“ | Don't you think for a moment that you've failed me. You stayed my hand. Quelled my rage. You inspired goodness in me, and unlike all of souls I've encountered and forgotten in the long march of time. I will carry you with me. | ” |
This is the romantic relationship between the Original hybrid, Klaus Mikaelson, and the vampire, Camille O'Connell.
Klaus and Camille's relationship together started slowly. They first met at Rousseau's, a bar in New Orleans. Later, they bonded over a painter's artwork when Camille described the artwork and the painter. Klaus was impressed by her and Camille was seen to bring out the humanity in Klaus. During the seasons they grew closer.
Cami supported Klaus against his father and was the only one who trusted him in his solo fight against Dahlia. On Christmas night Rebekah urged her brother "not to walk away from love but towards it" while staring at Cami. Klaus followed his sister's advice and declared his feelings to Cami outside on the balcony. They shared their first kiss and later that night they were seen making out on his bed. After they fell asleep, Klaus woke up to find Cami's dead body with her throat slashed beside him. He cried, went on a rampage smashing things before Cami suddenly woke up. They found out Cami was transitioning into a vampire because Aurora had compelled Cami when Aurora hold her hostage in the church. Cami had to drink a vile of Aurora's blood the minute she knew Klaus was in love with her. Klaus swore Aurora would regret this and begged Cami to feed or else she would die for good. At first Cami wanted to die but after consulting her friend Vincent she drank Vincent's blood.
Vampire-Cami's attitude towards Klaus changed. She wanted to control her own life which lead to several quarrels between them. Their mutual struggle for power was symbolized by each claiming the ownership of the Dark Objects. Their fight resulted in Cami stealing the white oak horse which belonged to Hope to force Klaus into handing over 'her dark objects'. Her actions ended in disaster loosing the deadly weapon to Aurora. Klaus wanted Cami to realize she brought his whole family in jeopardy but he also forgave her. Cami explained her action by saying she would never be vulnerable again. Klaus felt guilty about not protecting her when she was murdered by Aurora. Also he was hurt: "You should have trusted me". At the time Klaus kept out of Cami's way but he asked Hayley to look out for Cami in his place.
In A Streetcar Named Desire, Klaus took his revenge on Aurora by bricking her alive behind a wall. When Cami found out Klaus let Aurora live she got paranoid. Cami tells Vincent she was sure Aurora would find a way to free herself and get back to Cami. She worried about who's side Klaus would be on eventually. That's why she decided to drive Klaus off in An Old Friend Calls, by lying to him, telling that she didn't love him anymore because her human side is gone. Their relationship was unsure then. Klaus only meant to say goodbye to Cami just before he left New Orleans together with Hayley and Hope. After Klaus returns he was taken hostage by Lucien and Cami along with help from Hayley saved him from Aurora. When Lucien discovered Aurora did not love him, he bit Cami to draw Klaus to him, however upon Cami's request Klaus sat with her and wrote her will and when the pain became to much, Klaus, gave her a dream of a perfect day, and professed his love for her. Cami passed away later that night. Klaus continued to grieve Cami's death for years before his own death. Before his own death, Klaus hallucinated seeing Cami and she begged him not to return to his dark side when the Hollow was inside Klaus.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series[]
Season Four[]
Klaus seemed to have taken an interest in Camille. He first saw her when she was bartending, someone she later remembered as being the "$100 guy". However later on, after being given the news about his child, he was more interested in her when she was looking at an artist painting and she described the story she assumed of the artist. Her words about the man in the painting being "alone", caused him to show his humanity and seemingly change his mind towards the future of his unborn child. He later chose to withhold from her that his child lived, not wanting her to get further involved in the supernatural than she already was.
