The Vampire Lestat, Season 3 Episode 6 'Montreal' ends with major twist

tvJul 13, 202655621

The Vampire Lestat Season 3 Episode 6, titled "Montreal," ends with a shock that the episode’s reviewer said made them literally jump out of their chair. ComicBookClubLive reports the penultimate hour centers on Lestat (Sam Reid) grappling with the failure of his album "The Failures" (a 3.1 out of 10 review score and barely on the Billboard Top 100) as he and his circle rework the music for vampire ears. The episode foregrounds an intimate, emotionally devastating conversation among Lestat, Louis (Jacob Anderson), and a third surprising and upsetting character, and includes a seance to conjure the ghost of a vampire daughter who died decades earlier. The recap notes family secrets: Lestat’s mother Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle) has been withholding key information about Armand’s maker Marius (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Akasha, the Queen of the Damned (Sheila Atim), and the show reiterates physical costs already shown this season, including Louis missing a foot or leg and Armand missing an eye. A standout Claudia sequence drew particular emotional reaction in coverage and social posts, and the episode’s final moment both shocks and rearranges expectations for the finale. Those elements leave concrete setup for the season finale next week, where the showrunner’s hinted “magic trick” and the threads around Gabriella, Lestat’s music, and Akasha are poised to converge.

House of the Dragon and The Vampire Lestat is a hell of a night of television, boy howdy.

What a fucking POWERFUL TVL episode, I’m so hyped for the finale even though I don’t want the season to end. Here’s a meme I made to help me cope lmao

Add in My Adventures with Superman breaking out the blue kryptonite, and today has been an absolute banger.

The park scene in TVL (before the incident) cracked me up tonight. Moving to HotD now.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT: EPISODE 6 - “MONTREAL” is one of the absolute best episodes of television I’ve seen in a while. I cannot scream enough how much y’all are missing out if you’re not watching “Interview With A Vampire/The Vampire Lestat”.

Loved it so so much. Louis and Lestat being cute and bitchy to each other is so damn charming.

Lestat: “I’m gonna sing this heartfelt love song to my on-again/off again lover, but also in front of my mom (who I’m also fucking), but I can’t take too long, because we have a seance tonight to conjure the ghost of our vampire daughter who died tragically decades ago. String section, do better” 😂

I could easily say this every week, but that episode of The Vampire Lestat actually shook me to my core (the audacity to end that way??).

The Vampire Lestat concert both created beautiful community and made the series come to life in ways beyond our wildest dreams.

it really is so fucking uncalled for for sam reid to act his fucking heart out for 3/4s of an episode, genuinely oscar worthy shit, and then delainey hayes just casually saunters onto screen and fucking mogs him mid jestergooning

No because I want to as I'm not normal

Its crazy how much of a catty bitch Daniel remains, and I love every minute of it. Eric Bogosian keeps showing up in a way that both charming and induces dread.

Ahead of tonight’s episode of #TheVampireLestat, I spoke with Jacob Anderson and Delainey Hayles about Lestat and Louis’ intense night out, that emotionally exposing seance, and what happens in the final minutes:

again like... this show simply never goes wrong by putting these two guys in a scene together. they're fantastic individually but they're lightning in a bottle when you put them together. such a good episode.

Very good and interesting interview with Jacob Anderson about playing Louis in The Vampire Lestat vs IwtV (there ARE spoilers from last night's episode, though, so be aware). Also, haaaaa I knew I'd seen him before but I was today years old when I realized/remembered he was Grey Worm in GoT 🙃😆

I was in the same boat a couple weeks ago. Knew I'd seen him but couldn't place where. bsky.app/profile/scot...

I haven't watched GoT, but was at a friend's house recently where it was on and got very excited because both Jacob Anderson AND Kristian Nairn were in the episode! 😂 (Sadly friend has seen neither IWTV or OFMD)

an ocean of emotion

@betarayben.bsky.social

I both love and respect Lestat for just the epitome of theatre kid whose only bit is being a vampire.
