After four weeks on the road, The Vampire Lestat<\/a> takes a pit stop with Episode 5, \u201cNew York,\u201d to hit the studio and lay down an album. As usual with Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), things don\u2019t go that smoothly, leading to a big status quo change for several of our TVL characters. And meanwhile, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) is developing an extraordinarily toxic relationship with waitress Regina (Delainey Hayles) who just happens to look like his departed daughter Claudia (also Hayles). But perhaps most importantly, it\u2019s time to meet The Queen of the Damned, Akasha (Sheila Atim).<\/p>\n

Boy, that\u2019s a lot, huh? Well, as showrunner Rolin Jones once told me<\/a>, the show is a seven-layer burrito, with multiple things going on at the same time. To throw out a few more, Lestat\u2019s mother Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle), who is also his sexual partner (ew) is clearly pushing him to create his music to rile up The Great Conversion, aka the point when the vampire population starts to overtake the human population. She\u2019s got a nihilism wish, and Lestat ultimately just wants his mother to love him the way he loves her. Also of note, she\u2019s pretending to be \u201cSofia,\u201d as most people think Gabriella is dead.<\/p>\n

One of those people is a vampire, Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian), who is making a documentary about Lestat and wrestling with his maker, Armand (Assad Zaman) saying he loves him. Also, sometimes everyone disappears when the two of them are together. Also, also? Armand has Lestat\u2019s sometimes band-member Alex (Seamus Patterson) under his thrall, and is clearly working some sort of angle that is seemingly anti-The Great Conversion, though we don\u2019t know how or why yet.<\/p>\n

And perhaps most importantly, Lestat was shot at by a crazed fan who believes in vampires, and seemingly proved their existence to the world. As more and more vamps raise their voices to call for The Great Conversion, what will Lestat releasing an album do the fervor? Probably nothing good, so let\u2019s recap The Vampire Lestat Episode 5, \u201cNew York.\u201d And spoilers past this point.<\/p>\n

Take One<\/p>\n

\"Sam\"Sam<\/p>\n

Oh, I should have mentioned: this whole story is being told through Lestat\u2019s perspective on a series of possibly posthumous albums titled \u201cThe Failures,\u201d and we\u2019re starting this week with Album 41, Side B. Over scenes of the band playing in the studio, Chinese food containers, cigarettes and curled up dollar bills everywhere, Lestat explains that his first coffin had the likeness of his maker \u2014 Magnus (Damien Atkins) \u2014 carved into its lid. He continues to describe sleeping alone in his coffin as he forces the band to play the same riffs over and over again.<\/p>\n

What exactly is Lestat going for, the band wonders. And what exactly is Lestat going for with this narration about how that coffin was destroyed by Louis during one of his \u201credirected moods\u201d? \u201cWe are going for\u2026 Again,\u201d Lestat explains unhelpfully. But then he brings it together by saying his fave coffin is the 7,000 square foot model he endured in the Fall of 2025. Which would be this recording studio.<\/p>\n

We also get some details here: the world thinks Lestat is dead after the shooting (unless they think he\u2019s a vampire), Pitchfork trashed the eventual album, and in return the album trashed the entire world. Thanks to copious payments and a mass shooting that happened the same night, Lestat has (mostly) been able to fake his death while producing his album with, bizarrely, Sam Barclay (Christopher Geary, former Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Vampires playwright, sometimes vampire DJ, and now record producer.<\/p>\n

Why is Lestat doing this? His goal is to produce an album worthy of his legacy, perform it live exactly once, and\u2026 Wait, is that Louis in the studio? It sure is, which is a wild little detail to throw in there, as \u201cSofia\u201d tries to squash rumors of Lestat\u2019s survival, as Christine (Jeanine Serralles) decided getting shot last episode was enough and retired to her sex dungeon wallpapered with billable hours.<\/p>\n

\u2026But also, no, it isn\u2019t Louis, not really. It\u2019s a vision, or ghost of Louis, as Lestat has been haunted from his fractured psyche all season. Lestat also explains the Sam of it all, that he had faked his own death before, actually knew how to use the board, and most importantly Gabriella hired him because Lestat hated him, and that would \u201ckeep me lively.\u201d<\/p>\n

To drive in the torture he\u2019s putting the band through, after 61 takes on their end, in his own estimation he nails \u201cBig Bad Wolf\u201d in one take. And how did Lestat end up on this musical path anyway? He\u2019ll tell us, all the way back to the beginning. \u201cThat\u2019s right, I\u2019m finally going to talk about\u2026 The Queen,\u201d says Lestat as we smash to the opening credits. And as usual, we\u2019ll note what Lestat says at the end of the credits. This time, what else could it be? \u201cAgain.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Queen Of The Damned<\/p>\n

