I love how they blended both books to give a more nuanced version of the story. Also, notice how in the original fight scene, not a scratch on Lestat but with this addition to the story, he is also very hurt too. I'm not saying Lestat was right in all his actions but Louis wasn't guiltless in their fucked up dynamic.

💔🫂 Aw

This episode pmo off so bad. Like why tf did they have to do that to them??? They were fucking leaving. Claudia deserved so much better . Poor Madeline 😥😥😥
Alffe
This episode traumatised me so bad that I dreamt about it twice and woke up crying both times😭😭
femi
the fact that claudia died thinking lestat was responsible just keeps me up at night
Elliot Alderson
Of course he's going to be shocked. No one is just going to expect someone they're intimate with, who claims they love them, to put them on trial for murder, and kill their daughter. Essentially 'lynch' them! Doesn't matter the red flags, it's betrayal, of course you're gonna feel betrayed... And Louis did not "run back to Lestat", where did you get that from. He literally punished all 3 of them, for 70+yrs and then STILL didn't go back to Lestat after that. He stayed alone, for as long as he needs to, to heal. And of course he's going to save Louis, not Claudia. First because Louis is his companion, and Claudia hated his guts. But because if he saved Claudia, he wouldn't have been able to save Louis or Madeleine, and they would've then killed Claudia anyways. So by saving Louis, he was at least able to truly save one of them. If he had "saved" Claudia, then he'd have just subjected her to be locked in a coffin, covered in rocks, having to feel both Madeleine and Louis' death, able to do absolutely nothing. Than she would have just slowly been left to starve to death. Why would you wish that on her. Dying, in her lovers arms is a mercy, compared to that horror. Why not talk about Armands hand in all of this?? Why is he getting a complete pass from you.
artemys
honestly im just here to not cry alone lol
Zariah Sams
HUH???? Let’s talk because what do you mean?????
lunarspice
I’m sorry but, Lestat is right! I need to find my tribe because I need to DISCUSS! 😭😭
Shanique Wallace
When Zzavid called us sick for watching reactions to the show….i felt that….😭 yes…you’re right…we are sick in the head lmao.
chiap3ts

K Monroe
But the PINSTRIPES. Mans was in mental JAIL y’all!
prettycinepile
I hate that Louis is shocked about Armand’s betrayal because GURL there where MULTIPLE RED FLAGS and to run back to lestat….like claudia needs to haunt all of them DOWN also the fact that lestat had an opportunity to save his man or his child and chose his man is so foul
Rebecca Hopkins
I am so, so sorry. 😞 😢
Lady-ish
Listen...that part about the rats....PTSD.
Daviid
like the audacity to look so fucking chic for a SLAUGHTER... like I need that suit
LaTrese Harris
🤣🤣🤣
Jade Madison
Yesss 😆
Dri
Lestat showing up in the sleakest freakum suit to help them massacre my girl!! LOOK AT HOW THEY MASSACRED MY GIRLLLLLLL!!!
Himindabank
I feel like the trial was lowkey unwilling👀
LaTrese Harris
I felt that. I just instantly think of the red head teacher from Scary Movie 🤣😂🤣. It plays on a loop in my mind whenever Armand speaks.
Jade Madison
Every time Armand chimes in I start yelling at my screen and have to rewind to catch what I missed during my fit 🤬🔪😅
Amy J
Not Armand trying to get Louis out of paying child support. Shady bitch. I'm about to throw myself in the grave at her funeral. Jesus why, tell me why! 😭
Daviid
LMFAOOOOO I’m telling you this show will drain the life force out of you
Cornelius
The emotional rollercoaster I just went with you on in the last 52 minutes :')
Audrey
This is somehow one of the best episodes ever made but also one of the WORST episodes ever made omg... Claudia looking to Lestat for comfort in her final moments because he was the only one left on that stage that ever loved her :((( MY SHAYLAAAAA 😭 Also Fuck all these racist bitches in the coven and in the audience cus hall loved her when she sang and danced for u !!!! hope theyre all DEAD!!!!
mesh tee
great reaction! omg the moment you started playing the song at the end though, cracked me the fuck up. hahahaha XD I burst out laughing! But I also cried with you throughout it. That just took me off guard, lol, I didn't think you would actually show it playing, haha.
Daviid
like it still gets me to this day
Des Bethea
i just finished the Sopranos lol it's so good. Your reaction to Claudia was all of us, rip the queen <3
meg thomas
oh also love, when you get to the last episode wait until the end of the credits for the season 3 teaser trailer
meg thomas
yasss it makes me so happy to know you love the sopranos, one of my faves. your taste in movies and shows never ceases to amaze me ♥
HotCuppa TeaImp
You want spoilers to the novels?! XD
OhsoIcannotbehere.
