Freak Franklin has taken Tara to King Russell. He argues with Talbot over her (and finally I get to see Talbot’s fangs – he was human in the novel). When Bill walks in, Tara begs him to rescue her, but he dashes her hopes. Franklin gives Russell the files on Sookie that he found in Bill’s house – and informs him Sookie is actually already in Jackson. Then Viking vampire Eric arrives, requesting to hunt for Bill Compton, who he still blames for dealing vampire blood. Russell pretends not to know who or where Bill is, but when he walks in, Bill turns the tables on Eric. However, the King offers that he may know a solution to all their advantage dealing with the Magister, who he considers a relic of older days. Remember that Russell has been feeding his own blood to werewolves for centuries – and intends on usurping Queen Sophie-Ann’s realm. During the daytime, Tara tries escaping, but is caught by one of the King’s werewolves. That night, Franklin is inconsolable. She tries to calm him down, saying that it’s the other vampires she’s afraid of and that she has human needs, such as food. Franklin offers to turn her into his vampire bride – leaving Tara petrified.
Bill scoffs at the files Franklin brought to the King, but Russell suggests that he has been tracing Sookie’s family tree in hopes of finding other telepaths – something that apparently has something to do with Bill’s human past. Then the werewolf who caught Tara interrupts their conversation and later taunts Bill that Sookie is sleeping with a were right there in Jackson. When Talbot leads Eric around the mansion, Eric notices a crown. In an fascinating flashback we learn that Eric’s human father was killed by werewolves on the order of a dark, hooded figure. Eric has sworn to avenge his father’s death. For her part, Sookie wakes up in Alcide’s apartment to the sound of Debbie’s angry voice. She’s warning Alcide not to tell anyone about the King’s appearance at Lou Pine’s. The were has to drag his hot-tempered ex out when she sees Sookie – but not before the telepath has probed her mind about Bill, to no avail. Sookie has only one option left, to find Russell, but Alcide must first confer with his packmaster Colonel Flood. The packmaster let’s Alcide know that Russell has had werewolves at his behest for centuries. Sookie catches that the Colonel is too scared to do anything against the vampire king. Later Bill arrives to warn Sookie about Russell. Before he can convince her, however, the King also arrives. When a were tries to grab Sookie, she suddenly bolts a flash of light at him to the King’s great delight!
Back in Bon Temps, Sookie’s brother shows up for his first day at the police station to everyone’s consternation. Andy Bellefleur just doesn’t have work for him, other than filing documents and answering the phone. Jason still needs to pass his physical and written exams. Eventually, Andy lets Jason wash the police cars. Then the blonde from Hotshot drives by and Jason chases her in one of the cars. He asks for his license and registration; she just laughs – Jason is shirtless, has no badge or gun. He introduces himself, asks her name, and invites Crystal to Merlotte’s. She refuses. That night, though, Jason finds her outside the bar and persuades her to go for a walk. They evidently bond, but she has a secret she dares not share with him. They’re adorable! Meanwhile, there’s trouble in Sam’s birth family, but no one tells him what exactly, but his father and brother keep fighting. Lafayette is approached by his mother’s male nurse, ironically called Jesus, who has a crush on him. Jessica learns to charm humans, but is jealous when she spots Hoyt with a new date. There are still too many distracting plotlines, but overall the episode was entertaining enough. The season is starting to shape up nicely with sufficient promise interesting developments.
