6.5 "Fuck the Pain Away"



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…

QUICK LOOK:  Almost every vamp we love is at Camp Truman, Warlow meets his maker, and Sookie finds out what really happened the night her parents died.

So, Ben and Sookie are still in foreplay mode on the sofa.  Sookie tells him “get the fuck off me or die Warlow” and says she has a really big vampire killing light ball so he better do what she says.  He immediately goes into his British accent (I didn’t know people in 3500 BC had a British accent) and tells her she doesn’t understand.  She is his intended, he waited a millennium for her and he loves her.  She asks why he killed her parents.  He claims that her parents were planning to kill her that night and he saved her.  She doesn’t believe him and blasts him with a fairy fireball.  Across the cemetery at Bill’s house Jess is high as a kite and overcome with guilt.  Bill hugs her and tries to comfort her until she puts the moves on him.  He stops her and tells her she’s high.  Then, Bill feels Warlow’s pain from Sookie’s fireball (because he’s Lilith and Warlow is her progeny).  Bill rushes over to Sookie’s and finds her in her underwear mid-fight.  Ben threatens to kill Bill because he broke Sookie’s heart (aww, how chivalrous) until Bill tells him Ben already killed him once.  As his maker (and totally surprising to Ben) he commands Ben to come with him. 

While Bill is gone, Andy shows up at his house armed and ready.  The front door has been left open.  When he gets inside he sees his little girl’s dead and strewn across the living room floor.  He checks to see if they’re alive.  Jess sneaks out and Andy hears one of his girls gasping for breath.  He tells her “Daddy will make it okay” and takes her away from the house.  He brings her to the police station and gets a vial of vampire blood out of the evidence room and gets her to drink it.

Eric shows up to meet Pam and Tara.  Tara tells him that the LAVTF just caught Pam.  Eric follows to where they snatched her and he and Tara give themselves up to the LAVTF.  Pam has been escorted to Camp Truman and sees they are doing everything from de-fanging vampires to watching them have sex “all in the name of science”. 

Burrell has had his men take Willa away to Camp Truman.  Sara tries to appeal to him explaining Willa is no longer his little girl.  Vampires took away her sister and her ex husband.  Then she decides this is the perfect time to tell him she wants to have his baby, but she needs a ring on her finger first.  He tells Sara that no one can replace Willa and this is not the time to be having that conversation.  (Seriously, even though I’m not on his side, his daughter was just turned into a vampire and attacked him pick your moment’s lady.  This isn’t it…)  He leaves to escort Willa to camp while Sara tells him you don’t turn down a woman who came to you in black lingerie.

Bill and Ben are back at Bill’s.  Ben wants to know how Bill is able to control him.  Bill explains he drank Lilith’s blood so he is now also Lilith and she has shown him memories of what Ben did to her.  Bill commands him to resist the urge to kill him, draws blood from him and tells him not to try and leave the house.  Flashback to 3500BC:  A loin clothed and badly wigged Ben leaves his village to go to the river to get water.  Naked Lilith (does this chick ever wear clothes) comes up to him and wants to know what he is.  They have 3-second sex and she informs him that God spoke to her of a creature like him.  He is destined to save the vampires.  Ben tells Billith she made him into something he despises.  Billith declares Ben is the vampire’s salvation.

After being turned away by Burrell, Sara goes to visit Jason.  I literally yelled at him to run like hell, but of course he couldn’t hear me.  He is a little apprehensive at first.  The last time they saw each other she shot him with a paint ball gun.  She tells him she is different now and she wants to save his soul.  She believes she was supposed to help him see God’s light, but she ran at the first sign of trouble.  He tells her he’s not the same dumb kid he was at Fellowship camp, but she convinces him they have a connection.  She wants to be with him again and tells him God told her to fuck him.  Like, literally those exact words.  Jason, never letting a sexual opportunity pass, sleeps with her.

