S1 Ep 12: You'll Be the Death of Me

AIR DATE: November 23, 2008
PLOT:
Jason sits in jail, telling Rene about everyone that will get his possessions. Hoyt will get his ‘lucky’ leather jacket. Sookie will get all of his money. And Rene gets his truck. Rene says he’s giving it back once Jason gets out. Jason hopelessly replies that they will never let him out after what he’s done. Rene says it ain't like he killed a bunch of innocent women and that if he hadn't done it, it was just a matter of time. He calls the women that were killed, fangbangers. Jason angrily objects to his grandmother as a "fangbanger." Sookie charges her way back to see Jason, telling him she wishes she'd gotten there sooner before he confessed to something he didn't do. She tells him to shut up because she's close to finding out who the real killer is. Rene in thought wonders if she knows all this, how come she hasn't gone to the cops and gotten her brother out of that cell? She snaps back that she has tried that and so far the cops have done didly squat to protect her and her family. She tells Jason about Drew Marshall and how he killed his sister Cindy. She hears Rene wonder why she just doesn't go to the cops and she tells him she doesn't even know what he looks like, but she's been inside his head. Not wanting to hear anymore, Jason calls for Andy Bellefleur to remove her. As she is being hustled out, she asks Andy if she got the fax of Drew Marshall. He says he knows nothing about a fax, and to why bother since he's got the real killer. She tells Andy he's a poor excuse for a cop and a human being and it's just a matter of time before everyone knows it.

Tara wakes up in a plush bed and sees a robe laid out for her. As she is coming out to the terrace, a man sets out her breakfast and Maryann joins her. Tara is figuring out she's not just a social worker. She is something more. Tara feels completely lost that she didn’t just totaled her car, she totaled her whole life. Maryann sees Tara's situation as an opportunity, that maybe life has just cleared out all the things that weren't working for her. Now she’s got room to rebuild. Decide exactly what she wants her life to look like and make that happen. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, Tara makes an excuse to leave, but Maryann says her clothes are not dry yet and they both know she's got nowhere to go. She says she just wants to help.

Making Tara's bed, a manservant, picks up her ringing phone. It's Sam. He hangs up and puts it in his pockets as she finishes making the bed.

As Sam finishes leaving Tara a message Sookie comes into work, telling him she plans to hire a PI to find out who Drew Marshall is and goes out to start her prep.

Jason gets a visitor, Orry Dawson. He's there on behalf of the Fellowship of the Sun church. Orry says what Jason did can’t be officially condoned by the church. He took the lives of four women. Women who had tainted themselves and their race. But still human women. They do recognize that even thought his methods may have been flawed, his intentions were pure. That it was a service to his race and to Jesus. He should be proud of it. The church has started a fund for Jason's defense. In the meantime, the man slips him some church literature and calls him a "brave soldier."

At Maryann's mansion, Tara walks out to the pool and excitedly jumps in with a cannonball and begins swimming around. She comes inside to find an enormous spread of food laid out. She hears a guitar being played and finds a young, attractive black man on the couch. He introduces himself as “Eggs” but his real name is Benedict. He's staying there until he gets back on her feet. "So, collecting stray black people, that's some sort of hobby of hers?" Tara asks. He laughs, saying that Mary Ann was right about her. She is funny. Eggs also reveals that he was told she crashed her car with a gallon of whiskey in her lap. Chagrined, Tara sits and fesses that it was cheap vodka. But he is not judging, stating that when Maryann found him he was a lot worse off than Tara. He calls Maryann a "miracle worker." He starts playing his guitar again and Tara tries to relax.

Outside, Maryann vibrates, with the hog munching on grass. She sits in a chair moving in place at hyperspeed. There is truly more to her than meets the eye.

Back at Jason’s house, Rene switches the radio station and is really enjoying the truck. He drives off to Merlotte's. As she is serving customers in the bar, Sookie hears Andy loudly telling the story of Jason's confession, but Sheriff Dearborne immediately corrects him, saying that Jason didn't exactly confess. Bud excuses himself. Rosie, who sitting next to Andy offers to buy him a beer and show her appreciation. Andy is eating up the gratefulness.

Thoughts and murmurs become even louder as Sookie hears everyone looking at her, judging for her for Jason's actions and condemning the family. Rene comes in and takes a seat, sitting nearby, but she hears nothing. She rushes up to Sam, telling him maybe she shouldn’t have come into work and that she needs to get out of there and those thoughts out of her head. He offers to let her lay down in his trailer and she declines. She says that she’s just going to drive around and not even get out of the car. Sam tells her to go, that he will cover her table. She gives him a hug, thanking him for everything.

Outside, Sookie gets in her car but it won't start. She tries a few more times, giving up as she vents her frustrations. Rene walks up, surprising her and asks if everything's OK. He offers to take a look, but later confesses he doesn't know much about cars. He offers to give her a ride home and when she says she can't be alone, will stay with her until Sam gets off work. Terry drives up, telling Sookie that he told Andy he's known killers and Jason ain't one. "No one ever listens to me, but they should," Terry says. As Rene closes Sookie's hood he glances at the cut wires.

Rene gives Sookie a ride and when he asks her if she can really hear what he's thinking, she hears him thinking that he should think about nothing. She tells him not to bother, you always eventually think of something. She tells him it's weird, but his thoughts don't have an accent. He says it must be hard living with her gift and she comments that you have no idea how sick and twisted some people are. She tells Rene that Jason is all she's got left, she's lost everyone. He hands her a tissue as she begins to cry. Rene says he's lost people too. It doesn't get easier, but you find ways to cope.