Throughout The Originals Series[]
In House of the Rising Son, while sitting in a bar, Klaus noticed Marcel staring at Cami as she sat at another table studying. When she got up to leave, Klaus brought her over to Marcel and he asked her out. Later, Klaus compelled Cami to give Marcel a chance and report on where he went and who he saw. In Tangled Up In Blue, their relationship changed slightly, as he was seen being protective of her. For example, he was not exactly pleased about her being Rebekah's distraction for Marcel during the charity event and compelled her in the end to make her forget about Marcel's lashing out. Although this could have been also for his own gain since he needed her to give his former protégé another chance. There was an indirect hint about their personal interests in each other, very similar to their conversation in the pilot, when they shared a moment and she interpreted it romantically while Klaus asked he to give Marcel another chance. "Wow, I totally misread that". She commented embarrassed, while he answered, "No. You read it quite well. But we all have our roles to play". He then compelled her to remember the good time she had with Marcel at the ball. In Girl in New Orleans, Camille was told about the supernatural world by Klaus who compelled her not to be afraid and to only remember that he is a vampire only when he is around her. Later when Camille saw him at her bar she expressed curiosity towards his powers which he showed amusement to and compelled her to help him meet Davina who Marcel told her to look after. Later at the church, while listening to Tim's violin, she told him about her brother mass murder-suicide at that church and that she'd had a hard time coping since then. Klaus showed up at her apartment and she invited him in. They talked, and Camille got emotional. She begged him to not compel her but he does since he believed she was letting the thought about what her brother had done consume her and promised to find out the truth about it. In Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, Klaus showed up at Rousseau's and told her the truth behind who made Sean do what he had done. Once he mentioned Agnes was dead Camille was angered and slapped him. Klaus didn't retort, but instead asked her why she had done that. She yelled that won't bring her brother back and Klaus told her "In thousand years that I lived people have died for less." She vowed to undo the compulsion and when she did, that he was going to wish he had never laid eyes on her. Klaus then used his super speed to leave the bar. In The River in Reverse, Camille was typing Klaus' memoirs until she became irritated at him for saying the same thing over and over again: that everyone he knows is out to get him. She told him that he repeated the same destructive cycle and the he was the architect of his own unhappiness. When he says he didn't ask her advice, she deduced that she chose her to type his life story because she has a master's in psychology and Klaus wanted someone to talk to and to understand him. Soon, she became angry and left. Camille used a secret code that she and her brother, Sean, used to lead herself to discover a newspaper from the early 1900's with Klaus and Marcel in the picture. This allowed her, once out of Klaus' presence and therefore compelled to forget about him, to discover that he was a vampire. In Reigning Pain in New Orleans, Marcel walked in while Cami continued typing Klaus' memoirs. Klaus informed him that Camille knew about the supernatural in New Orleans. Marcel thought that Klaus had compelled Camille's feelings for him but Klaus assured him that her feelings were real. Klaus later stopped by her apartment to compel her into leaving town at the behest of Kieran. He opened his mind to her and she saw various glimpses of his tortured past. Camille was saddened by what she saw and stated nobody should have had to go through what he did. Klaus seemed touched by her concern but ultimately compelled her to forget everything. Davina later stooped by Camille's apartment to ask for help, but Camille did not remember her. Davina deduced that she had been compelled and began to undo Klaus' compulsion on Camille, which had her screaming in pain. In The Casket Girls, Davina continued to use decompulsion on Camille, which caused her to remember all the things Klaus compelled her to forget. Later, Davina and Camille walked down the street with Davina wearing a veil trying to get out of the Quarter. Camille spotted Klaus in the crowd and they snuck away through a back alley. Camille later spotted Klaus and warned him that if he ever hurt Davina or Josh again, she would expose him to the world. In