This episode opens with a very disgusting and bloody scene as Bill Compton is attacked by werewolves and he kills them one at a time, biting ears off, ala Mike Tyson. The King of Mississippi interrupts before Bill can get to the pack leader, Cooter. Bill expresses his anger that the King has had him abducted but the King nonchalantly requests that Bill join him at his home to discuss the reason for the abduction. Once there Bill is shown to a very nice room with silver doors that will prevent him from escaping.
Sookie and Jessica travel to Fangtasia to see Eric about the Operation Werewolf symbol they found on Bill’s abductor. Eric implores Sookie to be careful and not to go messing with werewolves and risk her life. Sookie begins to cry, which unnerves Eric, and she begs for his help. While this is going on, Jessica is grilling Pam about what one would do with a body if they accidently kill someone. After Sookie and Jessica leave, Eric has a flashback memory of himself and Godric hunting down werwolves in World War II.
Lafayette interrupts Tara before she can swallow enough pills to kill herself. He takes her from her mother’s home and opts to look after her himself. On the drive home he tells her he has something to show her. He takes her to a mental institution to visit his mother and show Tara the kind of thing that runs in their family and what they have working against them if they are not careful.
Sam awakes in his van to see Tommy with a gun in his face. Tommy brings him inside and after a few moments the Mickens realize that Sam is the son they gave up for adoption. They explain why they gave him up and how they hoped he would have good life. He relates that his life was good until his first shift. Later he and Tommy go for a run together but Tommy lures Sam in front of a car and Sam in nearly killed.
Sookie sees a werewolf outside of Merlotte’s when she goes to work. She and Terri chase him into the woods but he disappears. Terri gives Sookie a gun for protection.
Jessica calls a hardware store to rent a chainsaw to take care of the body in her basement that is now beginning to stink badly. When she returns from the store, the body is mysteriously gone.
Bill and the King sit down to a fancy dinner (blood bisque, blood gelato) during which the King tells Bill he wants him to be a Sheriff in his state and that he wants to marry the Queen of Louisiana to broaden his territory. The King feels the Queen could be made to change her mind with Bill’s inside info. The King also states that he knows Bill is still working for Sophie Anne and that his life in Bon Temps might in fact be part of that work. The King also threatens Sookie, which infuriates Bill.
A man breaks into the Compton house and searches through Bill’s belongings to find a “Sookie file” with info and photos about Sookie from the time she was a small child. This revelation, as well as the King’s words, lead us to believe Sookie may have been an assignment rather than a chance meeting.
Eric shows up at Sookie’s house to relate what he wouldn’t tell her before and that the man he was searching for in WWII, who leads this particular wolf pack and feeds them vampire blood, is a vampire. Eric playfully attempts to seduce Sookie into letting him into the house but Sookie is not swayed. She is confused by the sometimes awful and sometimes decent, helpful Eric.
At Merlotte’s, the vampire who broke into Bill’s home is shown to be a new vamp in town, Franklin Mott. He meets Tara in the bar and assists her in beating up some racist rednecks in the parking lot.
Andy and Jason go to a possible drug bust and Jason takes the suspect to the ground.
Lorena makes an entrance at the King’s dinner party which further infuriates Bill. He tosses a lantern at her and her body is engulfed by flames. Bill smiles eerily.
Back at Sookie’s, Eric senses danger inside Sookie’s house and demands to be let in NOW. She invites him in and they find a werewolf in the foyer. The epsiode concludes with Eric poised to attack and Sookie firing a single shot from her gun.
I give this episode 3 out of 4 bloody werewolf ears.