In a living room, Lisa and Coby are watching a tape of the crazy vampire having bondage sex with Maudette. Arlene walks in, stopping the tape, demands to know where they found this. Coby doesn’t answer as Lisa admits that it's Rene's and they found it in the garage. Arlene orders them to their rooms as she looks through the box of videos and finds a cassette on Cajun dialect for actors. She is utterly stunned.

As Sookie arrives home, she offers Rene some iced tea. As she goes into the kitchen, Rene looks around the house, noticing the rifle leaning against the fire place.

Lafayette busses tables and curses the half eaten food that he is throwing away. He tosses Rene's work vest to Sam that was left behind. Sam holds the garment and takes a sniff of it. He flashes to when he rolled around sniffing Dawn's sheets after she was murdered. Immediately, he recognizes the scent. Dropping the vest, Sam runs outside and asks Terry where Sookie is. He tells him she left with Rene about 23 minutes ago.

At her house, Sookie is preparing iced tea. As Rene stands in the doorway, watching, he fails to not think of nothing. Sookie than sees him thinking about Gran and how he came in to find her. After attacking Gran, he bursts into tears, saying she wasn't supposed to be there. Realizing that he is indeed the killer, she drops the pitcher of iced tea. Rene asks if she is alright. She tries to play it cool, telling Rene she's just jumpy these days and she’s going to get a mop. She calmly walks into the other room, looking back once. She picks up the gun, turning around, and aims it in his direction.

Rene advances a step and she pulls the trigger. Nothing happens. Holding up the shell casings, he tells her she's not going to shoot him. She tries again. Nothing. She hears him switch voices in his head, cursing, condemning her for sex with a vampire. Screaming, Sookie hauls off and bashes him in the head with the shotgun and he drops to the ground. She runs out of the house, tossing the rifle into the bushes as she heads for the cemetery through the woods. Rene gets up and goes after her. As she is running through trees, she has a vision of Drew finding out about the bite marks on Cindy's neck, belittling her for being a whore for vampires. She argues with him to leave and he attacks, strangling her with his belt. Sookie keeps running as Rene stops, screaming that he can feel her in his head. Sookie than sees Rene attacking Maudette, Dawn, and Amy as she slept next to Jason.

Sensing her terror and hearing her screams, Bill wakes up in resting place. He knows it’s daylight outside, but he has to do something because she is in trouble. Sam arrives at Sookie’s house and sees a belt, blood on the floor, and signs of a trouble. As he goes back out on the porch, he sniffs the air and takes off toward the woods for the cemetery. Bill unlocks the door of his resting place and goes out into the sunlight. It is like treading through fire. His skin immediately starts to burn as he walks.

Rene is running circles among the headstones, trying find where Sookie is hiding. Thinking to lure her out, he starts protesting that he didn't mean it. His thoughts begin list all the horrible things he's going to do to her. Sookie has taken refuge in an empty grave, trying not to make a sound. She than hears him assume that he must have lost her in the woods and should go back to check. Sookie cautiously turns to look over the edge, hoping he is gone. But he's standing right over her. Pulling her from the hole, he throws her against a gravestone, punching her in the face, and starts strangle to her. Bill, in extreme pain, still walks in the sunlight, all of his hair gone and his skin almost completely chared off. Sam, in dog form, comes running up and jumps on Rene, biting him in the neck. Rene throws the dog off and starts kicking it. He watches amazed as the dog, hurt, changes into Sam. He keeps kicking him, calling him a freak of nature. Bill, scorched nearby, can't make it to where Rene is still kicking Sam. He calls to Sookie as he falls down. She comes awake and grabs a nearby shovel. Sneaking up, she clobbers Rene on the back, sending him to the ground. Spitting out blood, he starts to get back up and grabs her ankle. Screaming again, she drives the shovel into his neck, almost completely severing his head.

Sam gets up behind her, dazed, but alright. Sookie, trying to catch her breath, sees a smoking body nearby and runs over. It’s Bill. His flesh is burnt black and he can barely move. With his last ounce of strength, he tells her he's sorry before collapsing. She cries over him as a naked Sam comes to help. Picking Bill up, they put him in the open grave and being covering him with dirt in an effort to save him.

Later at home, Sookie wakes up, her face black and blue. She finds Tara, Sam and Lafayette keeping visual over her. Sam says the hospital gave her pain meds and that she’s a little loopy. Tara begins to cry, saying that she would lose her stuff if anything ever happened to her. She says not to lose her stuff, that she is fine and asks them if Sam told how he saved her life. She explains how he turned into dog, but they thinks it’s the pain meds. She tells Sam to let people see the real him because there's nothing there not to love. "Right back at you," he says. Arlene comes in with an enormous bouquet of flowers. Seeing Sookie’s face, she burst into tears.

Sheriff Dearborne has just confirmed that Rene really did kill Amy as well as the others. He tells Andy the D.A. is dropping the charges. Andy is very upset, denying that it’s not true. But Bud tells him that it is and Rene nearly put Sookie in a body-bag as well. Bud tells Andy to let Jason go. Andy goes back to let Jason out, angry and cussing. Jason, who has been reading church literature all day wants a magazine. Andy unlocks the door as Jason asks if this is a joke. Andy barks out that it’s a fucking miracle.

