“Give Caroline the life she was meant to have… an immortal life, without you.”

All right, so let me process this whole phrase. The words which catch my eye are “Meant” and “without you”, because bruh, yes, we all know that Caroline Forbes was destined for much more bigger things than Stefan Salvatore, and things that Stefan Salvatore himself could offer her.

 When I heard Cade saying that to Stefan, I instinctively had a throwback Thursday to January 2012, when I watched the scene where Klaus visits dying Caroline and offers her the world out there that is waiting for her.

 “And I could let you die, if that's what you want. If you really believe your existence has no meaning. I thought about it myself, once or twice over the centuries, truth will be told. But I'll let you in on a little secret. There is a whole world out there, waiting for you. Great cities and art and music, genuine beauty. And you can have all of it. You can have a thousand more birthdays. All you have to do is ask.”

 Ok, now back to Cade’s words : “Give Caroline the life she was meant to have… an immortal life, without you.” – so this basically means that Klaus Mikaelson, knew that Caroline Elizabeth Forbes wasn’t supposed to die, because she was meant to have that immortal life.

He also knew it when he told her that he hoped that she’d turn up at his door in a year, or maybe even in a century.

He also knew it when he left that message for her, “maybe one day you’ll let me.”

He also knew it when he promised her the eternal love back on her graduation day. His words were absolutely intentional and he had analyzed his words in a way that no one had.

He also knew it when he promised to leave and never come back because he also knew, that an immortal life that she was destined with, with the plans that fate had for her, she would be his - at last.

Klaus Mikaelson predicted her having an immortal life, and he knew that she was not supposed to die neither in his hands, nor in someone else’s.

 Klaus Mikaelson knew that Caroline was meant to have a thousand more birthdays.

Klaus Mikaelson knew that Caroline was meant to see great cities, and art and music and genuine beauty.

Klaus Mikaelson knew that Caroline was meant to eventually fall for the person who is only capable of doing terrible things, meaning himself.

For me these two scenes ( Cade’s phrase and Klaroline’s interaction in 3x11) parallel each-other on so many levels, that it’s hard to believe that Klaus and Caroline are that golden.

Caroline Forbes was destined to have this immortal life not with Matt, Tyler, Stefan  but Klaus.

With Klaus Mikaelson.

Well apart from all other KC quotes, I'd say that this one is one of the strongest Klaroline quotes ever. I mean, there are many but it's legit in my top 5 list. The episode all in all contained many scenes of Klaroline and it felt really hard to watch it, (especially for me.) because I had to follow every word they said to each other and make an observation about what could it possibly mean. Their scenes are beautiful and touching, and I try to catch those little hints everytime I watch this or that scene.  When Caroline was sitting on the porch and Klaus approached her while saying : "Don't worry love, you know I'd never hurt you." my heart pumped because it was so beautiful to see Klaus being vulnerable and giving up his revenge for Tyler only for her. Apart from the scene where he saved her, he declared that all he had done while he was in MF and threatening everyone to end their lives for good, was clearly only for her. When fans talk about that quote they think it encompasses only that one certain episode, but no. It includes saving her life, proposing her to show Rome,Paris or Tokyo, giving her his drawings and thanking her for her honesty. I mean, where or when we've seen him thanking someone during the series except the #3x14 scene? It was always him who should've been thanked because he was an alpha and HE WAS FEARED BY EVERYONE, IF HE SAVES YOUR LIFE, IT'S YOU WHO SHOULD BE THANKFUL, cause you know he'd slaughter that person for whatever lame reason it was.No one got to piss him off and leave peacefully. Once he was determined to kill you, you’d be dead by the dawn. And kaboom, it happens !  She is silently standing there and listens as he says that all the things he had done,was for her, she can't answer and fight back or argue that it’s about him and that he’s being a selfish one again. Deep down she agrees with him and it satisfies her. She practically knows that she has control over him and she should be thankful to him because she owes him so much more than she thinks. Theoretically the MF gang could be dead, but Caroline's the reason they were all alive and okay. Because it was all for her and not for Elena or someone else (because LBR, it's always for/about Elena.). That's when she understands that she's the first choice for someone for the first time in her life. ( She was a sex slave for Damon, Stefan was practically forced by everyone to date her, Matt was an ass with her and Tyler chose revenge over her.) Finally  the actions someone's doing, especially Klaus, are dedicated for only her pleasure and her safety.  On the other hand, while this phrase can contain bad history of MF gang VS Klaus, he is determined to surprise her with his declaration that it was all for her. He was astonished when he heard her confession while she was lying on the couch and saying that she knows that he's in love with her, and he wants to surprise her as much as she did, so he decides to go with "it was all for you" to make her feel guilty and worthy at the same time. Guilty because not all of them deserve his mercy but they still get it and it's hard for Caroline because eventually she will have to give it back and pay for that mercy, and worthy because for the first time in her life she was told that whatever happened around her was because of her and she should be the one to take credit. The most exciting and love worthy part about this quote is that she knows, that it's not a lie, he would never hurt her, and she also knows that what happened prior to the porch scene was her fault but it doesn't stop her from thinking that it's all true and a person who has lived at least 10 different lives, is so much fallen for a girl who hasn't lived one life at all.
