S1 EP3: Mine

Air Date: September 21, 2008
PLOT:
At Bill’s house, Sookie is standing on the porch. A woman vampire (Diane) and a male vampire (Malcolm) are standing in the doorway, showing their fangs and snarling at Sookie. There's a bald, tattooed vampire (Liam) standing behind Sookie doing the same thing.

Speaking slowly, Malcolm says that she ought to come inside. She surprises them by asking if they're trying to glamour her. When he admits they are, she tells them it doesn't work on her. They're taken aback that she notices and Liam asks why not. She shrugs, saying that she doesn’t know, it just doesn’t and than asks if Bill is available. From inside, Bill tells them to let her in. Diane and Malcolm block Sookie's way and stare at her menacingly. Again, Bill tells them to let her in. They back away, cursing him under their breath.

Diane and Malcolm draw apart, leaving a passageway between them for Sookie to enter the house. Sookie slowly walks by them and into the living room. There's a young man (Jerry), seated on one of the sofas and a woman (Janella), laying on the other sofa. Bill is sitting in a shadowed corner facing Sookie. The other three vampires follow Sookie into the room. She asks if they will excuse her and Bill, that they have some business to attend to.

Diane stands beside Sookie and asks Bill where he found her. Liam thinks she smells sweet, with Malcolm calling Bill out for telling them how he is living mainly on synthetic blood. Dianne says Sookie smells like a virgin, and virgins have the best tasting blood. After babies Liam adds. Fast as lightning, Liam grabs Sookie and draws her close to him. Liam pushes Sookie's head to one side, exposing her neck and Diane draws near to Sookie's throat, Bill quickly gets up out of the chair. He tells them to stop, “Sookie is mine!”

Malcolm interjects, stating that if she’s Bills’, he certainly doesn’t want to do anything to disturb their little arrangement. That's why he always brings Jerry with him. As Malcolm and Diane sit down on the sofa near Jerry, Janella gets up and crosses over to Liam. Diane laughs as Sookie turns her head. “She's innocent.” Bill declares again the Sookie is his. Diane wants to know why she not taking care of her master. He’s hungry. Then Malcolm offers Jerry to Bill. Jerry gets up and crosses over to the opposite sofa and sits down in front of Bill. Jerry bends his head and exposes his neck for Bill. Sookie can hear his thoughts, encouraging Bill to bite him and get infected with Hep D.

Suddenly she tells him to stop, Jerry has Hep D. The room is suddenly quiet as everyone looks at Sookie. Jerry lunges at Sookie, shoving her down on the table and choking her. In his thoughts he curses the vampires for his losing his lover. Suddenly, Bill grabs Jerry's arm, forcing him away from Sookie. With one swift movement, Bill breaks Jerry's arm and propels him across the room back to the sofa. Malcolm quickly crosses over to Jerry as Bill kneels over Sookie and gently cradles her head with his hands.

Malcolm is clearly up set and decides that they have long ride back to Monroe, and they’ll all want to have a little talk with Jerry ... when he wakes up. Malcolm grabs Jerry and throws him over his shoulder. As Liam and Malcolm start to leave, Diane protests, asking if anyone is the slightest bit interested in how Sookie knew about Jerry. Bill looks into Sookie’s eye and assures her that she can’t speak yet. Diane quickly moves over to Sookie and stares into her face, certain she can make Sookie talk. Bill reminds Diane once more that Sooke is his. She gives up and the vampires clear out, Jerry slung over Malcolm's shoulder and Janella walking with Liam.

Bill gently raises Sookie into a sitting position. She quickly turns her away from him. Bill slowly gets up and walks across the room. He apologizes that she had to witness that and her visit was unexpected. Interested, she asks about Hep D. He recounts that Hepatitis D is the only blood-borne pathogen to which vampires are susceptible. Malcolm must be furious. She probes that she’s never heard of it and Bill says it has been kept out of the media. She asks that it makes them sick for a year? He confesses no, just makes them weak for about a month or so. The biggest danger to vampires from hep D is being captured and staked during that time. Sookie understand that they don’t want their weaknesses to be public knowledge. She than becomes irate, wanting to know what he meant by, "Sookie is mine?!” Bill supplies the he was communicating to the others that she is his human, and therefore he is the only one who could feed on her.