Pacing, Arlene apologizes and pleads for forgiveness. She can't believe she didn't know. Sookie says no one did. Arlene professes that she brought him around her kids and slept in the bed every night with him and all that time, it was nothing but lies. Sookie says Rene kept that part of himself locked away in some dark corner of his mind. Arlene goes to Sookie, requesting that if she ever finds another man, she wants her to look inside his head and tell her everything that's in there. Sookie tries to let her know that it doesn’t work like that. Still, Arlene makes her promise to and than ask if Bill is going to be OK. Sookie begins to crumble, saying she doesn't think so, no, as Arlene tries to comfort her.

On the front porch, Lafayette says he’s going to head over to the bar. To make sure Terry's not p.t.s.d'ing all over his clam chowder, leaving Tara and Sam alone. Sam asks Tara where she's been, saying he left her five messages. She says she didn't get anything. She tells him she's glad he was there for Sookie. Tara says Sookie's right, he is a good guy and he deserves to get everything he wants, and so does she. Mary Ann pulls and Tara introduces them. But Sam already knows who Mary Ann is. Sam asks Mary Ann what she's doing there. She almost laughs, "Did you think I wasn't going to find you? You silly, silly dog," before leaving.

Arlene tells Sookie she should have known, because there were things he liked to do in bed that no normal man ever does. Jason comes in and hugs his sister tight. Seeing Sookie’s bruised face, he is furious, saying he can't believe he gave Rene his truck. When he says if Rene was still alive he'd kill him again, Arlene starts to cry again and leaves in a rush. He realizes too late that he shot his mouth off at the wrong time. Jason tells Sookie that he had a lot of time to think in jail. About how he's never done anything with his life but chasing women and booze. He says when he was in jail, he was saved and thinks the bad stuff happened for a reason. He just isn't sure what that is yet. He thinks he's meant to do something important with his life, and as soon as he figures out what it is, he's not going to screw it up. As he departs, he runs into the coffee table, declaring he’s OK.

At Merlotte's, Lafayette takes out the garbage in the back, complaining that the bags are all over the ground. As he is tossing it them in the dumpster, something unseen surges out of the trees, wigging him out. He jumps on top of the dumpster as it comes for him.

At lightning speed, something comes to Sookie's front door and rings the doorbell. She turns off the tv and gets up to open the door. She stands in shock as she sees that it's Bill. "You're alive," she says. "Well, technically, no." He says but he is healed and he has fed. He looks all better. She invites him in and they hug each other tight. Pulling back, he views her bruised face and starts to bite his wrist. She stops him. He insists that with out his blood it will take weeks for her to heal. She contends that she doesn’t care and that after everything she just needs to feel human right now. Bills says that he has failed her. She implies and is very grateful that he was willing to sacrifice himself to save her and states that her life is too short to be angry. They hold each other and kiss passionately.


Two weeks later

At Merlotte’s, that gang watches a news report that announces in the state of Vermont vampire marriage has been legalized. Arlene giddily taunts Sookie that maybe she and Bill will be able get married now. Back to being upset all over again Sam, interjects that he could throw them a party because it'd be cheap without food or drinks. Tara tells him he's about as subtle as a flying brick and starts quoting Maryann to him, which he couldn't care less to hear. Sam asks her if she's heard from Lafayette. She hasn't, but volunteers that this one time when Lafayette went to Marthaville for the night and ended up go-go dancin' in Palm Beach for like eight months.

Terry tries to smile for Arlene and sweetly tells her that people disappear all the time, but they're never really gone. The good parts stay put. She smiles back, telling him that she hopes he’s right about that. Then he tells her hair is "like a sunset after a bomb went off, pretty." Then he walks away, while Arlene is still enraptured.

Jason attends the Fellowship of the Sun church with Orry, where the preacher says they won't rest until they've brought God's light onto each and every "blood sucking abomination." The entire congregation starts chanting ‘Amen’ louder and louder as Jason gets more excited about it.

At the bar, deep in feeling sorry for himself Andy sits as he washes his sorrow with booze. Tara suggests that he head on home. He whines that his family used to own the entire town, even the land that the bar sits on. Sighing, she pours him one more drink and tells him that it’s his pity party. Drink up. Also that it's easier for her not to hate him, because that takes too much energy, and she’s saving hers for all the good stuff that’s coming her way.

Sookie serves Hoyt his food. He asks where Bill is and if they are going to celebrate. Blushing, she admits that they’re celebrating later. Hoyt says he'd marry a nice vampire girl if he could find one and asks if Bill knows any vampire girls his age.

At home, Bill plays the piano, waiting for Sookie. Suddenly, Jessica strolls in and plops down on the couch. She is followed by Eric and Pam. Bill demands to know what is going on and Eric replies that there are favors and there are... ‘favors’. Pam declares that Jessica is "extremely annoying." Bill is livid, repeating that they can't do this. They had a deal. Eric conveys that now the terms have changed. Jessica is his, unless he wants give him Sookie? Both have their fangs drawn as Eric affirms that it’s just a suggestion. Though a few nights with Jessica may change his mind. As Eric and Pam leave, they express in Swedish, O du ljuva frihet; meaning sweet freedom. Bill turns to Jessica, who has her fangs out as she asks who’s good to eat around here.

Back at Merlotte’s Andy is drunk and deep in self shame. Sookie hears him feeling sorry for himself, as she tries to get him to leave. She hears him thinking she must be happy that she was right about him failing and she smiles kindly, saying she's going to call his sister to pick him up and calling him Detective Bellefleur. This seems to lighten Andy’s mood.

