So I must say by the end of this season, I am getting back on the Truebie bandwagon. Season 6 wasn't off to a great start, but with now only 2 episodes left, I look forward to HBO Sundays again. Let's get to it.

Eric is still all RIP Nora when Bill returns with no Warlow in sight. Bill is all "we're sticking to the plan" but Eric couldn't care less. These two get in a bitch fight where Bill decides to levitate Eric for fun and insult Godric. Eric is all OH NO YOU DIDN'T and Bill kicks him out. There's nothin' like a good ol' fashioned Bill vs. Eric scene that somehow leads back to fighting over Sookie.

And suddenly, just like that, Alcide warms his way back into our hearts this episode. Rikki challenges him as pack master, not because she thinks she can beat him, but because she knows Alcide won't fight her to the death. They do fight, and it's awesome to see Rikki get what she deserves, but alas she's right. Alcide lets her live and abandons the pack once and for all.

The mysterious "Jason is mine" vamp in female gen pop gets a name! It's Violet, and she's also really creepy in a I'm-gonna-feed-off-of-you-whenever-I-want-kinda-way. Cuz she's Catholic. Like, medieval times Catholic. Violet wants to know how Jason got himself thrown in female gen pop and he says he banged Sarah Newlin, which is sort of the truth?

Warlow is still chillin' all tied up in the faerieland cemetery. Sookie returns to him, and after feeding him her wrist as a snack, asks if he'll help Bill save her friends in vamp camp. And don't worry, she'll make sure that Bill can't kill him afterwards. But Warlow asks for a lot in return – that Sookie immediately become his faerie vampire bride after it's all said and done. He's loved her for like, 6000 years, after all. Sook is appropriately weirded out by this (she just wants to have good sex and go to the movies with the guy) and says she'll need some time. She leaves faerieland, and none other than Eric sees her exit the portal. He's got his intrigued face on.

James and Jessica are basking in post coital glory, super into each other, which is cute but also super fast. A guard busts in, Jess reminds James not to drink the Tru Blood, and away they go. Jess runs into Pam on her way back, who has won her way out of solitary through "oozy but productive" sex with the yuck psychiatrist.

Sam is finally back in Merlotte's after all of his wolf pack drama. He cleans out Terry's shelf, which is sad for a split second, and runs into Alcide outside. He's brought Nicole and her mom back to Sam after they were kidnapped by the pack. Sam is super appreciative and tells Alcide that he can totally go get wasted in the bar if he wants. They're bros, after all. 

Good news, vamp camp! Everyone gets a whole bottle of Tru Blood! Wow! All the stupid vampires we don't care about start drinking it. Even Steve Newlin is going to drink it, but ends up talking to James, who warns him not to. Aw, James. But also dammit, James!

Sam takes care of Nicole and her mom in the trailer, but he smells something weird on Nicole. Huh? Oh well, he goes into the bar to do shots with Alcide and reveals that ooooh, Nicole is preggers. He smells himself on her. Woah.

Violet has dragged Jason into a weird locker thing for dinner, and his lady friends (Jess, Tara, and Willa) are worried about him. They ask Pam to try and reason with Violet, since they're both "level 1." Pam actually couldn't give any shits, and Violet writes her off anyway. Violet tells Jason that he's "delicious" and he asks her if she'll be kind enough not to rape him like Crystal and the crazy werepanther town. Violet assures him when they have sex, he'll want it, even beg for it.

At the newest "modern family" household starring the Bellefleurs, Holly, and the oh so incredible bacon master Lafayette, Arlene is told about the $2 million (!!!) life insurance policy Terry took out four days before he had Justin shoot him. Adilyn listens in on Arlene's thoughts, which include putting some of the blame on the Bellefleur faerie girls for listening in to Terry's mind and teasing him. Adilyn gets all angsty and runs away. 