Bolting from the table, she charges up to him and expresses that he most certainly cannot feed on her. Trying to be reasonable, Bill implores that he of course he can’t and had they known that, they'd have considered her fair game, and he wouldn't have been able to stop them from attacking. It'd be three against one, and Malcolm is much older than he is and quite strong. In slight shock, Sookie asks that he and Diane dated? He admits that they had relations once, just after she was made a vampire, back in the late 1930s. Grossed out, Sookie contends that they are all so mean. Bill necessitates that those vampires are evil and that they share a nest. When vampires live in nests they become more cruel, more vicious, and become laws unto themselves. Whereas vampires such as him, who live alone, are much more likely to hang onto some semblance of their former humanity.

Resolute to depart as soon as possible, Sookie hands him the info for two electrical contractors. They're willing to come out at night. She has to go and Bill asks if he could kiss her goodnight. Repulsed by everything, she declines stating that she couldn't stand it after them. Bill stares after her as she leaves the house.

At Merlotte’s, Sam and Tara are cleaning up after hours. Sam carries a case of beer to the refrigerator behind the bar and starts stocking it. Tara stands at the bar cleaning glasses. He asks why she’s still there and she says because she doesn’t want to go home. Dawn passes by, telling everyone goodnight. Tara asks for a beer and Sam hands her one, as long as she’s not on the clock. He goes back to stocking the refrigerator. She wonders if Sookie is getting serious about Bill and Sam thinks that she’s getting to know him. And once she does, won’t be getting too serious about him. Tara says Bills is getting pretty damn serious about her. Sam quickly looks over at Tara. She tells him about Bill stopping by last night. Sam inquires how Miss Stackhouse seemed to feel about a vampire being in her house, interested in her granddaughter. Tara surmises that she seemed like she was in seventh heaven. Sam sighs and then returns his attention to stocking the refrigerator. She tells him he's only got himself to blame for not initiating a romantic relationship with Sookie.

Sam asks Tara why she never started anything with Jason. She just rolls her eye, quipping that she is comfortable with him being right where he is, which is unattainable and changes the subject back to Sam. He tells her that he kind of did let Sookie know for the first time night before last, not even a minute before that vampire walked through the front door. Tara suggests that he get in there right now while he’s still got a shot. They each take a drink of their beers. Sam thinks for a minute and then looks back at her. When Sam tells her that Sookie told him that she can't hear Bill's thoughts and he said that she could listen to his (Sams) thoughts whenever she wanted to. Tara exclaims that Sookie doesn't want to listen to any body's thoughts. She wants to not hear them. But that requires constant work on her part. And now she's met somebody and she can drop all that effort and just relax. She tells Sam that, unfortunately, he doesn't stand a chance. He remarks that she can go home anytime she wants.

Dawn arrives home after work. She laughs, skipping into the house thinking of Jason, tied to the headboard of the bed. Arriving at the bedroom, she flips the light on, her smile fading as she stares at the empty bed. Suddenly, someone attacks her from behind and wraps an arm around her neck. A masked man grabs her and growls at her. She starts to freak out as he paws at her, but then she gets into it when she thinks it's a vampire. The attacker throws Dawn on the bed and looms over her. Dawn is struggling and the fear has returned. Dawn tries to rise up but the attacker pushes her back down. He says he just drained the guy she left tied up and thanks her for it, while he gropes her some more. Dawn starts screaming again and renews her frantic struggle. Dawn desperately reaches for something on the nightstand. While her back is turned, the attacker rips his hood off, revealing that it’s Jason. He flips her back around. Dawn screams and then grows quiet as she sees his face. Jason laughs, raises up and does a few dance moves. Slapping his face, Dawn begins to beat him with her fists, screaming that wasn’t funny. All Jason can do is laugh. He grabs her and holds on until she stops hitting him. Telling her to think of it as foreplay. Dawn slaps his face twice and he eggs her on. He roars, she starts laughing, then they fall back onto the bed.

Sookie drives home, and parks. She stares at nothing for a minute. Freaked out and sad, she takes a deep breath and wipes the tears from her eyes. Once composed, she begins to start for the porch. She glances down to put her keys away and is startled when she looks up and finds Bill standing in front of her. She tersely cautions him on how many times she has told him not to do that! He imparts that it wasn’t intentional and that he just got there. He wanted to make sure she was safe as he descends the porch steps. He and Sookie stare at each other in silence. All this time, she is trying to read him. Again, she question why she can’t hear his thoughts and if he even has any thoughts. Almost adverse, he says that he has thoughts, many lifetimes of thoughts. She again wants to know why she can’t hear them. He guesses it's because he doesn't have brainwaves, he is dead. She insists that he is not because he’s standing right in front of her. He enlightens her that he has no heartbeat and no need to breathe. There are no electrical impulses in his body and what animates her no longer animates him. She asks what does animate him and how does he digest blood, if nothing works. He talks about the magic that keeps him alive. She scoffs that she may look naive, but is not and he needs to remember that.