In a hurried rush, Sam bolts into his office, opens the safe and starts shoveling bundles of cash into a garbage bag. We are left to ponder why he is doing this.

Out in the parking lot, a still drunk Andy is trying to find his car. Sookie and Tara chase after him, maintaining that the only thing he’s driving tonight is them crazy. Sookie stops and tell him that Portia is on her way to pick him up and to give her his keys. Andy stops and says he doesn't have them, that he left them in the car, right here underneath the light. Some s-o-b stole his car. Sookie, looking around, asks if he is sure this is where he parked it. Andy then argues that this whole town has gone to crap. Nobody use to go murder each other, stealing cars. That's what happens when you don't let a good cop do his job. Tara sees his car, not far away and points to the trees. Ain't that it over there? Trudging up to vehicle, Andy raps ‘that ain't where I parked.’ Tara believing him plastered, is not buying it. As they get closer, something is not right and the door alarm is going off. Andy walks up and opens the door as a legs fall out. He is in total distress. ‘That ain't mine. I swear!’ as the girls scream.

S1 Ep 11: To Love Is To Bury

AIR DATE: November 16, 2008
PLOT:
Bill digs a grave as Pam watches over them, just in case Bill tries to kill Jessica, new-vampire before she goes to ground. Pam tells Bill, “you're romantic, you're sentimental”; and that he's a hero because he's a maker. She’s annoyed that he might do something to keep the little blood bag from joining their ranks. He than voices his doubts as to whether she was ever truly human. She kicks the girl into the hole and Bill climbs into the grave with Jessica. Pam begins to shovel dirt over them.

At Sookie's house, Sam leaves a message on Tara’s cell phone asking where she is, hopefully not in a ditch somewhere. Sookie comes in with blankets and prepares a bed for Sam on the couch. He asks about her vision from the bar and she concludes that couldn’t tell who the killer was, all she saw was images. And that his thoughts were red and black and all snarly. But there was something familiar about him, even though she didn't recognize who he was. She pictures a young girl, a waitress dying in his thoughts. Sam asks if she wants him to call Bill. Sookie thinks he isn't coming back. Bill would have felt how scared she was and still didn't come for her. Sookie asks if Sam has heard from Tara and no he hasn’t. He rubs her shoulder. She moves away, saying good-night. As she turns and leaves, Sam loads the rifle sitting by the mantle.

At her accident, Tara tells a police officer, Kenya about what really caused her to crash. She swears that she is an excellent driver. But one can not prepare for a naked lady and a hog in the middle of the road! That’s her story. Shaking her head, Kenya knows Tara is drunk and takes her into custody for drunk driving.

Jason and Amy begin to clean up what remains of Eddie. Jason believes Amy is totally out of her mind and tells her everything was going to be alright. They start screaming at each other as Amy says Jason was there the whole way and knew it was going to end badly. As he starts to clean he throws up and Amy tries to comfort him, telling him Eddie was a predator and already dead. She tells him not to let a vampire come between them. She says what they have is beautiful, as they sit in a basement surround by vampire blood and guts.

The next morning at Sookie's, Sam comes in to eat breakfast. Sookie doesn't want to wait for the killer to come for her. She's been searching the phone book, particularly the Yellow Pages. In her sleep, she remembered seeing a name on the woman’s uniform. Cindy, and she worked at a shop with the word "pie" in the name. Sam immediately knows the place. Sookie declares that she is going to investigate and Sam’s says he’s going with her.

Amy disposes of the bloody mess in the kitchen sink as Jason comes in, angry. He takes small vials out of the fridge, puts them in a trash bag, and smashes them on the counter top. Heatedly, he tells Amy he wants every drop out of his house and if she doesn't like it, she can pack her things and go. With that he leaves for work as she quietly says, I love you.

At the bar, with the news spouting the latest headlines over vampires and politics, Lafayette paints his toes nails. Angrily he observes his politician lover/ state senator, make an anti-vamp rights speech on the news. He asks Terry if he heard what they just said and he replies, “I can't listen to politicians no more. I get a seizure.” The reporters announce where the politician is speaking next and Lafayette tells Terry to cover his shift later. Amy comes in, looking haggard. Lafayette asks if Jason has dragged her into his b.s. She just smiles, takes a quick drink from the tap and goes back into the kitchen.

In Bunky, at the pie place, Sookie and Sam are getting nowhere the waitress, who appears to be witless. An elder man at the counter speaks up, saying he knows about Cindy. He tells them she worked there a few years before and was killed. The local police don’t have any suspects. He goes on to reveal that she has a brother, Drew Marshall. But he disappeared shortly after the murder. He also lets on that people thought she was carrying on with the vampires.

Inside the jail, allowed her one phone call, Tara calls her mom to come and bail her out with the Kenya looking on.

On the road crew work site, it’s quitting time and Jason tries to get Rene and Hoyt to go out and party. Hoyt asks why he wants to hang with them when he's got Amy. He thinks about it for a minute and then confesses that Amy is into V. Rene asks if she sleeps with vampires, too. Jason says no, she doesn't. Rene says "These things have a way of working out," and that they'll go out tomorrow.

In Bunky, Sookie and Sam visit the police station. Not having much luck getting anyone to help them, she over hears the cop thinking about his mistress. She tells Sam not to worry. The cop becomes insulting when he sees the vampire bites on Sookie's arm and refuses to help, saying good riddance to white trash. She ups the anty, suggesting that they will visit the library, find his home, and inform his wife of his affair. Also they will be contacting the Vampire League of America. Realizing he is caught, he sobers up, offering to fax a photo of Drew to the Bon Temps police.

