In 1916, this musical cue represents the end of the honeymoon phase for Louis and Lestat's CommonLawMarriage because cracks have begun to appear, while in 2022, the dessert is the same one Daniel had when he proposed to his first wife Alice, and his tone of voice while he's reminiscing suggests that he misses her (or at least misses how happy they were at the start of their engagement).

* WeakenedByTheLight: Lestat initially fails to mention to his newborn fledgling that sunlight is fatal to vampires, so Louis is covered with severe burn scars after spending about a minute outside when it's sunny. Fortunately, he returns to Lestat's townhouse in time, and eventually recovers.

* ZombifyTheLiving: This episode features the vampirism variety where the transition from living to undead occurs while Louis is on the threshold of death, and therefore he's technically still alive (albeit barely). He doesn't lose consciousness after he consumes Lestat's vampire blood, and thus he never becomes an inert corpse. Louis details how it felt for his human body to adapt to vampirism:
-->'''Louis''': ''(in 2022 narrating to Daniel)'' Bliss was merely a stage in my transformation. Pain followed, a seizing and unrelenting pain, through which I would pass before my apprenticeship began.\\
'''Louis''': ''(in 1910 while struggling to walk)'' What's happening?!\\
'''Lestat''': Your body is confused. Your lungs feel like water, your heart, fire. You feel as if you're dying, because you are.\\
''(Louis [[VomitDiscretionShot vomits]])''\\
'''Lestat''': [[CaptainObvious And then there's the retching.]]
