So the Authority aren't as useless as the seem to be. Just as Russell looked to have the upper hand over Sookie, Bill, Eric and Alcide with his wolves Councilman Kibwe and a swat team arrive to take Russell back to their headquarters. Sookie and Alcide know too much, and are glamoured by Bill and Eric respectively. While Sookie can't be glamoured as a faerie, Bill takes the opportunity and pretends to glamour her anyway, telling her she'll remember nothing of the night, nothing of him or Eric. He tells her that it will be as though they never met, and that she should live her life as she was meant to live it, in the sun with other human. Always the gentleman, Bill, but on the other end of the spectrum there's Eric, who not only glamours the nights events away in Alcide's mind, but convinces him he will not pursue Sookie romantically and that he actually finds her repulsive.
The morning after having returned to Sookie's, Alcide is unable to remember whether or not they slept together. Sookie uses her faerie powers (yet again she seems to have mastered them suddenly) and he remembers everything. He recognises one of the wolves from the night before as JD, and realises that some members of his pack are once again on vampire blood. He returns to Shreveport and tells JD he's stepping up and taking on the role of pack master saying he won't allow him to take down the pack. After receiving a second from a female wolf named Rikki, allowing him to challenge JD as pack master, Alcide leaves.
After having another dream about their parents, and adamant he will kill the vampires that killed them, Jason visits Merlotte's and tells Sookie about the faerie nightclub, and she demands he takes her there. He takes her to the field where the faerie club manifested, and while he can't see anything, Sookie uses her powers to find the opening and drags him inside. Inside, they find Hadley and Claudine's brother, Claude, as well. Claude tells them he heard that a vampire ambushed their parents on a bridge because he was drawn to something he smelled in the back seat of their car, a bandage of Sookie's. Sookie angrily says she doesn't believe him and tries to manifest her faerie fire, but it fails, and a group of faeries in the bar shoot their beams at her as she screams.
As Sam and Luna, somehow both still alive, arrive at the hospital, wolf-pup Emma, unfortunately, goes to the only place she can think of: her werewolf grandmother, Martha Bozeman. Despite suffering a mortal bullet wound, Sam is determined to stay with Luna at the hospital, and while Luna is less than impressed when Martha shows up with her daughter, the arrangement is somewhat timely, considering Luna is in hospital and there's a shifter killer on the loose. Sam tries to convince Andy that he should help him find the shifter killers, and because Andy is incapable of good police work he agrees. The pair return to a store that specialises in selling weapons to kill vampires, and as Andy questions the shop owner, Sam walks around the store inspecting weapons. Andy asks to look at something behind the counter and the man grabs a gun, but he is shot by Sam, who explains he could smell the owner go into survival mode.
At Fangtasia, Pam has to break up Tara and Jessica's fight, and she drags Tara into a back room, scornfully telling her that Fangtasia is her house, that Tara just works there. However, she is pleased that Tara held her own against Jessica. Jessica is approached by Hoyt as she sulks in the corner of the bar. He tells her that her fighting Tara proves she's still in love with him, which she denies. Annoyed, she jumps on him, and he then asks her if she'll glamour him, bite him, do anything she wants to him, and that he is desperate for her to do so. Sickened she gets up and leaves. Later on outside Fangtasia Hoyt lets a male vampire drain him. The vampire notices his heart beat is fading, but Hoyt tells him to keep going. As he's about to do so the men that attacked Sam and Luna pull up in their fan and shoot the vampire with a wooden bullet. He explodes all over Hoyt, and one of the assailants recognises him and proceeds to pull him into the fan, telling him they just saved his life.
Having killed Eller, the Irift comes after Terry and Patrick as they're leaving. As they run, Terry yells at Patrick for not believing him. Later on, an extremely emotional and scared Terry jumps from Patrick's car as they're driving. Patrick chases him down, and Terry tells him that they will both die because of what they did in Iraq. Terry arrives back in Bon Temps at Merlotte's and he tells Arlene about everything that happened in Iraq, that he's cursed, and the the Irift is after him. Arlene tells him that he needs to get back on his meds and that he can't leave because she and her children depend on him, but he makes it clear that if he stays with them, they will all die, so Arlene lets him leave.
Lafayette goes to visit his mother, Ruby Jean, in her nursing home. She tells that Jesus appeared to her too and wants to talk to him. Lafayette asks why she saw him, and she says that she doesn't know, that the electricity has always run through her. She then tells him to save Jesus from his Uncle.
Upon arriving at the Authority headquarters Bill and Eric have their I-stakes removed, and are toasted by the members of the Authority for finding Russell. Salome tells Bill and Eric that Nora confessed to being a Sanguinista while they were gone and she offers to go and continue Russell's interrogation, but Roman tells her not to bother as he plans to execute him. Salome seems shocked about this decision, but offers to go give him an extra dose of intravenous silver and bring him forth. Eric asks to visit Nora in her cell, telling the members of the Authority that she's his sister. While visiting Nora in her cell, Eric is unable to get her attention, as she is too busy praying and praising Lilith to notice him. Salome and some guards pass by dragging Russell with them, and Salome tells her that Russell is to be executed. They drag Russell off and Nora seems ecstatic claiming that Lilith's plans are coming to fruition. In the main chamber Russell is fitted with an I-stake, but when Roman tries to activate it, it fails. Suddenly Russell is on his feet, with a stake in his hand. He pushes Roman onto the table and slams a stake into his heart.
The pace picked up significantly in this episode, and other than the Fangtasia storylines and Terry, all of the others were solid. Andy and Sam are on the trail of the hunters, who have kidnapped Hoyt; Russell has killed Roman, and Lilith's plans are apparently coming together, and Sookie and Jason find themselves in an interesting predicament in the land of faerie's, so there's plenty to look forward too.
Rating: 3.5/5
