it blows my fucking mind that someone could genuinely like the way paul was included in this episode. paul did not trust and could not stand lestat. there were hints that would paul would commit suicide, such as him overeating and having extra wine because he wanted to enjoy his last night on earth. eating all his favorite foods and indulging because he won’t get another chance. he wanted to see the sunrise with his brother like when they were little. he also wanted to ask louis who he trusted what the state of both louis’s and grace’s life were. to see if they would be alright without him.
that’s why he asks louis if he thinks levi truly loves grace. then he brings up louis getting married and asks him about his dealings with lestat. and when louis tells him he’s done with lestat. paul visibly relaxes, he’s assured that both his brother and sister are safe and in good hands. they’ll be fine without him, especially because paul knows the burdens he places on them. so he thinks that this would be in their best interest, that it’ll be okay.
he reminds louis one more time to stay away from lestat and calls him the devil.
the last thing he says to his brother is “i love you, louis” before walking off that roof
now paul isn’t appearing to his brother who he loved more than anyone in the world. instead he’s appearing to the white french man whom he thought was the devil and could not stand. not only does he appear to this man but he THANKS HIM. “for loving his brother the way he needed to be loved”
idk how you could watch the first season and then watch this fucking 60 car pile up and not wonder what fumes the writers were vigorously huffing.
the only thing this season excelled at was completely dismantling, destroying, and pissing on the ashes of the first two.
