QUICKLOOK: Eric
and Pam attend a Republican gala, romantic unions are formed and broken and Bon
Temps throws a party at Sookie’s house.
Eric cleans off his throne at Fangtasia while Willa screams
that she doesn’t want to go with Eric and Pam. Eric was a horrible maker who left her and Tara was the one
who taught her how to feed and control herself. Eric agrees that he has been a horrible maker to her and
apologizes, but says he doesn’t regret turning her and is proud of how she has
turned out. He tells Willa of
their plan to go after Sara Newlin.
She says she will tell them what she knows about Sara if Eric releases
her, so he does. She tells them
Sara has a sister named Amber Mills who is a vampire and lives somewhere in
Dallas. They prepare to leave and Ginger
has a hissy fit because she thinks she will never see Eric again. She wants to go with him and Pam. She says she’s been his sex slave for
15 years and they’ve never even had sex in any form. Either he takes her or he has sex with her before he
goes. He reminds her that he’s
diseased and she say’s “so am I”.
The next scene shows her hanging onto the outside of a coffin screaming
while some men are loading it into a car.
Sookie returns home to find Lafayette and James waiting for
her. She tries to do her mourning
ritual of cleaning, but Lafayette tells her she needs some sleep. He tucks her in and she asks him to
stay. He tells her he’ll be there
when she wakes up. When she wakes
the next evening she sees Jackson packing up his truck. She gets downstairs and finds a whole
spread on the dining room table complete with decorations and candles. Jackson comes in and tells her he went
ahead and packed Alcide’s belongings.
The hardest thing when Alcide’s mom died was going through her things so
he wants to keep them until Sookie is ready to look through them. Laughter comes from the kitchen and
Lafayette, James and Jenny (Jackson’s girlfriend) come into the room. Jenny has been cooking all day and they
plan to throw a party for the whole town that night. Sookie is taken aback that they would throw a party in her
house the day after her boyfriend died, but Jenny tells her death doesn’t have
to be a sad thing. Sookie isn’t
down with the plan, but Lafayette says they need to celebrate life because
that’s what Alcide and Tara would want.
Bill comes to the door with flowers and Sookie goes to get dressed.
In Dallas, Eric and Pam find Amber, who is also sick Hep
V. Amber tells them she was not
ripped from her family’s arms and turned into a vampire. She had a boyfriend who turned her
named Jeremy. They lived together
until he died of Hep V while Sara paid her money to stay in the coffin. Eric
asks Amber to help him find Sara.
She asks if Eric will kill her and he says he probably will so she says
she’s in. Pam definitely likes
Amber, but she says she hasn’t made up her mind about Pam yet. (Hmm, a little Pam romance?) Amber informs them Sara called that
morning looking for a place to stay, but she told her to fuck off, so she
likely went to her parents for help.
Amber says her parents won’t be home because they will be at the gala
being held for Ted Cruz at the Bush library.
Lettie Mae tries to talk Reverend Daniels into going to the
party at Sookie’s so she can say goodbye to Tara. He wants them to stay home because there will be too many temptations
at the party for her. She spikes
their dinner with Benadry and sneaks out once he’s passed out on the couch.
The party is rocking at Sookie’s. Arlene, Holly and Jane are drinking to their close call with
death. Jane even says she’s going
to clean up her life and get her shit together, tomorrow. Bill broods in the corner and remembers
something from his past. It’s
right before the Civil War began and Lincoln has called the banners. He listens to the men rally at the
local tavern about how they are going to beat the Yankees. Bill speaks his mind and tells them
they cannot win the war and the owner of the tavern (last name Bodehouse)
kick’s him out.
Sookie comes downstairs and runs into Jason and Violet. Violet tells Sookie that even though
she is not supposed to say she is sorry for her loss, she is. She has lost hundreds of boyfriends and
remembers how painful the first few losses were. Sookie is a bit weirded out so Bill swoops in to save her by
offering her some food. Jackson
reminisces about his son and how much he loved Sookie, which makes her feel
like crap. He calls Alcide a hero,
which he is. Lettie Mae shows
up. Lafayette tells her she can’t come
in causing a scene and proceeds to throw her out, but she tells Sookie she’s
sorry for her loss. Sookie asks if
Lettie Mae would like to stay and say a few words about Tara. Lettie Mae says Tara was also a hero
because she sacrificed her life to save Lettie Mae. She wants to raise a non-alcoholic glass to Tara.
Jessica is outside.
Andy tells her she should come inside, but she tells him she can’t. He asks her if she ever thought about
the fact that her torturing herself over his girls keeps the pain alive for him
as well. He says she’s been there
for Adelyn and helped Holly. He
tells her life is too short and they need to move forward, both of them. He asks Jess if there is a ring he can
borrow and she figures out he is going to propose to Holly. Sookie says they can borrow Gran’s
ring. She left it to Jason to give
to the girl he was supposed to marry.
Violet interjects she knows Jason is his and doesn’t need a ring to tell
her that. He gives a look that
says he’s not exactly happy about that.
Everyone thinks it’s beautiful, except for Violet who shrugs at it and
says, “that’s it”. Sookie and
Jason give him the ring. They go
downstairs. Jason sees Adelyn and
Wade and tells them they are going to want to see what’s about to happen. Then he pulls them aside and says he
doesn’t know if they are having sex or not, but it’s gonna have to stop right
now. They get engaged and as
everyone is congratulating them, Sookie looks back at Bill.
