Just as Eric and Mac are about to escape, with a drugged Nora in tow, Bill appears. But not to come with them. He’s turned on them. Salome and the guards are waiting at the exit. Ooooh Bill.

Who knew you were just as boring evil as good!

friendship bracelet RETURNED!

Alcide

HAHAHHAHAHAHA. Flashback Young Alcide and Debbie, being taught about werewolf life by his papa.

HAHAHAHAHAH EYEBROWS

It’s very mystical and about the importance of the pack and such. But it’s no Hogwarts. Did Alcide and Debbie fall out of the pack when Debbie got on the V, or before that? Isn’t JD’s pack a different one than the one Alcide and Debbie joined as teens? Can anyone break down this timeline for me?

Anyhow, Alcide is driving to Jackson – to reunite with his dad. His pops is now an abjured (kicked out of the pack) washed up old drunkard and gambler. Alcide claims to be nothing like him, besides the abjured part, but he’s still visiting for some reason that is as yet unclear.

Terry

Arlene doesn’t want to trust this ghost – after all, the last one tried to steal their baby. Terry knows what has to happen though. He’s going to offer Patrick a fair fight.. to the death!!

Patrick is not so much on board with the fair fighting idea. He has kidnapped Arlene and holed up with her in Merlotte’s. I guess this is so we don’t feel as bad when Terry kills him. Actually, that’s probably not what it’s about, since Patrick makes a big deal about his pregnant wife. Who we’ve never heard of before, and I doubt exists, at least in pregnant form.

Patrick points the gun at Terry, but as he’s about to shoot, Arlene’s stabs him with her hair thing! AWESOME! They then fight, and Patrick gets the better fof him. Again, Arlene comes to the rescue and has the gun at Patrick’s head. Bosss.

Terry is about to kill Patrick when the Iraqi woman appears and tells Terry to do what’s right.

two wrongs make a right, and two murders make a curse go away. it is known.

What’s right in this case, is killing Patrick. Terry shoots him in the head, and then demon Ifrit comes and noms up the Patrick evidence. Yay! This useless storyline appears to be complete!

Pam & Tara

Fangtasia is also dealing with the fallout from the Tru Blood bombings. (ALSO TARA CALLED PAM A BARBIE PROVING THEY REALLY ARE READING MY RECAPS!)

Bank of Boston Beauty Queen Barbie. (look it up and listen!)

McWeanis
About

first thing's first: the origin of "mcweanis."

It is not because I have a giant weanis (look it up) although it is usually unusually bulbous and crusty.

it is in fact because as a child i was dubbed Weanie (it rhymes with my first name, because i'm awesomely named)  by my older sister Drunk, which my friends co-opted and which eventually evolved into weanis and finally mcweanis or MC weanis depending on how gangster i am at the time.

i am a huge nerd of all kinds, especially tv, books, and school. i'll be going to harvard law school in the fall cause i'm so SCHMANCY! i plan to put my excellent time management skills to work in balancing my courseload and my must-watch-tv-load.

    Steve’s homosexuality seemed to come out of nowhere and become a convenient plot point, but what would be an interesting twist is if his thirst for power would supercede his flexible sexuality. We know Steve loves power more than anything and being RE’s boy toy would come with some hefty perks. I’m looking forward to the eventual Steve/RE double-cross because it is so clearly going to happen.

    I do like the fact that they touched on the fact that Tara is still ignoring texts from Sookie and Lafayette. In another storyline that would make logical sense, why not have Tara and Pam eventually fall in love? We know Tara dabbled in lesbianism when she joined the fight club and Pam is gay, so why don’t they start to find their way to each other? I always thought that was where the story was going to go, but I feel that is a beat that has been dropped.

    Sweetie running in the bunny slippers and red kimono from a chasing Luna was the best scene of the season. It was pure comedy and both actresses were committed to the ridiculousness of the situation.

    So glad the Ifrit story is over.

