KARAOKE

And over on Bourbon Street, they have done some massive damage. Suddenly, a drop of blood falls from heaven onto the stage, which is now an otherworldly pool of blood, and up from the floor rises Lilith, naked and covered in blood, and she walks around looking at them and making little dragon noises, breathing a blood mist -- and remember, these people are high as shit on drugs made out of God, so grain of salt -- and delighting in how crazed everybody is. And that's kind of amazing, but then Godric shows up to fucking ruin everything and keep Eric from falling under the spell -- in fact, she seemingly disappears (or was never there in the first place). Telling him to save his sister, before she embarrasses the entire family.

Note, please, that no such angel ghost is visiting Bill Compton today.

NEXT WEEK

The vampire war starts, hopefully. We get to the bottom of whether Lilith is even here or not, because if she is and Eric just can't see her, that would be a pickle indeed. Hoyt probably shows up at Jessica's and gets his pretty face mashed some more. Tara and Pam do whatever they're gonna do. Terry comes home for a séance to get this ifrit off his back, courtesy of Lafayette... And Sookie, I'm guessing, fails to deplete her luminescence after all.
