True Blood Recap & Review 5.9: Everybody Wants To Rule The World


At the vampire Authority, the group watches the news which reports that the largest Tru Blood factory in the world has been destroyed. In celebration, they feast on a man tied to their table.
Molly tries to leave compound and finds that it is in lock down, meaning nobody is allowed to leave. Eric approaches her and asks her if there is any way that they can escape.

Sookie enlists Lafayette to help figure out who the vampire spirit Warlow is, and he ends up getting a message from Sookie's grandmother: that what she's looking for she's lying on top of. Sookie finds a box of Gran's old things under her bed and as her and Lafayette search through it she discovers from an old newspaper clipping that Sheriff Bud was the one who found her parents bodies. Sookie goes to Bud's house to see if he knows anything, and Sookie reads his mind and becomes aware he's hiding something. She questions him about Warlow and finds he doesn't know anything, and then large woman hits Sookie over the head with a frying pan and tells Bud to grab her body.

At the police station Jessica tells them that Hoyt is not apart of the supernatural hate group and that he tried to save her from them. She tells Jason that she's worried something has happened to him and he promises to find him for her. Deputy Kevin Ellis finds a website that Junior frequented called 'Keep America Human', on which are videos of the hate group in their Obama masks tying vampires to posts in daylight. On the video they chant long live the Dragon and Andy is reminded of Cleetus Boathouse, a former Klansman who died 20 years ago, who went by that name. Andy and Jason wonder who the new Dragon might be.

Terry leaves home and tells Arlene that he is going to find Patrick. Arlene begs him not to go for her sake and their children, but he tells her that they have to have a fair fight, and that they're the only reason he's fighting.

At Fangtasia Tara walks into Pam's office with four boxes of Tru Blood. Pam asks her what she is doing and Tara says that they have to start reserving their stock now that the Tru Blood factories have been destroyed. Pam tells her that they will keep selling to stop their vampire customer feeding off of their human customers and puting them out of business. She says that when they run out and they'll just have to pretend they're still drinking it to keep up appearances.

Eric confronts Bill and tells him his Pro-Lilith facade isn't going to fool Salome much longer. Bill informs him it's not an act, and that he believes in Lilith, but Eric reminds him that he is a true mainstreamer, and that his relationship with Sookie is proof of that. Eric tells him that they need to escape the next day by procuring Salmoe's blood to open the security doors.

Andy addresses the press about the hate group but can't reveal too much about the investigation. As he concludes his statement Sam and Luna arrive at the station and tell Andy they went back to the basement and got the scent of pigs. While Andy appreciates their help he tells them they're in danger and that they should go home and let him do his job. Irritated, Sam and Luna turn themselves into flies so that they can wait in the station overhear any developments about the case. Later, Andy notices one of the member in the hate group video is wearing the cowboy boots Bud was given at his retirement party, and they believe Bud is the dragon. Jason and Andy break into Bud's place and Jason remembers that Bud's wife's family owned a pig farm.

As Alcide drives he has a flashback to being a teenager. He's being taught by his father what it means to be a werewolf and the importance of being in a pack. A group of young wolves, including Alcide are given the option of choosing their human or wolf side as they go forward in life, and they all choose pack. In the present we see Alcide is driving to Jackson.

Arlene opens up Merlotte's and is confronted by Patrick who holds her at gunpoint. He tells her to ring all the employees and tell them that they are closed, and that he won't kill her if she does what he says. Terry arrives at Merlotte's and finds Patrick sitting in a booth with his gun at Arlene's head. Terry wants the fair fight, but Patrick says he's wife's pregnant and that he has to kill Terry for his family. Terry gets down on his knees and puts his hands behind his head so that he doesn't hurt Arlene. Patrick pushes her away and is about to shoot Terry when Arlene stabs him in the neck with a hairpin. The two men scuffle, and Patrick gains the upper hand, but Arlene retrieves the gun and points it at Patrick's head.

While in bed together, Salome tells Bill that they are chosen to bring about a new world. Bill asks her what if he didn't want to be chose, and she tells him that SOMETHING. They begin having sex and Bill sees her as Sookie and bites her until she dies. He then sees her as Lilith, before he again sees her as Salome. He has bitten her and has her blood in his mouth.

Sookie awakens tied up in a pigpen, and she sees Hoyt lying in the one across from her. Bud and the other members of the hate group confront Sookie, and he tells her that when he was Sheriff there were hundreds of unclosed cases due to supernatural beings and that something has to be done about them. The large woman that hit Sookie, Sweetie, boasts that they are doing what is right and are taking back America from the supernatural beings, and reveals herself as the Dragon. They then force Sookie to drink some ginger ale laced with oxycontin, planning to let her and Hoyt be eaten by the pigs. Before they can put Sookie into the pen with them though, Sam, who had shifted into a pig, shifts back and takes on the hate group. Sweetie runs away, and Andy and Jason arrive. Andy pulls his gun on Bud, and when Bud makes a move at Sam with his shovel Andy shoots him in the chest. Luna chases down Sweetie and beats her. After Hoyt is taken to hospital and all the group members are arrested, Sam and Luna decide to go get Emma.

Terry has his gun pointed out Patrick, and Arlene tells him he has to kill Patrick for their family. Patrick tells Terry that the reason they're in this situation is because Terry blindly followed orders, and that he needs to do what is right. The Iraqi woman appears telling him the same thing, and he shoots Patrick. The Irqai woman says that blood has been paid with blood, and summons the Irift which appears and takes Patrick's body.

Russell decides to show Steve his wolf pack. Russell tells him of their undying loyalty as pets, and Steve laments he never had a pet. They walk into a barn and Russell congratulates JD on becoming pack master. He then proceeds to bite his own wrist and the wolves flock to him for a drop of his blood. He notices Martha there, who is holding Emma. When Martha says she'll never drink from Russell, he grabs Emma and gives her to Newlin as his first pet.

In Jackson, Alcide arrives at his father's trailer. His father is watching a horse race and Alcide asks him how much money he put on the race. When he says he's entire pension check, Alcide scolds him, but then reveals that that is not why he is there. He tells his father that he lost pack master and has been abjured. He is now a lone wolf just like his father.

At Fangtasia, Pam sees a vampire sitting on Eric's throne while feeding on a human. She confronts him and tells him that it's prohibited to feed on humans in the bar, and that only the sheriff can sit on the throne. He replies that the Vampire Authority has lifted the ban on public feeding, and that Eric is finished, and that he is the new sheriff of Area 5. He throws Pam across the room, and Tara runs to help her. The vampire tells all the other vampires in the bar to drink from the humans.
