You just sitting there in shock for 5 minutes afterwards is so real💀

[@Jackie-Owe]

Poor 514 year old vampire Armand could not prevent it. 😢

[@mekareactsandreviews3026]

😅😂 u must haven't watch the entire season

[@eeggie]

​@@mekareactsandreviews3026they're being sarcastic 😂

[@AlexaOleksa]

Fr, poor Armand who can manipulate memory, make someone do smth, etc etc...poor powerless armand couldn't prevent it🙄

[@tonyl7443]

Well, the vampire Sam was guarding him....I think my eyes just rolled out of my head lol

[@nebulous8389]

Yes he's a very sensitive but sweet little gremlin

[@KelliFranklin]

Poor Claudia. She was doomed the moment she was turned. Wait till the next episode.

[@Nichole-1989]

Claudia singing "I Don't Like Windows When They're Closed" at the end always makes cry. Her delivery of the lines "We poisoned him. He's not dead! Can I cry and say that 'I'm sorry' too?!" was amazing. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this actress as much as the last, but she did absolutely phenomenal.

[@eeggie]

@@Nichole-1989 claudia singing for the audience never sat right with me I dont think this is a true memory I dont trust armand with this one tbh because why would she do that?

[@yosrafaiz9857]

​@@eeggie no waay did she sing the song she was sick and tired of as the last thing she did...louis couldn't corroborate that so its out for me

[@eeggie]

@@yosrafaiz9857 EXACTLYYY!! and she said she'll come back and kill all of them she did not owe them a last performance F them! this is all armand!! like get out of here with the "sang for her *executors*" bs! he really couldn't help himself but to defile her last moments of strength and resilience. BUT we are left with lestat who was actually there with her and more trustworthy with retelling a story so lets hope he can tell us what actually happened next season

[@shara-v6074]

​@@eeggie i interpreted it as her reminding the audience that they used to really like her in order to make them feel guilty, and you can definitely see it made them uncomfortable. but yeah i'm not discounting the idea that armand made that up either, i see both as possible.

[@jayp9881]

​@@eeggie you know I never thought about how the unreliable narrator can extend past Louis to Armand but instead of misrembering like Louis Armand just lies. He already said he altered Claudia's diaries to protect himself so why wouldn't he lie about something like this. All the sudden he couldn't hear what the 2 of them were talking about cause he was so focused elsewhere to. You just made me put my tinfoil hat on cause something ain't right. She hated that song and that act and to me now her singing it isn't some poetic justice but some twisted fan service for the audience she couldn't care less about. I totally believe Armand would make something like this up. I just wonder what he is looking to cover up.

[@rainbowriggs5245]

The unreliable narration is one of my favourite parts of this show and the books, one of the reason im excited for s3 is because it will be from lestats pov, which will put EVERYTHING including the trial and why he was there in a new light. Im so HYPED for your next reaction keep it up!

[@dem0litionsss]

lestat’s face as his daughter looks to him as she dies is Haunting. i sobbed my way through this entire episode when it aired

[@m4tth3w967]

I don't know shit about makeup, but Bridget your eye makeup looks beautiful!

[@ROLANDSONOFSTEPHEN690]

Stunning!

[@lSynonymousl]

I was thinking the same!

[@symonew33]

Louis saying he doesn’t wanna eat people and the people in the audience laughing like they aren’t the menu items. I really want Claudia’s ghost to come back and fulfill her promise

[@maevem316]

That part always gets to me because like, Claudia doesn't particularly like Louis' diet, and she definitely doesn't care about any of those humans, but she's so pissed on his behalf that they're mocking him for caring about *them*. It's just devastating

[@noa_is_unavailable]

the acting in this show really goes off. it's hard to pick a favourite between louis' confession in season one, every time claudia reads louis for filth, the argument in episode five of this season or lestat's complicated monologue of letting louis fall. can't wait to see your reaction to the finale

[@nebulous8389]

Please upload the finale tomorrow if ya can!...this was a brutal episode and Lestats face when claudia dies is haunting.

[@LadyYunalesca]

I waited 94 years for y’all to hit this episode I was crying for the millionth time over this.

[@Steef_Lee]

It’s rare these days that a show gets better and better every episode, but here we are, better than we deserve. Goddamn I love this show. Honestly, highest quality show I’ve seen in years.