\"Christopher\"Christopher<\/p>\n

Back in the studio, TC (Sarah Swire) is playing drums as Lestat looks on, disappointed. \u201cYour drum sounds like a drum,\u201d he says sadly. But he doesn\u2019t want a drum, he wants it to \u201csound like death approaching, like life emerging.\u201d This is over shots of digging a grave in the mud and pulling a body out (Lestat, of course). TC explains that she can do faster or harder, but doesn\u2019t play \u201cmetaphorical drums.\u201d Sofia has an idea why that is: TC is not a vampire, and her deepest pain is a \u201cman walking away mid-ceremony.\u201d<\/p>\n

TC calls Sofia \u201cYoko Mirren\u201d under her breath, which is pretty hilarious, and then Lestat speaks frankly to the band. TC\u2019s drums are his heart. Alex\u2019s guitar is his hunger. Salamander\u2019s (Ryan Kattner) bass is the \u201cnight terrors that follow me to coffin.\u201d And as for Larry\u2019s (Noah Reid) guitar, that is \u201cmy frailty,\u201d presaging what happens to Larry at the end of the episode.<\/p>\n

Lestat further explains that they are here to pull the plug on his three-century trainwreck of a life. \u201cHave some reverence,\u201d he hisses. \u201cKill me savagely.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, okay before we get to what happens next, a little word on continuity. Lestat has maintained that after his first love Nicholas (Joseph Potter) died, he buried himself in the dirt for a century, only emerging a year before he headed to New Orleans and met Louis. That scene of Lestat getting dug out of the mud? And what\u2019s about to happen next? All during that 100 year period. So yes, Lestat was lying and hiding a very, very big secret. Two, actually.<\/p>\n

The first is who dug him out. Slowly pulling himself through a crypt, caked in mud, Lestat comes to a strange chamber where a man is muttering. The man sarcastically responds to Lestat\u2019s \u201cwhere am I\u201d with a few thank yous, like \u201cthank you for saving me from starvation.\u201d That man? Marius de Romanus (Christopher Heyerdahl), Armand\u2019s maker.<\/p>\n

Back to continuity. Throughout the season, we\u2019ve been reminded multiple times by Armand that Marius is dead, and has been dead for centuries. This despite Gabriella casually bringing up Marius\u2019s name and making sure he\u2019s definitely dead, but we\u2019ll put a pin in that for a second. Clearly, he is not dead, and as we\u2019re about to discover has been on a very specific task for a very long time. Whether Armand knows Marius is alive; and whether Marius is still alive in 2025? TBD.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was wrong,\u201d Marius says when Lestat brings up that Armand said he was destroyed. \u201cRotten boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, Marius mentions he was \u201cThe Keeper,\u201d and that is now Lestat \u2014 as \u201cshe\u201d asked for him, and told Marius where to find him. \u201cShe likes music,\u201d Lestat is told, then brought to see two, totally still figures that must be kept. They are the second secret Lestat has been hiding: the King and the Queen of the Damned. The Queen is Akasha, whose name we\u2019ve heard multiple times on the show so far. The King is Enkil, who, as we\u2019ll discover shortly, seems to no longer be one of the unliving.<\/p>\n

They both look like stone, but are \u201cvery much alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Depths Of Living<\/p>\n

Back in the studio, Sofia is working out that they\u2019ll only do one gig as The Vampire Lestat, turning down an offer from Florence Welch to open for her. Lestat tells Larry to \u201cplay from the groin,\u201d and one might note that recovering alcoholic Alex is drinking straight from a bottle of booze or wine. While they play, Lestat tells Sam to turn off Larry\u2019s guitar entirely, he\u2019ll just handle it himself. And Sam protests, but Lestat tells him to be the \u201cspineless mole\u201d once more, and just do the job.<\/p>\n

That transitions into Lestat learning how to just do the job of being Keeper, to fill Akasha\u2019s burrow with \u201cworldly things,\u201d and bring back things from the world, presents and surprises so she can see how the Earth is developing. Lestat doesn\u2019t want the job, he wants to die. But Marius pushes back that he doesn\u2019t: he was in that grave 80 years, plenty of time to \u201clearn the depths despair.\u201d Now it is times for him to learn the \u201cdepths of living,\u201d and Marius has lost himself.<\/p>\n

