 It's a few weeks until Christmas in Bon Temps, and although it's said to be the most wonderful time of the year, this year it's not. Sookie is having problems with her boyfriend. He's more interested in his computer these days than in her. When she finally asks him what he's up to, he doesn't tell her, but instead makes her promise that when he leaves for a trip to 'Seattle' and if something happens to him that she takes his computer and disks and protect them. She agrees knowing that he is lying to her about going to Seattle. She doesn't think much of it until Pam shows up at Merlotte's and tells her that Bill is missing. 
 What follows is a weird chain of events. Apparently, Sookie was right to believe that Bill wasn't going to Seattle. Instead he was going to Mississippi for the Queen of Louisiana. While there he ran into an old vampire lover of his - Lorena - and took up with her again. He had called Eric and Pam to tell them that he was going to stay with her permanently and that he needed to settle accounts with Sookie so that way she was taken care of. Upon hearing this information, Sookie is hurt, but she isn't hurt enough to not go to Jackson, Mississippi to look for signs of Bill. The werewolf that escorts her - Alcide - is quite the charmer himself and when they get to Jackson things are not as they seem.
