Klaus and Cami telling Marcel about her role in Klaus’s game
Cami is just too much fun, here. The way she has no trouble telling Klaus off cracks me up. She knows, not only how powerful he is, but also how ruthless. She knows damn well that he not only CAN kill her in a heartbeat, but that he wouldn’t hesitate to do so if it suited his purpose. And she always speaks her mind, anyway. And then we get Klaus making jokes. I love Klaus’s sense of humor. So much fun.
Hayley asking Rebekah and Elijah to save the wolves
Hayley doesn’t even know yet that she’s an Alpha. And she’s already acting like their Queen. And of course, she’s smart enough to play the one card that even Rebekah can’t refute – family. She knows Rebekah well enough at this point that she knows that pointing out that these people are her family will get Rebekah on board. Because family is the one thing that Rebekah will always fight for, no matter what. Of course, Elijah would need no coaxing. He’ll do just about anything for Hayley – even if neither of them is willing to admit that, yet.
Klaus, Marcel, and Kieran
Marcel certainly knows how to push Klaus’s buttons. Though, watching him use that knowledge to keep Klaus from hurting Kieran was pretty awesome. But, the best part of this scene is “how do you expect me to remake the mayor?” It seems that Cami’s snark and take no bullshit tendencies very much run in the family.
Elijah and Rebekah stopping the wolf hunt
Aaahhh!!!! Rebekah teasing Elijah about Hayley. Elijah’s smiles every time Hayley is mentioned – Rebekah doesn’t even need to say her name. He knows who she’s talking about, and it makes him smile. “It’s complicated” along with that damned smile! HE JUST ADMITTED TO REBEKAH THAT HE HAS FEELINGS FOR HAYLEY AND OMFG! And then we get to Elijah being such a badass that he doesn’t even need to DO anything. He just reminds the vampires about how his “baby brother” handed their asses to them despite even greater odds and they fucking RUN.
Klaus sends Cami away
Starting with him asking Kieran for help saving his and Hayley’s people – from the orders he himself gave. For all that he told Rebekah and Elijah that family is overrated, he does care about these people and needs to keep them safe. And then we get Cami’s reaction to the visions Klaus gave her. She doesn’t cower in fear of the monster that he is. She sympathizes with her first glimpse at WHY he’s the way that he is. Sending her away was quite possibly the hardest thing Klaus has ever had to do. But, for once, he put somebody else ahead of himself. He will protect her at all costs – even if that means never seeing her again.
Elijah and Hayley almost kiss. Elijah apologizes to Klaus
I wanted to scream watching this scene. I actually DID yell “kiss, kiss, kiss” at the tv the first time I saw it. You KNOW they both want to. And just the way Elijah smiles when he tells Hayley that the wolves are safe can melt your heart. Rebekah was right, while doing the right thing was certainly a point – Elijah wanted to “impress the girl”. He was so proud of being able to tell her that her family would be okay. And his heartfelt apology to Klaus, and Klaus’s equally heartfelt acceptance of that apology was just beautiful. Rebekah is going to be pissed about losing Marcel, but the brothers have mended the rift and once again become a united front.
And then there’s Davina and Cami. As much as I love Cami, and ship Klamille, and am happy that Cami is staying… I kind of hate Davina in this scene. After Klaus so heartbreakingly put Cami’s safety first and sent her away for her own protection, even though that hurt him… Davina comes in and rips it all away just so that she can have someone to help her deal with her problems. Gotta keep reminding myself that she’s 16, and thinking that the world revolves around you is normal at that age…