At the politicians’ interview, Lafayette, dressed respectably, approaches to shake hands. He grins through intimidation, praising the man for taking a stand against vampires and gays and congratulating him for his views because, many things can happen to bring down a person such as him. He also warns him to be careful.

Jason arrives home surprised to find the table set with a candlelit dinner. Admitting to her that he was afraid she’d left him, he takes her in his arms. Amy says it was all her fault and she's sorry. She say's she’d do anything for him. Jason relents and they embrace each other.

During the night, Bill waits for Jessica to rise as a vampire. She claws her way out of the ground through the dirt. She looks around, hysterical and screaming, asking for help.

Sam and Sookie are on their way back to Bon Temps, bonding. Sam says he is a simple guy to which she laughingly replies, “What a load of horse pucky. Simple is one thing you are not.” She also asks him if he loves Tara. He says he likes her and cares about her, that she doesn't make it easy to love her. But they're just friends. Sam says he's not that easy to love either and Sookie tells him he's wrong. Sam asks if she loves Bill. She thinks she does, but where is he? If vampire politics are more important to him than her, she doesn’t know. She so mad at him, she could spit.

Jason unbuttons his pants and compliments Amy on her fantastic home cooked meal. She has something she wants to show him, but doesn't want him to get mad. She has saved the last drop of V. She talks about V being how they started their relationship, so that's how they should end it, to complete the circle. He’s not so sure as she goes to take the last drop, but then agrees to one last time.

As Jessica is trudging through the woods, Bill tries relentlessly to explain that she's a vampire now. She can't go home. At first she thinks of the things she'll miss. Her parents, her sister. No more belts, no more clarinets. She is ecstatic and starts celebrating. She thinks being a vampire means she can kill anyone she wants and there are a lot of people she’d like to kill. Bill rebuffs her saying that she cannot and has to mainstream. She starts to whine like a spoiled brat. He gives her a Tru Blood to steady her. Spitting it out after one swallow, she utters that it tastes terrible. She begins whining all over again that she’s so hungry and that he won’t let her do anything, and calling him the worst maker ever. Bill just stares, incredibly displeased.

At the jail, Lettie Mae has come to see Tara, but she's not there to bail her out. Lettie Mae tells her she won't let Tara come home. She thinks Tara's on the road to Hell and that she's a danger to her soul and salvation. She can't have her in the house. Tara points out she's the only reason she has a house. She put up with her mom beating her and taking her money and sending her to school dirty. And now she's turning her back on the one person who always stood by her. Tara tells her to leave. When her mother says she loves her, she says no, she does not, and never did.

At home, Jason and Amy lie in bed together. It looks like it’s raining on them. Climbing out of bed that appears to be in only half of a room, they run outside. Someone enters their house, wearing work boots. As they carouse gloriously through their V illusions, the intrudor approaches them as they sleep in bed. His face in not seen as he is wearing a hooded sweatshirt. He takes off his belt and wraps it around Amy's neck. In their dream, they dance and Amy doesn't know she is being strangled. In the V dream Jason, laughs, picking her up, twirling her around as she flies away. Later he wakes up next to her lifeless body. He is not aware of it at first and attempts to wake her by jumping on the bed. When she doesn’t stir, he looks closer and sees the ugly bruises on her neck. He cries, horrified that he killed her. He calls 911.

At Fangtasia, Bill has taken Jessica to Eric. Eric replies that she is Bill’s punishment, not his. Bill is desperate, acclaiming that Jessica won’t listen to him and it will take more time than he has to teach her to behave. Eric advises him to man up because she’s not even one night old. Bill states that’s not the issue as Eric asks Jessica if she wants to stay with her master. She doesn't want to and Eric commands her efficiently. Bill says he has urgent matters to attend to. Eric becomes agitated; asking if he means Sookie and Bill declares if anything were to happen to her that they would be without her helpful skills. Bill states that he would be in Eric’s debt and return the favor if he takes Jessica. Assuredly, Eric tells him he most definitely will.

At the jail, a woman, Mary Ann Forrester pays for Tara's bail. She doesn't know her. Tara assumes she's some kind of social worker. Mary Ann offers to take Tara home, but she does not want a ride. Mary Ann says Tara can come home with her. Tara makes sure that she's not a "Jesus person." She's about to leave when Tara stops her and agrees to go. They walk out to Mary Ann's extremely nice car. It was a gift. Andy Bellefleur pulls up and tells her to move her car. They drive off as Andy takes Jason in, exclaiming that he is surround by morons.

At home, Sookie and Sam watch TV on the couch. Sookie tells him she had a good day and Sam says the day she walked in looking for a job was probably the best day of his life. She smiles and they start to kiss. Just then, Bill comes in. He throw Sam off Sookie, across the room, and begins fighting him. She breaks it up, yelling at Bill for leaving her alone with no promise to come back and then attacking the one person who was left to protecting her. He asks if she knew what he'd done to return to her. At this point, she is so infuriated that she rescinds his invitation to be in her home. Crushed, he pleads with not to and with that he has to leave. She backs him out of the house and closes the door. Outside, he stand for a moment and leaves with out a word. In the living room, Sam still reeling, asks her to see what he's like. How can she even think about being with him. Piqued she half yells, "Sam, my living room's wrecked, I've got a killer, a vampire and a shape-shifter on my plate, right about now, I'm not thinking about being with anybody."

