This episode was highly anticipated. It was going to be the episode where things hit the fan. The great battle between the Fellowship of the Sun and the Vampire League of Dallas was finally showcased… sort of. Maryann put a pretty nasty spell on Tara and Eggs. Sam got a huge wake up call and Jason got to play the role of hero. True Blood had a lot to show tonight.

As we saw from last week, Godric made his presence known, saving Sookie from being a raped victim. He carelessly snapped the would-be repist’s neck and dropped the body to the floor. Eric showed up only to be wowed by Godric’s presence. He tells Eric not to harm any humans on his way out the door with Sookie. The Fellowship is able to lock the doors before they can escape.  Eric tries to pretend to be one of them but is found out very quickly. He tries to escape another way and gets busted.  He cons the Fellowship to take him instead of Godric. The Fellowship agrees to take him but refuses to let the girl go.

Ryan Kwanten as Jason, Alexander Skarsgard as Eric

Meanwhile, Jason is on his way to save his sister. Sarah shot him with a paintball gun and was highly emotional. She believes that Jason was working for the enemy and played her. Jason was able to take the gun away from her and stole her car. By the time he got there, Eric was all chained up and burning for his sins.  Jason was able to get a couple of shots in on Steve before being taken down. The vampires arrived and were about to wrack havoc on the fellowship. Godric intervened and told them to stand down. Godric convinced everyone to agree to stop the blood shed before it begins. Steve vowed for revenge and by episode’s end, I believe he did.

Bill was all tied up with Lorena. Barry got in on the action and was tasted by Lorena. She made mention by how unique his blood was but couldn’t go into detail. Bill hit her in the head with a flat screen TV. He was able to get Barry to safety and told Jessica and Hoyt to skip town.

He did make it to the church but was told like the others to stand down. Once at Godric’s house, Bill told Sookie that his maker is in town and was the reason he was so late. Lorena shows up and she and Sookie get into a cat fight. They exchange some catty words and almost comes to blows. Godric stops the melee and sends Lorena packing. Lorena and Bill share a tear dropping goodbye and looks like the last time we will she Lorena or is it?

Tara and Eggs were treated to some fine cuisine by Maryann. She added a special ingredient, Daphne’s heart! After unknowingly consuming the heart, Tara and Eggs got really physical. They didn’t just have sex – they beat the crap out of each other. Maryann seemed to enjoy what was going on.

Sam was framed for Daphne’s murder.  The cops brought him in and locked him up. Sam realized he wasn’t alone and that the towns people has all gone nuts.  The only other person that knows the truth is Andy and no one believes him. I have to wonder why Andy is the only other person in town who doesn’t go under her spell when Maryann is doing her rituals? Could this mean that True Blood has made a boo boo or is Andy a supernatural? Wouldn’t that be a surprise?

This episode gave us what we needed but not want we wanted. I wanted to see a bloodbath at the church but it didn’t happen. Instead we got closure with Jason and the church. All seems to be going back to normal in Dallas. The Lorena adventure could be over. The Dallas vampires may go up in smoke due instead of a shoot out and  Jessica finally lost her virginity and got it back. Everything heals as a vampire, remember! The episode was good but I expected a better action sequence involving the vamps and humans.