Could you please elaborate for the ones (me) who haven't read the books ? Thank you queen 🫢
Gianluca
Not at all! Next time show us the beautiful baby 🐶🐶🐶
Daviid
LMFAOOOOO I try to mute it but it’s so loud I just gave up, I hope it’s not too distracting
Gloria L.
Stoooop 😭😭😭😭😭
L Gollum
When Armand was accusing Lestat and Zzavid said "I don't think you should be speaking right now" THANT YOU !!! I just can't stand Armand !! This episode is so sad but I was soooo happy to see Lestat again I just can't get enough he IS the show 🥰
Gianluca
I know it's your pup grumbling but he sounds like you're just letting out the gnarliest farts the whole way through this vid
Gloria L.
If you could see me right now.. a MESS. I am only tears and anger right now. Tired, I am also tired 😅
astoldbyzhoii
clock it! i’m still mad at him playing Louis with the narrative “Sam with the stick was so scary!”
astoldbyzhoii
i wasn’t finna drink but i remembered they took my aunt out the game!
Tori Carter
ZZAVID NOOOOO 😭 Girl, this episode almost made start smoking again. I promise the next episode is better ❤️
Daviid
Yea, I know I’m a sad fag, I know😭🤣
Daviid
I didn’t last 3 minutes before I started crying, like what is happening?!😭
Daviid
It’ll be all in the same video my luv👀
Symone
When you watch the next episode you react to the teaser for next season after
Gloria L.
The readiness is nowhere to be found and yet I will press play 😭
Hunter ❤️
Claudia finally found someone who chose her over everyone else 😭💔
Two French Bears React
This episode is such a tragedy, like the ancient great tragédies ! Monumental. Can’t wait for the next One !
Janyce Gonzalez
To quote Alicent Hightower from HOTD, “look what they have done to my girl!”
Tori Carter
🚬😔
Daviid
I don’t think I’ve ever been so attached to a character in my life. Like this show cuts DEEP
LaTrese Harris
I’m glad you’re back and I hope you’re feeling okay. I have mixed emotions about the situation. Armand can definitely tap dance in Hell for all I care. This episode broke my heart and Claudia and Madeline deserved sooooo much better than that.
Nez
and played a part in both
HotCuppa TeaImp
See the thing for me, is poor Claudia went out way different in the books. The show at least gave her a decent strong ending. And boy, let me tell you, you think Armand is a bastard here for his betrayal…honey it is so much more worst in the novels. Yes, the ending was heartbreaking, did I shed a tear or two, yes…but once more I read the novels so I know the real ending. Thank you Zzavid for your tears and always great commentary!
My’kel J
Episode 8 is gonna feel so good after this I promise !!!
Daviid
LMFAOOOOO I get it… I get it😭
Atticus
By far this was the best episode of the entire series overall, I still haven’t seen the very last episode yet so that may change, however from start to finish this one had me fucking ENTHRALLED
MoniqueRose
It's like watching Bridge to Terabithia and My Girl, it hurts and you know how it ends but you are desperate for it to change 😭😭😭
Dangerouskoala
But honesty this show deserves every tear every laugh every gasp it earned it I’ve watched it so many times and my jaw still be on the floor
lunasara059
What hurt watching this the first time was seeing Claudia finding out the truth of her creation. She always believed it but never heard Louis say it. It never was about her, but them. And then, when she finally finds someone who loves her completely, she loses her. 😞 💔
Amal
You know that British reaction meme of the blonde lady who starts screaming, ripping the curtains and breaking everything in the living room? That was me during this episode
Billie 🫶🏽
Every time I rewatch season 2 this episode will always make me cry a river and seeing these comments are making me cry even more. Stop it I am grown women crying like a child thanks a lot 😭😭😭
Himindabank
The fact that Lestat was they only person to witness both her birth and death😭
frogluvr
i am so sorry to have enjoyed this
Malumi
They're so evil and so beautiful 😭
ÇHÆÝØÚÑÚGˇSB
and thats why i dont feel for lestat at all and i cant stand him f that nigga and louis too
Leila E.
the fact that some sick fuck had the audacity to quote tweet a picture of madeleine looking back at claudia when she said she was her coven with "orpheus looks back at eurydice and it's not a tragedy. eurydice knows she's loved." i was fucking crying for like 30 minutes
Sabrina Walker
Subscription canceled on me last damn night! If I didn’t take my husbands last $5 today to make sure I could cry with you while folding clothes and I am not ashamed!!!
Latreece McKinney
Beautiful demonic bitch. 😂😂😂
Carmel Adam
I forgot how the movie that Claudia died and thought she will be safe in here and nope nope nope. I’m gonna watch a comfort movie now🫠
Penny Dreadful
What I loved about this episode is that someone finally put Claudia first, even at the expense of her own life. Madeline was badass, and a perfect companion for Claudia.