Dance Back from the Grave, Marcel, still mourning Davina's death, went to Rousseau's to drink and find's Camille. He told Camille about Davina dying and the two bond and talked about Klaus and Papa Tunde, a witch doctor who had gone up against Klaus in the 1900s. Papa Tunde came to Rousseau's and attacked Marcel. Camille tried to stop Tunde but was casually brushed aside. She called Klaus, who instructed her to distance herself immediately. Marcel was almost desiccated by Papa Tunde's blade, and Klaus instructed her to go find someone off the street for Marcel to feed on. She said that there was not enough time, and she let Marcel feed on her, much to Klaus' ire. In Crescent City, Camille was at St. Anne's Church in the congregation listening to Kieran giving a sermon at the newly reopened church's first service. She looked and saw Klaus sitting behind her but quickly looked away. After the service, Klaus and Marcel stop to ask Kieran if he or his sources have any info on Papa Tunde. Camille came up and coldly congratulated Kieran on getting the church running again, said hello to Marcel, and gave Klaus the cold shoulder before walking away. Klaus commented to Kieran that he had tried to send Camille away. Later, at Rousseau's, Kieran walked in and Camille chastised him because she wanted to make amends with him but saw him talking with Klaus in the open. Kieran then told Camille that he had been hexed by a witch. When wondering what she could do to help Kieran, Genevieve told her that Kieran would die unless Camille shoved Papa Tunde's blade into Klaus' heart. Later, Camille told Klaus about Kieran's condition and was sitting in St. Anne's Church with the blade when he showed up. She hid it and told him that Kieran was resting and praying in the attic. She commented on how he was going to go crazy and die just like Sean had and they would still be in a stupid fight because Kieran lied to her about witches, vampires, and Klaus. Klaus tells her that he had done terrible things in his life but that Kieran was a good man who had lied to protect her. He went on to tell her that the witches who hexed Kieran are the enemy because of what they had done. As he rose, Camille also rises and held the blade up for him to see. After a pause between them, Camille handed him the blade and told him what the witches had wanted her to do. She told him that if she had been more like him, she could've done it. She told him that if a war was coming then she wanted to be on the winning side. Touched that Camille would still side with him in spite of everything she already knew about Klaus, he said that they should try to save Kieran. Klaus bled the vervain out of Kieran's system and compelled him to overcome the hex. However, it did not work and Klaus left to find Bastianna and kill her. In Le Grand Guignol, Elijah summoned Camille to the compound to watch over Klaus while he recovers from the effects of Papa Tunde's Blade. Elijah told her to let Klaus feed from her because she was on vervain. After Cami fed him, she asked how he could hate his own sister and Klaus told her how Rebekah and Marcel had betrayed him by summoning Mikael to New Orleans. When Cami told him that the pair could be anywhere in the world, he told her that they'd need a cloaking spell to stay hidden from him and for that they would have to come back to New Orleans. Klaus told her about Lana, the leader of the Crescent Wolf Pack in 1919 and of his love of the opera Les Huguenots. She followed him to the living room where he told her about how a white oak stake can kill an Original and about how Elijah had been unable to stop Mikael's rampage in 1919. After getting a text telling him that Rebekah and Marcel have been sighted, he knocked over a vase and picked up a white oak stake and tells her that it can't be destroyed before he dashes off. Cami found Klaus in the street feeding off a random person. He proceeded to tell her that he was going to kill Rebekah. Cami told him that he'd never forgive himself if he killed his own sister. She told him not to be like his father. Hearing this, he took her to the opera house and told her about what Mikael had done to him, Rebekah and Marcel that night in 1919. Afterwards, he told her that he won't hunt down Rebekah and Marcel for centuries, but would simply and quickly kill them. He rushed off, leaving Cami alone on the street. In Moon Over Bourbon Street, Camille visited Klaus, but was surprised to see that Genevieve was there half naked. Camille suggested that Genevieve should leave since she had served her purpose. Genevieve responded that the O'Connells seemed to love to piss off witches and left. Camille told Klaus how surprised