True Blood: Best Episode Yet of Season 4!
So the show picked up at the tolerance rally with Sookie blasting Eric with her fairy powers to keep him from killing Bill. Blasting him broke Antonia’s spell, as well as returned his memory.
Antonia saw the devastation she had caused, and the loss of innocent life. She began to realize this wasn’t what she wanted. In a huge twist it was Marnie who urged her to continue, to continue using her body as a vesel to destroy “Da Wam Pyres!” Nice twist, I did NOT see that one coming at all.
Nan was worried about “image,” but Bill had enough. He wanted to kill Marnie/Antonia and blow up the entire Moon-goddess Emporium. Nan did not want that to happen, so Bill finally stood up to her. When she realized Eric and Jessica and Pam were with Bill, she started shouting “True Death for you, and you and you!” Loved it! Of course Bill vowed to turn her into the Authority to be dealt with!
Sookie told Bill that Tara and others were captives, they couldn’t blow up the place. Bill said it was war, lives would be lost, some innocent. Sookie, Jason, Lafayette and Jesus then made their own plans to rescue everyone.
Jesus decided to try and use his connection to Marnie to convince Antonia to let him in, saying that he had been gone and was now back. He had to push his way through the forcefield, invoking some “demon” inside of him to do so. Antonia was impressed! Once inside he convinced her to let him talk to Marnie, and was shocked to learn Marnie was the one in charge now. He sent a message to Sookie about this.
Tara and Holly managed to escape, they ran to Lafayette and Sookie, but Marnia showed up and zapped everyone but Jason into the compound! Uh oh . . . .
Marnie/Antonia earlier seemed interested in getting Lafayette back because of his gift, and now she has him! I’m also worried about Jesus’ demon. I can see the show probably turning him evil from it at some point in a future season.
Alcide brought Tommy to Merlotts, where he died with Sam by his side. OMG, I thought I was dreaming . . . I thought maybe it was just a fantasy, but it wasn’t! Tommy is gone! I’m sorry, but I am thrilled. His character has been a waste of space on this show. Sam however now wants revenge and got Alcide to talk about what happened. Meanwhile it looks like Marcus is making the moves on Debbie, and she’s not saying no. I’m seeing a tag team smack down of Alcide and Sam vs Marcus coming!
Finally Terry took Andy out to their childhood “Fort Belfluer” tree house in order to get Andy to face he was an addict and needed help. He then left Andy there to walk home . . . . From spoilers something supposedly happens to Andy in the woods on the way home . . . .
The show ended with a completely bad ass shot of Pam, Eric, Bill and Jessica getting out of a black van to go blow up the Moon-Goddess Emporium.
Again more great acting by Fiona Shaw.
I am a little tired of every episode this season including a serious speech from Sookie about who/how much she loves. Perhaps it’s a fairy thing, but I think we could do without it for an episode or two. My partner is beginning to wonder if the show is becoming a bit too Twilight-ish (ugh).
What’s up with Lafayette’s socks!
Loved Nan’s bit about the true death for everyone. I have a feeling she’s hinting at her own true death.
So I hope Tommy stays gone (nice death scene with Sam though), but does anyone think he might come back briefly this season a la witchcraft/ghost skin walking bit?
Kind of crappy of Marcus to move in on Debbie (although he can have her) and not admit where Alcide was all night. Not that Marcus is an upstanding guy.
Anyone think it’s possible that Marnie/Antonia didn’t have Sookie, Tara and others return to the emporium, but perhaps to another location? That way if Bill et al. blow up the place they are still safe. Maybe some red shirt witches left inside to die…
Glad Andy was confronted about his V addiction by somebody more helpful than Jason. His addiction was becoming a bit of a broken record. I didn’t even think about what he might face in the woods! (Maybe horny Crystal and cousins).
I chuckled when Bill, Jessica, Eric and Pam showed up at the end with their big weapons – Looks like the V-team showed up! Can’t wait to see what they do next week though.
Finally, I though we might see Russel Edginton this season. I wonder if he’ll pop up anytime soon.

Haha I tweeted about the socks too and forgot till you mentioned them! I was like are we back in the 80s?
I really don’t want Tommy back at all – but on this show they will probably make him a zombie.
Hmm I didn’t think maybe she took them elsewhere. All the important characters are who vanished, so they can blow it up and it won’t matter 🙂
Yes from what I understand via spoilers, Russel returns in the final episode of the season (probably the final moments). The teasers say something about someone from the past resurfacing and shocking everyone.

The previews for the next show have Sookie standing beside Marnie/Antonia and Bill getting ready to blast the place.
