Final week when he confirmed his energy to Lestat was a spotlight of the episode and now we now have begun to peel again much more layers to him and it’s clear he’s hiding one thing from Louis and Daniel. I’m very intrigued about what secret he’s hiding behind these soul looking out eyes. The confrontation is bound to be entertaining.
A lot occurred on this hour, beginning with Claudia opening her present enjoying a little bit woman who desires to be a chicken and fly away. She is dressed like a child doll and sings a preferred tune that will get caught in your head. The viewers eats it up and Claudia hates it and the coven hates it for different causes. They’re jealous of her reputation in fact but additionally as a result of they hate Louis freedom and Claudia is near Louis.

Claudia becomes bored with the show and is punished by Armand who forces her to wear her costume day and night. Santiago challenges Armand in front of the coven due to his relationship with Louie. It is clear Armand is losing power of the coven as they say and do what they want without fear of him.
All this happens as Louis and Armand struggle to define their relationship with the ghost of Lestat still in Louis’ head. They play a back and forth of who is in control and who is not. When Louis joins the coven out at a restaurant, Santiago starts to mimic Louis and states his accent sounds Creole and not Chicagoan. Louis attacks Santiago showing great power I did not realize he had as Armand freezes the entire room and the vampires. It was a great scene and finally showed that Louis was starting to show some strength – along with being able to start fires throughout the episode.
Santiago plans a mutiny and steals journals from Louis’ room that most likely detail his relationship with Lestat. I enjoy his and Claudia’s scenes and Ben Daniels plays it so well that you are unable to tell if he likes Claudia or is using her to help take over the coven. One thing is for certain, I do not think it will end well if he attempts to challenge Armand as in this episode when Armand catches him spying he is put in his place.

Madeleine is such an attention-grabbing character and her and Claudia’s relationship growing provides a brand new attention-grabbing ingredient to this season as effectively. Claudia is determined for a companion of her personal and Madeleine is wanting like the right one. Particularly after Claudia and Louis combat over Armand with Claudia feeling like Louis picked one other over her once more.
The spotlight of the episode needed to be when Armand instructed Louis his historical past. How he was a slave and his time with maker Marius. Assad Zaman was lovely within the scene and in addition haunting. He undoubtedly has modified my notion of his tackle the character on this episode.
One other scene of be aware is when Louis and ghost Lestat are talking within the park and Louis seems to lastly have let go of Lestat. Sam Reid additionally performed the scene superbly with the look in his eye as if Lestat was actually there as he started to fade.

Daniel is struggling to cover his data from the Talamasca, letting it slip that he knew in regards to the theater hearth. He’s additionally having visions of the previous with Armand that he can’t fairly piece collectively. Extra of this will likely be explored within the subsequent episode.
There’s a thriller behind Louis and his pictures that causes rigidity between him and Armand. It’s clear by the look on Armand’s face that he’s hiding one thing.
There are such a lot of mysteries left to reply for the rest of the season and all of it retains the viewer on the sting of their seat. Subsequent week is ready to carry much more vampiric messiness.