Alcide and Jackson are at some backwoods establishment called “The Unfriendly Possum”.  The name is pretty fitting for the wolves hanging out inside.  Alcide talks to a seasoned prostitute and asks if she’s seen a shifter who is traveling with a light-skinned woman and a little girl.  She claims she hasn’t seen anyone like that and blows him off saying she needs to get back to work.  Next he goes up to a large man sitting near Jackson at the bar.  He doesn’t even get to ask the guy anything before the stranger tells him to go fuck himself.  Jackson explains that country wolves don’t trust city wolves.  Then he tries to give some fatherly advice by asking if he’s doing all of this because it’s the right thing to do or for “that piece of ass that has taken over your life?” (aka Rikki; really, what is up with Alcide and crazy women?)  Alcide throws him on the floor and tells Jackson not to question his packmaster.  Jackson reminds him that he never joined Alcide’s pack.  Alcide tells him to get out of his life and Jackson asks for some traveling money, which Alcides tosses out into the air.

Eric and Tara arrive at Camp Truman.  He tells her to find Pam.  Eric is put into a white room with three other vampires.  Suddenly, three rubber balls fall from the ceiling.  Eric and two others grab the balls, the vamp left with his hands empty gets shot.  This goes on until Eric is the first to grab a gun and shoot (but not kill) the only other vampire.  I’m guessing this is some sort of testing to see which vampires are the strongest and oldest.  They could’ve just asked though…  Afterwards, Eric is put in a rec-room type area with other male vampires.  He asks if anyone has seen Pam, but they all scatter and say nothing leaving him a table to himself.

Jason wakes up to Jess beating on his door.  Sara is asleep in his bedroom.  (Shit, this isn’t good.)  She is upset and tells him she did an unspeakable thing and she doesn’t know why God doesn’t just strike her down.  She rambles for a moment until he tells her he is having a hard time keeping up.  She asks if he ever loved her and if so what was it he loved about her.  He says he did love her, mostly for her heart, but everything with Hoyt just made it so complicated.  Jess confesses she is scared that Bill may be the devil and is paranoid, especially since she is high on fairy blood.  Sara comes out into the living room and gets pissed that Jason has a vampire girlfriend he neglected to tell her about.  Jess realizes she is “Steve Newlin’s ex-wife”, which enrages Sara even more.  She is her own person, after all (she claims).  Sara calls Jessica a demon whore causing Jess to grab her and pin her down.  Sara stands up to her quoting the bible before rescinding Jessica’s invitation into Jason’s house.  Um, how did she do that?  You have to be the owner of the house…  Jason tries to stop her, but as soon as Jess gets outside there are lights shined in her eyes.  It’s the LAVTF (who Sara called).  They take Jessica as Jason tries to stop them.  Sara tells him her body is a temple and he defiled it with his “vampire-loving pecker” while storming out of the house.

Back at camp, Pam is forced into a therapy session.  Basically if she doesn’t want to be studied her other option is to get shot by the hidden guards.  She decides to lie down on the couch, but then jumps up because she’s worried it’s a therapy session.  She doesn’t want to talk about her feelings (especially since she’s feeling vulnerable about her relationship with Eric right now).  She asks if she can be transferred to the “fuck room” because she’d much rather have sex with someone.  Unfortunately, the “fuck room” is only for level 3 patients and she is only a level one, so they are interested in her intellectually.  The doctor will ask her a series of questions and if he believes her answers she will be able to feed from the LDP (Living Donor Program).  If she doesn’t cooperate she gets a ration of watered down TrueBlood.  She prefers a donor and specifies she wants a female.  The doctor wants to know what value she places on human life.  She tells it like it is in true Pam style, it depends on the human, but most she couldn’t give a damn about.  He believes her so she get’s one short feeding from the donor.

Sookie visits Merlotte’s.  Lafayette asks what she is doing at her place of work, because he knows she’s not actually there to work.  (A little cast joke about the fact that Sookie never seems to actually work on the show.)  They go into Sam’s office to talk and she tells him about Warlow.  She explains what happened and how Ben/Warlow said he loved her.  She felt like he really believed he did love her.  Lafayette tells her she has the messed up talent of seeing the good in every creature she meets and she shouldn’t buy what Ben is selling.  She tells Lafayette she needs to find her way back to the truth and she needs his help.