Simone Lott
Me: oh I’m so ready to watch this and decompress! *cries the whole time*
Lavender Violet
No matter what you think of the character of Lestat, no one can deny the absolute show-stopping performance put on by Sam Reid in this (and every) episode. He is amazingly good in this role.
Leila E.
baby i took my gummy, i got my ice cream and im ready to cry myself to sleep tonight lets go
Catlady de Winter
Girl...😢 Same! Claudia is my everything and I love Madeleine. Also, everytime both Lestat and Armand opened their mouths (especially Armand tbh, who's the kind of projection mind you), I wanted to throw hands! Anyways, I think you'll like episode 8 and I hope you'll react to season 3's teaser cuz baby, that one is a doozy! Thanks for another great reaction as always!
Kit
Yes that was as awful as it was the first time. If it helps at all the next episode will be so much better
Mirroll
Yeah I totally get where this is coming from, but Louis was also a victim of Louis' boyfriends and we shouldn't forget that. And Claudia insisted on going with the coven herself so that was her choice that had consequences for her, even if she didn't deserve them.
Daviid
HANNAHHH😭💀 oh my god, I remember my heart shattering
Kit
This episode was such a hard watch for me, rewatching it doesn’t sound like a good time but I’ll do it for you 😭
Mirroll
Darling. I can only say... I feel your pain. Truly. And Claudia? She was strong - she went in her own way, at the end. I can only be proud in my heartbreak. At the same time, this episode is one of the most amazing pieces of television I've seen in my lifetime. The finale is the cathartic counterpart to it, and it helps us look towards the future even when Claudia will ALWAYS be in the background, gone but never forgotten. Lestat's appearance here, despite his awful role (not yet completely opened up to us though) in this, is also one of my absolute favourites of this show yet. Next season is going. To. Be. Showstopping. I send my love to you, thank you for enduring this with us ❤️
KJayyy
The last time i saw David get this upset over a character death was during Haunting of Bly Manor when we found out about Hannah 🥺🥺 the EMOTIONS from this episode.
Miki
wait i feel kind of bad im sorry zzavid this episode wrecked souls
jadespademarmalade
Gotta charge my laptop so I can talk at you like you’re right there with me
crimsonbeheritz
ok so im crying too now, Claudia's death will NEVER not be sad. One thing I loved about this episode was that it revealed how we don't actually know Lestat at all because Louis's, Armands's and Claudia's diaries are all mostly either biased/lying or have faulty memories (ex: when Louis couldn't remember if it was raining or not in S1 and how Lestat actually warned Louis about the Great Law right before he turned Claudia) so we get to see how Lestat saw things from his perspective. Also, keep in mind we've never actually MET Lestat, it's all a recollection of memories. After watching the finale (THE PLOTWIST OMG??) its so cool seeing little details that hint at what was actually happening the whole time. anyways, as much as I need your reaction to episode 8 since YESTERDAY, I do understand that this episode was so emotionally draining and you have shit to do so take your time queen, i'll be eagerly waiting !! xoxo
Jasmine
The next episode is when shit gets real and when justice is fucking served and I can't wait for you to watch it👏🏾
Jamie
Claudia just wanted someone to pick her and it finally happened and they were almost out and then freaking Armand had to have them kidnapped so that they stood no chance because he is a big coward! UGH. At least with Lestat, you know what you're getting (not that that makes him better) but with Armand, he'll freaking play in your face with some bullshit. Asshole. He's not my favorite at all. Louis and Lestat, there's not much you can say about them, you know those bitches are going to break up and get back together for all eternity because that's who they are and they love each other beyond anything else. Claudia better haunt them all. PS: the finale is so good.
crimsonbeheritz
OMGGG GONNA GO WATCH BRB tehe :>
Nicole
Damn, miss thing. I am only 6 minutes in and I feel so bad you had to watch this! 😭 I haven't even seen this episode of the show yet and was going to watch it "with you" right now, but I can already tell this is going to be a rough one 😫
Mimi G
Holeeeeee sheeeittttt im so excited. Will return after my 5th rewatch
Menbungie
I’m so sorry! These last two episodes complete ruined me but honestly it also had me rewatching the entire series again to see how I missed the signs! We are coming to the end for now but I will say you should watch the little promo for Lestat’s season 3 at the end of your finale just to lighten the mood because you WILL need it even after editing ❤️
Wanzi
I teared up with you, in the words of the late and great Claudia herself "FUCK THESE VAMPIRES"
Kami
I agree, the three of them together and happy? A fucking DREAM 🥺❤️
Kami
It wouldn't be that simple for Lestat... There's more detail about it in the books, but despite I would LOVE to watch him fight them, he'd probably be killed (sorry for my horrible English)
Layluh
To quote queen claudia “Fuck these vampires!”
