TEXT: SCENE 1: Four charred coffins are beside one another outside of the house burned by Royce, Wayne, and Chuck. One of the coffins is partly opened. Various emergency personnel perform their duties as Sookie looks at the scene from a short distance. She is approached by Sheriff Bud Dearborn. Sheriff Dearborn: Sookie, are you okay? You want some water? Sookie: Four? (Sookie turns to face Detective Andy Bellefleur.) Sookie: You're sure you found four bodies? Andy Bellefleur: We shouldn't even be tellin' ya this. Sookie: Andy, not now! Not with me. Andy Bellefleur: [sigh] There's four sets of remains inside four coffins. Sookie: Oh, my God! (Sookie starts toward the house, but is pulled away by Andy.) Andy Bellefleur: We can't let you go in there! Sookie: Andy, if you don't take your hands off me right now, I swear to God, I will kill you! (Sookie breaks free of Andy's grip, and runs up the small hill toward the house, but is met by an unidentified young man in a blue jacket with something illegible printed in white letters on the back of it. There is another man present, wearing a black ball-cap and a black vest with "CORONER" in silver/white letters on the back of his.) Unidentified Young Man In Blue Jacket: No, no, sweetheart, you don't wanna come up here... (The unidentified young man looks at the contents of one of the burned coffins. There are no bones, only a slurry of slightly bubbling blood.) Unidentified Young Man In Blue Jacket: Jiminy Christmas. That's what happens to vampires? Unidentified Man in Ball-cap: (off-camera): Evidently. Plus, we got three more. (Sookie looks down at the blood soup with a worried look on her face.) Unidentified Man in Ball-cap (to the young man in the blue jacket): I hope you skipped breakfast. [chuckle] Unidentified Man In Blue Jacket: Sookie,
SUMMARY:
Sookie thinks Bill was killed in the fire, while Jason wakes up with Amy, thinking they had sex, but it turns out that they were simply V-tripping. Jason opens up to her about his parent's tragic deaths. Tara is amazed at Lettie Mae's seemingly instantaneous recovery and fights with Sookie about Bill. That night, Sookie takes flowers to Bill's grave. As she is walking back, she is attacked by Bill and they have sex. The next day, Jason introduces Amy to Merlotte's and she is hired as a new waitress, but Sookie tries to warn her about Jason. Tara lashes out at her mother's born-again Christianity and, after sleeping with Sam again, snaps at him. Sookie and Bill babysit Arlene's kids and Rene proposes to Arlene, who accepts. Mike Spencer, the coroner, identifies the fourth body in the fire as Neil, his assistant who was secretly a "fang banger". Sam is interrogated by Bud and Andy. Sam claims that he comes from a family of naturists and runs naked through the woods once a year to honor them. But Andy checks and finds out Sam was lying. After talking with Lafayette, Tara starts thinking that she may need an exorcism . Jason sees Amy's darker side when she reveals that she needs more V, but Lafayette won't sell it to him. They decide to follow him and discover that he gets his V-juice from a gay vampire, Eddie. Bill finds Eric in his bathtub who needs Sookie to work for him. Tara goes to Miss Jeanette to get her exorcism. After Lafayette leaves, Jason and Amy kidnap Eddie and shove him into Jason's truck. Sookie reluctantly goes to Fangtasia, where Eric uses her telepathy to find who has embezzled . Sookie learns that a woman named Ginger knows the money was taken, but her memory has been wiped, which means a vampire must have stolen it. At that moment, Longshadow attacks her.
