Timebomb – True Blood Episode 208

This is a recap of True Blood Episode 208, season 2, titled Timebomb.

This episode starts out in the FotS church basement. Godric has just pulled Gabe off of Sookie and Godric snaps his neck in an instant. Immediately he senses another vampire and calls “his child” down to him. It is Eric. Eric kneels before Godric and Godric orders him to take Sookie and get her out of the church and not to harm any humans on the way out.

Meanwhile Jason has just been shot with a paintball gun by Sarah Newlin. He is confused about why she is angry but when she mentions that they are holding Sookie captive he pushes Sarah to the side of the road and jumps in her ATV stating that if Sookie has been harmed he will be back… and not with a paint gun.

The church is being evacuated and Eric tells Sookie he will have her out fast but she warns him that children are around. Eric adopts a southern bumpkin accent and approaches three of the church members telling them that  that Steve has told him to guard the door. One of the men notices that Eric has no stake and demands to know why. Eric glamours the man into giving him his stake but another one of the men attacks from behind. Eric quickly swats them away like flies but stops short of staking one at Sookie’s insistence. Sookie tells Eric to follow her to another exit since church goers with wooden arrows are approaching. They go into the sanctuary and get surrounded. Steve tells everyone that they will have their holy bonfire and Eric steps forward to be the sacrifice, murmuring to Sookie that he will be okay.

Lorena is still at the vampire hotel holding Bill hostage and now Barry. She bites Barry and pauses saying that he tastes different. She asks him what he is but Bull uses her distraction to hit her over the head with a flat screen TV. Bill grabs Barry and they escape. Bill stops into Jessica’s room and sees her making love with Hoyt. Bill asks Hoyt to take her Bon Temps before the sun rises.

Sam is sleeping in his truck and gets awakened by a call on his cell phone from Merlotte’s. Since the bar should be closed he has no idea who called. He goes to the bar and goes inside to see the freezer open. Daphne is inside it with her heart cut out. Within a few minutes the police arrive.

Marianne is back at Sookie’s sauteing vegetables… to which she adds cut pieces of a human heart.

Eric is laying on the alter where he is supposed to meet the sun. He is held down by silver chains. Eric tells Steve he willingly exchanges his life for Godric’s and Sookie’s. Steve refuses to honor this request and tells him that Sookie is just as guilty and he proposes that they tie her to Eric so they can meet the sun together. Sookie screams trying to get away and Bill bursts in. As he runs for Sookie, Steve holds a gun to her head and tells Bill not to come any further.

Just then Jason shoots Steve in the hand with a paintball making him drop the gun. Bill runs up to Sookie and knocks her attackers away, they embrace. Jason then shoots Steve in the head with a paintball causing him to stumble backwards and Sookie uses this opportunity to run to Eric (despite Bill’s protest) and take the silver chains off of him. Eric gets up and grabs Steve by the neck and forces him to the ground. Sookie demands that Eric not kill him. At that moment a large group of the Texas vampires break into the sanctuary and surround the humans. On Stan’s command they attack and are just about to feed on the FotS church goers when Godric commands them to stop. Godric tells his followers to stand down and then asks Steve Newlin to help him end this peacefully. Steve refuses saying that Jesus will protect him and he goads Eric to kill him. Godric interjects that he is actually older than Jesus and is sorry he missed knowing him. Godric dismisses his followers and they leave.

Back at Merlotte’s Sam tries to convince the police he is innocent. Marianne feeds Tara and Eggs the cooked heart, which they start devouring.

Back at Godric’s house Bill avoids telling Sookie where he was and only tells her he was held. Jason is praised by Godric for helping them and Eric too tells him that his previous transgressions in buying and selling vampire blood are forgiven… provided he doesn’t do it anymore. Isabel brings Hugo into the house for judgment but upon seeing how much Isabel loves him Godric tells him he can go, as along as he goes far away.

Sam is put in jail along with dozens of other townsfolk who have been getting into mischief that Marianne is no doubt behind.

Eric approaches Godric at the vampire gathering and tries to determine why he let himself be taken captive. Godric lectures about how humans have evolved and vampires haven’t and how humans are right to fear vampires. Godric tells Eric he sees no harm in treating humans as equals.

Tara and Eggs have finished their unique dinner and now have the black eyes that signify Marianne is controlling them. Marianne watches as they punch each other several times and fall to the floor to have sex.

Back at the party Lorena arrives and approaches Sookie. Bill interrupts and tries to get Lorena to leave. Sookie throws some insults at Lorena and claims she will never have Bill and Lorena attacks Sookie. Godric appears just as Lorena is about to bite Sookie and restrains her. He orders her to go and Bill to escort her out. They go outside as Lorena and cries about how much she loves him.

Back inside the house Luke enters the vampire nest and he pushes Jason away as he approaches, telling him to stay back. He gets every one’s attention and tells them he is from the Fellowship of the Sun and he has a message from Steve Newlin. He then opens his jacket to reveal a bomb with silver chains wrapped around it. He pushes the detonation button as the scene closes.