He continues his instruction, handing Lestat a violin and suggesting he mimics Nicholas. Lestat must also keep his hunts short, Marius explains, and if he must bring a kill back burn them and use the ashes to \u201ckeep her thriving.\u201d But not blood, because that will overwhelm her.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lestat looks at Enkil, whose brains have poured out of the back of his broken skull. What happened to him? Marius asks if Lestat remembers a night the vampires burnt under the light of the moon on December 19, 1802. Marius had been transporting the couple to a new crypt, got Akasha to safety, got drunk, and forgot that Enkil was still up in the sun. They all burned, and \u201cnow you know why there are so few of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

So yeah, the blood of Enkil and Akasha is tied to every vampire on Earth. Destroy them, and you destroy them all. Keep them safe, and the vampires live. \u201cI set us back ages,\u201d Marius says. \u201cShe is the seed\u2026 If she burns, we all burn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lestat continues to protest, but Marius leaves him to it, and explains that the Queen will explain herself. But it will take time, he didn\u2019t hear her talk for 22 years. \u201cTwenty-three,\u201d whispers Akasha as Marius leaves.<\/p>\n

Might As Well Be Walking In The Sun<\/p>\n

\"Jacob\"Jacob<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re on \u201cThe Failures,\u201d Album 46, Side A, and it\u2019s over to Louis who is holding a vigil for the not quite alive of his own. He\u2019s having dinner with Fauxdia (aka Regina) talking about his business dealings, and she is doing a good job of faking it. And not only that, they\u2019ve also hired a woman to pretend to be Claudia\u2019s lover Madeleine \u00c9parvier\u00a0(Roxane Duran, though this one is credited as \u201cOff-Broadway Madeleine,\u201d played by Amy Keating), who is doing not as good of a job, aping a ridiculous French accent. Louis also doesn\u2019t seem to be totally buying the play-acting \u2014 and Fauxdia keeps slipping in and out of her own fake accent \u2014 making the whole thing extremely sad.<\/p>\n

Not-Madeleine reveals she played Satine in a tour of Moulin Rouge, and getting back into character they begin to make out, but a little too much while Louis tries to pretend this is exactly what he wanted.<\/p>\n

Then it\u2019s over to Daniel, who is also in a sort of pathetic place, interviewing people on the street about Lestat\u2019s \u201cdeath.\u201d A weirdo, as a capper, talks about how Lestat left him when he needed them most. But it\u2019s clear this guy is just obsessed with Interview with the Vampire, and quoting it back to the guy who wrote it\u2026 And that becomes clear when Armand begins quoting it, too, inside Daniel\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n

Creepazoid dismissed, Daniel confronts Armand in a park, angry that the latter claims to have been in love with him for 52 years. Daniel wants Armand to prove it\u2019s true, and he lays out how he has been following him his whole life and both guiding him and keeping him safe. And on August 5, 2025, Armand explains that he doesn\u2019t play to say the word \u201clove\u201d until he\u2019s made amends for the profound harm he\u2019s brought into Daniel\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more surprising, Armand lays out that after he would trail Daniel, he would let Louis know exactly what happened, that Daniel \u201csainted him\u201d in his book but he is \u201ccalculating to the core.\u201d Will we get an Armand season next time, from his perspective? Possibly, but back to the present, Armand wonders why Daniel is continuing the documentary despite being abandoned by Lestat. Armand wants to be Daniel\u2019s maker, he offers, to walk in the sun together, and he begins teasing something about Lestat and Sofia. That he knew her as someone else\u2026 As Gabriella. Lestat\u2019s mother. Who he \u201clays with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat,\u201d says Daniel, about to cry, but not about that last part. About Armand telling him he wants to let him \u201cwalk in the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scoops Ahoy<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lestat is digging into the thing that Daniel is ignoring, holding hands with \u201cSofia\u201d and wanting to know, once again, why she left him. But not in last week\u2019s episode, or in New Orleans\u2026 Which curiously implies that Gabriella was around during the events of Interview with the Vampire and we haven\u2019t seen that bit yet.<\/p>\n

Gabriella recalls when Lestat kept picking up sticks at the river, and he has a flash of, likely, when he saw witches burned in town, one of his core, traumatic memories. \u201cYou were a terrible mother,\u201d he tells her, and she agrees, honing in on the actual time he wants to know about: when she left him by the beach in Spain, likely the actual thing that caused him to bury himself in the ground for 80 years; not the death of Nicholas.<\/p>\n

She explains that he didn\u2019t need her anymore, but that\u2019s not true, really\u2026 He kisses her anyway, and asks whether she needs him now. She does, and he walks away, gotten what he wanted; her to want him more than he wants her. In the background, the band chants \u201cmake more,\u201d wondering what that means, and it\u2019s clear Lestat is on to what Gabriella is after (again, the Great Conversion).<\/p>\n