she was that he was sleeping with the witch that had tried to blackmail her into stabbing him with Papa Tunde's Blade. Klaus dismissed her argument and asked her what she was doing there. Camille wanted Klaus' help to save Kieran and asked Klaus to use his connection with Genevieve to find a cure. He said there was nothing that can be done, the curse has already taken root and the damage was done. Camille refused to accept that and told Klaus that if he had any concept of family he would do the same, she then walked away. In The Big Uneasy, Klaus approached Camille in the bar looking to offer her help concerning her uncle Kieran's Hex. Knowing that Genevieve was the one who could help, Camille at first refused Klaus' offer then changes her mind, Later after Genevieve refused to help Kieran due to Klaus' killing her minion, Klaus went to the bar to apologize to Camille for having costed her uncle a chance at life, and to confront her about her one-night-stand with Marcel, Camille refuted that he was just mad he didn't get to control it, Klaus got angry, he stormed off after telling Camille to warn Marcel that if he ever saw him again, he would kill him. In An Unblinking Death, Camille's Uncle was reaching the end of his line, and needed Klaus to help her. He came upon her request, and tried to help her by telling her that the electro-shock therapy wouldn't work and that it would kill Father Kieran. She was crying, and told Klaus that she couldn't just give up. And he said, "Don't give up, let go." Camille convinced Klaus to give her uncle his blood, and he came back as a vampire with the hex 'gone'. But, it turns out the hex was still there and when Klaus left Father Kieran was being taunted by Bastianna and completed his transition into a vampire. He then went after Camille, but just as he was about to kill Camille, Klaus came in and killed Kieran. He then carried her home. In A Closer Walk With Thee, Klaus experienced a nightmare. In the nightmare he is at Kieran O'Connell's funeral and he approached Camille and kissed her on the cheek. In From a Cradle to a Grave, Camille at first teamed up with Davina and Marcel to take down Klaus, as his blood was needed to cure the Vampires that were ravaged by the Guererra Werewolf attack, showing them Kieran's weapons vault. Meanwhile at the memorial for the deceased members of the community, Camille spotted the photo of Klaus' baby and dizzy from shock, she tracked all the way to the compound to console him in his moment of need. She started crying and telling him how it's all her fault, but Klaus didn't want to hear a word of it. "Camille, I appreciate you being here". He said, "But I cannot seek comfort in you. We cannot be friends". She seemed shocked and hurt and responded, "Why the hell not?" Klaus turned to face her. "You had me pegged from the start. A man damaged by his demons. Well, those demons aren't dormant, and they are hellbent on killing me and everything beautiful around me. And you are beautiful". Upon listening to this, Camille started to cry but she left anyway. |
In Rebirth, Camille went to the Abattoir searching for Klaus. She could hear a vampire silently whooshing and did not see it when Klaus came up behind her; she sensed that he was there but he was gone by the time she turned to look. Klaus continued to hide in the shadows as Camille searched for him. Elijah came out and told her that Klaus didn't want to see her. After Elijah rebuked her for trespassing in his home and putting herself in danger, she told him that the Guerrera werewolves were following her and that New Orleans was being run by them. She suggested that that the Originals could use Marcel's help to stop the Guerreras since he did it years ago. After she left, Elijah tells Klaus that he liked Camille's spirit, to which Klaus concurred. In Live and Let Die, Camille was seen talking to Davina who was hiding from Klaus with Mikael in her family cabin in the woods, when Camille hung up, she turned to find Klaus eavesdropping on her phone call, she stated that she didn't know where Davina's exact location was, which he found amusing that he picked up her location by listening closely to the background sounds of the phone call, Camille urged him not to hurt Davina and agreed to join him in his quest for her and Mikael. The next scene, Klaus entered a bar to find Camille sipping a drink, he lamented on how he's been waiting for too long for her to come out, she replied that she needed a drink to go this revenge trip, he then completed his sentence saying that Mikael needs to die first. Camille asked for his plan and he showed her the Papa Tunde blade. He then stood up and started to leave when Camille took