Eric brings Willa Burrell to Fangtasia!, where after more fighting they decide to go to ground at Ginger's. After a sexy, creepy interlude with the Governor's daughter (like her mother, a secret fangbanger), he tries to set up a hostage deal, but the SWAT team is able to locate them and in the fray, Tara runs off with the girl.

Testing the limits of his godhood, Bill tries to meet the Sun, and it goes very poorly. It's funny to see Bill tripping over himself like in the good old days, but it gives Jessica a right scare. When they wake up that night, he sends her to kidnap an Organic Chemistry prof that was instrumental in synthesizing TruBlood, because he has a great idea: Make a faerie version, which will give not only him but all vampire kind ultimate immortality. Sookie turns him down as a donor, but right on time he learns about Andy's daughters, and makes a very creepy child-snatcher face.

Still waiting for Warlow to attack, Jason's million head traumas (or something worse) keep him in bed for the day -- even after Bill knocks him around a bit -- but it's only after Niall discovers that the entire Fae outpost was massacred by Warlow, and then brings Ben home, that things start to move. It's not Warlow that turns up that night, just as Jason's finally hitting the floor with something serious: It's Nora, hunting for Warlow on her own after discovering that secret in the Bible about him. (She doesn't explain it, but it has to do with Lilith/Warlow being the Harry Potter/Voldemort of vampires, I think.)

As we'd hoped, the Vampire Death Camp is partly under the supervision of Sarah Newlin, who has clawed her way back up out of the scandal of her gay fanger husband through book deals and eventually politics. We don't see much of them, but it's nice to see them fighting again.

The VUS -- and wow, Nicole is actually the least horrible one! -- tosses themselves well-meaningly into the middle of Alcide's Pack, which predictably enough gets them all killed like they deserve. Sam takes advantage of the chaos to kidnap Emma back, and ends up grabbing dumb Nicole too. Perhaps this entire season they will just keep kidnapping that poor kid back and forth and we won't actually have to worry about weres or shifters at all. Oh, except for Lafayette declares his allegiance to Sam for being such a nice straight white man to him all these years, because the show does not know what to do with Lala at all anymore besides use him to give cookies to people for doing shit they should be doing anyway.

So that's the state of things: Nora may be joining Team Niall, Jessica and Bill are going to kidnap the Bellefleur Pre-Teen Sensations, Jason is having a brain situation, Lafayette has declared war on werewolves because Sam doing it just wasn't stupid enough, and Sarah Newlin is right where she should be: In fucking charge.
