The last episode of True Blood left Sookie looking fearfully at an avaricious Eric who could smell her fairy blood and, in episode four, his teeth drop down and he looks like he’s about to taste her. She panics and drives away but he just uses his vampire speed to keep pace and go after her.

Sookie’s next plan is to run away but that’s kind of silly – what vampire can’t catch a human running from them? When he zips in front of her, she hits him in the nose which surprises him and he says she broke it. Sookie’s response – “you’re a vampire, it’ll heal”. To which Eric replies, “I know I’m a vampire. I just don’t know who I am”. Sookie (who seems to never learn anything from her past dealings with Eric) states that she will help him figure out what happened but he’s got to do as she says which means no biting or touching. He meekly follows her.

When Eric stands at the door to Sookie’s house waiting to be invited in, you see a light bulb go off above her head – maybe he’s not faking it after all. He is constantly apologizing to her and he seems very shy and timid. She washes his feet and he looks down at her, telling her that she is beautiful. His feet are ticklish which is so unlike old Eric it’s throwing Sookie for a real loop.

Pam comes over after Sookie’s call and she’s shocked that he does not recognize one of his own “children”. The two of them decide that he will hide in Sookie’s house so that he will be safe but Pam has to pay her for her safekeeping services. She takes him to the cubby under her living room and he wants her to stay there with him. He wants to know what she is and for a minute, you think he’s not going to let her go. He goes into vampire mode and drops his teeth but then he looks very embarrassed and she leaves.

Bill is listening to Jessica talk about drinking from another man who was not Hoyt. Cheater. She’s really sad that she did it and when Hoyt is about to find out, she glamours him and he only remembers how much he loves her. That’s a slippery slope, to make somebody forget a bad thing every time you do it. I doubt these two will stay together. Once you start lying, cheating, and glamouring, it’s all over.

Tara wants Sookie to try and convince Eric that they had nothing to do with hurting him at the coven. She wants him to know that the cause of his problems is Marnie, not Tara, Jesus or Lafayette. Layfayette decides to visit Fangtasia on his own and ask for the vampire to forgive them – he’s not waiting for Sookie to intervene. When he gets there, he finds a very angry Pam who gives them one day to bring Marnie to Fangtasia.

Sam and Andy have a confrontation in the parking lot and Andy is getting out of control. His addiction to vampire blood is unmanageable and now he’s starting fights with the townspeople over nothing. He threatens to shoot Sam and actually pulls his gun out. Sam backs away and Andy leaves. Looks like Andy needs an intervention.

Sookie finds out that Debbie Pelt – her archnemesis – is alive and back with Alcide after she goes to visit him. Since Debbie tried to kill her when she was hooked on vampire blood, it’s quite understandable that Sookie does not want to be around Debbie – even if Debbie has completely changed her life. Nobody believes a convert.

Jason is starting his stud service in Hot Shot as Crystal comes in with her little magic blue pill and he takes it because he thinks it will help with the pain from all their werepanther bites. But, it’s really Viagra and he is being set up to start having sex with all the girls in the town. Even sex-lovin’ Jason is not liking this.

Eric leaves Sookie’s house and she can’t find him anywhere. Very concerned about his whereabouts, she sits at the house hoping that he will come back. Her fairy godmother appears in the front year begging Sookie to come with her back to Fairyland. As they are talking, Eric whips in from the side in a blur and takes her to the ground, drinking her blood like there’s no tomorrow. He kills the fairy godmother and as Sookie screams at him to stop, he looks up at her and tells her he’s sorry as the dead fairy melts away into dust.
