By the way, can Eric and Bill not sense that she’s in danger? Do they not care? That used to be such a big thing..
Andy shows up to take care of the crime scene, but with vamps running around murdering people, there’s not going to be much of an investigation. Basically, no one cares. All those seasons of Sookie begging for crimes against vamps to be taken seriously have come to naught. Andy and Sookie take a moment to mourn coroner Mike.. until Sookie remembers that he wanted to suck her toes, and Andy remembers he kept his porn and his autopsy pics in the same file. Ewww.
Sookie’s heading over to live at Jason’s for protection. Jason finally gets to use his detective skills in following Gran’s instructions: stupid Sookie wasn’t supposed to look in the box of old crap, she was supposed to look under the loose floorboard where the ancient scroll is hidden! Duh!
Jason and Sookie take the scroll to a scholar, who concludes it’s not written in any human language. This leads him to believe it’s a hoax, and leads Jason and Sookie to the faeries.
The scroll is in a faerie language, but a real old one – older than the one hundred ish years the Claudes have been alive. (“How do you think we got so good at dancing?”) They need Mirella, a five hundred year old. AKA… Andy’s lover. AKA… she’s very pregnant. Yikes. Is this pregnancy from the tryst in the woods, or from when Andy came to visit the brothel?
So, the scroll is actually contract is between Sookie’s ancestors and Warlow. For some reason, Sookie’s ancestors sold her to a vampire! Ahh! Creepy! I wonder what they got in return??
Hoyt
Hoyt’s got a new chance at life, and he’s going to spend it… oil drilling in Alaska. This crushes his poor momma’s heart, who thought he was going to move back home.

Especially after she’s protected him from Jessica:
“Had to practically stand over your hospital bed to keep that Cheeto-headed tramp from giving you her blood.”
Looks like some supes are bonding together: When Jess shows up at Merlotte’s, the place empties out except for two hicks ready to shoot her. Sam and Lafayette come to the rescue! Woohoo!

They’re especially needed, since Jess’s guards split when they stopped getting paid. Bill! You’ve forgotten your chilluns! A minute later, Jason walks in, and then Hoyt. Looks like he called an awkward three-way meeting to tell them about the Alaska trip.
And… to ask for a special going away present. He wants Jess to glamour him, and Eternal Sunshine her out of his mind. Not just Jess. Jason too. I’ve always liked Hoyt, and this is a sad move, but I can’t help feeling it’s kind of pansy. Everyone else deals with their pain, jerk.
“We’re going to miss you so so much. But you’re not going to miss us. You’re going to go to Alaska, and you’re going to start a brand new life… you’re going to make some girl the happiest, luckiest girl in the world. And she’s going to be your first love. Not me. I’m fading away. I’m going.. going…”

I yelled at the tv about how there was NO way chopsticks would pierce through someone. I can barely get them unstuck without them breaking.
But the other thing I yelled about was when Sam & Luna were so distraught that NOLA was FIVE hours away and they’d never make it………….um, aren’t you shifters? Why the hell didn’t they just shift into some kind of birds? Totally confused.
@Nikki, That’s what I was thinking. Can’t you guys shift into something that was really fast?
Then how does Sam get frequent flier miles? does he purchase his inventory via american express? I am surprised that vendor in a small town like Bon Temps could afford that.
The scene where Jessica glamoured Hoyt was so sad. He didn’t have to erase them completely from his memory. Just the hurt.
Gerard Way! My Chemical Romance!
Ok. Had to get that out.
Exactly…..I know Jess wanted to honor his wishes & shit, but she easily could have glamoured him to not remember her that way. Like only know that Jess & Jason were together and he was happy for them and just friends with Jess. That’s what I would have done
I was very impressed with the Hoyt send off. It was great to see those actors pull out the amazing acting chops to give a proper goodbye to the character (was that really the end of Hoyt?). It was also nice to see a story line wrap up that did not involve tons of blood and guts. Jessica & Jason are quickly becoming the power houses of this show.
At first I was confused by Sam’s miles on a credit card comment, but he had a look in his eyes that suggested he was kidding. Like he was trying to use shifter humor.
At this point in the books, was Bill dead? Are they trying to morph Bill into another character from the books? That whole plot line would have been so much more powerful if Bill was already dead and it was just Eric going through it. Jessica could have even been brought in at this same point.
Good grief….I feel like a BIG FAT DUMMY……X2!!
I’m sure that miles comment WAS shifter humor and it went right over my head. And I’m the Queen of Sarcasm, so double fail!
AND, I didn’t realize that Hoyt’s character was leaving the show, so no wonder she didn’t pull a fast on on the glamouring.
Me = Dork
This episode broke my heart so many times! Sooo emotional! Especially since we were short changed about ten minutes.
I live that Russell reverts back to his Eastern European accent when he’s excited and/or angry.
Sookie broke up with Bill and Eric they dealt with this in the first episode of the season when Bill and Eric felt Sookie in danger from Debbie and decided whatever it was they shouldn’t bother her but they couldn’t resist and as they left Bill’s house they were net-silvered by the Authority.
Sam will once again be the hero of this season, just like with Maryann and he totally deserves it! I hope they take out everyone in the Authority except Eric and Jess! Obviously, that’s not going to happen so I’ll be satisfied if we’re done with Nora and Salome. It was horrible to watch Eric lose Godric again.
Jason, Jess and Hoyt gave those last scenes together they’re all, it was great! And so sad. Especially since when Jess protected Hoyt from Tara he viewed glamoring as a threat. Quite the change to see it as a way out. I loved the line when he said “I want to lay my head down at night, close my eyes and not dream about you.” Seriously had a horrible teary-eyed allergy attack! I’m so sad to see Jim Parrack leave the show but I’m glad they didn’t kill him off! In fact there’s hope to bring him back since Sookie can fix glamored memories! I am happy to see this storyline finished. It’s been a long time and I look forward to seeing how Jess and Jason move on.
I’m confused with Maurella being so far along because it definitely hasn’t been enough months to be showing that much. Unless faeries have microwave uteruses and faerie babies develop really fast. I don’t see how Holly can be made, Andy slept with Maurella season 4 episode 11 and he and Holly weren’t official yet and she was all caught up the Marnie fiasco. I think the writers have lost sense of time.
My favorite line: “Whose the smart one now?”
Tara was awesome this episode! I expect her to thoroughly irritate me again very soon but I appreciate that she has the ability not to be a whiny, victimized do-nothing.
On a random note the AVL has a real website americanvampireleague.com it’s cute!
Anyway has anyone seen the preview for next week’s episode?! I’m afriad they’re going to kill Jason…Or make him a vampire, which would be really stupid because he’s the humanity on the show. But seriously, Jess and Jason in a ditch?!!! I mean don’t get me wrong I’m curious about Warlow, though I’m sure he’ll be the villain next season so we’ll be lucky if we even get to meet him before the finale, I’d love if he has something to do with Russell but I think Russell is just crazy and a totally separate issue. I hope they don’t off Claude, I like him! But anyway Jason and Jess, people are freaking out…Okay I’m freaking out but still there needs to be a discussion about this!!!
@Carol, I am on the second to last book in the series and Bill is still around but not that much. There’s much more Eric in the later novels.
Bill dies in the books?!
You spank it to Gerard Way? That’s…err, different…
Great recap by the way!
Bill does not die in the book series. I just read the most recent one. The show is so different from the book series that I consider them two entirely different entities.
I read that the last book comes out in May, I’ve read the first book in the series and enjoyed it but never really got into the rest, are they worth reading?
