SPOILER ALERT: This is a recap of the episode, so if
you haven’t watched it and don’t want to know what happens, exit now…
HBO had a live party from the set
of Fangtasia. It was only 15
minutes and the moderator spoke most of the time, but we got a little view of
everyone and some possibilities of what may happen this season. I was so glad to see that Joe
Manganiello cut his hair because frankly, it was getting out of control.
We jump right back in where we
left off in season 5. Billith
resurrects and Eric and Sookie run as fast as they can. They get stuck on the elevator when
Billith pulls out all the wires.
Sookie uses her fairy light to help Eric see while he’s punching the
safety hatch in the elevator.
Jason’s still putting his para-military training to good use by killing
Authority vamps and Nora fights to keep Tara, Pam, Jessica, and Jason together
and safe. Pam, always rebelling
against any authority, asks who “bitch sergeant” Nora is and she tells her to
ask Eric. Nora tells Jason he’s a
good vampire killer. Suddenly the
building explodes and they think Sookie and Eric have blown up. Then Eric pulls up in an SUV and tells
everyone to jump in. They see
Billith rise from the flames as they drive away. They debate whether Bill is still really Bill, but decide he
wouldn’t have let them get away if he wanted them dead.
While making their getaway they
hear the governor of Louisiana, Truman Burrell, holding a press conference on
the radio. Two hundred forty six human
citizens in the state have been killed since the TrueBlood factory
bombings. He enacts a vampire
curfew as well as executive order 846 of the Louisiana constitution, which
states that all vampire businesses are to immediately shut down. He tells the humans to stock up on guns
and wooden bullets. A protestor
throws a blood-filled balloon (I’m assuming it was corn syrup) at the governor
who pays it no mind.
Back in the SUV Pam and Nora
continue to bicker until Eric pulls the car over and says he needs to speak to
Nora privately. Pam asks him who
she is and he tells her it’s his sister.
He never confided in Pam that he had a vampire sister and she is stunned
and feels betrayed. Eric asks Nora
if there is anything in the vampire bible to explain what just happened with
Bill. She doesn’t know what is
going on. It only took one drop of
Lilith’s blood for her to turn her back on her family and Bill drank the whole
thing. They decide they must kill
Bill. Jessica yells out in
disbelief and they turn to find everyone staring at them.
Pam stomps along the beach
kicking over sand castles. Tara
walks over to comfort her and Pam is crying. She says she is crying because she is mad that Eric has kept
secrets from her and because she hates the beach. It’s nothing but “fish shit and sand in your cooch”. Tara puts the moves on her buy slowly
extending her arm over Pam’s shoulder and Pam leans on Tara to cry.
Sookie goes to talk to
Jessica. Jessica asks her if she
still loves Bill and Sookie says she does in her own way. He was her first everything. Sookie says what she saw was not Bill
and they must to let him go.
Jessica is scared that she will be alone and Sookie tells her she will
never be alone.
Nora thinks Jason knows something
more about what’s going on with Bill since he name-dropped Warlow. Eric says he’s never read a book, but
Nora tells him that Warlow was Lillith’s progeny and is mentioned in the
vampire bible. She goes to
question Jason and glamors him. Turns
out he doesn’t know much about Warlow, only that their great great grandfather
promised him Sookie. Eric
interrupts and Jason realizes he’s been glamored again. He tells the vamps that he’s tired of
all their mind control crap. He
raises his gun to Eric, but Sookie stops him. Jason is appalled that she is still defending the vampires,
calls Tara a fanger and says Sookie is dead to him before running off into the
night. Next, all of a sudden,
Jessica is being pulled by something.
Bill is summoning her. Eric
stops her, but she starts coughing up blood. She is about to combust when Sookie finally decides to get
in the car and take her to Bill.
Tara tries to follow, but Eric stops her. He tells Pam and Tara to go to Fangtasia and wait for
him. Pam tries to stop him and he
tells her to get out of his way.
He and Nora fly.
Luna, Sam, and Emma make it out
to a playground, but Luna can’t hold on any longer. With her last breath she asks Sam to protect Emma. Sam takes Emma to Merlotte’s. She is asleep. He lays her down and grabs a pool stick
because he senses someone there.
Lafayette comes out with a shotgun. He says he’s protecting Sam’s investment, but in actuality
Sam has interrupted his sober nap.
He asks Sam whose blood is all over him and what was up with Luna
shifting into Steve Newlin on TV. He
tells Sam that was some sick shit and I watch Dance Moms”. He figures out Luna is dead and Emma
wakes up. She tells Sam she is
hungry and LaLa takes her to the kitchen to fix her something “fried, covered
in sugar, and fried again” and also wants to do her hair for her. Sam asks Lafayette not to tell anyone
he saw Sam and Emma. Lafayette
says, “wrong place at the wrong time ought to be my mother fucking middle
name”.
The Shreveport pack is busy
eating J.D. That is seriously the
worst tradition ever, cannibalistic werewolves??? Alcide must eat to secure the packmaster spot so he bites
the arm, growls and all of a sudden women are offering themselves to him. First in line is Danielle (who by the
way was all over J.D. so yuck).
She offers to do “anything” she can for Alcide. Martha and Rikki are watching. Martha says the vamp blood he took will
wear off, but power is a much more dangerous drug. All the wolves start turning
and running through the woods.
