What do you think — will Akasha drag Lestat away in episode 1 of season 4, or maybe around the middle of the season? I just remember that in the books, Akasha’s awakening was accompanied by disturbing dreams about the twins for many vampires. Also, even before Lestat’s concert, many vampire covens were destroyed by Akasha’s fire. In the show, the hints about her imminent awakening were very scarce and seemed to end in episode 3, after the tower in Toronto was destroyed. And I’m not even sure that was a manifestation of her power — it might have been the result of Lestat’s intense emotions. By the way, that was the first hint to us that Akasha wouldn’t just kill, but also wreak destruction. And if we imagine that Lestat’s emotions were the cause of the tower’s destruction, it’s quite possible that, after drinking even more of Akasha’s blood, he was the one who destroyed Montreal.
According to Rolin, that was a sign of Lestat's unstable mind (sorry).
As per when Akasha will drag Lestat away... my guess is by episode 2 latest.
There will be a LOT in the next season. But they already established a few corner points for the audience to care about, like Baby Jenks.
But yes, the dreams, the twins, the burning coven houses... those things have to happen at some point.
I mean, theoretically, they could skip the twins, and the dreams (like the movie did), but I sincerely hope they do not.
I always felt it was such nice foreshadowing that Grace had twins who were sensitive to Louis' state of being, for example. A little nod at what's to come.
And of course Lestat will need to be convinced (somehow) to do the concert after all.
So by episode 2, latest, is my guess. Possibly even at the end of episode 1.
