The Originals Recap: Another Mikaelson Christmas Ends in Tragedy 

Thursday’s fall finale gave fans the Klaus/Cami kiss for which they’ve been waiting oh-so patiently, but because no one in New Orleans is allowed to stay happy for long, the romantic twosome quickly became a deadly threesome. “Here’s to an even better tomorrow,” Aurora sneered from her piano as Klaus woke up from a post-makeout nap, only to discover that Cami had gotten her throat slashed (!!!) in her sleep.

Suddenly, my latest talk with Leah Pipes — in which she compared kissing Klaus to her life being over, then confirmed that Aurora was “definitely not done with Cami” — feels more like a prophecy than an interview.

The Vampire Diaries, The Originals Moving to Fridays in 2016

But could this really be it for the ‘ship (formerly) known as #Klamille? I’m not blind, so I’m aware she lost quite a bit of blood, but I also can’t imagine Klaus just burying Cami and moving on with his life. Might he go to Vincent for a quickie revival spell? Or could she have died with vampire blood in her system? (I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.)

RABID-BEKAH | Speaking of prophecies, Rebekah (sort of) fell by family shortly after returning to the Big Easy. It turns out Aya’s dagger was cursed, and it left Bex with an ever-expanding mark on her arm that would eventually drive her completely insane. Hayley got the brunt of Rebekah’s madness, though Cami — good Lord, I can’t even type out her name without hearing Klaus’ screams of agony — also suffered a verbal (and somewhat physical) bashing. And although Freya 

she successfully cured her dear sister, the mark returned, at which point Rebekah asked Elijah to re-dagger her without telling anyone else. You know, because family secrets 

OUT OF THE WOODS | In slightly more uplifting news, it seems that Hayley and Jackson are going to be all right. “My feelings for Elijah are complicated,” she admitted at the top of the hour, “but that doesn’t mean that I love you any less, Jack. I chose you, and I choose you again every single day. Can’t that be enough?” It

enough initially, but after seeing firsthand that it’s futile to ignore the Mikaelsons’ constant need for supernatural assistance, Jackson was able to find some common ground with his wife. After all, as he says, “I was born to love you.”

WITCH, PLEASE | Lastly, Vincent made good on his threat/promise to become the city’s new regent, though he probably wouldn’t have applied for the job if he knew what kind of (somewhat literal) strings would come with it. Tristan, with the Finn necklace in hand, crashed the coronation to inform Vincent that he’s basically his new servant.

fans, I know you’ve got some thoughts about what went down tonight, so drop a comment and let me hear it: Do you think Cami’s gone for good? And did Rebekah’s fall count as “one by family”?

Cami better come back! I waited three seasons for her and Klaus and then she dies!? I would start watching Grey’s anatomy again if I liked that kinda letdown.

Hahaha! I love this comment so much. I agree. The doom and gloom is just not fun.

Cami better be back as a human or a vampire! Her character has really grown on me this season. The Finn things is really annoying.

I completely agree. I love Cami. Klause’s love for her is so beautiful to me. This man will kill anyone to keep her safe and fix anything to make her happy.

Please bring Cami back. Klause deserves it. I’ve been waiting two seasons for this to end too soon. Also I hope they kill the wanna be originals. What makes them think they can beat Klause, Elijah and Rebekah? I know they will come together to end Tristan, Aurora and the other one lol.

I think Cami is dead. But I want her back. Cami and Klaus make a cute couple. I love them two together!

I hope they let Cami live. I can’t wait to see Klaus go off on Aurora. They’ve had some real evil characters, but she’s easily in the top 5. Klaus needs Cami – she is the one being that brings out the truly loving & caring heart that Klaus works oh so hard to hide. She’s great for him & their kids made me cry. :-)

Klaus & Cami’s kiss made me cry…

Yah and he didn’t even sleep with her just napped because he really does love her. He just wanted to enjoying her

I hope Cami isn’t dead. Klaus and Cami are beautiful together and I think she’d make a wonder Queen to Klaus’ King of the vampires. He is ruled by emotion and she is ruled by brains. Perfect match and the sparks…

They better bring cami back.. 2 seasons without missing a single episode, don’t disappoint me know.

I haven’t seen the episode yet, but if Cami is gone for good, I may have to rethink my interest in the show. She wa absolutely my favorite character.

Mine too!!! But she is coming back as a vampire I think! But who gave her blood? I didn’t see anyone give her blood expect perhaps when she was rescued form Aurora but that was days ago.

I can’t even right now. Between Felicity and Cami my week kind of sucks. Let’s just make it a hat trick and televise shooting Santa in the face.

