Last
episode Eric managed to get into Willa’s room (Govenor Truman’s daughter)
and glamour her. He plans to kill her to punish his father – and does this with
lots of creepy, sexual assault overtones that are really unnecessary. As he
moves to bite her – her thigh of course – she babbles quickly about things she
knows – including about “experiments.” Which is when the guard team arrives –
to find an empty room.
In more drama, Bill has his new, shiny psychic ability
and just saw a lot of vampires, including most of the ones we know, burning up.
He’s, unsurprisingly, determined to stop it especially since Jessica is among
those getting an extreme tan
At chez Stackhouse, Warlow makes a blurring appearance in
the woods and Niall goes flashing out after him. And Jason decides to stumble
outside rather uselessly, with Sookie following because who needs that whole “vampire
can’t enter the house without an invitation” protection from supervamp? Niall
gets his grandchildren back inside (he must be realising by now that whatever
else they inherited, intellect isn’t one of them). Sookie doesn’t like Niall patronising
Jason (oh Sookie, Jason needs a little patronising now and then) and Niall doesn’t
like Sookie not being completely panicky – but Sookie, in perhaps her first
reasonable line for the last 3 seasons, says she’s ALWAYS in danger these days
so she doesn’t really panic any more. Niall goes out vampire hunting and we’re
reminded how special and royal Sookie is. Come to think of it, lots of
generational inbreeding with the noble families may explain a lot…
At Fangtasia neither Tara nor Pam are even slightly
impressed with Eric kidnapping the Governor’s daughter. Pam wants her dead,
Tara wants her glamoured and sent home – saying it’s savage shit like this that
makes humans hate them. Eric orders them to pack up and be ready to leave – and
Tara encourages Pam to stand up to him; it seems she will for a brief moment
before Eric shouts and Pam folds.
Willa claims to not be a fan of her father’s policy
either and tells Eric about a camp where arrested vampires are taken to be
studied. (Cut to that camp where Steve Newlin is dragged in to be experimented
on). In Fangtasia they’ve packed up their things but Pam makes it clear that it’s
the bar that matters to her – and Eric, no matter how he pretends. So they
leave – and take Willa with them, much to Tara’s and Pam’s objection.
Sam and Lafayette wake up after being beaten, helped into
Sam’s trailer by do-gooder Nicole and her boyfriend, Jesse. Jesse is all
curious – Lafayette gives him sound advice on zipping that curiosity and Sam
tells Nicole to leave when she offers to help getting Emma back. Unfortunately
Lafayette doesn’t take his own advice; making it clear he’s there to help Sam
because Sam gave him a job and doesn’t treat him like shit.
Poor Ginger thinks her dreams have come true when Eric
knocks on her door and wants to join her for a sleepover (no glamour needed oh
no). Oh and he brought some friends. More tension between the gang with Eric
continuing to shout and lay down the law, claiming the coffin and keeping Willa
away from Pam so she doesn’t kill her.
