I actually love the Louis and Regina subplot because it really is a continuation of the way Louis has always treated women, as a source of emotional labour that he can throw money at and have them make him feel better. Itâs Miss Lily all over again, itâs âpaying a whore to sit in a room and talk with himâ. Making Claudia was always about Louisâ feelings under the pretence of saving her from the fire. He wants to save Regina from poverty but itâs all to make himself feel better. She sees through him but sheâs so broke that she canât afford to say no
