Love Is The Plan The Plan Is Death (1973)

Lafayette's got Tara on Sookie's couch, pumping her full of tequila and Klonopin -- "It'll keep them thoughts away till you is more equipped to deal with them" -- when Sookie gets home. She runs into Tara's arms, and immediately gets the sad news about Eggs's murder. Tara wonders aloud how Eggs even knew he was a serial killer, since the rest of them forgot, and Sookie swallows before explaining about the visit Eggs paid her. Tara is grossed out, I mean demonically enraged amounts of pissed, but it's my belief that this is still about what Bill and Sookie did when they double-teamed Tara's own brain. It still does not sit right with me, and it's my belief that we'll all be paying for that one for a long, long time.

Tara eventually lunges, tequila-soaked, and throws Sookie onto the floor of her house, climbing on top of her and screaming about her singing Eggs's death warrant. It is an ugly scene, one in a series, and once Lafayette pulls her off -- "That's Sookie, she's your best friend in this whole fucking world?" -- Sookie says that meanwhile, Bill's been kidnapped, and therefore they are in the same boat. I'm not sure what possessed her to say that, but it's classic Sookie. Tara reiterates her main point -- "He didn't need to know!" -- which I think also reiterates mine, which is that at least Eggs had a choice. Sookie tells Lafayette to get her out of there, and they take off.

Eric paces the dungeon with Pam by his side -- wearing a short robe and flip-flops and track pants, which is always a good look for him, given the attention it calls to what we call the Fight Club muscle group, just atop the hip bone -- yelling at a Mr. Rubin about some shit on his regrettable bluetooth. Essentially, he wanted Bill brought to Fangtasia! (specifically acting as Sherriff, note, so not really kidnapped per se) but instead he was gone when they got the French place. Eric melts down way more than we've ever seen him melt down, to the point where Pam utters his name warningly several times, and finally he wraps up by telling this Rubin to find a day person to get it done, or he'll be killed.

"You're losing it," Pam offers, and he gets snippy with her. He really is out of control, even for a normal person but absolutely for His Iciness. My theory is that this is because Sookie is flipping out and he can feel it, although the V-selling is another compelling reason for him to be scared of fucking this up. Pam suggests he call the Queen immediately, since Bill is her special person and also knows about the V scheme she's running, and furthermore points out that it's not just Eric's ass. He refuses to call Sophie-Anne, and Pam's like, "Fuck it, I'm going to ground." No! We just got you back and as a regular! We have all the time in the world for lesbian weirdness, Pam! Don't go!