Ok, so after thinking, Cami isn’t dead. To all of you who have watched since day one, what’s the name of the game in New Orleans? (Drumroll please), leverage. If you’ll notice, Tristen, Aurora, and the Stricts are fresh out of it with Rebekka retrieved from the bottom of the gulf. So, why kill Cami, and with no leverage have the wrath of Klaus come crashing down on you? You don’t. Aurora didn’t kill Cami, she sired her, ensuring her own survival.

That doesn’t ensure her survival. Cami would only die if the original tht sired aurora dies not if aurora dies. So there isn’t much leverage there.

Ahhh but you see the Originals is a spin off of TVD, in which anyone can recap, when Elena turned she was sired to Damon. Therefore we do not know if Aurora was killed Cami would die. Js. #bringbackCami!! #Klamillefansunite!!

But Elena was sired to Damon only because she loved him as a human before dying. Cami on the other hand did not love Aurora. So she cannot be sired to Aurora. Also, if Cami does come back as a vampire (which I hope she does, I mean three seasons, one kiss and then sudden death! NO!) she would die only if Rebekah is really killed since she was the one who sired the crazy ex.

Three Bloody seasons and they kill her off, I will drop the show if she’s dead forever.

I’m not even kidding, when I saw Cami’s throat slit I actually started to sob. I love this show so much along with TVD, and I’ve been waiting for Cami and Klaus to happen for two seasons and when it does, SHE DIES? I started crying and I’m so sad it’s the mid season finale. How could they finally make it happen then just kill her off?

TOP teasing Claire Holt and just bring her back permanently

Yeah thats a great point..she has been away long enough…

Her fiancé based in LA, so unless the show moves the whole production to west coast, Claire will always be guest starring the show, unfortunately.

The show is realy great with cami and klaus love triangle…she needs to be there to see the demise of Aurora..PLEASE LET HER LIVE

I’m hoping whoever did that to Cami (my money is on Aurora) somehow gave Cami her blood before they slashed her throat. They revealed some of Cami’s darkness and what if she is turned and becomes a ripper? She has been painted as Klaus’s light these last couple episodes, that would make psycho Aurora happy… Klaus’s new lover whom he views as pure, turning out to be a ripper. This is the first episode I liked Jackson and it is because of his scenes with Freya. I’m glad that Hayley couldn’t deny her love for Elijah to Jackson or Rebekah (I know she didn’t admit it but Jackson knows, he just hasn’t accepted it yet)… I’m having patience! I’ll be following the Mikaelsons to Friday for sure.

Cami is at least still alive as a vampire, IMDB has her as being in 66 episodes which means she will be in the rest of the season and I doubt they are going to do flash backs for the next like 12 episodes so she is present

Klammy and camille can’t die! Plus she’d make an awesome vampire.

I do not think this is it for Cami, at least I hope not. Krause has evolved over the seasons, I believe and has continued to show more compassion and conscious all because of his relationship with Cami, with his family, his relationship with his daughter and

the connections he has with some of the witches, vampires and werewolves. It is a slow process but definitely there. It is refreshing to see this transformation as he is the centre character that has the most demonic traits to overcome. Weekly he demonstrates his changing personality. It is too soon to take Cami away from him.

Rebecca is a favorite of mine and I always enjoy those episodes.

She and Elijah always reinforce the power of a family and the importance of members supporting each other no matter their differences.

I love this show. Lots of lessons to be learned. Keep up the good work and Happy Holiday to all those involved in the production of ‘The Originals’.

My guess is that Cami DID die with vampire blood in her (no thanks to psycho vamp Aurora I’d bet). If you stuck around for the sneak preview of the aftermath when it returns on Jan. 29th (can’t wait that long! ), Klaus is very naturally pissed off and says “These attacks have got to stop!” He said nothing about anyone dying. Having Cami turned would be a twisted way for Aurora to get revenge on Klaus for rejecting her. If so, Cami would no longer be pure, perfect and most importantly, human. I had hope after Vincent became regent and made those threats The Strix might get a taste of their own medicine. Then the Finn card-I wish Freya would have just let him go. He really is a “boar.” Poor Beks! Can a girl get a break? And Elijah having to dagger her!! Tristian, Aurora, Lucien and the Strix have really done a “good” (despicable) job of setting up the Mikealsons to fall into the prophesy. Although on a lighter note, good to see Jackson man up in the end. I have a feeling the family will fall in the season finale, be left with a cliffhanger and sadly, left like that. I think the CW will do a “stupid” and cancel it. I hope not (knocking on wood) because I love this show and tonight’s episode was great!

I hope she is dead, they have zero chemistry. Please just let her die off the show and be done with her. She is bland and Klaus would never stay with such a bland girl for long. They need to pair him with someone good but with some edge to her. Obviously, the earlier posters have never watched Klaus with Caroline, that was chemistry, even Klaus and Aurora had more chemistry in the flashbacks then he has with Cami. I have waited for this character evolve as many have under Plec, but this one has not. She started out boring and has remained a major snooze. They need to cut their losses and move on and use her salary to get a new character, maybe her little sister or something, one that is not so drab.

