Ep 6.4 "At Last"

-->

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…

We come back in where Niall and Ben went outside after Warlow and Jason collapses.  Ben drags Jason inside.  He barely has a pulse so Sookie decides to call 911 in another room.  Ben looks at Jason kind of funny while he is alone with him then bites his wrist and feeds Jason his blood.  He is a vampire!  (Fuck yeah, I told Sookie not to trust him!!!)  So is he a vampire-fairy, fairy-vampire, Warlow in disguise?  Meanwhile, Niall catches up to Nora.  He asks how she knows about Warlow and she asks if he’s heard of Lilith.  She tells him Lilith is the first vampire and Warlow is her progeny.  For Lilith to die Warlow has to kill her as he did before according to the vampire bible.  She’s overcome by his fairy scent so he blasts her into the trees.  She lands next to a group of the LAVTF (Louisiana Vampire Task Force) who take her away as Niall watches.  Inside, Sookie comes back in the living room and Jason is fine.  Ben says he just woke up and must have just bumped his head.  Niall comes back in and scolds Ben for leaving to save Jason instead of catching Nora.  He claims Sookie is the key to the fae existence, not her human brother.  Sookie defends his actions saying she thought Jason was dying.  Ben apologizes to Naill and decides he should leave.  Sookie is concerned that he doesn’t have a place to stay but he says he does.

The Schreveport pack finished off all of the VUS (Vampire Unity Society) members, except Nicole who got away.  They realize she is missing.  Martha comes screaming from the house that Sam took Emma.  Alcide (who apparently lost his grammar skills since becoming packmaster) tells the pack “Emma got took”.  Rikki thinks they should have killed Sam when they had the chance.  I’m really hating her, she is pretty much the “number one bitch” in my book right now.  The pack goes on the hunt for all three.  Jackson Herveaux stands in the background listening.  I’m thinking he feels the same way I do with the look he had on his face.  Sam and Emma are still running through the woods.  Sam is carrying Nicole.  She tells him to leave her, but he won’t.  They reach a clearing and Lafayette backs his car up to get them.  He asks what Nicole is doing there.  Sam tells him to get the hell out of there and Lafayette says “you don’t’ have to tell me twice”.

Ginger, oh poor Ginger.  She is still on the phone with Burrell claiming Eric is having trouble untying the knot on Willa’s restraints.  Then a haze comes into the house and the governor’s men break down the door.  Classic Ginger starts screaming non-stop, finally causing Burrell to tell her to shut up (you gotta love that scream though).  He asks where Eric is and she continues telling him through the phone that Eric is almost through with the knot.  Poor “glamour girl” has lost her mind.  Burrell sends her to camp.  He tells his men to get the choppers up and watch the sky as the “peckerwood” will try to fly out of there.

Pam summons Tara who emerges from the sewers.  She and Eric ask where Willa is.  Tara claims they will never find her.  Pam starts the “as your maker” line, but Eric is not putting up with the bullshit.  He throws Tara down and says she will answer him.  Pam gets territorial and Eric tells her to stay out of it (aw, Eric and Pam no more?).  Tara finally tells him that Willa is at the fairground off I-20.  Eric tells Pam he will meet up with them the next night.

Terry is watching the news with Andy’s four fairy-tweens.  It looks like they are playing princess/heiress dress up tea party.  They know he is sad about Patrick from reading his mind and they also know that Terry shot him.  They laugh about it and Terry calls Arlene for backup.  Arlene explains that Terry has an active imagination and that it’s not nice to listen in on people’s thoughts.  Andy hears the raucous and comes in.  He tells the girls to go to bed since they haven’t slept since they were three (which I’m assuming was 1-2 days ago).   Arlene tries to comfort Terry telling him no one would believe them, but he still feels guilty.  It has to be hard living with the Sherriff when you’ve murdered someone.  The four fairies are sharing a bed like the grandparents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  They turn the light off and start to grow again.  They are now teenagers with boobs and decide to make the most of it before they grow older.  They plan to go party after they raid Aunt Arlene’s closet.  Jess and Bill are staked outside the Bellefleur house.  They are confused when they see teenage girls walk out, but really only care that they are fairies.   The fairy-teens take Andy’s police car for a beer run and Jess and Bill follow.

