Deep breaths! Chances are if you're reading this, you just finished watching The Vampire Lestat episode 6, "Montreal." Which means you've just seen on-again-off-again vampire lovers Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) and Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) share a cozy moment on a park bench — before being unceremoniously decapitated. It's a wild episode. Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) outs Sofia's true identity as Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle), mother and fledgling and lover of her son Lestat, through a sex tape. The witch Merrick (Sarah Afful) conducts a seance that reunites Louis and Lestat with Claudia (Delainey Hayles), and that does not go great! Then — despite all of this — Lestat and Louis take a break from screaming matches, sit down, and seem on the verge of a new chapter, when Daniel and Armand (Assad Zaman) and the vampire Alex (Seamus Patterson) descend to cut off their heads.
Even if you read the books, you might not have seen this one coming. But does this mean the end for Louis and Lestat? No. Can't be. Let's dig into the reasons why.There's still one more episode of The Vampire Lestat.
Sure, Interview With the Vampire series creator Rolin Jones has been taking some dramatic liberties with Anne Rice's core novels. He's changed settings, race-bent characters, and plucked bits from later books to put in the first two seasons. But he's not likely to kill off its most popular characters as a cliffhanger for the penultimate episode of The Vampire Lestat.