Mary Ann and Tara drive up to Mary Ann’s home and it is tremendous. Walking up to steps, she invites Tara in.

At the police station, Andy gloats, saying he knew Jason was the killer from the beginning. Jason is emotionally deflated and despondent. He says he doesn't remember what he's done, to any of them or care to even make sense of any of it. But they keep dying around him, so it must be him, right? He tells him he took V with Amy and when he woke up, she was dead. But they were alone, so he thinks he must have done it. But he doesn't know why, he loved her. Andy screams at him that he hated Dawn and Maudette, Jason denies it. Andy than accuses him of killing his grandmother, but Jason denies it. Ticked off, Andy says it’s the worst confession he's ever heard. But that's all Jason has. Near tears, Jason says he doesn't want to hurt anyone else and asks them to lock him up. As he is being escorted to a holding cell, the fax of Drew Marshall arrives at the police station and the secretary, Rosie carelessly covers it up with files as she gushes to a friend on the phone. But we see it is Rene.

S1 Ep 7: Burning House of Love

AIR DATE: October 19, 2008
PLOT:
As this episode begins, Bill and Sookie are still making love by the fire as he continues to drink from her. When they finish, they take a bath. Sookie is surprised to see his reflection in a mirror. He clarifies some of the folklore about vampires, such as holy water being just water, having a reflection proves that they are real and crosses are just geometry. Sookie thinks on their consummation and says she never thought she would be able to have sex with anyone. Bill is not only flattered, but honored that she chose him.

Sookie than has a vision of her childhood, about Uncle Bartlett and how he abused her. She told Gran about what he did and she ran him off to never speak to him again. After the most perfect moment in her life, she hates the fact that she can't help but think about him. Bill pulls her close, telling her to think about what ever she wants and that she is safe with him.

Lafayette starts to strips for his Web cam show as Jason comes in, seeing what’s going on, tells him to put on the breaks. He has come by, hoping to get more V. He offers to pay Lafayette what ever and even dance for his website again. Lafayette becomes angry, telling him no and critizes him for telling Tara where he got it in the first place. He tells Jason to leave. Jason asks him what he's going to do, call the police? He goes for Lafayette's stash and Lafayette grabs him and throws him out, as Jason asks where he can get V and Lafayette tells him to go to the morgue as that is where he will end up.

Bill shows Sookie his hidden resting place, under the house. She asks if anyone ever gets in there with him. He turns to her, concerned, saying that this is not a place for her. Deeply thoughtful, Sookie remarks that they can never sleep beside each other as Bill climbs down into dark. Before shutting the door, he says that no one else knows where he rests. As the sun rises, Sookie makes her way home, dressed in one of Bill’s shirts.

Tara helps her mom figure out how to dodge bills. Coming in with her coffee spiked, Lettie Mae asks for $445 to exorcise her demon, which also told her to drink all the booze in the house that day because it doesn’t want her to get clean. Tara tells her she needs to go to AA and Lettie Mae says they’re nothing but a cult. Tara tries to take the coffee from her and when it spills, her mom sucks the booze from her clothes and skin. Tara looks on in complete repulsion.

Sookie returns home to find Jason trying to take a bag of Gran’s possessions as well as two silver candle sticks which were given to her as a wedding present. Jason says he’s only taking half of what’s his and refuses to tell her why. He takes a good look at her seeing the bites marks and belittles her for her actions. Saying she saved it (her virginity) all these years to waste it on a fucking vampire. Sookie insists that Bill is a gentleman and would never hurt her, which is more than she can say for Jason. He says he tried to apologize for hitting her and that she wouldn’t let him. He than tries to leave as Sookie grabs the bag he's carrying and jewelry falls onto the floor. She looks at him as he leaves with just the candlesticks.

Tara goes by to see Sam and the friendly dog is outside. He is getting angry at the repairs he has to make on his trailer and about how she left him in that seedy motel. He expresses that she's not very good at being in a relationship. She says that she hasn't had much practice. "Maybe I'm un-boyfriendable." He's trying to fix something and she tells him needs a certain kind of screwdriver. He asks how she knows and she remarks, “No daddy and a drunk mom. All the fixin' fell to me.” At that point she gets a phone call and leaves.

Her mother is at the bank, trying to get a loan for an exorcism. She tries everything to get the money. When sexual advances and sitting in the manager's lap do not work in her favor, she accuses him of being prejudiced against her because she's a Christian. Tara comes to get her. Her mom screams that she can't take the demon inside her much longer. Breaking down in front of everyone at the bank. She takes her home. As her mother goes to lay down, Tara takes some money out from under the sink and begins counting it. That night at Merlotte's, the crowds are noisy and Sookie is working. She wears a scarf around her neck to hid the marks that Bill left and she is in a harmonious state of mind.

Terry Bellefleur informs Sam that Tara called and says she's not coming into work that night. Jason's one-nighter, Randi Sue calls him and tries to get him to come to the bar, but he says that he’s heading to Shreveport to the vampire bar. She than reprimands him for low moral character and hangs up the phone.

Sam sees Lafayette starting to fume at the rednecks who refused to eat his food earlier, come back in to Merlotte’s. Sam tells him that he is paying him to cook, not beat on customers. He relents, wanting a raise for this. Lafayette does get his revenge by cooking a spoon over the burner and putting it in their soup.