The fae teens show up at a liquor store.  Bill gets out to go inside, but Jess stops him.  She is scared that he is struggling with Lilith on the inside and she doesn’t want to see the girls get hurt.  The fairies try to buy a case of beer, but the cashier asks for the ID.  They say they are in their twenties and forgot their ID.  Creepy cashier guy tells them he can tell their age by an anatomical fact that he will gladly show them in the back.  Luckily Jess comes to the rescue and buys the beer.  She glamours the clerk into forgetting he saw them.  They think she’s totally cool.  She tries to bond with them by saying it’s cool that they have no names and asks them if they want to go party at her house.  They are wary because she smells different and she tells them she is a vampire, but she has tons of fairy friends and can control herself.  They decide to trust her.  They get outside and meet Bill.  Jess asks if they should do something with the cop car but Bill says to leave it.

Jason is doing pull ups in the doorway (he is at around 241) and Sookie is confused since he was feeling horrible earlier.  She goes downstairs to straighten up and finds drops of blood.  She does the Niall blood thing to it and it lights up pink so she knows something isn’t quite right.  Later Jason has a dream about shaving Ben.  God I love this show!  It knows when it gets weird, but it’s not afraid to go with it.  Jason has never shaved anyone else before.  Ben tells him to relax and do it like he was doing it to himself.  He cuts Ben and Ben tells him to lick the blood off of his neck.  Jason wakes up and freaks out at his semi homo-neurotic dream and checks under the sheets.

Over at Bills, one of the fairy teens goes into Bill’s office and flirts with him.  He puts some contraption on her that will take some of her blood and explains how vampires rely on blood.  He tells her to go back with the others, but she wants to stay with him.  Bill takes the blood to Takahashi, who is not happy that he is locked up in a lab.  Bill wants him to map the genetic code of the fae blood like he did with the synthesized blood. He needs him to replicate and synthesize it. Hiro asks where he got it from and Bill says “let’s not go down that road”, so Hiro asks what happens if he fails.  Bill tells him “failure is not an option”, and leaves Hiro to his work. 

Eric finds Willa at the fairground.  He wonders why she’s still there and she says she knew he would come and wanted to talk to him.  She tells Eric she is on his side and that she despises what her father has done.  She wants to know why Eric wouldn’t let her taste his blood because she thinks she deserves it.  He asks if she really wants to help him and she says she does.  He smiles that Eric smile, flies her somewhere and digs a hole.  Eric takes off is shirt for her to lie on.  At first she thinks it’s because they are going to have sex and she tells him she is” pretty much a virgin”, but he is going to make Willa a vampire.  (Lucky, lucky girl.  So jealous.)  She asks if it’s going to hurt and he says “not the way I do it.”  He tells her she deserves to be one of them and stabs his neck with her cross so she can drink his blood.  The next night Willa drinks from a donor, who Eric tips generously.  She is ecstatic to be a vampire and wants to know what they will do next.  She is disappointed when Eric tells her to go home to her father.  She is livid that he changed her to get back at her father.  He tells her he changed her so she could prove to her father that vampires are not monsters.  He’s lived a thousand years and she is the second vampire he has ever made.  He didn’t come to the decision lightly.  He’s pretty picky so she should be happy.  Pam and Tara are looking for a place to stay.  They get into an argument and Tara leaves.  Pam gets caught by the LAVTF.

Sam makes a pit stop to get Nicole bandaged up.  She is trying to reach her friends on the phone, but is not having any luck.  Sam tells her she can’t be texting people because they don’t know who is really on the other line and she finally realizes that her friends are dead. She wants to split off from them so she doesn’t slow them down, but they need to get her to a hospital.  Sam tells Lafayette to go while he changes into a horse to carry Nicole to the hospital.  The wolves catch up to where Sam was stopped and find a fresh bandage.  Rikki starts to tell the pack to fan out when Alcide alpha’s her and orders the pack to go back to Martha’s and make sure they swept everything.  He says he and Jackson will go north to look for Sam.

Sookie visits Ben’s hotel to thank him for what he did for Jason and to invite him for a home-cooked meal.  She leaves Jason a message saying she wants the house to herself for a little while that night.  She gets all dolled up in some sexy lingerie and cooks dinner with a bottle of colloidal silver on the kitchen table. 

Niall and Jason get some breakfast time together to talk about philosophy and dreams.  Niall looks in Jason’s head and sees the dream with Ben and Jason shaving each other.  Jason says he’s only had dreams like that when he had vampire blood, but he hasn’t had any.  Niall realizes that at some point in history someone turned a fairy into a vampire, and that Ben is a “faepire” (at least that’s what I’m going to call it) who can walk in the daylight. 
They break into his hotel room when they think he is taking a shower.  Niall prepares his ball of light and Jason throws back the shower curtain, but Ben is not there.  He comes out from the other direction and knocks Niall out.  He then glamours Jason (with a British accent) to forget what happened.  He tells him to go to work and complete his normal duties and not to come by Sookie’s house that night. Jason asks what will happen to Niall and Ben tells him if he wants to say goodbye, now would be the time.  Jason leans down and says “sorry grandpa, we tried”.  Ben tells him to leave and the burden will be lifted from him then he starts to suck out Nialls blood and spit it into the tub.

