As promised from the first glimpse of the aspiring rock star Brat Prince, The Vampire Lestat has been a wild ride. The third season of Rolin Jones' Interview with the Vampire was a chaotic odyssey led by Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), as he reconnected with his long-lost love Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), antagonized his documentarian Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), faced the wrath of his departed daughter Claudia (Delainey Hayles), taunted his ex Armand (Assad Zaman), hooked up with his fledgling/mom Sofia/Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle), and awakened Akasha, aka the Queen of the Damned (Sheila Atim). However, the finale episode — titled "The Failures," after Lestat's recorded telling of his life and times — didn't put to rest all of the many, juicy threads unearthed. So, here's what we expect to see more of in Season 2.
How did Nicki die? In interviews with Mashable, Reid teased that this season was largely about Lestat running from his past trauma rather than confronting it. In episode 3, Lestat told Daniel — via a telepathy trick — about how Armand threw Nicki into a fire, and the horrid "O" sound his lover made as he perished. But in the finale, that same moan returns as Lestat remembers seeing the alleged witches burned when he was just a boy. Reid told Mashable, "And then you see [Lestat] reprocess that memory as his own memory, watching these women die, and understanding for the first time: Yes, Gabriella has abused him, and has assaulted him throughout his whole life." This means Nicki's death — which was notably not shown in the series — didn't go down exactly as Lestat said. So, could we see what really happened in Season 4 of Interview with the Vampire (aka Season 2 of The Vampire Lestat)?What really happened between Claudia and Lestat on the train? The train scene has been the center of much contention this season. Lestat raged against the version told in Daniel's book, which suggests he threatened Claudia with rape should she run away again. However, when Claudia's spirit comes back in episode 6, she scoffs at that depiction, admitting she lied about it to manipulate Louis.
