It felt so fucking good to have Louis actually catch himself several times when he was being an asshole and apologize for it. And their argument after the revenge porn video is my favorite scene in the whole series.

This is all that Lestat has ever wanted or needed - someone actually taking the time to accept and understand him instead of just using him and throwing him away when he’s not needed.

And Claudia getting to finally say her piece and reading them both for filth. Stop infantilizing her, stop using her for your pity party, accept the damage you did and that there is no “can I cry and say sorry too?”. This is the truth of her and they can love her but cannot get her forgiveness or get peace through her. I hope she escaped that fucking salt ring and gets to roam her spirit around wrecking absolute havoc. And I hope she finds Madeline someday.

The park bench scene was so lovely - I get why they didn’t kiss but I still kind of wish they did. I can’t wait for the fanart of their little trailer park in Utah.

I think they are finally learning and growing with each other, for each other. It’s a beautiful episode.

And then to top it all off, we get the beheading - AMAZING - I went from Loustat tearful to DM cackling in seconds.

In Claudia’s version of events, Lestat was being cruel by making her watch Charlie burn. Grabbing her with his hands and forcing her to gaze as his face melted. His face is serious as he tortures her with this lesson.

In Lestat’s memories, he was holding Claudia’s hand the entire time as she watched Charlie burn in front of her. His face is melancholic and tearful as he likely recalls Nicki being burned by Armand. He was enduring the pain with her in real time.
