best line of the whole episode (after, of course, 45? My Bad) is lemuel saying “i think we can wrap this up dispassionately” and putting his glasses on it was so cunty
the parallel of lestat awake & feeling guilty after killing his family as he hears his nieces & nephews’ screams while gabriella sleeps unaffected, & lestat feeling guilty as he remembers what happened decades later while gabriella sits next to him,just as unaffected #tvlspoilers
something about gabi forcing violence out of lestat just like louis did when they were fighting… something about gabi perpetuating the misogyny that imprisoned her as a wife and mother by admonishing the men her life as being too weak to be real men…