his hand and told him that she understood his pain and she understood what he was fighting against. And then continued "The real question is, what are you fighting for?" "Ask me to dance" She said. Klaus answered "You want to dance?" Camille said that she never wanted to dance, but was trying to make a point. "There's more to life than the pain that they made you feel. A cold beer, a slow song, a good friend. There are good things, Klaus." She took Klaus' hand, "You need to see that too." They then started to dance slowly and Klaus held her closer to himself. Then he twirled Camille and whooshed away. After he stabbed Mikael with Papa Tunde's blade, Camille then entered the scene rushing to Klaus, and asked Klaus, while she panted, "Where is she? If anything happens to her, Klaus I swear to god..!" Klaus then interrupted her answering "Davina's fine" and explained that she would wake up with a spectacular headache and said she should count herself lucky. Camille was relieved. Klaus then continued "Of course, if you drop dead of a heart attack, I may have to kill her on "general principle." And Cami answered "You're the one who ditched me at the bar, I had to hitchhike and then run on the back roads of the bayou!" Klaus smiled at her saying "Well, your perseverance is duly noted". Cami answered "Oh, shut up! I am so mad at you I can hardly speak. But I am here and it is to tell you, not to bargain with you and not to shame you, but to tell you, under no circumstances will you hurt that girl. Do you understand me?" Klaus then told her she has his word. Camille then hugged Klaus. Klaus was surprised. She then looks at the ground and saw Mikael. She asks if he was dead and Klaus told her smiling that he was still alive and in complete and utter agony. In Red Door, Camille stopped Klaus from killing Kaleb as he is "just a kid" and took the stake and goes to get the car to take Davina to the hospital after what Klaus had done to her. She goes to the car and was abducted by Mikael, who took her through the woods. When Klaus found them, he swore to make Mikael pay for hurting Cami and Mikael laughed at this, saying that it was sweet that the Ker whines for its bitch. During the confrontation, Mikael stabbed Klaus with the White Oak Stake which caused Cami to scream "No!". As Klaus fell down to the ground desiccating, he and Cami stared into each other's eyes. After the confrontation, Mikael, feeling victorious, realized the stake didn't work, seeing as Davina and Kaleb were draining its power to kill Klaus even whilst in his heart. While Mikael attempted to stop Davina and his son, Camille pulled the stake out of Klaus just before Mikael stopped Davina. After his reinforcements show up to save him before he was resurrected, Klaus thanked Cami for saving his life and she replied that it is the least he could do for telling him not to kill Mikael. Klaus responded that he would kill Mikael alone for hurting her. In The Brothers That Care Forgot, after discovering puncturing wounds down her back, Cami went to the compound seeking Klaus' help only to find out that Davina had neutralized him. She begged Davina to resurrect Klaus for her sake. In The Map of Moments, Klaus returned to the compound with Rebekah after Esther's spell. Davina told him that Cami wasn't awake either. Suddenly, Cami awakened and everyone turns to her. Klaus says "Camille?" with a concerned look. Camille answered that she suddenly loves that name which caused Klaus to smile. In Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire, Klaus was talking about his family to Camille as they drove to the safe house. She told him how she was a little worried about Finn, but he tells her that Finn wouldn't find her there. He then introduced her to Hope. Cami was at first stunned but later was relieved to see Hope was alive. Klaus told Cami that once it is safe for her to leave the secret could not leave with her. Cami nodded in understanding and went to meet Hope as Klaus watches her. Later on inside the house, Klaus told Camille that while he and Hayley would return home, she would remain with Elijah in order to help with the side effects he had been dealing with since his time with Esther. Klaus left them at the safe house. In I Love You, Goodbye, during Hayley and Jackson's wedding reception, Cami was in the nursery holding hope and looking out the window when Klaus walked in. He said he had heard Hope crying and Cami said that she was probably teething. Klaus thanked Cami for taking care of Hope and Cami said that Hope likes it in the mansion. Cami asked Klaus if he wanted to hold Hope, but he doesn't respond. Cami told him that even though the situation is