Arlene can tell something is different about Sookie. She guesses what has happened, but hopes it was with Sam and not Bill. Sookie says it was Bill and she thinks she might be in love with him. She asks Arlene not to tell anyone and Arlene immediately tells her husband Rene and hopes Sookie doesn't get pregnant. How will she nurse a baby with fangs? Sam overhears this and loses his cool. He goes and rips the scarf from Sookie’s neck, exposing the marks and expressing his strong disapproval in front of the whole bar. She screams that what she does in her own time in no concern of their and walks away.

Jason’s search for more V juice leads him to Fangtasia. At the front door, Pam discovers that he is Sookie's brother and glamours him to find out his intentions and he says the reason he's there is to get vampire blood. She allows him to go inside, telling him good luck getting out.

A wheelchair bound Uncle Bartlett takes out his trash. As he is coming back up to the house, he sees Bill waiting for him. He worriedly admits that he doesn’t have any cash in the house. Bill replies that he's not there for money but for Sookie, and bites him.

Tara and her mother are walking the back roads, on their way to meet Ms. Jeannette in the woods for her exorcism. Tara gives her the cash. They head into Ms. Jeannette's trailer where all sorts of voodoo and talismans hang. She tells Tara's mom to take off her clothes and for Tara to sit and be still. Jeanette places various stones and rock all over Lettie Mae’s body and begins the ritual.

Sookie raves about her night with Bill to Lafayette, who says he was always too scared to let them bite him and that when there's blood involved, a line been crossed. She happily exclaims that a definitely crossed a line and glad she did. He congratulates her for that, but calls her a skank under his breath as she walks away.

At Fangtasia, Jason tries unsuccessfully to get vampire blood from Longshadow. But a girl named Amy overhears all of this and steps in to save him. Posing as his girlfriend, she drags him away to a table and implies that she has what he’s looking for. Than suggests he keep quiet or he’ll get them killed. They both leave the bar together.

At Merlotte’s, the three cruel vampires Diane, Liam, and Malcolm come in and are looking to start trouble. Sam tells them to leave, saying it's locals only. Malcolm sees Sookie and notices that she has given up the goods. (Letting Bill feed from her). Malcolm than tries to take her and she cuts him off saying, “Don't you think for one second I would ever have anything to do with you! I am sure you were trash while you were alive and now you're just dead trash!” He replies that he is going to drain her so slowly, she will beg him to kill her. The patrons try to stand up to them. With Sam going as far to snap a pool cue into a makeshift stake. But the vampires are too strong.

Bill, disposing of her uncle's body in a backwoods lake, sense Sookie’s distress and heads for the bar.

Terry tries to help, but Liam knocks him out. Just as Sam and Sookie are about to be bitten, Bill appears in the door, telling the other vampires to stop. They are there for him, not the locals. They want him to join their nest. He agrees to go with them. Sookie says he's better than them, but he stares at her and says he's not human, he's a vampire.

Jason and Amy, are at a gas station talking, while he's anxious to get more V. They both decide to go to his house and peel out into the night.

Tara watches as Ms. Jeannette performs the exorsism on her mother. Tara's not taking it seriously, but Ms. J says she needs to. She has an opossum on standby for the demon to flee to. She starts humming and banging a drum as she chants. Tara watches as mom starts breathing heavily and heaving. When her mom is silent the opossum starts screeching in its cage. Ms. J picks it up and dunks it in a tub of water, drowning it.

The rednecks plan to go to the vampire's house and get rid them once and for all. Sookie wants Sam to stop them, but he says he doesn't care what happens to them. Sookie says Bill only went with them to get them away from the bar.

Back at his house, Amy is going on and on about the earth and Jason just wants to do the V. She slowly takes the stuff out, preparing it with aspirin for a fuller effect. She calls it nature's greatest gift. She grinds the blood on aspirin into a powder and puts it on a tray like its cocaine. She prays over it, honoring the earth. Jason plays along to get high. She snorts a line. Then Jason.They hear birds chirping and everything goes out of focus. She kisses him.

Sookie calls Bill and leaves a message, warning him that a lynch mob that is their way to the vampire’s nest.

In his bedroom Jason begins to fantasize as Amy joins him in bed. They appear to have slow, pleasurable sex, where each touch seems to send glowing sparks, like fire between them.

Tara is furious, exclaiming that she just spent four hundred dollars to watch Jeanette drown a opossum. Ms. Jeannette tells Lettie Mae her demon is gone, but they now have to do something about Tara. She's not buying it, but Ms. Jeannette asks about her life. Does she have many friends, trouble keeping a job, her own place. She tells Tara to find her when she's ready.

Sookie comes to Bill's house. She looks for him in his hidden resting place. He's not there. She sits and waits.

At daybreak, the lynch mob arrives at the nest and armed with Molotov cocktails. They surround the house and toss their bottles through the windows, setting the house on fire. One of them ignites his arm and his buddy puts him out as the house burns. They run away as the building goes up in flames, with the vampires screaming inside.

In the early morning, Andy and Terry Bellefleur are fishing in the swaps and talking about when they used to this as kids. Terry sees something in the woods and signals for Andy to be quiet. Stunned, they both watch as Sam Merlotte runs naked just inside the trees. Andy wonders where he is going and Terry just sits back, saying he’s done that before. Andy gets a call and not happy at the news.

Sookie wakes up at Bill's. Looking around, everything is quiet as she goes to the closet that conceals his resting place. He is not there as the door is still wide open. She hears sirens in the distance and runs from the house.