Danielle and Alcide get off by themselves. They kiss and Rikki catches them. Danielle goes to leave, but Rikki calls her back. She asserts her female alpha authority
and tells Alcide to remember she’s his number one bitch, while Danielle goes
down on him.
Arlene is taking care of Andy’s
quadruplet fairy babies while he’s outside having a panic attack. He doesn’t know how to take care of
children and is upset that his life has changed. He is scared so Arlene gives him a pep talk. She and Terry give him tips on changing
a diaper. Mainly, don’t stick the
diaper tape to the baby, use the wipes with the bunny on them and most
importantly “Purell, Purell, Purell”!
Later than night four fairy toddler wake up Andy as they scream “daddy”. Terry and Arlene wake to the surprise
as well.
Jason decides to hitchhike and
gets picked up by a weird and mysterious character played by Rutger Hauer. Jason says he didn’t think anyone would
pick him up the way he looked and the driver replies “a little blood doesn’t
scare me”. Jason silently pulls
his gun to his side just in case.
Jason asks if he can drop him off in Bon Temps. The driver says he used to have family
there, but they are all dead.
Jason decides to tell him his family’s entire life story, literally
everything. He mentions stopping
Warlow from getting his sister and the man tells him he will never be able to
stop Warlow. Jason thinks the
driver is Warlow and goes to shoot him, but the man disappears out of the car. Leaving Jason with no driver and headed
to some trees.
Jessica and Sookie arrive at
Bill’s house. They see bloody
footprints and find him on the upstairs porch. Luckily they had the sense to arm themselves with the conveniently
placed stick outside the front near the shrubbery. They pass by some red powder. I’m not sure what it was supposed to be, flaked off blood? Bill says he just wants to talk when
Eric and Nora fly out of nowhere.
He shoves Nora who hits the side of the porch and catches Eric mid-stake
to his chest. Bill almost kills
Eric, but Sookie stakes him instead.
He pulls the stake out of his chest and says again that he just wants to
talk. He says he is still Bill
Compton, though obviously he has some extra powers now. Sookie says she thinks Bill Compton is
dead and urges him to leave Bon Temp.
Jessica comes to Bill’s defense.
She is mad that Sookie staked him and tells them all they should
leave. She is going to stay with
Bill and the two kick the rest out.
Governer Burrell meets with one
of the TrueBlood factory owners.
He offers a bottling plant to help them get back on top of their
orders. He says he’s not the “big
bad” everyone thinks he is. He
just wants revenue so he will be re-elected. (Whatever, he just declared open war on the vampires and
probably wants to keep a close eye on anything to do with their nightly lives.)
Tara and Pam get back to
Fangtasia. Tara doesn’t understand
why Pam still follows Eric’s orders since he released her. Pam declares that Tara will never
understand her loyalty. Tara
thinks Pam should forget about Eric and try to work out what’s going on between
the two of them. Pam tells Tara
that they will not have an epic love story and she will never replace
Eric. Then a swat team storms in
to make sure the bar is closed down and guns with green dots are pointed at the
two female vamps.
Eric walks Sookie home. He tells her he has enough money for
her to move away and start a new life.
She knows she’s had too much of Bill’s blood and he would always be able
to find her so she may as well stay where she has friends. Eric tells her he will always remember
her as “the girl in the white dress” that walked into his bar. When inside, he asks for a pen and
paper in order to sign her house in her name. He has to write in blood. After that he tells her to stay away from Bill. She tells him she wants to be that girl
in the white dress again too so she rescinds his invitation into the house. She decides she needs to be vampire
free for now. He tells her “goodbye
Miss Stackhouse”. Nora is sitting
outside. She wants to know if they
can use Sookie against Bill, but Eric tells her to leave Sookie out of it. Nora realizes he’s in love with her and
makes a joke about having found Eric’s weakness. Eric threatens her again to leave Sookie out of this or he
will go after Nora.
Over at chez Compton, Bill comes
to tuck Jessica into bed and bring her a snack. She tells him back in the building he was a monster and she
was scared. He tells her of
General Sherman in the Civil War.
He started out as a nice man, but soon the power he had went to his
head. Bill needs Jess to keep him
honest and bring him back. He is
afraid of what the power may do to him.
Afterwards, he hears Lillith’s call. It leads him to his office where he see’s three of her. They converge and whoosh into his body.
End Credits…
C’mon Bill, did you think
drinking Lillith’s blood wouldn’t come with a price or there wasn’t some agenda
she had in mind? Why has Eric kept
so many secrets from Pam and what will happen to their relationship now as the
gap is growing wider? And while
we’re talking about rescinding things, I would like to rescind my vote for
Alcide as packmaster. I loved his
speech at the end of last season, but not five minutes later he’s going all
wolf crazy. I just don’t like this
new side of him, however, I do think it’s something we need to see him go
through. I just like the lone wolf
Alcide a lot better. I hope he
doesn’t let it all go to his head.
Continuing the subject of were’s, be they wolf or panther, why are they
always dirty, junkie alcoholics who should be the poster children for STD’s? It’s very stereotypical for the blue-collar
lifestyle. I know it’s the south,
but should we perpetuate that?
Maybe I’m being a little harsh.
And the question of the evening is: How quickly do baby fairy’s grow? What are they like 4-5 now? And they are like the Hulk, there clothes grow with them.
Until next week, bon chance!
