True Blood – I Hate You, I Love You – Recap
True Blood starts off with quite a bang this week so if you have a problem with spoilers, I’d avert your eyes right about now. Tommy struggles out of the chains his father is killing him with and strikes him dead. In the process, he accidentally kills his mama too. Tommy barely blinks when his dad kicks but he’s distraught over his mother. Holy crap. I didn’t think they’d go that quick. I feel bad for Tommy but damn, they were horrible people.
Tommy panics and hauls the bodies to Sam and together they fill a van and head out only to have Andy pull them over. Is anyone else getting tired of this lame Andy is an addict storyline? He has like zero favorable qualities now. When Andy demands that Sam open the trunk, Tommy poses by the door ready to clock Andy with a shovel. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Andy to be bleeding all over the ground. Somewhere in those 60 seconds it takes to unlock the door, Tommy shifts into an Alligator to scare the crap out of Andy. LOL. The two of them head to the swamp and feed the bodies to some gators. Eesh.
In less morbid but equally creepy news, Arlene and Terry are still buzzing over the mysterious message on their walls. Instead of suspecting the baby or the doll, they believe they have Rene’s ghost in the house. They decide it’s time to call on a priest to cleanse the place. They bring the Reverend over and hey! He actually got married to Tara’s mom. Together, they sing and cleanse the place with pot smelling smoke. Nice. But that aint gonna work. A book of matches bursts into flames as they sleep. Is that gonna die out or will next week show us the house bursting into flames?
Lafayette, Tara and Jesus have had just about enough of this witch b.s. It’s time for action. Lafayette is so convinced that Eric is seconds away from killing them all that he packs his makeup and heads to Mexico with his man. They’re off to see Jesus’ grandfather who is in possession of his own powers that they believe can help them. Tara stays behind to deal with her girlfriend discovering her true identity. She confides in Sookie about liking girls over some ice cream. It’s a cute girl moment that doesn’t last once Eric wakes up and comes out to say hi. Tara flips her shit, grabs a weapon and starts spouting all the cruel things Eric has done. She then tells them both to Eff Off and leaves. Eric is shocked to hear he was capable of such things. This begins the cute Eric moments of the week.
Eric has a nightmare (although I enjoyed it because it is HOTTTT) of Godric appearing to him, forcing him to drink from Sookie. He tells Eric he is damned and cannot be redeemed for he is evil and not capable of love. Eric wakes up visibly shaken and walks to Sookie’s room. He asks to stay with her and cries in her bed over the dream. Awwwww. Eric sobbing over missing Godric and not knowing why is so heartbreaking. Eric and Sookie bond together in this episode more than ever. Between his nightmare, her defending him to Tara and his offer to leave so as not to harm her again, it’s not long before Eric and Sookie fans get what they’ve been waiting for. The two of them making out on the porch. Rejoice!
Speaking of which, Jason starts to feel not the effects of the full moon but of Jessica’s blood. He has the funniest sex scene I think I’ve ever seen on the show. He’s with Jessica and starts to replace her face and body with Hoyt’s. LOL. Amazing. That was probably hilarious to film. A tad more disturbing is Portia. She shows up to Bill’s office trying to convince him to embrace incest. Um. EW. What the hell crazy lady? He glamours her to be afraid of him and she leaves his office screaming. Good riddance.
Sookie goes to see Marnie for a reading to try and find out what she knows about what happened to Eric. She gets her reading and isn’t prepared when it turns out to be the real deal. She hears her Gran speaking to her through a confused Marnie who can’t understand why the spirit isn’t exclusive to her. Gran tells Sookie to get the hell away from Marnie so Sookie books it. How does Gran know Marnie’s intentions? And just what are they? Marnie is taken into custody so Bill can glamour her for questioning. They don’t get anywhere and Pam is pissed. In a moment of rage, Pam lets slip that Eric lost his memory and is forced to tell Bill where he is.
Uhoh. I hope he walks in on them.
Funniest Quotes of the Night:
