Ep 6.1 "Who Are You Really?"

-->
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!
