So, Tara has rescued Sookie from the King’s clutches. But Sookie won’t leave without Bill, who’s been tortured by his maker Lorena. Now Sookie impales Lorena. It’s a disgustingly bloody scene. Sookie is bleeding from Lorena’s attack; Bill is covered in wounds; and Lorena’s guts area spilling all over the slave quarters. Tara and Alcide urge Sookie to get away, but Debbie and Coot try to stop them. After a heated argument and struggle with his ex, Alcide kills Coot. Dashing off in his truck, Alcide kills one of the pursuing werewolves. In the back of the truck, Sookie hopes to save Bill by giving him her blood. It rouses a passionate rage to feed on her. When Tara later finds out, she throws Bill into the sunlight (he sizzles but doesn’t burn), and rushes a ravaged Sookie to the hospital. There, the doctors are puzzled to find Sookie has no blood type and responds violently to type O.
Sookie has fallen into a coma and dreams of a mysterious woman named Claudine, who takes her to a fairy world where scantily dressed men and women dance around a pool nearby a cemetery. When she drinks from the bright shining pool, Sookie says it’s the best thing she’s ever tasted. Then suddenly darkness descends on the fairy glen. Everyone dives into the pool, screaming and yelling that they have never seen a vampire before. Begging her to join them in the pool, Claudine warns Sookie never to let Bill “steal her light.” In the hospital, Jason has allowed Bill to give Sookie a transfusion of his blood. She comes to and screams at the sight of Bill!
Meanwhile, Eric cannot get Queen Sophie-Ann to say why she is so interested in Sookie, but draining her human lover, Hadley, gives him all he needs to know. Hadley whispers in his ear so we can’t hear. It should be obvious by now, though, that Sookie’s a fairy, just like Claudine. The Magister has been unsuccessfully torturing Pam in the basement of Fangtasia. Sophie and Eric arrive, admitting that they sell vampire blood. Then Russel walks in disavowing any allegiance to the Vampire Authority that the Magister represents. He even decapitates the Magister, after he wed Russell and Sophie under the threat of death. For his part, Jason is still dreaming about Crystal. “Never really thought I was smart enough to get depressed,” he sighs to Hoyt, who is still hurt about Jessica. And Sam finally convinces his brother Tommy to quit dog fighting for their parents.
We’re just halfway through the season, so I wonder what else is going to happen, as saving Bill from Russell’ Edgington happened toward the end of Charlaine Harris’ novel. Quite a few changes have been made to the original plot. The fanatical Fellowship of the Sun hasn’t returned. Eric hasn’t saved Sookie’s life by sharing his blood, and they haven’t shared an intimate moment. Bill merely ravages Sookie on his mad feeding frenzy, but hasn’t raped and mangled her. I’m not sure whether Tara killed Franklin, as the series keeps changing how vampires die their final death, but her whole subplot is new to the show. Overall, though, I find the season engaging enough even if it’s not always breathtakingly fascinating – what with all the distracting minor characters. Let’s see what will happen in the second half of the season.

Can't say I really enjoyed this episode, I only enjoyed the bit with Russell and co with the magister. I hope Franklin's not gone yet, I missed his pizzazz in this episode.
