Bill fulfills the conditions of the tribunal’s sentence, although he and
Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) find that Jessica doesn’t quite turn (out) as
expected. Trying to solve the mystery behind her most recent vision,
Sookie heads to a pie shop with Sam and later puts the squeeze on a
philandering police officer to get info. Jason helps clean up Amy’s
mess, worrying about their future, but unable to break away. Tara’s
anger over Lettie Mae’s refusal to bail her out of jail is tempered when
Maryann Forrester (Michelle Forbes), a wealthy “social worker,” comes
to her rescue. Disgusted by the hypocrisy of a vamp-bashing state
senator, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) decides to pay him a visit on the
campaign trail. In Bill’s absence, a vulnerable Sookie finds comfort in
Sam. A distraught Jason finds himself in hot water with Bud (William
Sanderson) and Andy (Chris Bauer), again.
