the caption really sums up the whole episode 😭

well armand is daniels maker so as he said in episode 4, when daniel asked him to stop doing that, he cant get into his head anymore so he genuinely can’t alter anything more in his mind to make the people around them disappear - armand is my favourite character because of his nuance and complex nature where you never know whats going to happen with him and as easy as it would be to write off everything armand says as a lie, it makes for incredibly boring storytelling if you just reduce all of his actions and words to that and if you throw all of the ‘evil’ on to him and almost ‘absolve’ other characters in a way

well. siri play yeah yeah yeahs heads will roll…? i’m definitely noticing how the one episode lestat spent in louis’ company was way more linear, and also how much longer every moment was stretched. this is just one night hour by hour, but he doesn’t skip over any moment he spends with louis. daniel for this entire dinner conversation: so what’s everyone bringing to the last supper. i mean normal supper. and “he’s going to do what after? rest?” lol. daniel knew exactly what he was saying there. i loooove brutal love. it strangely echoes louis’ “why are you being nice? i don’t like it.” i think they’re both being truthful about this sentiment actually. also that’s the most beautiful jacob has ever looked i would serenade him as well. DM have a couple’s youtube channel…….. and they use it for violence…….. are they playing a version of Vicious during lestat's breakdown...? they're really weaponising that S1 soundtrack in this episode. don’t like that we can see on both their faces the exact moment it hits each of them that lestat’s been abused for a long, long time. “what about the thing you should be thanking me for?” ooh louis really is his mama’s son huh… the du lac parenting jumped out lol. the matching looks of disgust on lestat and claudia’s faces though, let’s be scandalised with mama! the fact that claudia can't find madeleine looks to be the part that gets to lestat the most. makes sense what with, you know, the loneliness. the absolute silence at the end lmfao. same. loustat didn't see it coming because of the fog of love!! catastrophic irony! i mean you gotta hand it to DM: it’s an efficient, to the point solution. can’t do that concert with no head! and alex smoking a cigarette before committing an act of betrayal like armand smoked before committing an act of betrayal. really funny parallels there.

Haha, was so looking forward to your reaction to this one. Loved it.

Armand can't get in Daniel's head any longer, since he is Daniel's maker. Their bond really is just that freaky. There are a few theories about why, but the key take away is just that they are Like That about each other. Interesting to see that Daniel specifically asks Louis about the "fog of love," and we see Louis and Lestat in it all episode. Even after the Claudia seance, when most parents would be curled in a ball in the floor sobbing, they go "well that sucked" and get right back to their Loustat love bubble. So is it any surprise that DM are able to sneak right up on them? That fog of love literally lead to their downfall. (However temporary that we know it'll be, since Louis is alive and seemingly tolerant of being in Armand's presence at the auction, and Lestat still has to record The Failures narration. They'll be fine.) I see people wondering why Daniel was willing to do that. "But he and Louis are friendly!" Are they, though? In this very episode, we see Louis disrespect Daniel repeatedly during the dinner. Even when he toasts to Daniel, he uses it to get a dig in at Daniel for having been abandoned by his maker. It's not surprising that Daniel would be angry. (Note: this is not me excusing it or saying it was okay. I'm just talking about people not understanding his motivation. However wrong it was, it DOES make sense for Daniel's character.) I really loved the easy chemistry of Loustat this episode, though. They really do feel like two people deeply in love who are trying very hard to come back together in a more mature way, to try to prevent what happened before. They both still need therapy, but honestly that alone shows how much they've grown! Also, Delainey Hayles deserves every award. She acted her face off this episode.

Brutal Love really is such a beautiful song! Definitely one of my favs from this season. And maybe I'm crazy but the lyric "I can feel it, the pull on my thread from a distant restless hand" immediately made me think of the Red String Of Fate concept, which would be an amazing and wild reference if that's intentional. Also I think you're in the BloodyMary fandom as well so I thought I'd mention, with all the cosmic imaginary in the lyrics I think Brutal Love is a very fitting song for Grace/Simon too!

There were no flashbacks or chaotic cuts. When Lestat is with Louis he’s completely in the moment. Things are linear.

Take care of *yourself* after this one, Brittany 🥲 It was as much of a rollercoaster for you as it was for me, oof. Pretty sure I ended up just staring at the screen for a bit too. Like I forgot that we know they're still alive at the end and was just like??? Huh???? 😭 But at the same time I feel like I get it. Armand wanted to stop Lestat from hyping all the vampires up and creating a frenzy about making more, and getting them all killed, and this really is the way to do that? Or at least slow him down. Still kind of crazy that it happened, though. At least Louis and Lestat had some good moments beforehand 😭💗

Vee

that we know of, at least! i'm trying to keep in mind that this is still from lestat's POV even when they're trying to make me forget

Side Thought: Do you think that Armand wants to stop the gathering of 50 000 vampires cause he's probably secretly screwed over like half of them and he's afraid they'll compare notes?

Amidst all the insanity of this episode I have to call out this tiny detail I noticed only while watching your reaction: having Claudia call Louis a "sad boy" in THAT scene is the absolutely most unhinged way for the show to drop a Raleigh Ritchie reference. It simply has to be on purpose because the people behind this show are that level of crazy and darkly hilarious. Wild.