[@-Arkin33]

The most tragic part about our beloved three: Louis (because this story started with Louis, and will end with him), just wanted a family, a home and peace. But he has a very human idea of all three, and Vampires consume humans. Lestat just wants love, with/from a companion that will not abandon him. But he doesn't know how to properly handle and maintain love, and ends up crushing it or smothering it. And Claudia, Claudia just wanted someone to love her. That was it, she just wanted someone to choose her, for her. But Claudia was dead from the beginning and the dead don't get "happy endings".

[@abstractshine]

to me, one of the cruelest moments of the trial is when they're recounting that time claudia asked louis to leave lestat and go with her to europe because you can tell that, in that moment he says 'europe' and looks at her, all of the things that lestat ever said to her about the matter flash before her eyes. 'the vampires out there are vicious, they're monsters, if you could find any they'd rip you to shreds, because you are built like a bird, because you are a mistake' all of it which she thought it was just lestat lying to keep her caged was actually lestat telling the truth to keep her caged and that's impossibly worse

[@chelisey13]

It is definitely an awfully cruel moment, because the way he quotes her "come with me to europe" opening his arms like signalling the whole theater is like he's saying "i told you so" and it's like they're back in NO, in their townhouse and he's telling Claudia she's a mistake and she's a little girl again. Now they're all here, in Paris, the place he warned them about. I don't wanna say more because it might be spoilery, but a part of me also feels like there's a little defeat and anger in his tone like "you should've listened to me, i wasn't the worst vampire" and he's right.

[@abstractshine]

@@chelisey13 RIGHT like armand was probably not even the most dangerous vampire lestat was worried about (SPOILERS: possibly marius or even akasha [?]) but even just meeting armand was enough to take another loved one from lestat, just like it happened with nicki

[@chelisey13]

@@abstractshine exactly!! and I do feel like "killing" Lestat was the only way for Louis&Claudia to escape their controlling environment and how caged they felt, esp. Claudia... but I can't help but think a part of that control and manipulation came from a place (however misguided) of love Lestat felt for them, because of what happened to Nicki in Paris. He didn't want history to repeat and yet it did. This is always gonna be the biggest tragedy for those 3, if only they had learned to communicate and coexist healthily, maybe they'd still be together and a family.

[@androd1279]

I got teary-eyed watching you both stunned into silence. When I finished the episode, I sat there for a second processing what in the hell it was I just saw. You two are a blast to watch, by the way.

[@kacektv9405]

The fact someone finally picked Claudia first and it was choosing to die with her is honestly so heart wrenching

[@JayOwinFull]

This is my favorite episode of the series. As a fan of the books this is very different and exciting. They used parts of the 2nd book to give Lestats back story and perspective. Claudia going out singing.. that is new. That hurt. So thrilled with where this show is heading.

[@carolinemk8]

Someone said "Louis did not see Claudia's beginning or end." That hits. He knelt away from Lestat while she was made vampire, and was dragged away into a coffin when she died.

[@meri5173]

Sam Reid said in an interview that he, Ben Daniels who played Santiago and Emma Freeman who directed the episode were rehearsing the play separately so that it would be clear when Lestat was going off script.

[@Dotthel]

This was a tough episode -- and I agree, even if Armand did save Louis I still would have killed him because he had no qualms about killing my daughter.

[@newdaybegins]

Your reaction 🤝 My reaction. It's so refreshing to watch a reaction video and be on the same page as the reactors from beginning to end. This was such a painful episode and the undercurrents and layers to the trial are deep. And yes, we all want violence. Can't wait for your finale reaction.

[@hiloc2561]

Claudia’s fingers going upsets me so viscerally every time I see it. 💔

[@fiftycentbrandkillmonger7060]

Right, and it makes me wonder if someone would have saved her if it would be permanent, like how long can a vampire stay before it’s simply too late. I know it’s based on age since Madeline went first but still

[@joyful]

I just realized something. The trial is a divorce. I believed the church scene in season one was their marriage. But this, this is their divorce. And who suffered the most? Their daughter.

