Last week on Interview With the Vampire, Louis, Claudia, and Madeleine were put on trial for the attempted murder of Lestat and it had devastating results. Claudia and Madeleine were both put to death, but at the last moment, Louis was spared, only to be essentially buried alive in the bowels of the theater. This week, the aftermath of the trial is revealed and the truth about who saved Louis comes to life. Here's everything that happened in the season finale of Interview With the Vampire.
Armand says that Santiago takes over as leader of the coven, but Armand played up his own subjugation. When no one was looking, he swapped out a sacrifice for Louis to help him escape. Louis says that he was dead, but his rage and madness rose. He escapes to the cemetery where he kills the groundskeeper and takes shelter in a crypt. There he begins to plan his revenge like a madman. Telepathically, Armand tells Louis to leave Paris.
The two vampires taunt one another with Louis calling Santiago by his real name — Francis — and goading him about his mortal life and how underwhelming he was as a mortal man, how embarrassed his maker had been of him. Ultimately, Louis beheads Santiago. He later meets up with Armand when he started lying to him.
With the story told, Daniel says he has some follow up questions and it turns out that tucked into the newspaper Rashid brought him is a document from Raglan. Daniel asks some specific questions, particularly about Lestat's mind control abilities and then points out that Lestat also could have saved Louis that night at the theater. Armand tries to shut it down but Daniel has a script with director's notes and those notes are Armand's, exposing him.
