Everyone stops and stares at Sookie and she hears every ones thoughts towards her. Tara and Lafayette take Sookie upstairs to get her away from everyone. They console her and tell her that everything she is feeling is normal and not to worry about all the people in the house, Lafayette also give Sookie a valium just in case she needs to relax later.

Angry and upset of being accused of being the one who killed his Gran, Jason pushes Andy so hard he flies into the door of Jason's truck and falls to the ground. The people inside the house witness this and watch Jason speed off.

Tara kicks everyone out of the house so as to give Sookie the peace and quiet that she needs to rest then she and Lafayette begin to clean up after everything. Bill awakes from his slumber early awaiting the nightfall so he can make sure Sookie is ok after having a dream. He bolts across from his house to Sookie's only to find her well and asleep. Although relieved that she is ok, he stands guard outside with a bottle of True Blood to make sure nothing happens to her while she sleeps.

The next morning is Gran's funeral. Being shaken up to see that her Uncle Bartlett, who's presence is most unwelcome, she attempts to read her eulogy. As she starts, she is distracted by all of the town's people's nasty and unkind thoughts of her and her family, angry and upset she screams to all to shut the F... up then runs off into the cemetery. As the priest asks if there is anyone else who would like to speak Lettie Mae, Tara's mother, walks up to do so unable to be stopped by Tara. After doing so, she begs Tara for money for an exorcism that she herself believes she needs.

She asks to be alone and Sam leaves walking down the drive bumping into Tara which then leads to them leaving together to where Tara is currently staying. Distraught and crying, Sookie finishes off Gran's pecan pie. Afterwards, she changes into a nightgown and awaits for dusk. She runs towards Bill's house, as he meets her they embrace in a kiss and he carries her inside. Next to a romantic setting by the fireplace, Sookie makes love for the first time to Bill and asks him to bite her.
