In the opening of the episode Sookie has gotten off a shot at the werewolf in her foyer. Eric leaps in front of the bullet and takes the shot in his chest. The werewolf shifts into human form and attacks Eric to get at the “V”, vampire blood, and Eric tells Sookie not to shoot so they can get information. The were gets away from Eric temporarily and Sookie shoots him in the leg. Eric pounces and starts grilling him but he proclaims that he is dead if he talks and that he would rather Eric kill him. Eric obliges after seeing his Operation Werewolf tattoo and incensed, he bites the were on the neck, killing him.
Eric then buries the were in the Bon Temps graveyard and Sookie wonders why he killed the were so fast. Sookie suspects it had something to do with seeing his tattoo and Eric explains this away by telling her that werewolves who have fed on vampire blood are exceptionally strong and would be difficult even for Eric to handle. Sookie thanks Eric for saving her life and they discuss what Sookie heard in the were’s thoughts. Eric tells Sookie that the were must have lived in Jackson since he said that word and he had a Mississippi accent. Sookie decides she must go to Jackson and asks Eric to come. He cannot go but doesn’t feel she should go alone either. Sookie tells him she will go the next day no matter what.
Meanwhile Lorena has survived Bill’s firebomb and skulks off to lick her wounds. Bill and Russell (the King) retreat to talk some more about the King’s proposal. The conversation turns to Sookie and Russell tells Bill that the surest way to hurt his human companion, is to stay with her. Bill reflects on this with sorrow because he knows it to be true.
Tara and Franklin are shown in a bizarre and confusing sex scene. Tara entreats Franklin to bite her but he opts not to since he would prefer she be unwilling. Tara leaves when Franklin starts to ask personal questions.
Jessica calls Pam to tell her that the body of the man she killed has gone missing. Pam asks her this hilarious question:
Did you call the hypothetical hardware store and buy a theoretical chainsaw?
Pam tells her that the body being gone is an answer to her prayers and goes back to what she was doing before which was something intimate with Yvetta, the Fangtasia dancer.
Arlene goes to see the Doctor and finds out she is pregnant and that she is 9-10 weeks along which likely means that Rene is the father. This news distresses her greatly and when she tells Terri that she is pregnant he assumes it is his and Arlene plays along.
Tara goes to Egg’s funeral and finds out that Sookie paid for it and is in attendance with her. They sit together and comfort each other. Sookie asks Tara to move back into her home and that since she will be going to Jackson, Tara will have the house to herself for awhile.
Bill dreams of his past and the night when he returned home about 3 years after he was turned into a vampire. His son has just died and his wife is overjoyed to see him until she realizes that he is not “right” anymore. When he cries tears of blood she becomes hysterical and Lorena shows up to chide him for putting her through this pain. Lorena lectures him about the fact that vampires who love humans should stay as far away from them as possible to avoid bringing pain and death to their lives. Bills wakes, obviously conflicted about his past love and what it means for his future with Sookie.
Sookie is cleaning the rug in her foyer where the werewolf was killed when she hears the thoughts of a man behind her. Determining that he is a were, she takes off running but he catches her and tells her that Eric Northman sent him to protect her. Thus we get our fist look at Alcide… a hunky werewolf. He and Sookie sit down to refreshments to talk and he explains that he is paying off his father’s debt by helping Eric and that Sookie will never get information from the weres without him.
Sam finds that his parents have followed him back to Bon Temps. He asks them to stay for lunch, which ends badly when his father gets drunk and his brother attempts to steal from him.
Eric apologizes to Lafayette for Pam riding him so hard to sell V and he gifts him a new sports car to show appreciation and to hint that more great things can come from their business relationship.
Back in Mississippi, Bill tells the King that he will join him and leave his life in Louisiana and his service to Queen Sophie Anne behind. After going upstairs to his room Lorena finds him and they engage in rough sex, during which Bill twists Lorena’s head completely around.
I give this episode 3.5 out of 4 hunky werewolves.
