While not exactly a religious moment, this scene between Cam and Luce has religious undertones—as well as mention of a snake, which is a clear Bible reference. Still skeptical? Let us break it down. They're in a sort of garden, Cam has just fed Luce an apple, and now he's holding a snakeskin. Garden of Eden, anyone? On top of that, Cam's question about transformation might have more to do with his hope that Luce will rewrite her love story and join his side instead of Daniel's, which is all the more sinister when we consider that by spending time with Cam, Luce doesn't really know what she's signing up for.

At this moment, when Luce is in the cemetery with Cam, there's an atmosphere of presentation and performance. The fact that Cam takes her out in the middle of the day also speaks to his attitude and personality: he's flashy and personable, and he's comfortable being the center of attention. After all, the cemetery isn't an entirely private place for them to hang out.

Here we have Daniel's opposite, Cam, pale and shadowy. He's still beautiful in a…metallic sort of way? But he's definitely not a golden boy. We know he's not a vampire, but he certainly borrowed from the vampire aesthetic.

Cam's words have a clear double meaning, especially given the imagery of him holding a snakeskin. He could even be alluding to Luce's entanglement in all of these events, given that he knows that she transforms every seventeen years into a new version of herself. But for now, Luce can infer that he's talking about transforming into a better person, one who doesn't have guilt crushing his or her conscience.

Ah, nothing says romance like a picnic in a cemetery…Wait, we can think of a lot of things that say romance better than a picnic in a cemetery. But at least Cam's trying, right? Or is he? It's not secret that his assortment of foodstuffs—with nary a meat product in sight—shows that he's been paying attention to Luce and knows her eating habits. There's also a certain classiness to his spread that's on an entirely different scale from cafeteria meatloaf, showing that he has the wherewithal to get this stuff on the sly. The fact that they also see a snake during their picnic is also not a coincidence. Snakes are synonymous with temptation, and the apple that Cam hands over to Luce does seem mighty tempting. Whether she knows it or not, Luce might be lucky that Gabbe intervenes when she does.

This is just one of the many instances when Daniel walks away from Luce and makes her feel like dirt. That's their chemistry. On top of that, Daniel constantly ignores and belittles Luce, only to go back and do something nice and confuse her feelings again. Even though we find out why he's doing it in the end, it's still not cool.