He begins to ascertain that she thinks it's not magic that keeps her alive? Just because she understands the mechanics of how something works doesn't make it any less of a miracle, which is just another word for magic. We're all kept alive by magic and his is just a little different from hers. Sookie says they should stop seeing each other and turns to run up the steps. When Bill asks why, she says because he doesn’t breathe! He doesn't have any electrical whatever-it-is! His friends would like nothing more than to rip her out! And because vampires killed that preacher from the Fellowship of the Sun church and his wife and baby! She demands that he look her in the eye and tell her they didn't do it! He points out that humans’ have killed millions upon millions in senseless wars and he will not hold her responsible for that.

She counters that the night before last, she had to bury her bloody clothes because she didn't want her grandmother to find out she was almost killed. And tonight, she was almost killed again! Asking once more, “Why on earth would I continue seeing you?” Ominous, he walks up the steps and stands facing her. “Because you will never find a human man you can be yourself with.” She shakes her head and turns to go into the house. He calls her name and she pushes him away. She asks him not to touch her and to just go, as she enters the house and closes the door. He stands on the porch for a minute and than leaves, determined.

At Sam’s trailer, Tara is sitting on Sam's front porch. Sam exits the trailer and hands Tara a drink. She does not want to go home to her passed-out drunk mother. They bond over booze. She asks him why he doesn't have a girlfriend. Sam says he has a hard time opening up. Tara starts quizzing him about sex and they trade "how long it's been" stories. Sam goes back into the trailer, leaving Tara alone with her thoughts. She lets her hair down and glances over at the door to the trailer. A minute later, she's opening that door and going inside and matter-of-factly intimate that they have sex. Sam says no, that it's a terrible idea. She says she’s not looking for a boyfriend, especially one who could fire her. Tara takes her drink from Sam and then stretches out on the sofa. Then she lays it out that this would strictly be a one-time deal and they never even have to mention it again. He refuses again. But he thinks about it, asking if she’ll really be able to forget about it and not let it affect their working relationship. Tara states that she’s had to do much harder things than that in her life. He tells her if things got weird he'd have to let her go. Tara is okay with that. Sam puts his drink down and joins Tara on the sofa.

At Dawn’s house, Jason and Dawn are having sex. At one point, Jason looks down at her and imagines seeing the bald, tattooed vampire (Liam) in her place. He closes his eyes but can't get the picture out of his head. Jason turns away and lays down, no longer interested in sex. The mood is killed. He tells Dawn he hates that she had sex with a vampire. She asks how exactly is that any of his business. He again maintains that vampires are freaks and wants to know what’s wrong with her, letting something nasty like that even touch her. She challenges that it was the best sex she ever had. He thought that he was the best she ever had. Until he stopped calling, she says that’s when she met the vampire. Jason demands to know what he looked like. Laughing she says the vampire he had a lot of hair and met him in Shreveport at the vampire bar. Jason wonders if she just let him bite her. She fires back, “Yeah, and I'm not ashamed of that.” But he thinks she should be. She says it was the best sex she ever had. Jason's clearly jealous. He starts to think that's who she was expecting tonight when he fake-attacked her. Feeling him up a little she coos that she knew all along it was him (Jason). He snaps that she’s lying and would immediately sleep with that vampire if he showed up. With that, Dawn rolls over and starts getting dressed, declaring that this is getting boring and it time for him to leave. He just laughs that he isn’t going anywhere. As she finishes pulling her clothes on, all the while berating him for losing form and he doesn’t need to have a freaking meltdown. He shouts to her as she stalks into the hall to get a cigarette. She returns to the bedroom with a gun and points it directly at him. He just starts laughing. Dawn is not kidding. He continues to laugh as he pulls out some dental floss and starts flossing his teeth. Dawn says the he doesn’t own her and she wants him out of her house. He stands his ground that he’s not going anywhere. “Oh, yes, you are.” As she fires the gun at the floor. Jason is startled and starts fumbling around with the blanket, trying to get up out of the bed. Gun raised and pointed toward Jason, Dawn starts walking toward the bed. She swears that he is obnoxious and full of himself and dumber than a box of hair and now he can't even get it up? So there's no reason why she should be seeing him anymore. Trying to get his clothes, he calls her crazy and he can bet she is. Again, she shouts for him to leave. He’s trying to get his pants and she doesn’t feel like waiting. She fires the gun at the floor again. Now she is screaming for him to get out as he runs from the house. Dawn comes running out after him and throws the rest of his clothes at him. Jason rushes back up to the porch as she goes back into the house. Calling her all kinds of names, Jason starts to leave when the next door neighbor comes out to see what all the noise is about. He shouts that her neighbor's a crazy bitch! The neighbor goes back into the house and Jason gets into his truck, cursing vampires.