Back with the Queen (hey, weird that the mother of all vampires is being juxtaposed with Lestat\u2019s mama drama, probably just a coincidence), he\u2019s now cleaned up and talking to Akasha\u2019s still body. He\u2019s telling her about the burgeoning time of electricity. And he brings her a lever-action ice cream scoop\u2026 Which, I just want to mention at this point, first appears in the first episode of the season. Seriously, go back and rewatch Episode 1, \u201cDetroit<\/a>,\u201d at some point as it is chock full of shots that pop up weeks later.<\/p>\n

Lestat loves the word scoop, and leaves it next to her hand. As he plays violin inexpertly, she says, \u201cscoooop,\u201d and he wonders if this will eventually happen to him, this still existence. He also wonders who made Akasha, and why vampires exist (though he just frames it as \u201cwhy do we endure at all,\u201d which is a profound question about our own existence, not just fictional vampires). \u201cAnd why did she leave me,\u201d Lestat asks, wondering if he\u2019s evil, and if so what that means.<\/p>\n

As he asks the big questions, Akasha moves, knocking the scoop off the dais, to Lestat\u2019s shock.<\/p>\n

In the studio again as Lestat tries to sing \u201cBig Boss,\u201d the ghost (not literal) of Nicholas taunts him the way he\u2019s taunting the band. Lestat can\u2019t quite get it, so he runs out in the sun, recording himself as his skin peels off. He keeps trying, screaming as he does and when the charred Lestat screams so loud he breaks glass? It\u2019s time to move on.<\/p>\n

Turn Of The Century<\/p>\n

\"Sam\"Sam<\/p>\n

Over to \u201cThe Failures\u201d Album 49, Side B, and back to Louis in a boat with Fauxdia. She\u2019s asking about Lemuel (Moses Sumney), his current lover\u2026 And Louis tells her she doesn\u2019t have to do the accent, and they start again. While Louis talks about the relationship, and it being easy, Fauxdia writes down something in a notebook when a cop asks them to leave. Louis freezes the cop, and Regina asks Louis to do it to her. He does, and as she freezes, the almost crying Louis takes her hand. He knows its not Claudia, but desperately wants her to be. Regina knows he touched her, or suspects it.<\/p>\n

\u2026And then we\u2019re back in time again with Lestat and Akasha, who is tapping with her finger on her coffin. Lestat, who clearly is losing it, has set up a dinner with nameplates for Armand (who gets a loaf of rotten bread), Marie Antoinette (who gets cake), and an empty plate for Gabriella (who gets nothing). Plus cabbages for his father and brother, and a violin for Nicholas. Lestat screams and wails and feels the music until Akasha says, \u201cNo voices.\u201d<\/p>\n

He gets ashes for Akasha, as he taunts the dead body of Enkil. Which is when Lestat makes a little booboo: he gives Akasha a dab of blood on her lips, ostensibly to celebrate the New Year. And he lightly grips her hand, just like Louis gripped Regina\u2019s hand. Outside the people count down to the New Year while Lestat freaks out about a scratched record. He apologizes for ruining Akasha\u2019s party \u2014 it\u2019s 1900 now, the turn of the century \u2014 but the party is just getting started, as the blood has given her enough power to sit up and tell Lestat to \u201ccome.\u201d She\u2019s still frozen like a statue, but he\u2019s drawn to her, and reaches out his hand. \u201cCome to me,\u201d she commands, and drinks from him.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been wondering what it means when Lestat says he has the blood of Akasha? Well, she has his blood, too.<\/p>\n

In the studio, while Lestat sings he sees his younger, stuttering self, and talks to him with compassion. He wants to know why Gabriella took him to the witches place, much to the confusion of Sam. Meanwhile, his younger self tells him to check his phone. It\u2019s \u201cThomas Pitty He\u2019s A Whore\u201d aka Louis, who needs Lestat\u2019s help. Sam wants to keep going, but Lestat is torn between Gabriella disappearing, Louis needing him, and he takes it out on Larry, then leaves.<\/p>\n

Later, Alex tells Larry that Lestat is an asshole, and explains that he can stop drinking anytime he wants. He gives Larry a pep speech, tells him to do one take, then rest. Remember that phrasing for later.<\/p>\n

Ashes To Ashes<\/p>\n

Over with Louis and Lestat, the former lays out everything for the latter as he listens. Louis is confused, to put it nicely, unclear whether it\u2019s really Claudia or not. And he wants Lestat to go in and let him know if Regina is really Claudia. Lestat notes that he was shot in the streets and Louis didn\u2019t call him. He admits to be a selfish bastard, and Lestat sighs, and goes into the Brick & Bacon.<\/p>\n

