The whole metaverse can no longer be properly viewed without an account and I am definitely not making one just to see your contact info or opening hours.

so there's this lover girl 🤭

The witches place is one more instance in the season when we are told something but we have to look around in the scene for clues to understand what is really happening (similar to Magnus music video). Lestat has all the information (no memory problems with this vampire) but he's presenting us with a version that is more palatable for him. Lestat wants it to have been about tough love. It is not. The setting of the scene is this: four girls at the stake. The first two are SA victims who spoke out. The third one is a friend of Lestat, who used to come and play at their house. The fourth? A twin, a doppelgänger, if you will. Big doppelgänger imagery all season which I have yet to unpack.

The message Gabriella sends could not be clearer: I will isolate you (no more friends) and if you speak about what is happening between us, you will end up like these girls. It even bleeds through in Lestat's recollection of Armand's butcher shop fun adventure: bad things happen to girlies who talk. Gabriella is an abuser, she has been presented with no redeeming qualities the entire season because what she did to her son is horrific, unforgivable, irredeemable.
