So last night I made it a point to sit and watch “True Blood” with no distractions so I didn’t have to watch the rerun the following day. Of course I picked the wrong episode, because several times I had to get off the couch and walk away, while at the same time screaming “GROSSSSS!” Definitely an action packed episode though!

Almost everyone had descended on Russell’s house in this episode. Sookie was brought in, and with Bill no longer needed, Russell ordered Lorena to kill him. Eric also was still around, as he had finally found his parents’ killer in Russell and wasn’t about to give his revenge up.

Through most of the episode Bill was all tied up on the floor and Lorena was cutting into him and making him suffer, while he just begged her to do it quickly. Bill brought up Lorena’s maker, how he was the one who turned her truly evil, how he would have liked to have known her before she was made. It at least got me interested in Lorena, as well as feeling a tiny bit sorry for her. Who was this guy? The name Bill said was very Eastern European sounding. I will enjoy Sookie following through with her threat to kill her though.

Russell questioned Sookie as to who she really was, or what she was. She didn’t know, but now the question is in her head. She realizes she is more than just human because of her abilities. She also learned about Bill’s file on her family. Bill has some ‘splaining to do!

Meanwhile Franklin continued to keep Tara prisoner, but she got the best of him. She convinced him that she wanted to drink from him and *bleep* him high on his blood her last night as a human. Watching Tara tear into him, that was the first time I had to walk away. Watching her bash his skull in the next morning with a mace, the second time. NASTY! Of course the real question . . . is he dead?

Tara freed Sookie, and as she went to look for Bill, Alcide arrived and found Tara. For those who wanted to see Alcide naked, this was the episode!

Eric and Russell went to see the Queen, who was hilariously scratching lotto tickets to try and get out of debt. Rather than kill her, Russell proposed marriage. She accepted, but clearly it isn’t a choice she wanted to make What?!? I cannot wait to see Talbot’s reaction. I mean he goes bonkers when someone messes up the house, but his man marrying a woman? Oh that won’t do!

Russell did confide his plan to Eric that he wanted the supernaturals to unite and take over humanity. Oh and Eric pretending to swing the king’s way to stay in his good graces was hilarious.

There was a quick flash on the TV in this episode of Nann Flanigan (the Vampire Rights Woman) battling out with some Right Wing Conservative. Was this just for filler, or is this leading to something else? Could Russell’s plan tie into all of this?

Back in Bon Temps, Jesus and Lafayette got to know one another better. When they went back to Lafayette’s place, Jesus commented on Lafayette’s alter. It had a statue of Mary, as well as some other icons from other religions. Jesus knew a looooot about them, and commented on how they had to be given proper tokens and gifts. Is Jesus bringing the Voodoo back to the show? Or Sanataria perhaps? His name for Mary, though I didn’t hear it clearly, did sound like the Voodoo name for her. However when Jesus found out Lafayette was a drug dealer, well that killed their budding romance fast.

Jason meanwhile was spurned by Crystal this week. She has a white trash fiancee, who is the guy terrorizing Lafeyette with his friends. They bashed his car up in this episode, and Lafeyette and Jesus bashed in his face. She pretended not to know him when he came to her house with flowers. Hmmmmm, interesting. Jason is going to get him mixed up in a whole lot of trouble with her! Jason also tangled with the new start quarterback of the high school. He made the comment that he had his eye on him, there was something about the kid that didn’t set right with Jason. Was that a clue? Is this kid something not human?

The last real development in this episode was finding out what Sam’s family was really up to. Good call to the commenter ‘Me’ last week who suggested Tommy was being pimped out as a dog fighter. That’s what was going on. Joe Lee pimped his mother out before that until she couldn’t fight any longer. Now Tommy is stuck making the money for them. Sam took off to find them . . . with a gun. I won’t cry if Sam shoots Joe Lee, I just hope he wore some clean undies!

The previews for next week look amazing. After being attacked at the very end by Loretta, Sookie ends up in the hospital. It looks like she goes on a little out of body trip to another realm and learns what she and her family members really are. Also the shot of Bill, covered in blood, but in the sun and not burning was great!