Andy puts out an APB on his girls with the description:  4 caucasian females, between 4 and 7 feet tall, between 60 and 260lbs, and between 10 and 50 years old.  Kevin points out that when kids go missing the suspect is usually a relative, and so it was since it was vampire Bill.

Speaking of little fairies, Takahashi is having a hard time synthesizing the fairy blood because it contains so many properties, which can’t live by themselves.  When he separates them they become sort of unmagical.  Bill says he will get him more blood, but Takahashi freaks out and says he will not work under these conditions.  Bill pins him to the ceiling and tells him he will not fail.

Burrell is pissed that his men haven’t found Willa yet.  Sara Newlin tries to get his mind off of it.  Apparently they are lovers.  You know Sara, she can’t help herself around a bigot in power.  She says she needs to tell him something, but she’s interrupted by Willa’s return as a vampire.  Willa tells her father that she’s a vampire now, but she’s still herself.  If he loves her then he needs to stop this war on the vampires, dismantle the LAVTF and shut down the camp.  Sara pleas with him not to listen to her, but he says she’s his daugther.  Willa smells the fresh blood from the cut on his hand and attacks him and Sara shoots her. 

Sookie puts the finishing touches of colloidal silver drops on the food for Ben.  He is on his way to Sookie’s, but stops and opens his trunk.  Niall is inside.  He makes Niall drink his blood and tells him to quit fighting.  Niall knows he is Warlow.  He confesses to Niall that he was the one that slaughtered Niall’s village, but he spared Niall.  He throws him into the portal he came through.

Emma is asleep and Sam and Nicole have a drink.  Sam comforts her as she talks about hearing her friends screaming in the woods.  He tells her he can still see Luna.  She died in his arms.  They start making out.  I guess that’s one way to block it out.

Sookie is waiting at the table for Ben.  She picks up the plates to put them away because he is late, but then he shows up.  He brings her wine and flowers.  He smells the food, but doesn’t seem to be phased by the silver.  Sookie watches him eat and explains that’s what a lot of cooks do.  They talk about Bill and why he and Sookie broke up.  She says he lied to her and misled her about why he wanted to be with her.  She asks Ben what it is about her that he wants.  He says they understand each other, even though he knows that sounds crazy.

The fairy girls are ready to leave Chez Compton.  Jess can’t let them go until Bill is through with them.  They have grown to be in their late teens early twenties.  They try to break through and leave and Jess gets taken in by the smell and attacks them.  Bill hears Jess’s screams.  She went crazy and drank from all of them so she’s not sure if they are dead or alive.  That’s really going to cause a rift between the Bellefleurs and vampire Bill.

Andy and Jason talk to the store clerk and ask why he didn’t call about the cop car sitting outside his store.  He says he doesn’t get involved in things like that and doesn’t remember anything.  Jason says he must be stupid or either a vampire glamoured him.  Andy asks if vampires can smell fairies and Jason says it’s like catnip to them.  Sookie only has a little and vamps go crazy.  Andy runs for the car and speeds off realizing that Bill has the girls.  

After dinner Ben and Sookie start fooling around.  They end up on the couch undressing each other.  After a minute she tells him to get off of her.  He asks her what she said and she says “get the fuck off me or die Warlow”, with a fireball ready above him.

End credits…

So of course, I have a few comments.  Can we please change Willa Burrell’s costume?  Why is she dressed like Blanche from the Golden Girls?  Will she survive in the world of humans?  What’s up with Bill, is he trying to make a synthetic fairy blood that will let vampires walk in the day as super soldiers?  Half of this crap is his fault anyway with his need to be Lilith.  What is up with the werewolves?  They are always dragging Alcide down.  Can there not be some non-psychotic weres somewhere?  All they do is hang around in a barn and try to out-alpha each other.  I miss my lone wolf Alcide, the one that would have worked with Sam to help Emma, not against him.  And what is Sookie planning?  The colloidal silver obviously had no effect on Ben/Warlow, so what will she do with the fireball and why did she have to get half naked to do it?

Bon chance, until next week!