At the vampire’s nest, the house is in smoking ruins as the police pull four coffins from the building. Many voice their opinions about what and/or who may have done this. Many are happy that someone took action. Sookie arrives moments later, wondering if Bill was in the house.

Jason tries to calm and comfort Sookie and the siblings are interrupted by the arrival of neighbor Faye LeFebvre. She is drawn to Dawn's home by the screams and the noise. She is the neighbor who was awakened the night before by Dawn and Jason's fight. She immediately believes that Jason is the one who murdered Dawn.

Sheriff Bud Dearborne and Detective Andy Bellefleur arrive to the process the scene and interview Faye, Jason and Sookie. Sookie is distracted and the thoughts of everyone else are running through her head. Andy is expressing resentment over everyone's respect of Bud by referring to him as sheriff. He himself is referred to as simply Andy even though he has the title of detective. Jason is concerned that after he was released from Maudette's murder that he will not be released for the suspicion of this one. Andy handcuffs Jason and tosses him into the backseat of his cruiser. He ignores Jason's demands for air conditioning or the window being rolled down. Jason panics realizing he has a vial of vampire blood in his pocket. He quickly drinks the blood and hides the empty vial in the seat cushions.

A crowd has gathered outside Dawn's home. Watching the crime scene seems to be a spectator sport for the residents of the parish. Arlene and Rene stand watch over the scene while Hoyt and his mother arrive to join them.

Sam is apparently Dawn's landlord as well as her employer and he arrives with keys to allow the police into her storage unit. The coroner introduces Sookie to his new assistant while they bring Dawn's body out to the van.

Jason is being questioned by Bud and Andy but is distracted by the effects of the V Juice. He escapes to the bathroom with an uncontrollable arousal. He loudly tries to take matters into his own hands. Bud and Andy are drawn to the bathroom by Jason's shouts and try to get in the bathroom. Tara angrily arrives at the police station and informs everyone that Jason was with her the night before. Given his alibi Jason is released.

Jason is at home trying to take care of his erection and unable to find release. He goes to Lafayette at Merlotte's for a solution but Lafayette doesn't have any answer for him.

Sookie is unaware of Jason's release and is trying to listen to everyone's thoughts at Merlotte's. Gran had advised Sookie to listen in and try to find out who really is killing the ladies of the parish. Tara warns Sam not to say anything about their night together because she provided Jason with his alibi.

Bill visits Sookie during her shift at Merlotte's and she asks him to take her to Fangtasia, the vampire run bar in Shreveport. He is seated in Arlene's section and she shows her vampire prejudice by telling Bill they are out of his preferred blood. She tells Tara to give her the blood cold and not to heat it in the microwave. Sookie tells Arlene Bills prefers O blood and that she will serve him. Bill reluctantly agrees to escort her there. She primly tells him that she is asking him as a friend and it is not a date. Bill looks over her attire when he picks her up and decides she looks like vampire bait. She asks if that means that he likes the way she looks he reminds her that it is not a date.

Tara goes to the walk-in cooler and finds Jason sitting in the corner covering himself with raw meat. She tells him to show her stating that he isn't the first case of priapism in the world. He removes the steak and she is shocked by the sight of Jason's groin area. She rushes him to the hospital.

Sookie enters Fangtasia and there is a glimpse of the new coroner's assistant in the bar. He notices Sookie with Bill and leaves the bar. The bartender, Longshadow, admits that both Dawn and Maudette have been in the bar but does not elaborate.

The doctor tells Jason the only way to relieve the erection is to drain the blood from the area with a large needle. Tara chooses that moment to make her exit only to have Jason beg her to stay. She tells him she admits to wondering about some medical stuff but she isn't that f-ing curious. He begs and she goes to him and holds his hand. She tells him she will never be the same after this.

Arlene asks Sam to walk her to her car. She tells him she hates to ask. Sam tells her not to hate to ask with what has been happening to the women in the parish. He turns off the light to follow her. A picture of Sam and Dawn hugging is seen above the bar.

A blonde, Norse/Viking vampire, sits on a throne in the bar. Bill tells Sookie his name is Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), and he is the oldest thing in the bar. His second-in-command, a vampire named Pam (Kristin Bauer), looks over the pictures with Eric. Eric admits that he has tasted Dawn. He says that Maudette was too pathetic for his attentions. Sookie hears the thoughts of an undercover officer awaiting the arrival of a police raid. She also hears the thoughts of a human male being fed upon by a female vamp in the bathroom. She warns Eric who escapes with Sookie and Bill in tow. He tells Sookie she will come to Fangtasia again. He doesn't make it sound like a question.

Tara is driving Jason home from the hospital and remembers a moment from their past. She flashes back to when she ran to Sookie's home to escape her mother. She banged on the door for refuge and is let in the house by Jason. Tara's mother beats on the door demanding that Tara come out. Lettie tells Jason that Tara took her Captain Morgan bottle. Tara says she poured it out. Jason refuses to let her in, protecting Tara. He threatens to call the police on Tara's mother. He tells her that no Captain Morgan will be waiting on her if she is thrown in jail. Lettie warns Tara that it isn't over yet.

Bill is pulled over by a cop when he is driving Sookie home. Bill glamors, disarms and threatens the officer. He keeps the gun. The officer pisses himself as Bill and Sookie drive away.

Sam goes to Dawn's house. He goes past the crime scene tape wearing gloves and lets himelf in with keys. He enters the bedroom and smells the linens on the bed. He climbs up on the bed smelling the pillows, rolling around in the sheets.

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.
