Sookie's attempt to rescue Bill has unforseen consequences. Meanwhile, Jason seeks the truth about Crystal. Sam must step in when Tommy gets involved in a dog fighting ring, all thanks to Melinda and Joe Lee's quest for money. Eric figures out how to get the information he wants from Sophie-Anne. Debbie plans to get even with Alcide while Russell ignores the Magister.
This episode, much like last, ramped up the action and plot developments. We left off at the end of the last episode with Lorena, Bill's sire, feeding on Sookie as a powerless Bill watched. After a brief feeding, Bill gets free and saves Sookie, allowing her to kill Lorena, permanently. Alcide and Tara soon showed up to help get Sookie and Bill away from Russell's mansion. Then Debbie threatens to kill Alcide, and Tara, still high on v from Franklin, tackles her.
Back in Bon Temps, Sam saves Tommy and all the other dogs from the dog fight. He offers Tommy the chance to leave his family and after some thought, Sam and Tommy leave to return to Merlotte's, finally leaving their parents behind.
Jason still searches for answers to who and what Crystal is. The meth dealer that Jason caught a few episodes ago gives Jason a few answers – he is her cousin. He looked like he was about to say that her “fiance”is actually her brother but stopped short of actually saying it. We don't learn anything else new about her, and frankly it's getting a bit annoying. We'll learn more about her soon.
Back to Tara, Alcide, Sookie and Bill. Sookie lets Bill feed from her to keep him from dying. He's starving, and has lost a lot of blood. He goes all evil vamp and feeds on her to the point of almost death. Tara throws Bill out of the truck into the sunlight, and they drive off to bring Sookie to the hospital. Sookie almost dies, as she apparently has no blood type (curious) and is in a coma. Apparently she's never really been sick before, ans has never been in a hospital (she wasn't even born in one). Sookie arrives in what can only be assumed to be Heaven, and is warned by a woman to beware of Bill, and that he will take her “light”. Bill saver her life by feeding her his blood.
Eric finds out from Sophie Ann's human, Hadley (Sookie's cousin) who or what Sookie is. Russell and Sophie Ann are married by the magister before Russell kills the magister.
Overall, we learn a lot in this episode – Bill may not be what he appears to be, Sookie is something that Eric “didn't expect”, and Cooter, Lorena, and the magister are all dead. The plot is moving along at a much faster pace now, and we're learning more and more each episode. It seems that Sookie is no longer a fan of Bill, so we'll see where that goes. Russell's plan seems to finally be coming to a head, as he is now the King of both Louisiana and Mississippi. The action has ramped up, but the sex is lacking in these last few episodes, but I guess we can't have it all.
The last episode was particularly emotional, with Sookie close to death and in Heaven. I didn't cry, but I can totally understand why other people might have cried when Sookie was close to death. Thankfully she lived. Also thankfully, Lorena is dead. I hated that b&^%$.
4 out of 5 stars
