( EW.com ) -- `` True Blood '' fans are still reeling from last night 's epic and bloody season finale . SPOILER ALERT ! We saw the returns of Grands ( Lois Smith ) and Rene ( Michael Raymond-James ) , as well as possibly the resurrection of Russell ( Denis O'Hare ) . But the most disturbing twists were Lafayette ( Nelsan Ellis ) stabbing Jesus ( Kevin Alejandro ) , and Tara ( Rutina Wesley ) getting shot in the head by Debbie Pelt ( Britt Morgan ) . EW talked to Wesley about the finale and whether or not Tara survived the gunshot wound . What did you think when you read the season finale script ? Well I mean , I knew ahead of time that it was coming . It 's always a scary place as an actor to go there . I do n't know what their plans are for next season . I know that Alan has said there are `` big plans , '' but I do n't know what that really means , and things can always change . I 'm not for sure , but I trust him completely . At the end of the day , it 's hard to see how I 'm coming back , seeing as half of my head was just blown off . I do n't know . They may figure something out . I mean it 's True Blood . There 's always flashbacks . There 's phantasms . There 's all this crazy stuff . It 's very possible . But I 'm excited either way . If it does all end , I 've had the most amazing time of my life . It 's really great . In your mind , is Tara dead ? Well I mean half my head is missing . I 'm just gon na keep saying that . You know , it 's `` True Blood . '' I feel like anything is possible . If anything , it is the golden hour though . If she is able to be saved , it 's like she 's got 20 seconds . It 's not a lot of time . I 'm curious to see what they 're going to do with all of it . I hope I 'm back . But again half my head is missing [ laughs ] . Maybe Tara will just wear a lot of hats ? Yeah I mean yeah she can wear a lot of hats . Put some gauze on it . But people are going crazy ! [ Laughs ] . It was crazy ! Are people approaching you ? Well my phone has been blowing up . I talked to Nelsan and his phone was blowing up . He was like , `` People are about to start a riot over you . '' I think that 's so sweet to know that people out there are really upset and some people are like , `` I 'm not watching the show anymore ! '' I 'm like , C'mon guys . But it 's not over . It ai n't over til the fat lady sings . I 'm just gon na take it one day at a time . As I said , I have n't seen any scripts from next season , but I know that I 'm involved -- I just do n't know in what way . Are you signed on for a season 5 ? Yeah . It 's out there that Alan has already said that he has big plans for Tara . But things change . I do n't know exactly what they have in store for me and how long that will be . It 's tricky . And if I did know , I 'm just not going to say . [ Laughs ] But again -- half the head is missing . The cool part is people are talking . And that 's the question is : Is she dead or is she not ? Because people can survive head wounds . But we have people on the show that can make things happen -- you know what I mean ? I do n't know what 's going to happen the first episode of next season . I 'm just as excited and curious you are . I hope it 's good . I hope I stick around for a while . That would be nice . [ Laughs ] . Was it emotional shooting that scene on the kitchen floor ? It was emotional . I think we all went out afterwards -- me , Britt and Anna -- just to sort of have a little celebration . But it was very very emotional . I do n't think there was a dry eye when we shot that scene . It 's very clear the relationship when Tara goes , `` I would die for you . '' Basically , I would take a bullet for you . That 's not necessarily a best friend -- she 's like my sister . I think it was so amazing to see that . To see her walk in and go , `` Oh , uh-uh . '' That goes to show you how much love Tara has . Anna in that moment I think played it so beautifully , and it was hard for me because I was like , `` Okay , play dead . Play dead .