    Great recap, McW. I found the multiple storylines irritating as well.

    “Dead folk! Why ya’all gotta be so cryptic? It ain’t cute!” I loves me some LaFayette. Nelsan needs an Emmy.

    Why couldn’t Sookie zap her bonds? Her powers are gone that quickly??

    And we need more naked men. Bring Alcide’s butt back! He’s not the greatest actor but the rippling muscles make up for it..

    I don’t think Steve’s homosexuality came out of nowhere. There were plenty of hints when Jason was with his group that he was closeted. He was always interested in Jason and the Newlin marriage was established as sexless by the time Jason fooled around with Sarah so him coming back as a gay vampire made complete sense. Plus, the closeted televangelist stereotype is totally in Alan Ball’s wheelhouse. I’m sure the actor was playing Steve as closeted even when the character was still alive.

    Pam, on the other hand, is bisexual but clearly and utterly in love with Eric. That’s where her loyalty will always lie. Pam/Tara as a couple is more likely a next season storyline, if it happens at all. This season was about Tara accepting her new fat and Pam pining for Eric.

    As for Alcide, the Shreveport pack is a new pack for him. He was raised in the Jackson pack. But if my old nature special viewing is still accurate, the Shreveport pack wanted him to become packmaster because he killed Marcus and that would indicate that he’s the new alpha. But even when they were all in Mississippi he said he’d left his pack voluntarily and has always been more of a “lone wolf.” Debbie’s the one who wanted a pack.

    I thought the exact same thing McW, “Pigs eat people?”

    Good work explaining Vallegirl, I am in the middle of the tenth book (I think), so I am getting my story lines mixed up and so this was helpful in straightening them out.

    @Vallegirl, call me stupid, but I honestly never really picked up on the subtext of Steve being in the closet back in Season 2. But your explanation makes perfect sense.

    I loved this episode!!!

    I could not be happier the Terry/Patrick storyline is over. My sister actually liked it and tried to talk about it with me and I basically said, “frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”, except not in so many words.

    Lafayette was in fine form in this episode!

    I’m a little disappointed you didn’t include the fight between Luna and Sam. The plot point of her dying wasn’t dropped, she was never actually dying, SkinnWalking is very stressful on the body and Sam even says his brother died from it but Luna points out Tommy was beaten to death. It was also significant because once again Sam insisted Luna sit pretty while he handled the Obamas. Not only did Luna not take that nicely but it led to the most spectacular and funny declarations of love possibly ever! It’s rare to call someone annoying and sexist in the same debate the person tells you they’re protecting you and they live you.

    I loved the flashback but I wonder what’s the point of choosing Pack if it has led to both father and son being abjured.

    Jason was also in fine firm with his dopey comment about the masks and telling Andy what an awesome cop he is!

    I also didn’t understand why Elijah was all of the sudden in charge of Fangtasia, I was under the impression it belonged to Eric. Hopefully he gets staked soon and Eric will return.

    Makers don’t usually sleep with their children once they’ve made them, though children will sleep with other siblings. I’d be surprised if they put Tara and Pam together like that, as Pam pointed out just because they fed on a bitch together doesn’t make them friends. There’s no love there and I’d be surprised if they turned them into a couple, that is not something I’d be a fan of because Pam is so awesome and Tara is so annoying.

    All I have to say about Bill is he’s a tool. I don’t care if he has some unknown secret motives and is really playing both sides, he is no Severus Snape (hehe!). Actually he’s no Harry Potter either, being Salome’s Chosen One and all. He loves the attention and that makes it bad no matter what. I hope he gets his time in the sun…See what I did there?! lol!

    I loved the song at the end and was randomly shouting at various times during the week since.

    OMG Moment: Did anyone rewind the previews for the next few episodes (WAHHH) and then pause it various points?! Because I totally did and I caught Jessica and Jason in a the dirt together, cuddling…baby vamp and maker-style O.o What is the meaning of this?!?!?!