At home, Bill is sitting in the living room reading a book. There are numerous kerosene lanterns lit and casting a soft glow on the room. Suddenly, feeling a presence, Bill bolts up and turns around, fangs bared. It's Sookie, in her nightgown. She confesses awkwardly that she has never been with a man intimately, for all the reasons she told him about. But she feels things when she’s with him that make her think and ... she knows this could be a huge mistake, one she will regret forever ... but it feels like he’s the one that she supposed to... do it with. And she is really nervous about that ... and frankly scared to death of him. So can they just get it out of the way already so she can relax and get a good night's sleep? Bill draws close to kiss Sookie and she asks that he not bite her. They slowly begin to kiss each. Bill gently slips Sookie's nightgown off. As their passion begins to build the scene shifts to Sookie in her own bed, dreaming. Slowly she wakes up and her eyes wander over to her cat, Tina, who is purring as she watches Sookie. Suddenly wide awake, she removes her hand from under the blanket.

In Sam's house trailer, a dog barks. Tara lays in the bed next to Sam, who is sleeping. She raises up and looks at him as he moans and growls in his sleep.

Going home, Jason drives up and goes inside his house. After turning on the light, he tosses his clothes and keys down and then gets a beer from the refrigerator. He sits down and uses the remote to turn on the television. The first program is an old black and white horror classic and Basil Rathbone is staking a woman vampire. He changes channels and the next program is a talk show. There are three people seated and talking to each other, the late Reverend Newlin's son, a man in a white suit, a big-haired blond with a lot of make-up. He switches channels again. This program is on bats. Fed up, he turns off the tv.

In Monroe at the home of vampires. Malcolm, Diane and Liam in are in the living room. There's a few lamps on and many lit candles scattered throughout on the tables and their coffins. Malcolm is bemoaning his misery about Jerry while Diane tries to cheer him up. With Liam’s instigation, they decide to raid a frat house at the state college. Someone knocks on the door. With lightning speed Malcolm gets up and opens the door. Bill silently walks in as Malcolm states that it’s everyone's favorite buzz-kill. Diane says ‘Hi” as Liam offers Bill a drink, which is declined. Diane carnally implies if he is hungry for something else and that she remembers him having a very sizable ... appetite. Enraged, Bill throws Diane across the room! Everyone's fangs come out as she recovers and strides back to Bill. Bill than warns them to stay away from him and Sookie from now on. Malcolm, walking through the room says that he is Bill’s elder and Bill has no authority there. Bill than suggests that there are higher authorities, Malcolm admits that he’s afraid of Eric. Bill advises authorities higher than Eric. Uncaring, Malcolm says that she (unnamed female vampire who outranks Eric) can speak to me and Diane is with him on this. Bill asserts that they are not doing anything to help their cause. All three are opposed to this. Diane says that not everyone wants to dress up and play human and Liam thinks it’s b.s. that vamps would want to live off that Japanese stuff they call blood, as if they could. Justifiably, Bill says they have to moderate their behavior now that they are out in the open. Malcolm considers that not everybody thinks it was such a great idea. And not everybody intends to tow the party line. Then Bill looks from the vampires and asks, ‘Where's Jerry?’. Sighing, Malcolm, sarcastically states that they left him on the side of I-20. Well, most of him, anyway. Liam volunteers that Janella felt so bad about what Jerry did, she made the ultimate sacrifice. Turning, Bill walks to another room. There he sees Janella, hanging upside down, her throat slashed with blood dripping into a bucket. Disgusted, Bill turns back to the group and tells them they make him sick. Diane counters that he used to be fun and is this all on account of that little blond breather? (meaning Sookie) Before leaving Bill assures them that if they insist on flaunting their ways in front of mortals, there will be consequences. He than leaves as Malcolm closes the door.

Sam wakes up alone. It’s early morning and the bed beside him is empty. He looks around but doesn't see Tara anywhere.

