Seriously, what's up with all these shows after a 2 week break. They're just not as good as I remembered. Even so, this episode of True Blood was still great, but didn't have the zing of the last episode.
It picks up where episode 3 left off with Bill yelling at Hoyt. The issue is resolved quickly as Bill says he is scared for Hoyt, not Jessica. Thankfully Sookie cuts Bill off before he delivers another ridiculous "She is vampire." Later, they show up in Dallas with 2 coffins for Bill and Jessica. The person waiting for them tries to kidnap Sookie, but Bill of course stops him (the promo really overplayed this). They glamor him and find out that he was ordered by the Fellowship of the Sun to do it. I think it was kind of expected considering how much they played up the rhetoric against vampires.
Eric also gets to Dallas on the same night after letting Lafayette feed on him. We learn that Eric is one-thousand years old and Godric, the missing vampire is twice as old. He is the most powerful vampire in the New World, so one can only imagine what the vampires are like in Europe.
Jason is back at the Light of Day conference being the golden boy. Steve Newlin takes him out shooting paintball guns on an ATV like madmen (which they really are). Jason is so good at shooting at targets that he is now part of the elite Soldiers of the Sun. There are only 14 beds in the Soldiers of the Sun dormitory so Jason gets to stay at the Newlin's house. Jason seems to be developing a crush or something on Sarah Newlin so trouble will be coming his way.
Tara has a birthday party thrown in surprise by Maryann at Sookie's house (she's going to be pissed when she gets back). As always, the party turns into a total orgy. If even possible, this party appears to get more out of control than the previous ones with cakes smearing, and dirt eating (let them eat dirt?). After more shaking and black eyed crazy business, Maryann grows claws. I guess she is the weird creature that attacked Sookie and killed Miss Jeanette.
Daphne also reveals to Sam that she knows his little dog-sized secret. So this is what we know so far. Daphne and Maryann both arrived at around the same time. Daphne was clawed by Maryann, but didn't die and Maryann knows what Sam is. Who knows what will happen?
In the very last scene, the bellhop (Barry) brings up a guy for Jessica (lol) and when Sookie reads his mind, she discovers Barry can also read her mind. He takes off running and she runs right after him. Face palm...
IMO, the episode seemed kind of like filler, but it did connect some dots and has put the season in a certain direction. That being said, the dialogue had many good moments.
Score: 9/10
Next Episode: I swear I've seen the promo before, but it kind of looks like another filler.
