all the tears in the world.]
Poor Hayley, now stuck sitting next to her dead husband, apologizes for bringing Jack into her life.
I never met anyone who was always just there for me.
You let me feel what it is to be loved.
But I will make them suffer for this, I promise you.
I will make all of them suffer.
One question: Who is them?
(But thankfully, her hair has never looked better.)
In the end, its a trip to her apartment that makes her decide her fate.
In my favorite exchange, Cami mentions that her choice would be easier if she believed in an afterlife.
Klaus:Vampirism is by definition an afterlife.
Cami:Which one is it, Klaus?
Spoiler: Cami decides its hell, so she says shes not going to feed.
That, and she wants an epic wake complete with an open bar and dancing.
But Cami informs the ancient hybrid that he doesntreallyknow her.
Theres a darkness inside of her, and what if it takes over?
Klaus says it wont, but she once again wins by informing him that he can barely contain his.
(Does he contain his?)
Cami:Better I die as someone Im proud of then live as someone I despise.
Klaus:No, its better a flawed life lived than wasted rotting in clay.
He can either accept that, or they can spend her last day fighting.
They threaten that Hayleys will follow if they dont meet.
But Freya has a better plan.
Just like that, the battle begins.
And then Klaus is there to snatch Aurora.
At the compound, Freya gets rid of her boundary spell and gives Cami a choice.
She can starve alone or risk what remains of her life to help Freya.
Obviously, she chooses the latter.
Once they get Hayley, Tristan goes into one of the shipping containers to get his sister.
Only, Aurora takes the saratura out of his pocket and activates it.
And then she walks through it?!
Fun fact: Thats not Aurora!
(Can you imagine if theyd been wrong about that?)
(Ask Stefan, its not fun.)
Meanwhile, Tristan will be forgotten.
You force her, you lose her forever.
Leaving Klaus, behind, Cami heads to her brothers grave to meet up with Vincent.
Knowing he wont judge her, she speaks openly about her decision.
She can help fix the city because shell finally have the strength to make a difference.
So Vincent offers her his wrist … and she takes it!
Back at Marcels place, Elijah arrives just in time to remind us all where Marcels loyalties lie.
The two toast to the devil in the deep blue sea.
But that can wait.
I could talk for days about what her saying till death do us part means.
Is that her way of saying shes with him until she dies?
Is that her saying that shes fulfilled her vows and can now return to Elijah?
What does it all mean?!
Experiencing a hardcore bloodlust, she informs him that her first feed was amazing.
And now, all she can think is I want to do it again.
Yeah, that feels sexual, but shes talking about drinking blood, so lets all remember that.