Hades
take a self care day 🥺
Janet Griffin
David I hope you’ve been taking care of yourself since you watched this episode. Seeing you so upset not even five minutes in had us all crying with you. The only time Claudia had any semblance of a family was when she was first turned. Once Charlie died it was a wrap. It makes me so angry because all Lestat had to do was tell them about the laws, his powers and stop treating Louis and Claudia like his inferiors. Lestat could have helped Claudia navigate her desires or at least try to. My god those three would have been unstoppable!! Tragic loss!!
Linds
The show gives Claudia so much more depth but it makes her death hurt SO much worse. Watching you get so attached to her was like watching a car crash in slow motion 😭 Hope you can gather the strength to watch episode 8 soon. I tell you what, I was SO glad to have a week between each ep when it came out
Julien
Im already tearing up 5mins in STAWPPPP
Sydney Chestnut
I had to hit another bowl half way through this I WAS A FUCKING MESS CRYING
Julien
OH GODD
Kaiya Darling
I feel like even if Lestat didn’t come Claudia would’ve died anyway. But yeah Claudia story is heartbreaking. She didn’t have a moment of happiness. She was in hell the whole time and the only reason for her existence was to be someone for Louis. Then when Louis was with Armand Claudia didn’t matter anymore. It sucks that she was only stuck with Lewis because Louis didn’t know how to be alone.
talia
i'm so sorry baby but okay ashley tisdale and hilary duff music references!!!
LJ
THANK GOD the finale is healing and satisfying because when i tell you the first time i watched ep7 i was so sad and so pissed off i almost stopped watching... but the finale is truly a cinematic masterpiece and i'm so glad i kept going
SBscarlett
Why does this hurt worse the second time 🥴
Violet
Tbh I really needed that Mary j bilge vid at the end cuz I was sobbing with you 🥹
Angelo Trevino
🚰🥲 - 🍵 thank you for refills
Daviid
ugh, its so nice to see her smiling
Emily Westenra
ZZavid i love you and if it makes you feel better I sob every time i see an edit of this episode on tiktok. also did you enjoy Nosferatu?
Cheyenne Predium
I know it's painful.....but we need episode 8 like NEOW! Pleaseee (when you are feeling better of course).
Mina
she's fine, this is fine, we're all fine! 😭go look at her being fab in cosmo to take the edge off: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/beauty-hair/a63406398/delainey-hayles-beauty-interview/
Babi~
So sorry for your loss. Hope you’re grieving them properly (mine is by watching reaction videos and yes, I am a masochist).
malili
i’ve seen this episode an insane amount of times and it NEVER fails to make me cry, she was just a child
Keith Atkinson
Dear David - this was a really rough one, I was paralyzed watching this live on TV, they twisted the knife with this version. You got through it. 🙏🏽
xris037
EH, Lestat never intended to murder Louis. He wanted to hurt Louis. Not kill him. He knew the fall wouldn't kill him. So, I can't agree that it was attempted murder. It was assault and battery.
sierra's reaction corner
I'm so sorry 😭 This show is sick and twisted and Claudia was the most mistreated character here. This was traumatic as hell and I understand if you need therapy after this...but at least Claudia had Madeleine! The one silver lining in all this is that at least she died knowing that there was one person willing to put her first. :(
Shannon
I've had a laugh or two at your "trauma" in the past, but this was different. That last few seconds broke my heart.
shirley marshall
Lots of respect and love to you David.
Kalder
Claudia deserved so much better and it's so sad when you realize she was probably safer with Lestat (who didn't want her, but would've let her live for Louis) than she was with Louis (who refused to believe Armand threatened her and kept pissing off the coven). The only ones who deserves some sympathy are Claudia and Madeline because they were victims of Louis' boyfriends
xris037
the thesis of the first book is that passivity comes in many forms and harms as much as activity. i think the show did a great job of re-developing that thesis. they propose that passivity isn't necessarily just an unwillingness to do something but also the external confinements of race and an abusive partner - AND the internal rejections of self-truth. louis is impossible to figure out because he won't let himself figure out himself, he won't let others figure him out, and he is prevented from figuring himself out by external forces.
Bradley Allen
for the start i was crying
Gabby
Lmao I’ll listen to all suggestions and I love the answer
Kristin Riviello
We love you Zzavid!!!!! Where do we send our contributions for your therapy bill??

Crying in the first 3 minutes ohh you get it
K R
I WONT BE SAWWREYYY!! okay. sitting down now. #seated to cry.
Rebecca Stone
I love how much you hate this but still persist, we respect it x This version of Claudia's story is so much more heartbreaking than book or movie but this Claudia out shone any other. But as short a time as it was she actually found a love who would die for her. That's more than most who have had much easier lives.
Janyce Gonzalez
*sighs* how much will the therapy session be? *pulls out wallet*
