As usual, first a quick recap, then some quick thoughts.

In Dallas, Sarah shot Jason with a paintball gun to get revenge. Steve told her that Jason was working with his sister to set them up, and she feels him using her the way he did was part of the plan. When he found out the church had Sookie, he was over Sarah and took off.

Eric arrived to rescue Godrich, but Godrich didn’t need rescuing. He asked Eric to take Sookie and leave, but harm no one. However the church members surrounded them and began the lockdown. Eric offered himself up if Godrich and Sookie would be let free. He was bound to an alter in silver chains.

Bill and Jason both finally arrived. Bill clobbered Lorena over the head with a chair to escape, while Jason snuck into the church claiming he was on a mission from Steve. Jason shot Steve in the head with the paintball gun he took from Sarah. This distracted Steve enough to let Bill get to Sookie, and Sookie to Eric. The other Vampires showed up, ready to kill Steve and the members, but Godrich stopped them all. Godrich claimed there had been too much blood shed, and asked the people of the church if they were really ready to die for the crazy ideals of Steve? They weren’t, and Godrich said everyone should leave. Steve was still ranting as Jason told him off. Steve said Jason would never go to heaven. Jason said he’d already been there . . . when he was inside his wife!

At Godrich’s compound, a party was thrown to celebrate. Godrich admitted to Eric he could have gotten away on his own, he could have killed everyone, but he didn’t. He said the humans are right to fear them because they are scary, they have to learn to coexist.

Lorena showed up and Sookie met Bill’s maker. She and Lorena had a cat fight and Lorena was about to kill Sookie when Godrich stopped her. He said Sookie had done more than most humans had for them, he would not have her treated like this. He said if humans and vampires could not learn to get along, then basically they were all doomed. He then banished Lorena from his district. Bill saw her out, as she cried to him she still loved him and they would see one another again some day being that they were immortal.

Back in Bon Temps, Daphne’s body was left at Merlotts and the cops called, setting Sam up. Sam found himself taken to jail where half the town was as well for doing things they had no memory of doing. Andy tried to defend Sam, saying the zombie orgy people were going to sacrifice him the other night, he was one of the good guys.

Meanwhile Eggs worried as he had another blackout, he lost several hours. As Tara tried to comfort him and tell him it would be okay, Maryann served up dinner. She made some stew with Daphne’s heart and fed it to them! It made them slap each other over and over as their eyes went black and Maryann laughed.

Hoyt and Jessica made love, but Jessica soon learned that as a vampire virgin, she would always heal . . . down there. She felt she was a freak and was destined to be a virgin forever.

Back at Godrich’s, Luke showed up at the party with a message from Steve. Strapped to his body was a bomb, as well as tons of silver chains!

My Thoughts
I was just starting to like Sarah, thinking maybe she’d break away from Steve and see “the real light,” only to find myself disappointed in her. I don’t know how she convinced herself that Jason was using her when she was the one that pursued him! She’s just trying to ease her guilty conscience.

Jason once again had the best line of the evening when he told Steve that he had “had” his wife, in the biblical sense! Go Jason!

I really liked Godrich. He was creepy, yet good-hearted at the same time. It seems like no other vampire yet has that. Sure Bill does, but he also has the tendency to still kill for Sookie or lose control. Godrich was in control, I loved his speeches about how they had to get along. With the explosive ending though, something tells me that won’t happen . . . and that Godrich probably won’t be around for much longer.

I remained annoyed that Tara still hasn’t figured out that something bad is going on and it all leads back to Maryann. Even Eggs seems to finally have his suspicions that something really wrong is going on, but Tara almost seems blinded to it. I don’t like this weak-willed Tara!

Finally poor Andy, nobody believes him yet he is the only one that is right. I hope somehow he gets to be a hero in the end, and show everyone up that he isn’t just some crazy drunk.