overwhelming, according to developmental psychology, if the parents are happy, then the baby is happy. This caused Klaus to smile. In When the Levee Breaks, Cami came in as Klaus was painting and asked if it was a bad time. He then turned around and said that he assumed that Elijah asked her to come. Cami told him that he looks like he needs some fresh air and asked if he wanted to go for a walk with her. Klaus rejected her offer and told her he will inform Elijah that she came. Cami walked closer to him and asked him to talk to her and not because Elijah sent her. In Fire with Fire, Cami went to The Abattoir. She saw Klaus stabbing Elijah with Papa Tunde's Blade. He didn't want to hurt Cami but he bit her to trick Dahlia into thinking he was on her side. As Klaus fed on Cami he got inside of her head to tell her he knew how to defeat Dahlia. He told her to pass this information to Elijah. In Ashes to Ashes, Cami told Vincent she has complicated feelings for Klaus. |
In For the Next Millennium, Klaus asked Cami to escort him in the opening of his exhibition which Cami guessed he is asking her to come so that he won't be alone as all the people he loved were angry with him. Klaus also gave Cami a gift which was inspired by the scene from Always and Forever in which Cami and Klaus watched a man painting on a street corner of the French Quarter. However in this painting, it was just Cami standing on the brick street by Rousseau's. In You Hung the Moon, Cami asked Klaus about his old acquaintance, Lucien Castle, and suspected that Klaus' sire was involved with the murders that had been happening in New Orleans. She event suggested to him that he should put Lucien down, but Klaus only lightly responded to her theory. After hearing Cami's theory, he began to keep tabs on Lucien. In I'll See You in Hell or New Orleans, Klaus got a tip from someone that Lucien plans on killing Cami for investigating him and immediately rushed to her side when he found out that New Orleans' police department has Lucien under arrest. He found Cami conversing with Lucien about the murders and asked Cami to leave him with Lucien to further discuss the murders that have been occurring in the city. They both come to the conclusion, separately (Cami with Vincent and Klaus on his own, along with Elijah) that Lucien was innocent as far as the New Orleans murders go. In The Other Girl in New Orleans, Klaus found out how Cami was taken. He threatened Lucien if Aurora killed Cami. Later, Klaus has a run-in with his old lover, Aurora, and rescued Cami after telling Aurora that she meant nothing to him. Cami and Klaus had a brief, but emotional reunion and he took her back to his home. She agreed to stay in Klaus' home (being he asked her to do so in order to protect her). They had a heart to heart discussion about Cami's darkest secret before Cami fell asleep. Klaus watched her in complete contentment before putting a jacket on her as a blanket. In Savior, Camille stayed at Klaus' house for a couple of days in order for him to keep her safe. They were talking about Mikaelsons prophecy until Vincent called Camille to meet him. On the streets Vincent tell Camille that detective Kinney is acting strange and that he got fired on his job. She told him that she would try talk to him. Klaus followed Camille all the way to his house. Cami told him that she didn't need a bodyguard however Klaus replied that he came as a friend. He heard that Kinney was trying to kill himself because of Lucien's compulsion. At Camille's plea he compelled him to go to his family to celebrate Christmas. Later, Camille thanked Klaus for helping, touching him on his face telling him that it wasn't nothing as he had said it was. Before they could say anything, Elijah called Klaus on the phone and told him that Freya had been poisoned and that Rebekah would soon go rabid. Klaus told Camille that they would need to go to Lucien's house to get the antidote. Camille was reluctant to go but Klaus dismissed that, saying that he cannot save his sisters if he was cannot keep her safe. She decides to go with him. At the compound, Rebekah had thrust her hand into Hayley's chest, ready to rip her heart out until Klaus arrived. Rebekah remarked that Klaus was afraid that he would ruin Camille to the point that he kept her behind glass like a breakable object, adding that every time he and Elijah brought women into their lives that they turn into poison and that Camille would grow toxic, too. After they save their lives, Elijah, Klaus, Camille, Rebekah, Hayley and Jackson celebrated Christmas with Hope. Rebekah noted that Klaus was more merrier, saying that all that therapy from Camille was paying off. Knowing that the