After Russell stakes Roman, the Authority HQ does into "level 1 lockdown": UV lights flash until guards can come into the conference room and throw a silvered net on the renegade former King of Louisiana. In the cells, Nora's skin sizzles in the UV light and she continues to chant to Lilith like the religious nut she is. When the alarm klaxons cease, no one has been killed (other than the Guardian) and the captured Russell is grinning and chuckling like a madman.
The fairies test Sookie's powers and determine that they are waning: since she is part human, her magic is finite and can run out. And if it runs out, she'll be human again - fairy no longer. Sookie takes that under advisement and leaves, Jason in tow, despite the fairies trying to explain that she has additional abilities that she hasn't yet tapped into (current power depletion notwithstanding).
After Sam saves Andy's life, the other deputies do some investigating; meanwhile, Sam rolls around on the floor in the storeroom, picking up scents and discerning some leads as to the other supernatural-murdering rednecks (because he can do that now). Cut to the supernatural-murdering rednecks' hovel, where Hoyt is "feeling more love and acceptance in this hate group than I ever felt in church." Heh. They get him all riled up and ready to go stake some vamps - Jessica in particular.
After a cooling-off period, Bill and Eric have been put back into the Authority cells, where they try to figure out who was behind Russell's liberation, besides Nora. It isn't until they're brought up to Salome's quarters where a flamboyant Russell is strutting around like a peacock when they come up to speed. Salome was the mastermind behind it, a Lilith-worshipper like Nora and not a mainstreamer everyone thought. Russell isn't quite so much a believer, although he professes to be born-again; Salome saved him because he was the only vampire strong enough to take out Roman. The DVD is skipping like crazy but the jist of it is Lilith will rise again, or something, and the Lilith-worshippers are the sanguinistas and really just want to eat humans like vampires were made to do. They ask Eric and Bill to join them. Eric: "Never, you Bible-banging cunts."
On the werewolf side of things, Alcide and Whatshername the wolf bitch who declared herself his second, do some sweating tae-kwon-do training in anticipation of the fight against JD. Alcide is shirtless (of course) but is wearing some dumbass Rambo bandana - seriously, the less he wears, the better. They're interrupted by Martha who says that JD supported her husband and her son, when each of them was pack leader, and it's his turn to lead the pack now.
Oh my boring hell. Arlene and Holly watch Arlene and Terry's wedding video on the world's oldest t.v. Arlene cries. Holly says that Terry has PTSD and he may not be making the ifrit up, so she shouldn't give up on him. FILLER. Also filler: Andy goes to see former Sheriff Bud for advice on how to deal with the super-murdering rednecks. Bud tosses him out on his ass and I'm totally not sure why they even bothered with that scene. Also: Terry and Patrick hang out all night in a pasture, waiting for the ifrit to come kill them. When the ifrit shows up, it just laughs at them and disappears. Terry grabs Patrick's gun and tries to shoot himself but Patrick talks him out of it. Yawn.
Down in Mexico, Lafayette goes to Jesus's crazy brujo father's home. Long story short, Jesus's crazy brujo father captures him, sews his mouth shut and is about to carve the brujo spirit out of Lafayette's head when his very pregnant and much younger wife stabs him to death and cuts Lafayette free. Whatever.
Sookie finds Sam visiting Luna at the hospital. When they go to have a cup of coffee, she asks him if he would ever give up being a shifter if he could. He doesn't know but he's sure of one thing: a lot more people in his life would be safe - and alive - if he wasn't "special." Sookie nods solemnly. But it doesn't matter: they are what they are.
At Fangtasia, Tara is pole-dancing when her mother shows up just to tell her that she is dead to her. Pam, sporting a truly HORRIFIC crimped hair-do (I mean OMG it is sooooooooo bad), watches. Later, Pam gives her sad progeny some advice ("So, your mom's a bitch"): "A hundred years from now, you won't even remember her - this I promise you." Touched, Tara jumped up and cutely clutches Pam in a hug. Pam is startled for a bit, then sends Tara back up to dance on the pole some more.
JD gathers the pack around him and says that he's got this vampire friend (unnamed, but probably Russell) who says the end of days is coming: a war between the vampires and the humans. This vampire will give the wolves his blood to drink and they will fight by his side. Little Emma is there and JD is about to give her some when Martha rushes in and grabs her granddaughter away, snarling that she used to defend JD but she doesn't know him anymore.
Hoyt and his new supernatural-murdering redneck friends mask up and head out to kill themselves some supers. Over at the hospital, Sam is just about to leave for the night when he catches a whiff of an orderly who is one of the SMRs. He jumps the orderly and starts pounding the shit out of him.
Jason stops by Bill's mansion to talk with Jessica. He wants to talk to her about his parents being killed by a vampire but when he realizes that he's interrupting her having blood sex with a fangbanger, he freaks out. They tussle, she bites him, he shoots her in the side of the head and she throws him out. Jessica is having a tough time keeping friends these days. Over at the Stackhouse homestead, Sookie decides that she's had enough of being fae. She starts sending huge blasts of fairy magic out into the night, trying to deplete herself. Jason, leaving the mansion, sees the light in the sky and runs to find out what is going on.
After quite a lot of talking at a praise-Lilith ceremony, Salome gives a taste of some holy Lilith blood (reputed) to Nora, Bill, Eric, Russell, Reverend Steve Newlin, the Doctore (from Spartacus) and some other vampires. [By the way, BARB FROM COUGARTOWN is one of the chancellors. I just realized this. That's AWESOME - go watch Cougartown.] They all completely trip out, dancing and snarling around the streets of New Orleans, where they end up in a club and draining an insipid human wedding party. In the blood-splashed aftermath, Lilith appears, encouraging the bloodlust. But Eric gets a private vision - Godric - telling him to save Nora from herself.
