** Louis utter denial of Claudia's personality and feelings is pretty sad, she cares for him in her own way and has been through so much with him but he just will not admit to the fact she 100% wants Lestat dead and was deeply unstable from all the abuse she was put through, preferring to lie and or rewrite events in a way that omits the parts of her Louis didn't like to look at. Daniel bluntly comments that when events came to a head despite all the abuse and cruelty he suffered at Lestat's hands and the fact Lestat was out to kill Claudia Louis choose Lestat over her, with a flashback showing Louis choking her in a rage exactly like Lestat did.
** The series ending reveal that Louis learned *absolutely nothing* from his long lasting toxic relationship with Lestat as evidenced by him having struck up another relationship with a shady older vampire, who book readers know is if anything a lot worse than Lestat.

** Several times the racism endemic to the era comes up. Louis at one point is disturbed to realise his responses to being condescended to and patronised have become automatic and he struggles to get the white French Lestat to understand what he faces. He also has to pretend to be Lestat's valet at the opera, and later on someone heckles Claudia because she isn't allowed in a university library. the vampiric telepathy also gives Louis the ability to tell when even the men he plays cards with are thinking disparaging thoughts about him.

* In episode 7, Claudia and Louis go through with their plan of killing Lestat. Louis himself deals the final blow, slitting his throat, but it is clear this is a painful thing for him to do and he is in tears the entire time. Lestat himself doesn't fight back and simply says that he's glad it's Louis with him in the end.

** Claudia crying after she tells Louis that they have to burn Lestat, and he shoves her against the wall, choking her like Lestat did.
** Daniel understands that Louis is being an UnreliableNarrator again when he says neither he or Claudia wanted to burn Lestat, nor that he was in ManlyTears while doing it, and as he barrages him, Louis holding Lestat while screaming in agony is shown.

* It becomes clear that Lestat is abusive to Antoinette as well. Emotionally manipulative to her and very dismissive, roughly handling her and using her as essentially a doll for sex, food and comfort with giving nothing in return. Louis (who wants her dead) even acknowledges how easily Lestat would discard her if it would get the “right” reaction from Louis. In episode 6 alone this has left her mutilated, presumed dead and sobbing outside her own home she was thrown out of so Lestat and Louis can have sex on her bed.
