I want you more than anything in the world.

That is where Louis finally finds himself with Armand, and they've done

dance, and this is the episode when they both commit to one another.

It's not a companionship, what is it? It's whatever you will call it. An

A romance?

It's been a really horribly tormented, vampiric existence, poor Louis,

up until this point.

And he's now finally maybe glimpsing some happiness.

I love you.

Lestat has never gone away. Lestat is there to pass judgment on decisions that

Louis is making. And one of them is his falling in love with Armand. The

audience all knows that there's this secret that is there.

I keep your secret.

Where's the secret?

Talks about the laws that murdering and other vampires and big no -no. Oh, I'm

the secret.

Yeah, Lestat's not there just ruining Louis and I on beautiful romantic

together because Lestat is always there.

I promise you wouldn't talk.

I love you.

I could feel the movement of air with his movement, his breath on the back of

neck. I love Louis.

I think he has largely...

Good intentions, but he's not without his own toxic trait, his own

instincts. He almost takes on the Lestat role in his relationship with Armand.

Armand is terribly insecure because he was jilted by Lestat.

What light threw you on the window break?

And he sealed himself off from ever living again until Louis came home.

Louis' relationship with Armand is a response to his relationship with

Flex your power one night and follow up with a grand grovel in the next.

Vintage Leoncourt. Armand is a rebound.

It's a rebound that lasts for 70 to 80 years.

I'm not going to start, Louis.

Okay. I think Louis knows he can get away with more.

Who are you? Like Armand is maybe a bit of a pushover.

He realizes that he can manipulate that relationship a little bit more.

Our mind can't accept himself for who he is. He needs it from other people. He

needed it from Lestat. He didn't get it from Lestat. And now he wants it from

Louis. Those two are constantly flip -flopping between who's the dominant

who's the submissive one, who needs what out of the other. It's fun. It's very,

like, mercurial relationship.

Who am I?

Louis.

Have a seat.

Ghost Lestat doesn't just represent Lestat in Louis' mind. It's also like

doubts about Armand.

He didn't do anything.

Doomed.

Always doomed.

So he's kind of letting those things go as well and accepting Armand as he is

and for who he is.

There isn't going to be a home, is there?

No. Vampires are the most human monsters.

They really desperately need this happiness and want to feel fulfilled.

And Louis finds that with Armand in this, certainly in episode four.

Armand is the kind of vampire that will not let it go himself.

And even though Louis has chosen him and effectively shed the star, he summons

me. I'm staying in Paris with you.

Armand will always see a little bit of the star in Louis.

His paranoia is all -encompassing.

which is the sad aspect of his life.

Roll camera, please.

Action,

ladies.

I love to dance and I'm not professional at it, but you'll see me in my kitchen

at three o 'clock in the morning dancing.

That's my full love. It's just a release of energy. I love doing Baby Lou's

performances. I think they were so much fun, even though Claudia hated them.

It's a beautifully choreographed performance by Suzanne and Esme, but I

fans will understand Claudia's pain and know that that's not who she is or what

she wants to embark on.

Claudia has been looking for a companion since season one, and part of her

discovering who she is and trying to become older, and she is a mature woman

a young girl's body. She's never been able to have a true lover, and she sees

this in this woman who's been completely shunned by all of Paris.

Hey, you want a ride home?

Nobody really knows why they're together. They just... see the pain in

other, and that's enough.

Maybe I seek it out.

Maybe I chase after it. Why?

There's something broken in me.

But I also think it's Claudia seeing Louis slipping faster than she had

with Armand.

You and him!

Him and you!

You!
