Elijah: Forgive me | THE Originals

In this scene, Camille O’Connell attempts to check on Elijah Mikaelson, who is visibly stressed and dealing with the psychological fallout and trauma from being held captive by his mother.

Cami initially startles Elijah while trying to be comforting, leading to a tense moment where she apologizes for accidentally eavesdropping or overstepping.

Rather than lashing out, Elijah opens up with surprising vulnerability, admitting that his sister Rebekah is missing and his family is in grave jeopardy.

He confesses that feeling utterly powerless to help them is an unfamiliar and destabilizing state for someone who has lived for a millennium as an apex predator.

Cami listens with empathy, offering a safe space for him to talk since dealing with minds plagued by trauma and demons is her specialty.
