The Vampire Lestat season 3 episode 2: More on Gabriella’s arrival
We recognize that there are a few different stories worth watching out for as we quickly approach The Vampire Lestat season 3 episode 2. Is Gabriella’s arrival near the top of the list?
Ultimately, we recognize that there are a lot of compelling things about watching this dynamic at present, with one of the biggest being the oh-so-simple fact that we have not heard all that much about the title character’s mother. How much did he tell Louis? Also, how exactly are they both mother and son as well as lovers?

Well, let’s just say that all of this is complicated, and in a new interview with Den of Geek, Sam Reid dives into all of it a little bit further:
“There aren’t a lot of real-world analogues for it but if you separate them all, there are … There’s the mother/son, and then there’s lovers and maker and fledgling. You put the three of those things together and play them all at the same time. Which is what this show is most of the time – you’re playing like five things at the same time. It’s really fun. It’s so complicated, it’s such a messy thing.
“To do that with Jennifer was just a total joy. Pulling and pushing and seeing where we could go and how far we could go. It’s an amazing bunch of dynamics we play. It’s not done for exploitation or to be shocking. It is fundamental to the character and structurally who he is and why he is as fucked up as he is. I feel like you learn so much about these characters going through that. It’s very uncomfortable to watch. But the book series has never been comfortable. There’s nothing comfortable about it.”
We imagine that episode 2 is going to do at least some work to try to define this relationship further, even if the idea of doing that alone is a complicated thing to pull off. These are characters who have lived for so long that within that, just how much will we ever see?