James tells Jess she looks happy and she says she is. He wants to leave so they can be alone,
but she doesn’t want to. Arlene
notices Sookie is about to cry so they sneak upstairs to her room to talk. Jackson listens in on them while they
talk in Sookie’s room. Arlene
talks about how she coped through Terry’s death and how she would wear his coat
at night. She says you never get
over losing someone you love you just learn to live with it. However, time and tequila will
help. James and Lafayette talk
about his relationship problems with Jessica. Lafayette asks James about the boy in his story from when he
was turned and if they were together.
James tells him they were and he and Lafayette hold hands and kiss.
Sookie and Arlene are drunk. Pete (the vamp who helped heal Arlene) has been eyeing her
all night. Sookie tells him Arlene
has been through a lot and isn’t interested in doing anything with him, but he says
he can wait. Arlene says she has
to go tinkle because she is a human.
Once she dodges Pete, Jessica stops her and asks if she’s seen James. She tells her he went outside with
Lafayette, so Jessica goes to look.
She finds James and Lafayette having sex in a car. She gets hysterical. He tries to apologize, but she can’t
believe what happened. She goes
back inside and asks Jason to rescind James’ invitation into the house. Jason asked what he did and Jessica
tells him James and Lafayette were screwing in the car she and James bought
together. Jason rescinds his
invitation and Jessica runs upstairs.
Violet tells Jason he can go after her. Lafayette asks James if he is okay and he says he wants to
be alone, so Lafayette tells him he can stay with him if he needs a place.
Jason talks to Jessica about what happened. He doesn’t understand how she could
have never thought James was gay since he is sensitive and a musician. She tries to defend James saying he is
confused, but Jason tells her if what she saw was happening then it doesn’t
sound like he is. Lafayette knocks
on the door and Jessica tells him to go away. He starts to leave, but comes back and asks her what she
knows about James. When did he
turn, who turned him, where is he from?
Does she know that, because Lafayette cared enough to ask him. He tells her to let James go if she
doesn’t love him. Everyone else is
getting married and having babies so is it really so hard to imagine that
Lafayette wants to be happy too?
(Nelsan Ellis deserves an Emmy nod for that scene!)
Willa shows up to the party and asks Sookie if she’s seen
Arlene and Sookie asks if Willa has seen Bill. He is outside having another flashback. Some of the Southerners including
Bill’s family are trying to get north.
They almost get caught by some soldiers. Bill’s baby son starts to cry. The soldiers move on and they think it’s clear to go, but
the black man leading them gets shot.
The officer wants the map they were using to go North and threatens
Bill’s life, but he burns it. His
wife saves him from being shot by the officer by standing in front of Bill with
the baby. Sookie comes outside and
talks to him for a minute. He
tells her she has done great. All
the vamps and humans are mainstreaming.
He walks her back to the door and re-enacts the night of their first
date. She thanks him for seeing
her the way she can’t see herself and gives him a hug. Sookie gets back inside and hears
Lettie Mae thinking about Willa’s blood and how she’ll do anything to get
it. Sookie looks for Willa who is
asking Arlene for a job. Lettie
Mae stabs her in the shoulder. The
vamps get ready to fight, but Sam stops it. Willa heals and the vamps cool down. Lafayette walks in and asks what
happened and Jenny informs him Lettie Mae stabbed Willa. He says of course she did. Lettie Mae tells him she needs Willa’s
blood to contact Tara. She says
everyone thinks she’s crazy because she used to be an alcoholic, but Lafayette
says they are looking at her like she’s crazy because she just stabbed
someone. Nicole says everyone is
crazy. Why are they partying when
they just went through what they did.
She says they aren’t normal and this doesn’t happen in other towns (duh,
it’s Bon Temps). Sam takes her
home and Violet goes to make sure they get there safely.
Jason tells Jessica he’s not sure Violet is the one. It meant a lot to him that Gran left
him that ring and he would’ve liked to have put it on someone’s finger, but
definitely not Violet’s. Jessica
tells him he’s the sweetest man in the world and they kiss. This of course leads to sex and
unfortunately Violet returns. She
goes upstairs to look for them and hears them, but doesn’t go in.
Eric and Pam get dressed for the gala and Pam realizes that
Eric is stage two. He tells Pam he
is going to die (no, the HELL he IS NOT).
She covers the visible lines with makeup. They arrive at the gala and look for Sara’s parents. Sara corners her mother in the
bathroom. She loads on the
bullshit though her mom seems to see through it and asks what she wants. Sara says she is in trouble and needs
help from a higher power. She asks
if Laura Bush is there and her mom tells her no. She asks her mom to call, but her mom tells her Laura Bush
stopped taking her calls when Bill’s book came out and said Sara helped invent
the Hep V virus. She tells her mom
she’s not a monster, she’s a Buddhist.
Her mom tells her to get out of there, but Sara tells her the Yakuza are
after her. Eric corners Sara’s dad
and glamours him to answer questions, but just as he does the Yakuza enter and
start shooting. They find Sara’s
dad and ask where Sara is. When he
says he doesn’t know, they shoot him.
Sara and her mother run, but Sara drops her when her mom can’t keep
up. She continues down the
corridor and straight into Eric’s arms.
He starts to choke her, but the Yakuza catch up so he kills them first
ripping one man’s jaw out.
The party is over at Sookie’s. When she gets upstairs Jackson has left Alcides jacket on
the bed for her. She puts it on
and lies down. Bill takes a bath
and flashes back one more time.
His two children are dead and he finds his wife at the cemetery. They claim to be each other’s true love
and he promises to come back to her.
He gets out of the tub and looks in the mirror and sees he has stage one
of Hep V.
End credits…
How will Violet react to Jason and Jessica? Is Lafayette’s story wrapped up now
that he’s found a new man? And is
there going to be a cure for the Hep V?
All of our favorite vamps can’t die!
Until next week!
