Post Mortem Interviews
Jackson’s death
Our favorite werewolf hunk lost his heart to Tristan. It wasn’t the death fans expected, and that’s one of the reasons why it was so memorable. ”I think thematically season 3 is about how people who come into the orbit of this family are just as cursed as the family,” Narducci tells EW. “Nobody’s safe. And everybody went into the episode thinking, ‘Gosh I hope Cami’s not dead,’ and not expecting that they had to worry about one of their other favorite characters not making it. So even in the midst of life, we are in the midst of death. Yes, Cami managed to find a way to survive but we lost somebody else, and it’s going to get worse before it gets better.”
Cami’s choice
Fans of this show are no stranger to the human-to-vampire transition, but Cami’s was a bit different in that she decided to stick around to save her city. ”We’ve explored transitions on Vampire Diaries and we’ve seen on our show [that when] Josh was made into a vampire, he reacted in a certain way. Hayley was made into a vampire, and she reacted in a certain way,” Narducci says. “And Cami is someone who has some dark impulses and we’ve talked about how maybe that’s what led her to be fascinated by psychology and to be fascinated by Klaus and maybe those are some of the reasons why she stayed in New Orleans to begin with. And now that that side of her is heightened by being a vampire, I think that’s something she’s going to want to explore. I think she’s in for a long transition into discovering who she’s going to be as a vampire.”

CAMI | It should come as no surprise that Cami “is in for a long transition in discovering who she is as a vampire,” per Narducci, who hints that she’ll want to explore the “dark impulses” we learned about earlier this season. “She’s going to swing in the way of exploring her impulses and embracing the newfound power that she has.” And yes, you should definitely be worried about Klaus being her guide. “Klaus isn’t genetically engineered to be a good influence,” Narducci reminds us. “There’s a chance this path will bring out the worst in both of them.”
KLAUS | Speaking of Cami’s new tutor, we can apparently expect big surprises from Klaus in the second half of Season 3: Not only is he finally making amends with Hayley, but he’s also “learning from some of his mistakes!” Moving forward, “there are also going to be some really tragic moments that will shake … Klaus to his core. The finale will be heartbreaking and tragic, as our finales tend to be.”
HAYLEY & ELIJAH | Before doing anything else, Hayley will mourn Jackson, experiencing the full “anger, pain, denial, acceptance, grievance” process. “Phoebe’s a beautiful, amazing performer,” Narducci adds. “She will show you that grief.” He also hints at a “burgeoning friendship between her and someone whose name [he] cannot say,” as well as “some really beautiful things” between Hayley and Elijah. “Him trying to comfort her, her wanting to accept that comfort, but knowing it’s wrong, given their past [and] feelings they have for one another.”