At her home, Tara drives up to her house and parks her car. She slips through the front door but doesn't make it all the way in, when her mother hits her over the head with a big heavy Bible. Tara cries out in pain and holding her head, stumbles across the room. Her drunk mother scolds her for staying out all night. Tara insults her mom and then feels bad, moving in to help her off the floor. As Tara is helping her mother up, Lettie Mae grabs a liquor bottle and bashes it against the side of Tara's head. Tara tells her mother that she may have carried and nursed her, but now she is now obviously set on killing her. And if she is forced to choose between her mother and her; her mother loses. Tara grabs her keys and starts for the door when her mother tells her come back and help her. Crying, Tara tell her mother she is on her own and leaves.

At Gran’s house, it’s early morning and Sookie is mowing the lawn, taking her frustrations out on the grass . Gran is standing on the edge of the lawn, calling to her. Sookie hears Gran calling to her. She stops the mower and looks over at her grandmother. Gran says that she is going faint out here in this heat. Handing Sookie some lemonade, Gran looks at the pile of bags filed with leaves and asks Sookie what has gotten into her. Shaking her head a bit, Sookie says she just need to stay busy right now. Sensing something else, Gran asks her is she is concerned about the vampire and has he done something untoward. Sookie stumbles a bit trying to decide between what her mind, body, and heart are telling her to do. Gran says that’s a dilemma and for her to come inside for something to eat if she is going to be out working like a horse. Sookie almost refuses, but Gran makes it clear that it wasn’t a question. She looks at Gran and then follows her into the house. Back by an old tree, a silent collie stands and watches. After Sookie and Gran go into the house, the dogs races away.

At Lafayette's house, someone is banging on his front door. Lafayette parts the blinds and sees that it's Tara. He unlocks the door and lets her in. She enters, half crying that her mother hit her with a liquor bottle and head is bleeding. He shushes her because he has a guest. Tara wonders if she’s going to need stitches. Lafayette looks at her head and says no, but for her to put some peroxide on that, then take two Vicodin with a big glass of red wine and smoke some ganja. So by the time she wakes up, all healed, he says as he hands her some pills. Tara asks if she can stay with him for a while and starts to bewail about everything she has done for her mother (basically crying over spilt milk). Lafayette passes her a joint as his guest enters the living room. As he tucks in his shirt, he notices Tara. The man starts to leave, but Lafayette stops him pointing at the pot Tara is smoking. The man takes a hit and then smiles at Lafayette and leaves the house. Tara asks who that was and Lafayette says that was a state senator. She is a bit thrown, wondering if her cousin is a prostitute now. He leans back and states he’s an entrepreneur. She gives him a disbelieving look. He asks if he’s supposed to be satisfied being a short-order cook and working on the road crew, which is basically one step from the chain gang. He’s got a good body that’s his ticket out and how else is he going get ahead in this podunk town. Tara just laughs a bit, asking what’s wrong with them: he’s a state-senator fucking prostitute and she’s a bartender in a redneck bar who sleeps with her boss that is in love with her best friend. He hands her back the weed, gets up to walk away, before turning around. Confused, he asks, ‘You slept with Sam?’ Without so much as admitting it, she further tells him that Sam barks in his sleep. Lafayette agrees that’s messed up.

On his front porch, Sam is reading the paper. A collie barks and comes running up to him. He pets the dog, while reading and discovers that Marthaville is getting a Starbucks. He wonders out loud if he should just break down and get a cappuccino machine. The dog starts whimpering. Sam starts petting him again and muses that he really wishes that Buffy or Blade or any one of those bad-ass vampire killers would come to take care of Bill. Sam starts laughing to the dog that it doesn't care about his problems at all and it just wants to play. Sam grabs a ball and gets down off the steps. The dog starts barking and getting excited. Sam throws the ball and the dog takes off after it. Sam runs a few steps and watches the dog speed away.

