my favorite thing about the finale is that the interactions between lestat and claudia throughout are constantly mirroring the chess game from the end of ep 6.

i think it’s best displayed in the scene where they’re playing Debussy on the piano together, and claudia broaches the subject of the grand ball. it’s the first time (at least that i remember) where lestat shows deference to his second progeny, by demanding louis turn the page while he and claudia finish the piece.

by the time she brings up the ball, he’s sold. she knows he values his survival above all else, but she also knows how much he craves attention and scandal.
