jacob and sam did say in after dark that they L/L were basically back together by the seanceโค๏ธ๐ฆ
Yes.
Claudia asks Lestat during the seance if he's back with Louis and Louis, mistakenly believing she's addressing him, says that he's sorry, which is him inadvertently confirming that he considers them back together. The bench scene further confirms this with Louis telling Lestat that he's thinking about the future, and he wants that future to include Lestat.
Delainey said on After Dark that the root of Claudia's beef with Louis is jealousy, because Louis has Lestat. She doesn't have that. She's jealous of Louis, because Louis has Lestat that loves him unconditionally and will go to the ends of the earth for him, and that was the big driving force behind her tirade against Lestat during the seance. It basically amounted to her saying Lestat was pathetic for loving the likes of Louis and for, essentially, being Louis' bitch. Hence why she killed Lestat over Louis.
All of this was set up in S1 when Claudia asked "Who's my Lestat? Who's my Louis?"
Claudia is now in a version of hell, separated from Madeleine, while Louis gets to go on living his life with Lestat and experiencing Lestat's love.
It was a very bitter, harsh truth for Louis, but as established in S2, Louis doesn't truly care. Lestat has always been his priority, and Claudia has always been the throw pillow.
