It’s the Season 1 finale, “The Thing Lay Still,” and it’s the end of the unholy family as we know it as Claudia and Louis carry out the plot against Lestat in New Orleans. In Dubai, the truth starts to unravel. We look back on what this rewatch experience has done for us personally and as a trio and look ahead to our next season after a brief hiatus. The end, the beginning.
