I am sosososososo done with Gabriella in the show. I don’t like any part of her and don’t know if there’s going to be any pay off like lestat realising the abuse etc.
I thought there might’ve been when lestat came into the room and said ‘we were mother and son’ or something like that in the last episode. Then they slept together again. The incestuous and abusive nature of it has been a really hard watch.
That was a flashback to the first time they slept together. We needed to see how they escalated from mother and son, maker and fledgling, to lovers. Once she FINALLY said she loved him and he slept with her, and then she disappeared on him. That was relevant to her most recent disappearance because he was starting to spiral again (cabbage, cabbage, cabbage!). They haven’t slept together again since the pact, they only exchanged blood and I think the last time he showed that was on episode two.
I totally get that you’re over her; her sexual manipulation of her son is disturbing. But it was important to reinforce why he was so open to Marius when he met him, as a parental figure, and why Gabriella has so much power over Lestat’s psyche. And why he has such abandonment issues.
Hang in there, I don’t think more sex is coming in the present.