[@jojobell_]

This show is so good, I wish more people would give it a chance

[@LunarHexagon]

They just released the first season on Netflix. This is how they got people hooked on Breaking Bad. AMC knows what they are doing. :)

[@MichaelTargaryen8809]

lets goooo you guys really appreciate this story and i adore it thank you ❤✌🏻✌🏻

[@alexie5201]

One of the best yet the saddest episodes of the show. Claudia deserved better. Sam Reid's acting is mesmerizing, he's such a talented actor.

[@zaleahpalmer5154]

Just wait until the finale 😭😭😭

[@janicedrew9782]

Not that it ultimately matters, but the fight in s1 was from Claudia‘s diary POV not Louis. She sat outside the door and could not see or hear what was going on between them.

[@ROLANDSONOFSTEPHEN690]

This show...... this episode. An absolute masterpiece! Incredible.

[@caritae4821]

LOVE watching this for the 1000th time with you two! Your reactions make it all new. Thank you!🙏🏾 ❤

[@keykeydoes]

I’m watching the show through your videos and I had to pause the video and have a good cry for a few minutes.

[@mateakalanj3988]

oh this one made me sick to my stomach the first time. also do yall remember that scene early on in the season where armand commands the entire coven to lay down with their heads in their plates?? :)

[@AnxietyRat]

To be fair in that moment he was able to catch them ALL off guard when doing that... If he were to do that during the trial or attempt to do that... he wouldn't be catching them off guard at all which makes it a little bit more tricky. He is a very powerful vampire in the mind gift... but there's like 10 to 13 other vampires he's not more powerful than all of them combined when they're all on their best game during the trial.... If he were to do anything they technically absolutely could overpower him if they worked in tandem like they were doing to Claudia and Louis on stage.

[@XHeartCriztalx]

​@@AnxietyRati straight up just don't believe this 😭 he just didn't want to LOL

[@LoLovesLife]

​@@AnxietyRat I agree to a certain extent. The dinner scene I think was a mixture of the coven being caught off guard, Armand's strength, and the fact that the coven (at that point) was willingly submitting to Armand as their coven master. But also, if Armand was truly determined it's hard to say what the limits of his power would be. We know that he tends to take a backseat by choice and not necessarily out of necessity.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@LoLovesLife 100% agree.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@XHeartCriztalx That's okay. There are a lot of people within this fandom who do agree with me. It was actually somebody else on Twitter who pointed this out to me... And it makes sense. Catching someone off guard versus catching someone when they're completely on their guard are VERY different situations regardless of a person's power level especially when talking about psychic powers, IMO.... I mean Armand didn't want to actually do anything... but he wasn't necessarily going to win if he did attempt to. 🤷‍♀️ That's just a fact regarding Anne Rice's vampires. Book readers have talked about this extensively. If Armand catches people off guard yeah he could fucking destroy 13 vampires but trying to fight that amount of vampires when they are on their guard totally... They have a large chance of just killing him.

[@mandarinclemmie]

You know on top of everything being absolutely terrible for Louis, considering that we know that makers can feel their fledglings, do you think he could feel when Madeline died?

[@HuntingViolets]

They didn't show it in season one because Louis was telling the story, and he didn't remember it.

[@mekareactsandreviews3026]

Trust me, u wanna watch the next episode and final ASAP

[@erick7895]

oh this will haunt lestat for the rest of his life

[@AshleySamM]

I hate this show for making me hate, love and feel sorry for each character, the emotional rollercoaster it makes us viewers go through is insane. I dread watching people react to this episode because I know I'll cry. What an amazing show.

[@IAmJustR]

omg the wait for the finale is torture😂

[@hopet7090]

It's so cathartic to see Cody react to this cause alot of his thoughts is exactly how I felt. All Claudia wanted was someone to choose her. I can't wait for him to watch the next episode!!!!

[@moiraargent8085]

Great reaction! I can't wait for your next one.

[@TheGiftyK]

New fan. Love y’all. ❤

[@liverpoolcheese10]

..*NOT a spoiler*...*.just a fun theory (nobody knows)*......a lot of us think Lestat is telepathically talking to Madeleine (reason Santiago is keeping her in a trance); he's trying to reach Claudia thru Madeleine.....that's what they're whispering to each other there at the end; Armand says he can't hear them, but of course he's lying.......

