The latest episode of “True Blood” began with the continuation of Maryann’s orgy. Sam was about to be sacrificed when Andy arrived, shot his gun into the air to startle people. He was tackled by Terry the Iraq Vet working for Sam, who broke his arm in the process. Sam was able to run, but Maryann followed. He saw an owl so shifted into one and flew off to save himself.

Eggs and Tara woke up the next morning on the couch with no memory, thinking they smoked too much pot and blacked out. Later thought Arlene at the bar told Tara she too blacked out, but she feels she might have had her way with Terry last night.

Sam meanwhile had gotten a gun from the bar and confronted Daphne at the pond wanting answers. Daphne spilled all, explaining what Maryann was. She said some called her Calli, some Lilith. What the ancient Greeks called her was Maenid, a follower of Dionysus. However she was much more than that. She said Dionysus was also called the horned God . . . Sam said Satan? Daphne explained that when everyone’s eyes go black, Maryann is in control of them. She feeds off their lust, their anger, the fun “evil” emotions in them. She says Maryann can’t exert this power on supernaturals though. She said Maryann is angry with Sam as he got away from her and won’t willingly serve her.

Back at Merlots, Andy showed up furious, wanting to get revenge on Terry. He also told everyone he saw them all last night at the orgy, they were devil worshipers and he’d get them all. Everyone thought he was just drunk and acting stupid. Tara it seemed began to suspect something. Sam returned at this point and ran out after Andy left. Presumably after him?

Back at the pond, Maryann showed up with a black-eyed Eggs. She thanked Daphne for her service, and then Eggs killed her!

In Dallas, Hugo and Sookie were locked in the basement and he was freaking out. He ended up telling Steve who they really were in hopes he’d let them go. Steve was fuming when he realized Sookie and Jason were siblings. He left, and Hugo kept freaking out. Sookie touched him to try and calm him, then was flooded with his memories. He was the traitor, he was a church member and also set Sookie up! He claimed the vampires were just using them, he had become addicted to Isabelle, who refused to turn him and strung him along like an addict. Sookie said that was his issue, she’s not an addict, she can’t help it if he can’t control himself. She used her powers to send a message to Barry (the telepath she met), asking him to tell Bill where she was as well as Godrich.

Isabelle and Eric had a conversation about loving mortals. She knew he was after Sookie, but he kept denying it. Elsewhere Jessica and her boyfriend Hoyt both admitted to being virgins and gave into each other, making love.

Bill was trapped by Lorena through the whole damn episode, with more flashbacks of their past. Bill became sickened by her and wouldn’t kill anymore. He threatened to stake himself if she did not release him, so she did. In the present Lorena told Bill the whole reason she was here was because of Eric, he was after Sookie, and she was brought in to get Bill back. Bill again told her that she released him long ago and he would never love her. Suddenly Barry showed up knocking on the door with Sookie’s message. Eric, next door, heard it and took off. Someone else then grabbed Barry and pulled him into a room!

Back at the church, after doing the deed, Sarah told Jason that they would have to tell Steve what they did. She said she now knew what real love was, that hopefully God would forgive them for what they’d done one day. Steve had his hulk of a bodyguard kidnap Jason and take him off to the woods to be killed for coming here with his sister to infiltrate them. Jason couldn’t get a word in to explain, as Steve had made up his mind about him. Jason got away from Gabe though and ran off.

People began arriving to the church for the lock-down that night, which was to end in the morning with the vampire sacrifice. Steve grabbed Sarah and said they had to talk about Jason. Next thing we know, Sarah shows up in the woods where Jason is walking and shoots him straight in the chest!

Back in the church basement, Gabe shows up feeling like Sookie and her brother shamed him. He went to rape Sookie when Godrich showed up to save Sookie.

My Thoughts
So I think it’s safe to say Jason isn’t dead. They aren’t killing their main sex-symbol off the show. What was up with Sarah? I’m guessing Steve told her his suspicions that Jason was a sympathizer and trying to infiltrate them with his sister. Was she feeling like she was used and shot him out of anger? Or is she maybe trying to fake his death? I’m gunna guess perhaps the later? Otherwise it’s going to take a vampire’s blood to save Jason at this point given those wounds.

I have to admit through out Sam and Daphne’s I just wanted him to shoot her. But for him to do so would have tainted his character. She got hers in the end though, double-crossed by Maryann!

I keep waiting for Tara to smarten up and put all the pieces together. It’s clear Eggs is too fart lost (or dumb) to figure things out. I have seen the spoilers, so I do know what is coming, and it looks good!

Hugo being the rat was an interesting twist I didn’t see coming at all. Will Isabelle spare him or condemn him as a traitor? I think Hugo is a goner myself.

I’m still confused as to Steve’s plan. I just feel like a vampire is helping him, and Eric accused Godrich’s right hand man Hank of betraying him. However it seems like both Hank and Isabelle are innocent at this point, with Hugo being the rat. Still, Eric seems perplexed as to how someone as powerful as Godrich was taken. Was Godrich taken? He didn’t exactly seem to be imprisoned or chained up when he came to Sookie’s rescue. Is he in on it? Is he setting up Eric to offer himself as a sacrifice in his place as shown in the previews? Are Godrich and Steve setting up a war for their own purposes and gains?