Strix would found out that Rebekah was on the surface instead at the bottom of the ocean, she needed to leave New Orleans. At her parting, Rebekah told Klaus that their roles are now reverse. She would run away from love while he will run towards it as she looked at Camille who hadn't heard her while Klaus looked at her with a smile. On the balcony, Klaus approached Camille to talk. He asked her about her thoughts were now. She told him that she was thinking about him and what Rebekah said that she sees her as a fragile thing to be kept behind glass to protect her from Aurora. She asked him if that's true in which Klaus said to stop because when he thought about Aurora then he thought about horrible ways that Aurora could have hurt her. She tells him that she didn't hurt her because of him, remarking that she lost count on how many times he had come for her and for everyone he cared about but today he saved someone who mean nothing to him to which she asked him why. He replied that he did it because she'd wished for it, adding that whatever was important to her was important to him, what made her happy he wanted to keep it so, what scares her he wanted to tear apart and that he didn't wish to watch her from behind glass. Camille asked what he wished for. After a long time, Klaus kissed her which embarked their first kiss. They shared their love in his bed, enjoying their moment. Aurora played the piano when Tristan arrived with a present. He said that she plays it beautifully, adding that she should play more. She replied that she never stopped playing and that she composed sonatas in her head. Tristan asked her if she had a good day in which she tells him that she'd had a beautiful day. Aurora ended the conversation that there would be a better tomorrow. Back at the compound, Klaus woke up after both he and Camille had fallen asleep. He noticed that he had blood on his hand while he had them around Camille. He looked at Camille and to his great shock he saw that her throat has been slashed. Klaus began to cry as he held Camille's lifeless body in his arms. His sad cry could have been heard across the whole street. In A Ghost Along the Mississippi, having found Cami's dead body in bed beside him Klaus went on a rampage smashing things around the room before returning to the bed and holding her body. Cami awakened with a gasp and said Klaus' name. Klaus asked her what happened and she explained the rest of what Aurora had done to her at the church. Klaus vowed to avenge her and Cami goes off to shower. Meanwhile Klaus and Elijah discuss what they are going to do an decided to first and foremost remove the Serratura from play by get Freya's pendent back and allying with Vincent which Elijah left to do, Klaus staying to comfort Cami. Once out of the shower Cami began complaining of the light and sound. When Klaus told her it will get better once she fed Cami got angry and informed him she still hadn't decided if she was going to become a vampire. Klaus and Cami go to her apartment. Once there Cami saw a picture of her and her uncle at her graduation, she began talking about how her uncle had wanted a good life for her, a husband and children. Upon realizing that as a vampire she would never have children, she remarks how her family line would die with her. She expressed how she wished she believed in an afterlife, Klaus reminds her that vampirism was an afterlife. Cami helped the Mikaelsons rid themselves of their Tristan problem when she was made to look like Aurora to lure him into a storage container which they used the Serratura to trap him in. Cami however was able to get out due to the boundary did not register her as living or dead due to her having been in transition. In Wild at Heart, Cami left the abattoir after being given a daylight ring made by Freya. She went to a bar and saw a man hassling the bartender and compelled him to get a lot of money, buy a lot of alcohol and tip the bartender very well. Klaus had a drink sent over to her and waved to her when she got it. Klaus attempted to teach her about being a vampire but she won't have it and snapped his neck, she sought out Will Kinney pretending to bump into him before compelling him to help her get her family's collection of dark objects from Lucien's penthouse. Cami waited outside due to having never been invited into the penthouse, Klaus arrived just as the were abut to leave. Cami had taken a round object from the box and was throwing it up and catching it Klaus snatched it out of the air and began lecturing her on how she was once so against compulsion having believed in free will so strongly Cami rebuked him for his hypocrisy due to the fact that he'd killed