And for my personal favorite scene of the episode, we get a Sookie and Bill face-off (with Sook sporting a weird Buffy Summers-with-cowboy-boots kinda look). These two have come a loooong way since wooing each other in season 1, and it shows. Perhaps Eric's taunts to Bill from earlier on failing to get Warlow because he has a soft spot for Sookie truly hit home, because Bill is a straight up jerk to her. And Sookie calls him out on it. She tells Bill that agreeing to let Warlow help him means her human death, and Bill doesn't care one bit. Sookie calls him a "motherf***in' monster," and for once I felt bad for her because Bill actually sucks.

Sarah decides that being in charge means wearing a white pantsuit. She also learns that - ruh roh-  some of the vamps are avoiding the Tru Blood. And oh look, one of them is Steve. She interrogates him as he runs on a giant hamster wheel and learns that James spilled the beans. Steve and James get put into the circular white room of doom we've seen in Bill's vision, and thus the countdown til the sun begins.

At Merlotte's, Nicole and her mom are ready to hop a plane back to wherever they came from. But Sam decides oh hell no, he loves Nicole, and she should stay in Bon Temps. Also, she's 23 years old. And Sam is a "silver fox," according to Nicole's mom. This is all very weird. He was with Luna like… a week ago? Something like that. And oh hey, there's Sookie! She drags Sam off to ask if he's like, still down to be in love with her cuz she can totally just throw all of her faerie light away right now and they can be normal together. Well, as normal as they can be with Sam being a shifter and all. For those of us going WTF (including Sam) during this scene, apparently Sookie has always thought they'd end up together. Oooookay. Sam freaks out at her that she has the worst timing in history and Nicole is pregnant, so no, this is not going to work out. A lot of the respect I gained for Sookie in her scene with Bill was lost here in how she's treated Sam. 

In a scene that weirdly reminded me of Fisher & Sons funeral home from Six Feet Under, Arlene gets pissed off at Terry's yuppy grandma and Portia (Andy's sis) about Terry's service. She goes outside with Holly and Andy, upset about the insurance money. Andy convinces her she should accept it and let this Justin guy go. Okay, she says, but Terry's service will be the way she wants. The way Terry would have wanted.

Sookie decides she's going to accept Warlow's ultimatum, and goes to her parent's graves to let them know. She's done. They're dead to her. Well... again. She's so angry at them that she's willing to become the thing they hated so much that they would kill her. I hope she still likes her grandma Adele though, she was hella nice.

The Tru Blood rep, Suzuki, shows up at vamp camp to see the Governor. Except oops, Sarah's in charge now, and once Suzuki sees the Hep V going into her product, Sarah knows what she has to do. Ensue hilarious-weird-gross-out fight scene between these two women, where Sarah's white pantsuit ultimately gets splattered with blood as she stabs Suzuki's own high heel into her head. The blood drips into a male gen pop unit, and Sarah thanks Jesus for giving her the strength to carry on. 

Sookie, not realizing where Jason (or Niall) has run off to, leaves him a long voicemail about Terry and that hopefully they'll catch up with each other at tomorrow's funeral. Then she calls yuck-face Bill and tells him to pick her up in an hour. She puts on a sexy black dress and sits in some really good lighting until he arrives.

Holly's sons take depressed Adilyn for a night out on the town and one ends up gettin' frisky with her in the cemetery. Eric shows up, glamours the boys into forgetting they saw him, and chases Adilyn down to take a nice sample of faerie blood. Andy later finds her running out on the street and is a super worried dad. 

More Tru Blood is served up in vamp camp! Come and get it! Our cast of vamps know better, but Violet also doesn't want any because she's all good with her stock of, well, Jason. Sassmaster Tara mumbles that she wishes Violet would just drink it, but Violet totally hears her and gets into a spat with Pam. She and Willa wanted a piece of Jason, too, Pam tells her, but Violet retorts with "why couldn't you just drink the Tru Blood?" and all the guards listening suddenly get the picture, aka all the ladies get thrown into the circular room with Steve and James. Drats.

Just when we think Sookie and Bill will arrive in time with Warlow to help them, Sook takes Bill with her into faerieland and… Warlow has been attacked! He's lost a lot of blood. Sookie doesn't have a clue, but Bill knows exactly what's up. This was Eric's doing. 

Only 2 more episodes left, ya'll!