There, he sees Regina, and is stunned. She instantly knows it\u2019s Lestat, tells her to stop performing, and orders. It\u2019s clear Lestat, too, is emotionally compromised by this Claudia clone. Lestat wants to know why she\u2019s still working the diner if Louis is paying her an obscene amount of money, and she she explains that if things get \u201ctoo freaky, I just pick up a shift or two\u2026 To get some real, real, to get back into my life.\u201d She thinks Louis is bringing Lestat into the masquerade now, and puts on the accent, asking if \u201cwe\u2019re gonna be a family, Uncle Les?\u201d Lestat wants her to stop, picturing the moments of Claudia dying on stage, and explains that despite looking like Claudia, she has a hip injury and no heart murmur; one thing Claudia didn\u2019t have, the other she did.<\/p>\n

Lestat puts on his glasses, and exits, heading back to Louis\u2019s car. \u201cIt\u2019s not her. It\u2019s not anything like her,\u201d Lestat says. It\u2019s the eyes, really, there\u2019s no spark there. Lestat tells Louis not to see her again, and \u201cthe next time someone tries to murder me, pick up the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bereft, Lestat ruins to the studio and begins to play piano, writing and singing a new song. He sings it then, a song from father\u2019s to daughters, his first about Claudia as her ghost-vision lurks in the background. It\u2019s, in a word, devastating. A ballad that Sam records as we see the charred Claudia not wanting to listen, and the ashes rain down on Lestat in the studio. Together, they play the keys. Again, no coincidence that Lestat is being consecrated with ashes, just like Akasha.<\/p>\n

The whole thing is the closest this season has gotten to a music video; and later, Lestat and Sam play the fully orchestrated version for the band.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re confused\u2026 It doesn\u2019t sound like the band, at all. \u201cHow\u2019s it fit with \u2018Long Face\u2019,\u201d asks Salamander. Lestat explains that it doesn\u2019t fit\u2026 They\u2019re going to rerecord the entire album. Larry quits and leaves, and TC is shocked, but the thing is they\u2019re not recording it for humans, it\u2019s for vampires. So what to do? The band wants to become vampires. Lestat won\u2019t do it, though. He tells a story of being on the shore of Spain, \u201cand my great love left me\u2026 Until a Queen took pity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, listen, I am not going to even attempt to break down the next part but in the most cursory way as we head to Akasha, high on Lestat\u2019s blood, and Lestat, high on hers, floating over her room, stunned. Akasha is babbling words that are clearly prophecy, past, present, future all at the same time, and likely a key to understanding this whole season and what comes next. But it hits so rapidly that you\u2019d not supposed to understand now; that comes later.<\/p>\n

In the midst of this, Marius returns, and it turns out Lestat has been floating in the air for three days. Marius tries to push her back on the slab, which he does, releasing Lestat to the floor. He shouts at him, telling him to leave, and Akasha continues to babble \u2014 perhaps about Marius keeping her trapped in this room\/in life, though it isn\u2019t entirely clear \u2014 while Lestat attempts to exit. Marius shouts, his words obscured by Akasha, an utter nightmare. \u201cI am\u2026 THE ANSWER,\u201d Akasha screams. I\u2019d assume that\u2019s \u201cto all the questions she just asked,\u201d but I guess we\u2019ll find out.<\/p>\n

Anyway, Lestat tries to dissuade the band more, telling them to leave with Larry. But Alex disagrees, cutting his palm. Salamander cuts his wrist. TC taps her neck, and says, \u201cMake more.\u201d Gabriella laughs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, on a subway platform, a fan sees Larry across the way. Odd note: the subway is Hingston Avenue, which is in Montreal, though they\u2019re clearly supposed to be in New York? Confusing. Anyway, she tells him she\u2019s so sad about what happened to Lestat. She figures out they\u2019re making an album, and continues to shout at him across the platform as the train passes by. He stops her, telling her he\u2019s not in the band anymore, and maybe there is no band, and that he\u2019s very tired. She apologizes, and another subway passenger talks to him: it\u2019s Armand.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s right, you do look tired,\u201d Armand says. \u201cYou should probably get some rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Larry, after a little mind push, agrees he needs some rest, and walks out in front of an oncoming train. Armand sits there calmly as the fan across the way screams. Armand for his part, looks zoned out. Is he in charge? Or is he too being controlled, perhaps by Marius? Or Akasha? Or both?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see you next week when the tour heads to Montreal, which is where Hingston Avenue actually is.<\/p>\n