hundreds of people Klaus corrected her that he counted his kills in the hundreds of thousands. She attempted to Will but Klaus stopped her. Klaus dragged Cami and the dark objects back to the abattoir. Cami began demanding he give them back as they were her family's however Klaus informed her that his brother Kol had been the one to make most of them making them him family's. He then told her she was going to stay put until his stay otherwise she protested and Hayley and Elijah step in saying that he could not keep her there. Hayley told Klaus to let her talk to Cami because she knew what it was like to suddenly be a vampire due to enemies of the Mikaelsons. Having over heard Klaus and Elijah conversation and connected the dots as to what the weapon was Cami when into Hayley and Jackson's apartment, which with Jackson's recent death made her not need an invitation and took the white knight Klaus had made for Rebekah as a child. Upon realizing Cami had it Klaus called her and asked for it back she informed him she'd give it back as soon as she has "her" dark objects back. In Dead Angels, after much struggle Klaus agreed to give Cami the dark objects. After he returns from collecting them he was attacked and had his neck broken. One of the witches then went and tortured Cami until she dropped the Wooden knight Cami smashed one of the dark objects in an attempt to stop her but the witch still got it. Once Klaus awoke he stormed in to the tomb that Cami was in and she informed him that she'd lost it to this he told her that if she hadn't taken it they wouldn't be in this situation anyway and that until they got it back she wasn't leaving his sight. Her phone rang and Klaus told her to answer it. On the other end of the line was Davina who informed them that the witch that had the wooden knight was not working for the Strix like they had thought but for Aurora de Martel. In An Old Friend Calls, Klaus approached Cami in Saint Anne's while she was training with Vincent and asked her if he could talk to her as his therapist. He took her to a cafe and he spoke to her of his past during the late 20th century. Cami informed Klaus that she believes she was no longer fit to be his therapist. Later Klaus went to her again in Saint Anne's and told her that despite Aurora's intention to lessen his feelings for her by turning Cami it had not worked, but Cami told him that it had worked on lessening her own feelings for him. In The Devil Comes Here and Sighs, they tensely converse before Cami witnesses Lucien kidnap Klaus. Cami later assisted Hayley in trying to rescue Klaus from Aurora and Lucien's capture. After battling with Aurora, Cami and Hayley were able to rescue Klaus. However, later on Lucien entered Cami's apartment after killing her neighbor who her apartments name was under and gives her a lethal bite as revenge against Klaus. In No More Heartbreaks, Cami managed to escape her apartment, away from Lucien. Suffering from Lucien's lethal bite, Cami managed to run to the Mikaelson Compound. She called out Klaus' name and he came running to her concerned. It doesn't take Klaus long to figure out what was wrong with Cami.

In No Quarter, Klaus has been recently stabbed once again by Papa Tunde's blade by Marcel. In this particular episode, Klaus hallucinates having a full conversation with Cami. This scene was the first scene they shared together which entailed a full on conversation since Cami's death years back. While Klaus continues to suffer in pain, Cami suddenly appears asking Klaus what he did this time. Klaus was surprised to see her since she was dead. Cami then corrects him that she was just a part of his imagination and a way to distract his brain from the pain, so his mind conjured up the first thing it could think of to temporarily suppress his pain: Cami. Klaus stubbornly claims that he can endure the pain, but Cami ultimately disagrees with him and points out his darkest fears are active while being trapped down there. Klaus angrily retorts her claims, but she continues to press until he gives into her emotionally. Klaus claims to miss her and his daughter but also believes to be a darkness to them all, even now. However, Cami reminds him of his sacrifice and how he saved his family, and that they will return the favor and save Klaus. Klaus then expresses his worries of his family being caught if they do come for him. Cami then presses him to find his way out of the underground Abattoir.
In Queen Death, when Vincent comments that Klaus is finally living up to the potential Cami saw in him as he is about to sacrifice himself to take down the Hollow, Klaus' sarcasm was lost and he looked touched and pleased at Vincent's words.
