Michael Narducci Interview
TVLINE | Let’s start with Cami. Can you give me any hope heading into the next episode?
Well, you saw what I saw. She’s in absolutely life-threatening peril. She has now been bitten by a bite we know is lethal enough to kill even Finn. I can promise you that in the next episode, you’ll see Cami alive and awake. You’ll see how she reacts to that bite; the first thing she has to do is survive being in the immediate clutches of Lucien. Cami will see Klaus again, and whens he gets to him, he’s going to recruit his entire family to find a way to slow — if not stop or cure — the bite she’s now dying from. That’s really the heart of next week’s episode, these two people who are in desperate straits. It’s going to be a powerful story about the connection between them.
TVLINE | And how will Lucien’s discovery about Aurora’s feelings change his game plan?
He went from being a romantic who wanted to defeat the bully and impress the girl to a guy who just hates the bully and has no hope of getting the girl. In some ways, he’s more dangerous, because he has nothing to lose. Sensing that Klaus is responsible for stealing Aurora from him 1,000 years ago led to his decision to do what he does at the end of the episode with Cami.

The Ancestors are also trying to take out the Mikaelsons at the same time. Are we building up to a witch and vampire war in the season finale?
Narducci:. It's not a witch and vampire war, it's a war against the Mikaelsons that is taking place on two different fronts. On one front, there's Klaus versus Lucien and he's going to need some help to survive. On another front, there's Davina realizing that the ancestors are hellbent on using Kol to destroy her and anybody else that would side with the Mikaelsons. Kol, Davina, Vincent and some other characters are going to have to figure out what they can do to stand up against this unstoppable force. How do you stop a collection of dead spirits that are all powerful because their power is rooted in the power of New Orleans? They can be anywhere and do anything. They have an incredible amount of power and our protagonists are the underdog in this scenario.
Kol is still stuck in New Orleans at the end of the episode. Will he come back to Davina to figure it out or will he still try to keep his distance even if he can't leave the city?
Narducci: Kol knows he's in a difficult place. He has these urges and he could be a threat to Davina, so he is not going to go back to her. He's going to try desperately to find a way to keep himself from giving in to all of this blood lust. Whether or not Davina finds him because she's worried that this guy who she deeply cares for, is another question.
