True Blood – Never Let Me Go – Episode 205

This is a review of True Blood Season 2, Episode 5, titled Never Let Me Go. Check out episode 4 here if you missed it.

The episode begins at Marianne’s wild party for Tara. Sam follows Daphne out into the woods and finds a deer instead. The deer transforms into Daphne and Sam is shocked to see that she is a shape shifter just like him.

Sookie chases Barry the telepathic bellboy down the hall and interrogates him but he wants nothing to do with her and tells her he considers their “gift” to be a curse. He storms off and Sookie re-enters the room where Bill is lecturing Jessica about drinking human blood and orders her to drink True Blood instead. She storms off saying she will get an eating disorder. Bill then turns to Sookie and he lectures her about leaving the room and how much danger they could be in. Sookie starts to undress and try to tempt Bill into another activity besides talking and it seems to work. Meanwhile Jessica calls Hoyt from her hotel room and they chat.

Jason is woken by an air horn as he begins his Soldier of the Sun training. The cadets are screamed at and refused bathroom breaks. Sarah Newlin watches the training but takes no pity on Jason.

Tara and Eggs wake up in bed together. Sookie wakes up for the first time sleeping next to Bill and since he is asleep she goes downstairs to get the continental breakfast and talk to Barry some more. He still insists that she leave him alone. Sookie grabs some food and heads upstairs where she gets back in bed. Bill wakes and accuses her of having left the room. When she confirms she gets another lecture. He becomes angry when she tells him that Barry knows of her secret. Bill shares with Sookie that he feels helpless since he is responsible for the safety of Jessica and Sookie yet he is not included in any of the decisions.

Marianne shared with Tara that she wants to move into Sookie’s house with her and at first Tara refuses, stating that it is not her house and not her decision. Marianne follows Tara to work and causes everyone to go on attack mode with her and each other. Arlene and Daphne go at it and they all take turns taking mean shots at Tara. Tara begins to feel all alone, which is what Marianne wants. Lafayette also returned to Merlotte’s and got his job back with minimal fuss from Sam who has some idea that something bad must have happened to Lafayette if he won’t even talk about it.

Bill, Sookie, and Eric meet Isabel and Stan, Godric’s subordinates, and are unhappy to see that the Texas vampires have no idea how to get Godric back other than starting a full out war in Texas. Sookie proposes that she try to infiltrate the FotS church and read their minds to see if she can locate Godric. The Texas vamps generally don’t like this idea and Bill HATES it but Eric immediately decides this is what they should do.  A furious Bill asks Eric why he is so concerned about Godric. We see flashbacks that show Eric as a human, a Viking warrior, who was turned by Godric before he could die from battle wounds. Godric is young like a teenager with a variety of tattoos that look tribal. Eric tells Bill that Godric is his maker and Bill softens at this news.

Sarah and Steve are fighting and apparently “something” is going farther then intended but we don’t hear what that is. Jason shows up and Steve whisks him away and tells Sarah not to come along. Steve shows Jason an arsenal of vampire attack weapons. Afterwards Jason takes a bath in the Newlin’s house and Sarah enters the bathroom and locks the door. After talking to him about Mary Magdalene and Jesus she implies that she wants to give Jason a hand job. At first he says no but Sarah tells him that God wants him to have  reward and he lets her proceed with pleasuring him.

Back at Merlotte’s Sam and Daphne get busy on the pool table and Tara goes home to find Marianne reading a book at the kitchen table while waiting up for her. This is a major deja vu scene since this is often what Sookie’s grandmother did. In fact it looks like Marianne might be wearing some of her clothes too. Tara tells Marianne she wants her to stay because she feels like she and Eggs are family.

The episode ends with Bill and Sookie enjoying their vampire hotel room…
