Whereas Louis is explaining what he’s going by way of, Daniel is organising Armand and stating some inconsistencies within the story. We see smug Santiago now as coven chief and Armand lets Louis out who has gone insane. Had Armand let Louis out as a result of he cared or as a result of he couldn’t stand to be outsmarted by Santiago is a query I’m not positive of the reply. Louis’ rage had risen and adopted carefully behind by his insanity.
We see Louis within the crypt accumulating our bodies and planning his revenge for the dying of Madeleine his fledgling however in fact extra so for Claudia who he liked wholeheartedly. Jacob was good in these scenes. Followers of the books or those that noticed the movie, knew what was coming subsequent. Louis burns down the theater and has a remaining showdown with Santiago.

Louis was definitely on the hunt, he taunted Santiago with his past and his failings as a man. Santiago got his licks in too. However, Louis knew how to play on Santiago’s insecurities and it worked as Santiago emerged from the sewers after fleeing the theater fire and Louis takes his head off in one swing of his machete. The musical score playing during his revenge scene accompanied the madness quite brilliantly.
Louis has Armand take him to Lestat who is still in Paris, staying in Magnus lair. Lestat is surprised to see them together but they have such an intriguing interaction. Louis says he came to kill him and lights fire in his hand. Lestat points out that he has the blood of Magnus in him and Armand also lights his hand pointing out Mangus burns. Lestat lets Armand know that he has the blood of the Akasha in him and cannot be killed. Louis does not know that name, Armand and the audience do. Book readers and movie watchers must be jumping for joy at the mention of her name as I know I was. Louis tells Lestat his punishment is knowing that Louis will spend the rest of his life with Armand. How weak must Armand be to be in a relationship with someone that is only with him out of spite?
Back in the present we see Rashid bring Daniel his request from the Talamasca, the script from the Trial play. Daniel starts plainly calling out the inconsistencies in Louis’ retelling. He asks Louis how many soldiers were in his home that he forced Lestat to make leave. Louis says 30 and Daniel says couldn’t it have been Lestat that saved him that night. He hands Louis the script with Armand’s notes on them. Louis starts to remember, Lestat made the audience say banishment not Armand. Armand has been lying the whole time. We see a flashback of him directing the play and him being unguarded (sometimes) watching. Louis was supposed to die that night and Armand was fine with it. One moment that stuck out was Lestat letting Armand know he had no idea of Claudia’s strength which was a very true statement.

The Talamasca sends Daniel a message to get out now (Rashid already escaped) and Louis and Armand have a struggle off digital camera the place Louis wounds Armand who tried in useless to elucidate his actions. Louis tells Armand he’s leaving and when he comes again Armand is to be gone and he’s to not hurt Daniel or Louis will kill him. Louis then returns to New Orleans,he hears a narrative concerning the get together he and Claudia threw earlier than noticing a vampire searching rats. He follows him to Lestat and so they have a stupendous dialog the place they forgive one another for all the things they’ve carried out. Lestat can not get Claudia out of his thoughts and reveals real love for her in any case. A masterclass in performing from Jacob and Sam.
We leap forward to see that Daniel has revealed his e book and is now a vampire having been turned by Armand. He calls out to Louis who apologizes that he was turned out of spite. Daniel warns him to depart Dubai as we hear the opposite vampires are coming for him after studying the e book and realizing Louis broke the Nice Legal guidelines. Louis quiets them and presents them an invite to attempt to kill as a result of “he owns the night”.

I’m saddened that this season is over. I imagine Interview With the Vampire is without doubt one of the finest reveals on tv proper now and gave us an ideal season. From the casting, performing, path, enhancing, cinematography, all the things has been wonderful. It has the guts and soul of the e book and even the movie however presents a contemporary perspective. The present has been renewed for a 3rd season with the main focus being on rockstar Lestat. The easter eggs dropped on this episode provides hope to the looks of Akasha. Louis’ destiny is up within the air nonetheless. He’s meant to return however will he perish in his struggle with the vampires; it’s unsure because the present doesn’t comply with the books precisely.
I give this season a ten/10 with no notes.
What did you consider the episode? Go away a remark and keep in mind to attach with me on X @jereereviews to debate extra.