At a booth in Merlotte’s, Terry is talking to an old marine buddy of his named Justin.  He wonders why Terry all of a sudden looked him up since they haven’t seen each other in years.  Terry confesses that he killed Patrick.  He wants to know if Justin is still a good shooter and if he will kill Terry.  Terry will pay him.  Terry explains that he tried to kill himself, but he couldn’t do it.  He believes he deserves to die.  Arlene walks up and introduces herself.  I guess she is suspicious because Terry has been acting strange lately.  Once she’s gone Justin asks if she knows about Patrick.  Terry says she does and she is pushing him to go on like nothing happened, but he can’t do that.  Justin says he will kill Terry for free. (WTF?)  Terry asks for a few days to get his affairs in order, but he doesn’t want to know when the bullet is coming.

Andy is at home watching his daughter sleep.  Holly is there, trying to comfort him.  Andy says the girl told him Jess was the one who attacked her and her sisters.  Holly is surprised because Jess is such a nice vampire.  She thinks maybe it was a terrible accident.  Andy also tells her that his daughter said Bill was taking their blood and performing experiments.  He grabs his gun to go after Bill, but Holly stops him.  She pleas with him saying Bill is much stronger and will kill Andy and then his daughter will have no one.  Holly calls off the search and they decide to tell everyone the other girls went to live with their mother.  Andy declares he can’t just sit back and not do anything and Holly tells him she will help him get through this.

 Jess is put into the women’s quarters at camp and finds Tara.  She tells her how she ate the four fairy girls and she is totally fucked up.  She asks if Tara believes in the devil.  She says she doesn’t, but her mother sure did.  Jess wonders if vampires are bad and realizes she killed the fairy girls because she wanted too.  She realizes the hunger inside her will never go away.  Hmm, could she be the vampire that dies this season?  She gives herself up for a higher cause?  Their daily ration of watered down TrueBlood is being doled out.  Jessica gives hers to Tara saying she can’t eat it.  Suddenly all the females are ready to attack Jess, but Tara blocks her ready to fight.  Then, a vampire woman comes up and makes all the other vampires spread out.  She asks what is wrong with Jessica and Tara tells her Jessica is fine.  The woman says she guesses they owe her then.  (Who is this new vampire chick?)  Later, Tara sees Willa being escorted through the camp.  She calls to her, but the guard tells Tara she is a VIP so she gets her own special room.  Once the guard gets Willa to her cell he tells her he has an arrangement with some of the female vamps in the camp.  He offers to scratch her back if she’ll lift his balls (yuck).

In the doctor’s office, Pam tells him that vampires don’t form special bonds.  She says she personally feels no remorse for killing other vampires.  The doctor starts to talk about her maker.  She tells him her maker released her so they no longer have a special bond.  He doesn’t believe she’s not upset about it, but she tells him humans are special in their love for pain.  Humans consider it a virtue.  Their lives are pathetically brief, but vampires are immortal so when they say forever it is forever, so pain is a worthless emotion.  She confesses that at one time her maker was everything to her, then he released her and it did hurt.  However, now she is over it and he is nothing to her.  The doctor tells her he doesn’t believe her and she says it’s a good thing she’s already stuffed from the donor.

Nicole and Sam wake up from their night of grief sex.  She is acting all weird and he asks if she is okay.  She tells him she always wondered what it would be like to live like a shifter.  Now she knows, and its horrible having to hide who you are and being on the run.  Emma wakes up.  While Sam is attending to Emma, Nicole makes a call from the payphone.  Sam catches her and hangs it up.  She wanted to let her parents know she wasn’t dead.  Sam says it’s better that they do think so.  She gets mad and they argue.  Across the courtyard someone hears them fighting, Jackson Herveaux (who spent the night with the were-hooker, so we know where Alcide’s money went).


