Get ready to sink your teeth into episode 4 of The Vampire Lestat, aptly titled “The Devil's Road.” As the series unfolds, viewers gain deeper insights into Lestat’s troubled past. Lestat's complex relationship with his mother, Gabrielle, takes center stage in this episode. Unlike his overtly abusive father and brother, Gabrielle's manipulation is subtle yet damaging. In a shocking flashback, we see Lestat teaching Gabrielle the ropes of her newfound vampiric powers. Their mother-son bond takes a sinister turn when Gabrielle kills her lover, igniting a mix of jealousy and twisted affection in Lestat.