In Gran's kitchen, Gran is cooking breakfast while Sookie sits at the table, also reading in the paper that Marthaville is getting a Starbucks. She excitedly tells Gran, who can not see why anybody would spend $3 on a cup of coffee with too much milk. Sookie quotes Arlene that people are less calcium-deficient than they used to be because of all the fancy coffee they drink nowadays. Understanding now, Gran sets her plate down on the table and then sits down to join Sookie for breakfast. She asks her Gran if she should keep seeing Bill. Gran can’t tell her that, but she does think that Bill is a smart, handsome and very polite young man, but of course he's going show his best side to her. Sookie says he scares her. Not that he'd hurt her, but that she doesn't know what he's thinking. Gran says that wouldn't be such a bad thing for Sookie with her... ability. Sookie gets up and takes her plate to the sink. Gran sighs and thinks about something; seeming to make a decision. She confides that her late husband used to know things. Sookie straightens up over the sink with her back to Gran. ‘What things?’, without turning around. Going on, Grans let’s on that he knew personal things that people never would have told anybody about. Turning to face Gran, Sookie vents this is exactly it and if she doesn’t stop herself, she will hear everybody's deepest, darkest secrets and that's just too much information. Grans finishes that her husband once stopped Sookie’s Great-Uncle Francis from committing suicide and thinks there is a purpose for everything that God creates, whether it's a unique ability or a cup of overpriced coffee with too much milk ... or a vampire. God will reveal that purpose when the time is right. Sookie walks over, kisses Gran on the cheek and then starts going up the back stairs to the second floor. She stops mid-stride, and goes back down to the kitchen. She thought her great-uncle did kill himself, with a shotgun. Gran smile off the fact, saying he did, but that was years later.

At Lafayette’s house, someone is knocking at the door. Cursing, he opens the door and finds Jason standing there. Jason says he needs help and Lafayette’s so glad he finally recognized that truth. He lets Jason in and turns on some music, then sits next to Jason on his sofa. Jason asks him if he has any Viagra. Lafayette says he doesn't have the drug because it's legal and you can buy it in the drugstore. But he does have something that would have the same effect, only better. It's very expensive and will be six hundred a quarter of an ounce. Jason snaps, wanting to know what in the hell is worth that kind of money. Lafayette opens up a small concealed refrigerator and gets out of vial of blood. He sits back down next to Jason, and holds up the vial. Jason looks on, amazed asking when he did start dealing V. Lafayette states when he realized there was a market for it and doesn’t want this getting out. Vamps don't take kindly to the juice dispenser. Jason asks where he got it and Lafayette divulges that he has an arrangement with a certain life-challenged individual who appreciates his multi-faceted talents. Jason is flustered, questioning is there anybody who isn't sleeping vampires these days. Lafayette inquires if Jason wants to have the best sex he has ever had for both him and your lady friend? Jason eagerly agrees as Lafayette tells him to take one, maybe two drops of this and no more. Any more and things might get a little intense, and not in a good way. Jason asks if he can just bring the money later and starts to get up to leave, but Lafayette pulls him back down and tells him there’s nothing free in his world. Jason asks again if he can pay him later and Lafayette gets up, locking the door. Turning, he tells Jason that he doesn’t have a layaway program and not interested in instituting one. Jason, now desperate pleads with him to let him pay this afternoon. A few minutes late, Lafayette and Jason are in another room. Jason has removed all of his clothes except his underwear and watch. He's standing in front of a video camera that Lafayette has placed on a tripod. Jason, stands rigid and says he hates video cameras. Lafayette expresses that Jason could make a lot of money if he had his own website and guys all over this world would pay good money just to watch him. Jason immediately realizes what Lafayette is implying and remarks that all he had to do was dance! Lafayette takes a remote out, presses it and the music starts. Dance, he tells Jason. As he starts, Jason wants to know is anybody going see this who knows him. Lafayette shrugs, ‘Probably. There's a lot of pervs in this town.’ Upset, Jason picks up his clothes as Lafayette picks up a mask and holds it out. Does he want the V or not? Relenting, Jason takes it and he puts on the mask, Tara comes up behind a curtain to see what’s going on. Jason starts dancing as Lafayette starts enjoying the show, a little too much. Crossed between shocked and impressed, Tara watches from the doorway.

At Bill’s house, Sookie walks up the steps to the porch and looks through a window. She looks at the inside and everything is still and quiet. She sits down on the steps and looks around. The trees and sky shimmer and take on a brighter colors. As Sookie looks around she becomes aroused and then her cell phone rings. It’s Sam and he needs a favor. He just needs her to run by Dawn's and wake her up. She probably just overslept.

Sookie agrees and drives over to Dawn's house and starts knocking on the door. After calling out to her friend and getting no response, Sookie opens the screen and knocks on the inner door. Not getting an answer, Sookie tries the door handle and finds it unlocked. Walking cautiously through the house, she calls Dawn again. She walks on through to the bedroom. The alarm is going off and it looks like there's been a struggle. Dawn is laying on the bed, eyes open. Something is not right. Sookie whispers her name a few more times but then suddenly realizes that Dawn is no longer alive. Then Sookie screams.
