At first glance, Ellie and Claas’s affair may seem rather well-matched. There were indeed feelings between them, intense ones at that. Yet their story was doomed from the very beginning. Unlike Ellie, Claas had a family: a wife and a child, whom he did, in his own way, love. Ellie knew this from the start, she accepted it as a given. And yet, it placed a certain burden upon her shoulders. When she became pregnant she was faced with a choice: to destroy herself, or to destroy someone else’s family.
At the beginning of the series, Ellie appears as a person of ideals, and that alone speaks volumes about her principles. She’s capable of walking alone the age, but never too far beyond it. There was always a measure of self-sacrifice in her. She risked everything to save Gedeon from prison. She had earlier crossed professional boundaries in order to uncover his true motives. But her very first sacrifice was her own child.
And yet, no matter how serious Claas’s intentions may have been, there remained a fundamental difference between them: he was stable — she was not. He had both her and his family, while she had only him and her sick, later died father. They were both, in a sense, formalists. Yet, once confronted with a difficult case, Ellie quickly strayed from the path of a “good police officer”. Claas’s position did not allow him such liberties. Moreover, he felt a certain empathy towards his subordinates. Ellie, on the contrary, tended to see them as functions. Later on, this discrepancy became a source of conflict between them.
One might argue that, had it not been for the Krampus, their relationship could have developed into something more sustainable. The ambition was certainly there, but, as we all know, a mere ambition is rarely enough.
As for Rafael, that relationship was, from the outset, rather functional for Ellie. There were no feelings involved, only her motive to reach Gedeon through his superior. And it worked.
It must be sad that there was always a palpable tension between Raphael and Ellie. She never truly loved him, nevertheless, and this is important, she never ceased to feel a certain guilt for her insincerity. Circumstances eventually placed them on opposite sides of the law. And from that moment on, their paths diverged for good.
But there was one man for whom her feelings (perhaps even against her often will) were always sincere, and almost dangerously deep. Gideon-his fluffy coat excellency-Winter. A man who once saved her life at the cost of his own, only to betray her later, suffering perhaps even more from it than she did. And yet, not without a painful effort, he eventually shared his traumatic past with her. No one before her had known what life had done to him. She was the first.
I would argue that her stated motive (to seek justice for Yela) was merely a pretext. What truly drove her was not justice, but the need to understand why Gedeon have betrayed their bond. Why he had lied. She sensed there was something far deeper beneath it.
And if one looks closely enough, it becomes clearly that honesty holds an almost sacred place for Ellie. It was exactly its absence that had slowly undone her life. And when Gedeon finally revealed himself to her not as a man unjustifiably immoral, but as he truly was: someone who had endured sexual violence, and who had never known love, not even from his own mother, Ellie could no longer hold anger against him.
He became her final case: her last, and perhaps her first true, love.
Yes !! Honestly this is just my take, but I think if it wouldn't have been for the Krampus case and the insane pressure she endured, Ellie would've never actually pursued Claas. To me it felt like a complete stress response, her almost fleeing into this promise of intimacy and momentary distraction of all the horrors she had to look at every day. Which is a tendency I think she generally has - to cope with physical intimacy when it gets especially bad, but never allowing herself to get too into it emotionally. So while she dealt with the murders and overworked herself, there was at least the dopamine and adrenaline of her risky affair keeping her going. (and, no accusation to Ellie for being strategic, but one could argue dating her boss also had certain workplace benefits for her, lol) But yes as you mentioned, they're generally not really compatible, Claas is ultimately too rigid and they start to clash once Ellie's chaotic tendencies emerge (which in turn Gedeon functions well with, bc they're both all-or-nothing personalities when it comes to serious matters).
not to mention Claas literally cheated on his wife and would long-term be likely to do it again. that mf can get lost in my humble opinion
i also gotta think of that one line when Rafael told her she cannot be able to love, because she can't even stand herself; like my good man. you have no idea how deeply this woman's feelings go (just not for you😭)
and i may have written this before somewhere, but it's also so crunchy to me how Ellie clearly seems to have a type she goes for in relationships: the perfect son in law kinda man, always very responsible and tidy, preferably coming with a house and dog already included. Which fits her, for most of her life striving to do everything 'right' and as expected of her. Yet she cannot ever settle, and those relationships sooner or later all ended up with her running like a startled deer; but the one person she ever stays for, and learns to (without even noticing) genuinely love unconditionally, of course is the exact opposite of it all - depressed, scruffy, dressed in an old coat and and horribly grumpy. but he's hers, functioning exactly right along her own mind, and allowing herself to also put down that mask of perfectionism she holds herself to, because he's seen her for who she is from the very beginning. poetic cinema 🚬
