Call me RFK Jr. because I cannot for the life of me get thisbrain-eating wormout of myskull.
IWTVwriters, youre sick for this.
We even added back a Wednesday French performance, Armand tells Daniel.
But Claudia is bored.
I have lost my passion for work onstage.
I think Id prefer backstage work, she tells Armand in front of the whole company after the show.
Santiago asks the lovers plainly: Are you companions?
Armand immediately says yes, while Louis reflexively says no.
Very juicy, very awkward.
Back at Louiss flat, the two are quibbling about labels post-coitus.
Daniel interrupts at this moment, asking, Are you schizophrenic, Louis?
When Daniel asks about a fire that burned down the Theatre des Vampires, Armand is completely thrown.
This scares Daniel off from that line of questioning.
Back in the past, Armand has sentenced Claudia to the Jared Leto MethodTM of staying in costume 24/7.
She keeps her Burn Book hidden because recording vampire history is No.
Dont be so melodramatic, says Santiago, Pariss most melodramatic creature.
We also learn he has some sort of mega-speed-reading vampire powers?
Between present-day and flashbacks, Armand is power-trippin.
Theyre always coming up with new, weird specificities about vamp-life.
He sets a bunch of his photos aflame, using the fire-trick hes been practicing under Armand.
Is it a control thing?
Assuming he knows whats best for Louis?
Either way, red flag city.
Theres a huge exposition dump here, and its done pretty artfully, thanks to Assad Zamans performance.
Still, Armand talks about him like he loved him deeply.
Marius only gave him the dark gift when he fell ill at 27.
Armand loses his shit on her and threatens her.
You and fucking him!
You picked another one over me!
Its a goofy effect but itsIWTV;Imnot looking for realism.
Armand takes his place on the bench and expresses his panic over mutiny brewing in the coven.
Oh, its on.
I dont want to read ahead in the books because I dont want it spoiled.
But things are getting weird, yall.
Notes on Vamp
This tweet.
I love this episodes focus on art.
Some great theater business up top.
When Santiago gets his three-minute warning, he says, Fuck you, three!
These horny vamps are incorrigible.
Sam the Irish vamp remains a scene-stealer.
He reads books during Blood Sabbath!
Love how Santiago admits to human relations with half the whores of Paris.
I love the line Tender turns to tinder.
The wet room remains a space for comedy.
Read my mind, grab my melons.
Louis says, I suppose I can come across haughty.
The understatement of the century.
Ben Danielss Louis impression sounds like Frank Underwood.
Lestat eating a photo is sooooo funny.
Know your role, thesp, or join your maker in oblivion!
RIP, daddy vamp.
Santiago looks at Louiss art-photos and just goes, Wanker.
