And a key factor in that journey has been Cami.
No matter which couple you might ship, I think we can all agree that Klaus let Cami in.
Furthermore, he liked the humanity she brought out in him.

With that in mind, lets say farewell, shall we?
In other words, its a trap and Klaus needs to not lose his mind.
Sensing whats wrong, Klaus pulls up Camis sleeve to reveal Luciens bite.
As for Klaus, hell tell Cami he loves her tomorrow, because she is not dying today.
Elijah then brings Vincent into the mix after all, this is an all-hands-on-deck situation.
With that, Vincent runs to Camis apartment to gather the blood left by her fancy throwing star.
Plan B: Maybe Hope can help considering shes a witch with the wolf gene and magical healing powers?
Well, its worth a shot, so Hayley and Elijah head off to retrieve her from Mary.
It simply took Cami some time to realize that shes the kind of person who helps people like Aurora.
As she says, Im not gonna let her take that away from me.
But the story she loved most of all?
The life story of Klaus Mikaelson.
With that in mind, Cami asks Klaus to serve as her stenographer this time around.
She might have made peace with dying, but she doesnt want to leave without a will.
Cami leaves Davina her closet but nothing too revealing and Josh her records.
Vincent gets her books and all of Kierans files.
As for Elijah, he gets the old game of Trivial Pursuit under her bed.
Hayley will hold onto her dark objects until Hope a New Orleans witch is old enough to have them.
Hes still not ready to face the fact that he could lose her.
Cami is going to die.
Continuing the lesson how good is Andrew Lees, by the way?!
And when Lucien decides to let Davina go, he simply tells her that shes not his to kill.
Kol, knowing that he will eventually give in, asks Davina to dagger him.
With that, she daggers him.
But Klaus asks her to enjoy the day.
After all, theyre simply killing time until they can heal her … right?
Well, thats the plan, but Vincent and company are running out of ideas.
They cant put Camis soul in Dahlias pendant as it was made for the Mikaelson family only.
And when Freya mentions putting Cami in another persons body without her permission, Elijah steps forward.
The wise brother says, We cannot deny her the dignity of choice.
Camille lived with grace; she will have it now.
Thats a human impulse, she tells him.
And that means that hes capable of everything that comes with being human joy, hope, love.
You are loved, she tells him.
She wants him to remember that because she wont be around to remind him.
At that point, Cami realizes that Klaus has recreated the night they met.
He remembers every detail.
Even though were so different, I feel like Ive always known you, she tells him.
But when Klaus says, I do love you, you know, Cami realizes her fate is sealed.
In a beautiful, very realistic moment from these writers, Cami starts to panic.
I really dont have another tomorrow, do I, she asks.
I wanted to be brave.
When I said I was ready to die, I was full of it.
You stayed my hand, quelled my rage, he says.
You inspired goodness in me.
All of that anger, the cycle of abuse that Mikael began, you might end it.
So you’ve got the option to be the light for your little girl.
Just know there will be no more pain.
You will find peace.
And then Cami desiccates.
One at a time, everyone gets their chance to say goodbye.
Sometimes I cant stand him, Hayley admits.
But she always figured if Klaus could like Cami, he couldnt be that bad.
As she pulls the sheet over Camis face, Hayley tells her, This family owes you.
Its enough to comfort Klaus (and enough to absolutely destroy me).
But they might have a bigger problem on their hands.
