This contains big time spoilers. If you haven’t watched the episode, I am advising you turn back now. Save yourself.**
Let me just say this now, Eric keep your cash in your pockets, because you can bite me anytime you like for absolutely free. I mean what was up with that? Why in the world would Eric need to pay for company? Anyway, we find out Lorana is there by Eric’s request. Granted, he is shady and wants Sookie, because he doesn’t know what she is. I know she is annoying as hell and I want someone to muzzle her, if that is your plan for Eric then by all means; other than that I don’t get it.

Straight out of the book vampire Isabel offers “her” human, Hugo to Eric for Sookie’s little caper. Flashback time, yeaaa! I’m starting to like these little moments. First off, tell Bill OH, HELL NAW, never, ever, never sing anything else ever again. We get a flashback to the roaring 20s, where we see Lorana and Bill get their vampire on, and not in a good way. Posing as a French couple they decided to feed off two unsuspecting dumbasses. And might I just add, Bill should get to be English just once, because his French accent was as bad as his Southern.
Speaking of bad, Daphne and Sam. Sam manages to ask the $1 million question, “Where the f@ck did you come from?” And Tara is still letting a bunch of people she has know what a month or so shack at Stackhouse manor. Boring, boring something about a messed up shower, her and Eggs are sent to get a part to fix it. Back at bible camp, Jason and Luke are recruited to build the “Meet the Sun” podium. Hugo and Sookie had some banter, blah, blah, getting old needs to be made into a vampire. Who cares? But, I have a sneaking suspicion that we are going to get a long conversation about this from her in Bill in a few episodes.
Eggs almost got interesting this episode. While he and Tara on the road he started remembering places he said he had never been. Strange. He and Tara stumble upon what looked like to me some sort of sacrificial alter. By the way girls, I’m going to need a bat or club something, to bash Andy Belfor over the head with. He cannot, cannot go around yelling at Lafayette. I won’t have it! Andy’s little tirade sends Lafayette to fetal position, only to be comforted by wonderfully awesome Terry.
I have to say it Bad Vampire Bill was hot!!! And thanks to a nice little flashback, we get probably the most horror-like episode in show history, because while Bill and Lorana feed off the two unsuspecting dumbasses we got a bloody mess. Yum! Keep Lorana around, she might bring some fun to Sookie and Bill. Last night we finally got a straight from the book moment, where Rev. Newlin finally showed his true colors to his wife as well as Sookie, locking her in the basement. This of course gives, Sister Sara encouragement to finally sleep with Stupid Hot! We were robbed, they didn’t show it. Damn.
Pam shows up at Marlotte’s and informed him he would be returning to v-juice retail. Poor Lafayette, you need a vacay hun! Get thee to the Bahamas A.S.A.P. Finally, Maryann and Daphne showed their true colors a little too late for Sam’s sake, but oh well. Full on porno moment hits Bon Temps, everybody and their cousin was having sex in the yard at Sookie’s house. And for some reason, rather than turning and running Tara and Eggs stood there watching until they themselves were bewitched and get in on the action.
Overall the episode was a definite an improvement from last week. I would give the episode an 8.5/10 if I were rating it. Thoughts, groans, moans?
I will leave you guys with these questions for next week’s episode:
Once again what does Maryann want with Sam? Or the town in general?
Does Eric really think Lorana will take Bill from Sookie? Will she be able to?
What’s going to happen when Jason realizes his new friends have his sister locked in the basement?
Why does Eric want Lafayette to sell v?
How many newborns will be born in Bon Temps next season?
How old is Hoyt?
This is an extended trailer shown at Comic Con this weekend. Enjoy!

More Eric, more Eric, more Eric! Like right now!
Hoyt and Jessica were my favorite moments in this episode. They were so cute:)
Tara and Eggs were a bit stupid, but I suppose the sight of a full blown orgy in your back yard would be shocking. Lol.
I think Eric wants Lafayette to get back in the biz, so that he can identify the users and apply his own special "rehab" to them. That would be so awesome to watch lol.
Ugh Daphne. Hate her, luring poor Sam to be sacrificed. And Andy was a total jerk. Poor Lafayette. Somebody needs to treat him with a day spa.
