Episode 6 of Season 2 of "Interview with the Vampire" opens with a scintillating dinner scene, where Molloy sits across Rashid in a bustling restaurant. His curiosity burns as to how Rashid obtained the tapes, for only his trusted mailman possessed the keys to his mailbox. As Rashid gracefully excuses himself, Raglan steps into the fray, engaging Molloy in a discussion about the Talamasca's ability to safeguard him. The journalist's desire to emerge unscathed from this ordeal with his novel in hand is palpable, yet Raglan's words cast a shadow of doubt. The Talamasca, he warns, is not renowned for safeguarding its interests. He admonishes Molloy to fear Louis's influence rather than Armand's. A bargain is struck, where the Talamasca offers to assist in the novel's publication if Molloy includes certain queries they long to have answered.
Elsewhere, our vampire lovers are embroiled in a debate over the perfect hue to adorn their walls. Louis's anger still simmers over the memory-erasing incident, manifesting in his passive-aggressive demeanor. Our gaze shifts to Paris, where Sam is hard at work on a new play. Armand leverages this as an opportunity to soothe Santiago with his praise, while Louis counters that Armand's recollections are tainted by his biased perspective. However, Armand maintains his stance, claiming he was blinded by love, unable to perceive Santiago's and the coven's schemes. Louis dissents, arguing Armand's complacency as a leader had nothing to do with love.
Meanwhile, Santiago and his cronies continue their scheming, extending an invitation to Lestat's accountant for the play's opening night. While Armand scrambles to prepare the coven for the play's premiere, Louis indulges in purchasing paintings for resale, aiming for profits. Claudia, on the other hand, forges a bond with Madeleine, saving the dressmaker from an attack at her abode and revealing her vampire identity. However, Madeleine remains unperturbed, and Claudia later allows her to peruse his letters. Louis's inadvertent discovery of this does not sit well with him.
However, Claudia artfully persuades Louis to entertain the thought of transforming Madeleine into a vampire. She argues that Louis owes her a favor, and she desires a companion of her own while he indulges in his latest affair, choosing another man over her. After listening intently to Claudia's words, Louis begs Armand to perform the ritual. Unbeknownst to Louis, Armand has never created a vampire, a fact he reveals only later. Despite his reluctance, Armand interrogates Madeleine, gauging her resilience for the solitary existence that awaits a vampire. Bravely, Madeleine assures him that she has seen and survived far worse.
Regrettably, Armand declines, forcing Louis to take matters into his own hands with Claudia's assistance. He begs Armand to ensure that the coven remains oblivious to their plans. Fortunately, the coven was engrossed in their own devious schemes and remained ignorant of Madeleine's fate.
Despite her initial reluctance, Claudia ultimately accepts Louis's proposal, even though she had hoped for Madeleine to receive Lestat's blood. Together, the two of them successfully transform Madeleine. That fateful night, the coven presents Armand with an ultimatum, and he seemingly chooses Louis.
He gathered his belongings and settled in with Louis, bidding farewell to Madeleine and Claudia as they departed the town. Yet, Louis managed to stay in touch with Claudia through his connection with Madeleine. He confided in Armand, acknowledging the weight of this bond yet affirming that he did not regret transforming Madeleine or the loss of Claudia. Meanwhile, Armand voiced his apprehensions about the coven's potential retaliation, fearing the loss of Louis. Louis, however, was comforted by Armand's choice, feeling secure in his companionship.
Amidst these thoughts, Louis pondered if Armand had intentionally deceived him on that fateful day. Armand then shifted the conversation to San Francisco, arguing that Louis had no right to be angry. According to Armand, Louis had asked him to erase his memory, and he apologized to Molloy when demanded. Armand further defended himself, recalling the pages he had torn from Claudia's diary, insisting that it was only to safeguard his own secrets. He did not wish to share his shame with anyone, especially Molloy. He clarified that his sole failure towards Louis had not occurred in San Francisco.
The scene then shifted back to Paris, uncovering the sole betrayal of Armand towards Louis. A few days after Madeleine's transformation, Armand, Louis, Claudia, and Madeleine gathered for dinner. The evening began amicably, with Madeleine and Claudia sharing tales of their newfound happiness. They seemed content, and Madeleine even spoke of her awareness of Louis's love for Armand and Claudia. As they indulged in their merriment, Armand suddenly halted the passage of time, allowing the coven's members to abduct Louis, Claudia, and Madeleine without a trace.