As Jason leaves Sookie a voicemail telling her he messed up and he has to fix it (presuming Jess), Sookie and Lafayette are getting prepared to summon Sookie’s parents.  He asks the spirits to help him find Corbitt and Michelle Stackhouse.  He can’t get them at first and tells Sookie that “some folks just want to stay dead”.  Then they show up.  Lafayette tells them to calm the fuck down.  Sookie tells her parents that Warlow is there and asks if they tried to kill her the night they died.   The spirits of her parents are so upset that Lafayette can’t understand what they are trying to say, so Sookie grabs his arm and hears her father.  There is a flashback showing Warlow visiting Sookie’s parents.  He tells them she is a fairy and she is very special.  He also shows them the contract promising Sookie will be his.  They tell him he cannot have her.  They will not let him turn her into a vampire.  Her dad tells Warlow to leave, but Warlow promises to come back for her when she is of age.  Corbitt’s spirit enters Lafayette and Sookie asks how he could kill his own daughter.  He says he was going to do it because he loved her and didn’t want her to be made into a vampire.  She argues with him and he comes to the conclusion that she must be falling for Ben so he needs to kill her.  He grabs her and puts her in the trunk of Lafayette’s car.  She tries appealing to Lafayette, but Corbitt tells her Lafayette can’t hear her.

Bill goes to check on Ben and finds that he has Takahashi hostage.  He threatens to kill him.  Flashback to 3946BC:  Ben goes back to his village to see his parents.  Billith says she told him not to go back, but he wouldn’t listen.  He see’s his parent’s, who are happy to see him.  As soon as they hug him he gets the urge to kill them and slaughters the entire village, except for little Niall.  Billith tells him he is destined for great things, but Ben says he wants the vampires to be extinct.  We see a vision of him burning Lilith in a cave as it said in the vampire bible.

Sara brings Burrell to the camp and tells him she is sorry that she got mad at him and she has a surprise for him.  They go into a room where Steve is waiting with some other people.  Burrell wonders how Sara’s ex husband is a surprise and Sara tells him there is more to come.  They are in a room with a two-way mirror and Eric is brought into the other room.  Burrell tells Eric that Willa came home and asks if Eric knows how Willa became a vampire.  Eric replies, “um, fuck you”.  Burrell reveals he banned Willa to the camp.  Eric is surprised that he locked up his own daughter, but Burrell says nothing can change his convitions.  Sara opens a door and there is a wooden stake waiting there for Eric to grab and he tells Burrell to send him someone to kill.  Another door opens and Pam comes out holding a stake.  Sara explains to Burrell that Pam is Eric’s progeny, thanks to Steve filling her in with the intel.  Sara demands that Eric and Pam fight like gladiators and Pam and Eric look at each other.

Lafayette (possessed by Corbitt) stops the car.  He opens the trunk and Sookie kicks him, but she can’t overcome him.  She tries to fight him as he drags her down to the river.  He starts to drown her.

End credits…

There were some crazy moments tonight!  First, a moment of silence for the three fae girls who died.  Poor Andy.  I’m guessing this is going to change his view on vampires.  In the previews, it looks like Jason is trying to join the LAVTF in order to find Jessica.  I don’t think he knows yet that the unspeakable thing she did was kill Andy’s (Jason’s partners) daughters.  Sara is still just as batshit crazy as she ever was and Steve Newlin will do anything to save himself.  Too bad he hasn’t figured out it won’t do anything to change his fate over the long run.  Sookie didn’t get any good news.  It has to suck finding out your parents tried to kill you and by possession are trying to kill you again.  Remember: never meet with a medium by yourself.  That way if they do the Whoopi Goldberg thing from ghost you’ve got someone there to watch your back.  How will Eric and Pam get out of this debacle?  It’s obvious that Eric still cares for Pam, she has misunderstood why he has done what he has.  She also still cares for him, so I don’t think they would ever really kill each other.  Hopefully they can play off each other’s instincts.

Until next week, bon chance!
