Yeah, so clearly I was wrong about that.
There will be no glamorizing of abuse as mere excesses of passion on Molloys watch.
Nor on Claudias, for that matter.
Claudia spends the next six years helping Daddy Lou rebuff Lestats apologies.
And you were never cruel, Louis.
Claudia keys her new car with her fingernails.
Louis reflects on the modesty of the gesture.
Inevitably, there comes a day where Louis gives.
Even Lou acknowledges this is like a seven-layer dip of fucked-up trickery, but it does work.
and just like that its back on like Donkey Kong.
There will be ground rules, and one of these is for Lestat to kill Antoinette.
Not Claudia, thats for sure.
Primarily, she enjoys challenging Lestats supposed commitment to honesty with sensitive, personal, and bad faith questioning.
Who was your maker?
Why did your first love kill himself?
Did you love him more than you love Louis?
And he doesnotappreciate Claudias telepathic mockery likening him to an Uncle Tom sucking up to master.

She shouldnt have to endure Lestat any longer and plus, she doesnt need him anymore, he says.
This may be a decision hell come to regret.
Back at the chessboard, Claudia is simultaneously sending Louis an idea over brainwave.
Claudia thinks Magnus didnt die by suicide as Lestat claimed.
Claudia also thinks that she and Louis are now slaves to Lestat, who is their maker.
She thinks they should kill Lestat.
Whats more, she knows Louis secretly wants to kill him, too.
And thats when she checkmates.

Suddenly Rashid, Louiss human assistant in 2022, appears and Molloy wakes up.
It looks like hes just been inceptioned by Louis.
The sudden cut to black certainly wants us to think so.
