Louis and Lestat’s relationship comes to a bloody end.
The latestInterview With the Vampireis a bloody one.
But her coffin is empty; she’s hunting as prodigiously as ever.

Ah yes, theJessica Hamby Paradox.
A finger here, a foot.
(Hilariously, nobody has a convincing explanation for the incinerator in the yard.)

Claudia races to get rid of the rotting body parts hidden all over her room.
But here’s a pickle: what to do with the almost-dead, fly-ridden man in her wardrobe?
Also, how did neither of the adult vampires in the house smell all the decomp, because GROSS.

It’s a jarring, desperate request, and the toxicity continues to escalate.
Then she drops the tidbit that Lestat’s still seeing the singer Antoinette (Maura Grace Athari).
“He’s gotten tired of us, Daddy Lou,” she declares.
“The housewife and the mistake.”
Lestat quietly promises Louis that he’ll kill Antoinette soon enough.
They have nothing to do but snipe at each other.
Louis' reading is pretentious.
Lestat only makes it through the first 10 pages of any book.
And a tourist carriage rolls past, telling stories of the weird brothers camping inside.
But Claudia’s busy trolling college campuses for prey.
And one night, she’s approached by a smiling young man on a motorcycle (Damon Daunno).
One of her kind.
When Daniel keeps pushing, his hand starts to shake.
Louis returns to his story.
But Louis can only think about Claudia, so Lestat exits to meet Antoinette.
Louis eventually leaves the house too, when Grace (Kalyne Coleman) summons him.
Then, finally, she comes home.
When Louis tearfully embraces her, Lestat interrupts the moment with a record scratch.
For real, this drama llama literally scratches a needle across a record to get their attention.
Then comes a sequence that’s incredibly hard to watch.
It’s chilling, and it only gets worse.
We’ve always recognized Lestat’s amorality, knew he relished tormenting his victims.
But to turn all his grief and fury on Louis like this is painful, unforgivable.
The fight tears apart their already crumbling home before continuing upstairs.
Louis begs Claudia to stay back, promising that they’re done fighting.
Lestat sinks his fangs into Louis’s neck and launches them both into the sky.
“It would help me a great deal to hear that from your lips.
Your quivering, hateful lips.”
Instead, Louis gasps for Lestat to let him go.
As his vampire daughter/sister sobs over him, Lestat watches impassively, and we cut to upbeat credit music.
It’s impossible to predict, and I can’t wait to find out.
