You may as well call me Lucien because this episode had my blood boiling. Did the writer go on vacation for this episode or something? How did no one involved in this production go "hmmm, maybe we should change that a little because we're contradicting ourselves multiple times throughout this episode" AT ANY POINT between writing and final editing?!
To start, we have one scene early on where Klaus shows up at Cami's apartment (key note: Cami has put her neighbours name on the lease so no vampires can get in without being invited) and he CANNOT GET IN. Cool, that's expected right? Everything's normal.
Fast forward to the scene where Klaus is being held captive by Aurora. It was either not mentioned or I maaay have missed it (in my confusion I rewatched parts of the episode a few times over so I honestly think it wasn't mentioned) but there is a human on the name of that lease as well. So where do the inconsistencies start? Well, in comes Hayley! Right into the apartment with no problem. It can't be because she's a hybrid because they emphasized earlier in the episode with Klaus that hybrids cannot enter without an invitation. So why was Hayley able to enter uninvited with absolutely no issue? Then right after, Aurora grabs Cami, says something along the lines of "has Klaus ever told you what happens to a vampire when they go inside somewhere they haven't been invited into?" and forces her inside. So onto the next inconsistency - again there's no problem with her physically entering, until she starts bleeding from her eyes and nose.
Now, I do get my timelines mixed up because I've binged all of TVD and this far into TO in the past month and a half... but every time a vampire tries to go inside somewhere they haven't been invited into, it's like they walk into an actual physical barrier that they CANNOT cross. It does not EVER look, or imply, that they could cross the threshold... but Cami has absolutely no trace of that barrier. And the one time in TVD they had somebody staked (I'm 99% sure it was Elijah) in the basement, switched the ownership of the house, and then unstaked him and he was PULLED out as if the house was rejecting him - he could not stop it even if he held on to something, and he did not bleed.
So in this ONE SCENE (with Aurora, Hayley, Cami and Klaus) they not only contradicted themselves in the same episode but also contradicted ALL of the lore they had already created over two shows. Not impressed. Absolutely BY FAR the worst episode out of either show.