[@ohshiitake]

although i do think lestat was being honest sometimes, this episode triggered the hell out of me as someone who was psychologically abused by my partner for years and had all my friends turn against me bc of his lies told about me. i had to wait a week to watch the finale afterwards.

[@Yiningwu5622]

I felt so awful for louis. I'm sure they had their loving moments but Lestat did him so wrong so often, and to have the script totally flipped to make him out as the bad guy :(

[@lynni_111]

I’ve been waiting for this omg

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

I had been dreading this episode all season because while I didn’t remember the movie much, Claudia’s death very much stuck with me. It still devastated me on its premiere and I get sadder the more times I see it.

[@Obsessed.Since_2010]

22:02 REAL UGHHH it’s such a bittersweet moment, gives me chills and sends me sobbing everytime

[@Allonsy305]

I'm telling you, it's like they made Claudia's death so much more upsetting than the movie.

[@mitchmatt6002]

This episode has all the terrific trademarks that have made this underrated show so very special - high drama, dark humour, strong performances, emotional beats and the perfectly judged placement of music that adds so very much to any scene! The cruelty of Claudia and Madeleine's demise is heartbreaking, and I completely understand the shocked silence as a response! And while I'm utterly shameless in my delight at seeing Lestat restored to his outrageously beautiful, sartorially splendid, deeply flawed, endlessly ridiculous, effortlessly charismatic self - alongside a rather beautiful-in-his-furious-vengeance Santiago, forgive me - this was a particularly hard, and ultimately damning, performance to watch!! Madeleine being the one to finally CHOOSE Claudia though? THAT was the most beautiful part of it all, imo! 🥺 Great reactions, both - I cannot wait till you drop the finale!

[@LunarHexagon]

Y’all looked like as soon as the recording stopped, you threw your headsets across the room.

who's guilty now? at this point, we don't know whose pov is the truth. by this episode, i was so convinced that lestat is innocent! fight me

[@Yiningwu5622]

.... What does this even mean lol? Guilty of what. Lestat knows what he did was horrific. Louis acknowledges that what he and Lestat did to Claudia was also terrible and selfish. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@maevem316]

I mean... at least you'll get your wish for a violent finale next episode. I did personally need a multiple day long break from watching the show after this episode, I've gotta say

[@l.graceaddie2224]

I've seen this episode a couple of times and I've even seen other's reactions to this episode but something about watching y'all's reaction to it gave me the dread of watching this episode for the first time again. So thank you??? I guess??? That was awful.......

[@hypocritex]

The truth is.. they are all toxic and great in their own ways. You saw some of Louis toxicity which he conveniently forgot to bring up previously in this episode. Which is why the unreliable narrator is so important. Even with Claudia.. she couldn’t dream but she could. She didn’t see how Nasty Louis was to Lestat before the drop. Which doesn’t forgive it. But Louis was awful there.. and when he made Lestat make Claudia. Using his loneliness as a weapon. So a lot of your opinions saying “thats not how it happened” aren’t exactly based on facts. Raglan James knew it. Be afraid of Louis. Unstable. Makes everyone around him unhappy. Was Lestat as controlling as you think or is that just how he was painted. We haven’t got an accurate portrayal of Real Lestat yet. Just saying. They are all flawed beings. I enjoyed Lestats accountability and apology in this. Enjoy the last episode and continued perspective.

[@Yiningwu5622]

I agree there are many sides to the story but I think if one things for sure, Lestat was a controlling, obsessive Mother Gothel for much of their relationship. I think it's important that aspect is not washed down, because he clearly learned that behaviour from his dad and brothers.

[@hypocritex]

@@Yiningwu5622 Yes I just get annoyed when Louis is painted as the only victim. When the truth is they were all toxic to each other.

[@Yiningwu5622]

@@hypocritex ... Well toxic is not the same as abusive. Lestat was explicitly abusive. Erasing that is really unhelpful. Like I said, what I really want is for the writers to acknowledge that Lestat learns his abusive tendancies because he was raised by tirants

[@hypocritex]

@@Yiningwu5622 Using someones loneliness as a weapon is emotional abuse. And lets be clear. Louis hit Lestat first. And Lestat DID attempt to restrain himself until Louis went full psycho. They were abusive toward each other. Period.
