The
episode starts. We think, “Man, this episode had better be worth it. A whole
hour’s break is quite the sacrifice.” The show needed to start moving forward and changing the game. Did it happen? Either read on or just skip to the last paragraph, haha. Tara was so nasty coming out of the
tanning bed. Pam, just let her die! Sookie is having a crisis of conscience and wants to start remembering Gran’s
teachings and do the right thing.
Man, it’s about two seasons too late for
that, Sookie. Your character has really lost her way, morally. But hey! She turns
herself into the police: Jason. Predictably, Jason doesn’t arrest Sookie. Way
to leave your sister in the lurch, Eric. Nora is still screaming and Eric is
back. God, Pam’s body is sick. She’s
45. We know it’s an actress’ job to stay thin, but damn. Eric
thinks that Pam dug up Russell and doesn’t trust her. Pam is hurt and we feel
for her, mostly because we know how loyal she is to Eric. And we love her. We
can’t believe Andy excused the judge’s son’s ticket! Just when we were starting
to like him a little…
Sookie is getting judged hard for what she did to Tara,
but Alcide is the one taking all the heat for what happened to Debbie. Tara’s
right, there will always be someone willing to take a bullet for Sookie, even
if it’s her car. Demon Lafayette is after her, and we love that development,
because at least it’s something interesting. We got to see a little of what happened to Terry in Iraq, and so far, it's not nearly disturbing enough. Sookie is becoming an alcoholic, which is JUST what this show needs. Jessica is officially our favorite character, which is crazy, because when she first showed up, we wanted her gone. Way to do something useful, girl. She brainwashed Andy into closing the Debbie Pelt case.
We like seeing Pam's maternal side toward Tara and Eric's fatherly side toward Pam. Releasing her was one of maybe ten kind things Eric has ever done on this show. We can't wait to see Pam be her own boss now. Bill reveals that he's proud of Jessica (or at least the work he's done with her). Nora finally cracks, telling the Authorities the identity of that leader of that extremist group trying to bring them down. Fortunately, she secures Salome's blood oath to spare Eric and Bill. Meanwhile, Sookie continues to fall apart without her two men. It's pretty funny. Ern likes to change song lyrics while singing along too. Then Alcide showed up. Yesssssssssssss.
The Little Boy authority member meets the true death when a video surfaces of him feeding on humans. He's really dead, because he turned into sludge. That's the new rule for this show: if they aren't sludge, they are coming back. We actually felt bad for Tara when Pam made her kill a woman. That's devastating. Jason, Andy, and the Judge get taken to a Moulin-Rouge-y dance club by fairies. Okay. Jason is going to be Harry Potter now, since he finds out that vampires killed his parents. Okay. The Terry quest is getting interesting. Please let the Terry thing involve zombies, show. Sam's old shifter friends turn up dead.
Alcide and Sookie. FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY. We actually didn't think this was ever going to happen. We knew Eric/Sookie would happen, but this was more surprising, so it was more satisfying than that hookup. But where was our gratuitous sex scene? The one time we want it, show, and you deprive us? Ugh. To make things juicier, Bill and Eric get to see it through a window, and Bill decides to use Sookie as bait for Alcide. Things just got real. We don't know where things are going from here, but at least now we care.
Episode grade: B+