Who was in bed with Sookie in the promo? I saw blond hair
1I thought the episode was jam packed full of "Oh My" moments but also "Gah Not Again" moments.
Love the flashback of Bill and Lorana. Not much shocks me but the bloodbath bed scene and the Stackhouse yard twister marathon had me shocked.
I know I sound like a broken record, but this Maryann storyline.
I know it is starting to
get closer to the end but I just know the reasoning behind her existence is not going to be worth all these episodes of me scratching my head.
BOO on cutting out the Sara/Stupid bow chica bow wow scene. I wonder if the beginning of next week's episode will show a little?
Poor Lafayette.
Eric does not need to pay for blood...I agree. That Viking man is something to behold. Wowza.
Sookie, Sookie, Sookie. Girl. Please. You mean to tell me it has NEVER entered your mind reading mind that it is possible or an option for Bill the Vampire to turn you? Even after you know he has turned Jessica? Even after you know he was turned himself? It never occurred to you that you will grow old and he remains the same age?
Sheesh Sookie. Been sniffing glue to pass the time when Bill asleep? That can only be the explanation for her idiocy.
2You girl's crack me up, but yeah Maryann is getting on my nerves. And I'm not sure why they are portraying Sookie as such an idiot. I know I want more Eric and Lafayette, they are being underused this season imo.
Smile Like You Mean It!
3I think everyone is on the same page with the whole Maryann story. I do not understand why the writers wanted to drag this out all season without even giving you any information about what she could be.
4Sookie is starting to be my least favorite character on the show, her voice is getting on my nerves and I think I would be a better match for Bill
One thing I was surprised with was the Eggs story. What if he was kidnapped and mind wiped by Maryann. Then once her storyline is over (hopefully soon) he may come back to his self and stay there to be with Tara (she needs to have something in her life go right).
Looks they Jason may save Sookie and get the pastors girl in the process. With abs like that he could get anyone's wife!
Overall this season was not written as well as the first. There are way too many subplots and you just keep going back and forth each week not picking up very much info. I like for the show to build suspense but it also needs move along at a pace that makes the audience feel like they have learned something new each week, not just give then more and more questions.
I completely agree with you Whitfield. You can definitely tell this was a rush season to
return to the air quickly. I don't want to complain too loud, because HBO has a habit of keeping their series off the air for literally years at time. They should hire the writers for Dexter.
Smile Like You Mean It!
5LOVE LOVE LOVE Jessica and Hoyt! He goes all the way to Big D to see her because his jerk Mama turned off his cell phone.
Wow, I did not at all see Reverend Newlin locking them in the basement. Crazy!
And Sara and Jason have sex in a church? I was watching it and thinking, you are having sex in God's house?!?
Maryann, get the F out of this story. We are fed up with your shenanigans!
And it sure did look like Sookie was in bed with our favorite blonde viking vamp in an upcoming episode.
Love me some True Blood!!!
LaLa, thanks for your weekly breakdown. As I'm sure you can tell, we all love reading it!
6My main question is why would Eric, if he wants Sookie, put her in danger like that... and then keep Bill occupied so he cannot save her?! I don't think he purposely put her in danger but he had to know it was a possible outcome.
Now onto your Q's.
I think Eric wants Lafayette for the exact reason JulieJean stated.
I think Jason will kick some ass to save his sister, at least I hope so.
7There are some holes that can be explained logically on this show. I think Eric is fascinated by Sookie and feels like Bill is in the way of that. Why he has put her in danger is hard to say. Perhaps he thought she could reads minds of any danger before anything would happen to her.
Who knows, like I said I think there are many things that haven't been thought through on this show. Like, for example, the Maryann and Daphne storyline. Are they ever going to
explain why Daphne has those deep scratches in her back if she is now a follower of Maryann (who is the one who did that to her)? If the person doesn't die or heal from it they are forever
indebted to Maryann?
I can't wait to see Jason kick some weasel preacher butt.
I am really curious about Sam though, I have to admit. I think he is hot and want him to put a hurt on Maryann. Please don't let the person to do it be Tara.
8*can't be explained
9I agree with the Daphne stuff... I imagine she became her follower once she 'died' from the infection. But who knows, hopefully they will fill us in.
