So I neglected to write a blog on last week’s “True Blood,” mainly because I felt it was a boring and uneventful episode. The only parts I liked were the Pam and Eric flashbacks about how they started Fangtasia, and the end when everyone finally was rescued from the basement of Fangtasia.

The latest episode had a huge party being thrown at Sookie’s by the town to celebrate Alcide and Tara’s life, rather than morn their death. Of course all kinds of stuff went down there. The one happy event was Andy proposing to Holly, who said yes. Bill showed up and was nice and polite like he was in the beginning of the series, and we got to see all these flashbacks of his past. He did not want to fight in the civil war, and even tried to escape with his family and several slaves on the underground railroad. I assumed this was all being done to prop Bill up as a good guy again so he and Sookie could be together. That may not happen given the last shocking scene. We saw Bill taking a nice hot bath at his house, look at himself in the mirror, and he had the beginning veins of Hep-V! The mystery of course is how he got it. Sookie drank from him recently to re-establish their connection, so is she infected now too? Or did he somehow get it in the fight with the Hep-V vamps? Or did Sookie have it and give it to Bill somehow? Also did Bill really need a nice hot bath, I mean he’s dead, it won’t warm him up. Yes, that went through my mind too.

Elsewhere at the party, Lafayette and James finally got it on, only to be caught by a pissed off Jessica. Lafayette talked to her about how he deserved to be happy too, and he didn’t think she and James were that happy together. He said if she didn’t love him then to let him go. Jessica and Jason had a long talk, she realized Lafayette was right. Jason did too, applying it to his situation with Violet. He doesn’t really love her. Before you knew it, Jason and Jessica were getting it on! Unfortunately Violet heard them from outside the room, and now they are both screwed! That crazy witch will make them pay, that’s for sure.

Lettie May is still insisting that Tara is stuck and needs her help. She attacked Willow to get her blood, but Sookie and others stopped her.

Pam, Eric and Sarah Newland’s sister all went to Dallas to find her. Sarah’s sister is a vampire and the dark secret of the family. She wants revenge on Sarah, as she’s infected with Hep-V and her boyfriend died from it. They tracked Sarah down at a Republican fundraiser for Ted Cruz, but unfortunately so did the Yakuza who is after her. The Yakuza shot up the place, killing both of Sarah’s parents. Eric took their leader out for revenge as he killed some old girlfriend of his in Europe once. Sarah seems to have gotten away yet again.

Pam as usual had the best line in the show. Eric gave her this gaudy sequin dress for the party. She put it on and said “Oh my God, I’m a Republic#$@%! Yeah it’s too dirty to even type, but I bust out laughing.

With Bill and Eric dying from Hep-V, it’s starting to look like Sookie isn’t going to get a happy ending. I am hopeful that they will find a cure, and I bet Sarah knows it. However it’s possible both could die. Sam’s girlfriend sorta flipped out on Sam and the town in this episode for not being normal. I could see her ditching the kid with Sam and running off, and him and Sookie finally being together and raising it.
