You know what, as much as I love all the Klamille scenes from 3x19, I do not like how they made her death all about Klaus. All of her friends had to take a step back and lose their chances of saying goodbye while she could still have interacted with them, and that was SO NOT right.
Cami was Klaus’ love interest, and as much as it annoys me to say it, a lot of her arc was wrapped up in Klaus, but she held value as a character outside of him. She supported other characters (Marcel, Davina, Vincent, Hayley) and looked out for them frequently. They were all busy running around trying to find a cure for her, which was important, but the writing did not have to be such that she didn’t get to bid adieu to these friends she loved so much.
To me, this feels like the writers having to compensate for putting so much unnecessary drama in Cami and Klaus’ relationship and never letting them just be happy together for a little while. When the time came for them to kill her off, they had to scramble to put in scenes which would appease angry fans a bit and give their relationship a satisfying conclusion.
We deserved scenes of Cami telling other characters what she wanted them to get from her, not just her saying it all to Klaus. We deserved to see her hear that she meant so much to all of them, because of how much comfort and joy she brought into their lives. Right before she died, she was self-deprecatingly telling Klaus that she wished she had done more than serve a few drinks and fail completely as his therapist, which he refuted, but she still only heard what she did for him. She deserved to hear all of the things others were saying to her dead body, while she was alive.
All in all, my girl deserved so much better. She did get a beautiful episode dedicated to her when she was unfairly killed off, but there was more that should have been done.
