(Bill(narrating; off-camera): I pleaded with him not to go. (Hoyt gives up.) (In the present, Bill is still holding the toaster by his fireplace. (Jason leans over to Tara, and she giggles.) (Jason, still going at it with Randi Sue, reaches out with open arms to Tara, who instead empties the bag of garbage on Jason and Randi Sue, and walks away.) (Sam looks at Sookie, and takes another sip of his coffee.) (The Mayor sighs.) (The Sheriff and Andy Bellefleur get into the police car as Bill watches them from the parlor window, taking off his suit jacket, and tossing it on the arm of the sofa. (The rednecks find seats. And her fangs are exposed. Bill continues to stare at the strange scene, until he is jolted back into reality by the Sheriff. Bill remains for one last look at his family, then turns to join Lorena.) Bill: ... and then under cover of darkness we retrieved him later that night, along with the body of Tolliver Humphries. Bill: Because a fresh corpse...full of blood...Detective, that's something no vampire could resist. Bills tries not to be emotional.) Bitch lied to me. Gran: His family was among the first to settle in Bon Temps and he bravely fought for Louisiana in the war for Southern independence. He makes his way slowly to Tara. He's perfectly nice, and he's got a good job, and he's not a vampire, and...oh, why...why do I have to justify this to you? His daughter rocks in a chair to her mother's left, who also rocks in a chair, holding her and Bill's son, who is no longer an infant..)
Bill's son: Look. However, he stops.) Hoyt: She asked me to come home with her. I just didn't feel that..that spark! I'll call a cab. Instead of putting the garbage in the Dumpster, Tara takes it with her as she walks to the other side, and sees Jason having s*x with Randi Sue. Is this a contest for you? It was there that we learned the value of human life, and the ease with which it can be extinguished. Jason, Hoyt, and René look at Royce, Wayne and Chuck, and laugh at them.) Lafayette: ...for the blood. Lafayette: Ain't a whole lot different between a vampire and a boudin sausage except...
(Lafayette sticks an eyedropper into the vial and extracts some of the V, tapping the dropper on the vial two times.) Lafayette: I was very clear on how to use it. Lafayette: Well, what's they problem? René: But'choo became a...a vampire after that, right? SCENE 14: Behind Merlotte's. SCENE 5: The bar at Merlotte's after the lunch crowd. Sam: I hope you're not too flipped out to miss the Descendants of the Glorious Dead tonight. Sheriff Bud Dearborne: In to the house? Sookie and Sam exit. Sookie and Sam leave Bill with Gran.) Sookie turns her head and sees Gran lying in a large pool of blood. Sookie: Suckin' the blood from a police officer is not mainstreaming. Tara is fanning herself with a Jesus fan as Jason walks in from behind and looks at the crowd in the church. Tara is taking a bag of garbage to the Dumpster when she hears people having s*x on the other side of the Dumpster. The man provoked me. To think of his wife and children back home. What makes you say that? You would have fed on him and tossed him aside like an old chicken bone!

Summary: Bill's car arrives outside Sookie's house, and the two have an argument about their encounter with the police officer and Bill confesses that, had she not been there, he would have fed on the officer. Bill promises to never call her again and leaves. Sookie asks her gran about her problem and Adele suggests that she not be afraid or suspicious of him just because he is different. Tara is furious at Lafayette for selling V-juice to Jason and makes him promise to apologize. When Jason stops by, however, Lafayette convinces him to give vamp blood another try and instructs him on how to take it properly. At Merlotte's, Sam seizes his opportunity with Sookie and asks her to go with him to the Descendents of the Glorious Dead meeting and she agrees. Her suspicions about Tara and her brother are also raised when she learns that Tara lied to the police in order to give Jason an alibi for Dawn's murder. That night at the D.O.G.D. meeting, a large crowd has gathered at the church to hear Bill's speech. Among them are three rednecks named Chuck, Wayne and Royce, who are stirring up some trouble. Adele introduces Bill and he recounts the story about the loss of his friend Tolliver Humphries during the Civil War. The Mayor of Bon Temps presents Bill with a photograph of his long-lost wife and children, which stirs powerful emotions in Bill. After the meeting, Sookie and Sam go out for coffee. Everything is going well until the conversation turns to vampires and Sam insists that Bill is dangerous, no matter how she feels about him. At Merlotte's, the trio of rednecks continue to stir up trouble when Royce sends back a burger, saying it has AIDS. This causes Lafayette to fly into a rage and slams the burger in the man's face. Jason, Rene and Hoyt are dining not far away and Hoyt fails to pick up a girl named Randi Sue. A very-stoned Jason professes his deep love for Tara, who is smart enough to wait until he is sober for this conversation. Bill is paid a visit at his house by Sheriff Bud Dearborne and Andy, who question him about the murders. Bill insists that no vampire could resist a body full of human blood, and since the victims were not exsanguinated, the murderer could not be a vampire. After they leave, Bill remembers how he was turned into a vampire by a woman named Lorena as he was making his way home to his family. She allows him to see them one last time from a distance, but assures him that his old life is over. Tara catches Jason having sex with Randi Sue in the alley behind Merlotte's, which infuriates her. Sookie takes a cab home from her dismal date with Sam and finds her Gran lying on the kitchen floor, dead and in a pool of her own blood.