Totally agree with you, she’s so bland and boring. Klaus needs someone better, he needs a queen, a goodness…personally I always shipped Forwood and did not think Klaus was good for Caroline…but Hayley and Klaus are so freaking hot together😍

I hope Cami’s not gone for good, that would be so sad. Almost everyone Klaus loves DIES!!!!

I can’t believe and certainly hope not, that Cami is dead-dead. Klaus and Cami just really have chemistry and make to good a couple for the writers to just write her off. I mean while yes it is possible, this is the Originals we’re talking about. Hayley died during childbirth only to come back, three selected girls died during the Harvest ritual only for one of them to come back (Monique I believe?). And if you want to include the Vampire Diaries, then Elena’s died only to come back and so has Caroline.

If it were to save Cami’s life, then Klaus would turn her in a second. So if she’s lingering near death then Klaus may still have an opportunity. Lest also not forget that Aurora had bit her. So it is possibly possible that she died with some remains of vampire blood in her system.

We can only hope as I enjoy Cami and adore Leah Pipes!

I hope she is dead. Or if she comes back, they’ll put some darkness into her. This is a character that only began to evolve in these last few episodes, and she is sweet and all, but she has no chemistry with Klaus. I think it should be someone that challenged him, like Caroline did in TVD.

I love Leah Pipes, and I really wanted to like her character but I just can’t force it. Its like Olicity all over again, zero chemistry😣

So not okay!! My heart can’t take that kind of whiplash, writers! First I’m so happy and content, I knew someone was going to infiltrate the evening’s happiness, but not the death of ours and Niklaus’ beloved Camille!! Possible kidnappings or theft of Freya’s spelled knife (had it worked on Bex). This sux I’m not happy…. Dammit Vincent better do something about it, because last he knew of Cami, she was doing him a favor with that detective! Loyalty is demanded Mr. New regent witch, will you act?

I don’t think cami is gone, she can’t be. They always say people who died on the show never stay dead. so if someone survives it should be cami she is a powerful character and maybe this needed to happen so she can turn to a vampire. I really hope they don’t kill her off. I would just die.

Klaus was devasted! After their kiss and cuddle in bed he wakes up to her corpse. I need Klamille to be ok! I love them. It was beautiful yet tragic! Maybe Cami is gonna be a vamp! I hope!

I think Finn is the family member one of them will fall by. And Cami is definitely not dead. She’s been turned for sure.

cami have to return no second thoughts about that,

Please come back Cami just when Klaus is happy this happens. NOOOOOO bring her back to be with Klaus.

I think cami will come back. The writers probably had to make it seem like that to make sure that we are going to watch the show when it comes back. Or at least I hope. Please don’t kill cami!!!!!!

I think Aurora compelled cami to stay quite feed her her blood then killed her. Not only would that make cami not pure to klaus so she thinks, but Aurora seems to not be the type to kill her and that be enough she wants to see klaus sufer the lost of human cami. But that’s just my opinion, not like cami being a vampire wolud Change his feelings right?

Oh no, I definitely did!! And I was kinda sorta hoping something would blossom there, and then Elijah and Hayley could reunite and everything be ok in the world again.

Dont give us 3 seasons of build up only to kill her off in 1 episode. Fix Klamille

When I saw the finale, I couldn’t believe my eyes🙌 I’m really hoping Camille doesn’t come back! She is bland, I don’t understand Klaus fascination for such her😪 I NEED KLAYLEE to happen ASAP👌😍

Please bring cami back!!!! Niklaus & Cami really make a good one i waited for two seasons only to find out dat camille would die just like dat she z klaus mind!!!! dont let her leave that way.

Bruhhhhhh, I’m mad lol They have to bring her back. Why do Klaus like that? Smh, she has to comeback..

I didn’t wait all this time to see them kiss just to see Cami killed off.

I don’t think she is gone completely. Klaus will find a way to revive her.

Poor Rebekah..how many times does she get daggered in this show?? I wish she could stay!! Cami was kinda lame in my opinion..but I like that Klaus has turned over a new leaf for it..it keeps it interesting.. I loved him with caroline on TVD soo im rooting for Cami now.. Bring her back!!! Great episode though! Love the originals and hope it stays on air for many more seasons!!!

I really can’t handle camille being dead, if she really is dead. I soberly l sincerely hope she’ll still be on the show. Alive or vampire. We’ve all been waiting for Klaus to be with someone. It has to be Cami!

No no no! I will not accept that Cami is dead. Two seasons waiting for a kiss then this happens. Bring her back Julie Plec!
