If last week's episode was slightly filler, this episode certainly qualifies as filler. There were a few revelations, but overall, the story was absolutely nowhere. Nonetheless, the dialogue was priceless at times, and the tone was nice. I liked how the writers tried something new in this episode. The order of the plot doesn't really matter, so I'll just write up the things we learn and explain them.
No one else knows that Barry the bellhop can read minds, and he can't block out thoughts like Sookie can. She keeps trying to talk to him and he keeps running off. We learn that Daphne knows Sam is a shapeshifter is that she is one herself. She turns from a doe back to a human, so we know she's not lying, but I'm still thinking Mary Ann the crazy claw lady still has something to do with it since she's not dead after being mauled.
Lafayette comes back to the bar dejected and empty of swear-infused retorts. He doesn't tell Sam anything and just works. Godric is Eric's maker. It turns out that Eric was a Viking (how awesome is that?) and before dying, Godric turned him. I think it might be at this time that Eric went gay.
Mary Ann actually doesn't that big house she lives in and now wants to crash with Tara in Sookie house. Tara tells her she can't do that, but then Maryann shows up outside the bar and does some crazy tricks so that everyone gets mad and eventually yells at Tara. Tara is all messed up and lets Mary Ann stay.
Eric, Bill, and Sookie meet with Godric's lieutenants and has one the stupidest conversations ever. Stan wants to kill the Fellowship of the Light and Isabel wants to wait. Eric is having a temper tantrum and Sookie is interjecting with stupid comments until she suggest she infiltrate the Fellowship of the Light to find the truth. They kind of agree on it, so now they have a plan relying solely on Sookie (good idea...).
The Light of Day silliness continues with Jason outperforming the other losers. Steve shows him a little storeroom of all these weapons used to potentially kill vampires. When Jason is in the tub, Sarah Newlin comes in and puts her hands under the water. Well you get the idea... The episode ends with Bill's maker showing up in front of his hotel room.
Score: 9/10

I agree. The conversation with Godric's lieutenants was so stupid! And kind of boring, too. Sookie is annoying me I wish she would act like her old self; she seems different lately. It was a pretty good episode overall (even though it was just a filler episode) but I hope the next episode is more exciting. Eric is sexy though, I'm glad we figured out more about his past and his maker!
