"Oh god, not this again." (benwarlow/Tumblr)

We're mixing things up tonight on "True Blood" with lotsa' action split between two different locations: vamp camp and Terry's funeral. 

We start off back in the faerieland version of the cemetery, where Bill wants the rest of Warlow's blood even though the faeriepire is dying n' all, but Sookie won't stand for it. "Go take it from Eric," she says, but Bill doesn't care. Sookie does them all a favor and blasts Bill out of faerieland with her light. She feeds Warlow her own blood and he still wants to know if he can turn her into his vamp bride ('cause he loves her n' all). He heals her bite wound and sends her off to Terry's funeral. 

Pretty much all of Bon Temps shows up for the service. Rev. Daniels (with Tara's stuck-up mom by his side) greets Arlene to get started. Alcide shows up, looking like the good wolf we used to know, and has that thang in his eye for Sookie again. 

Eric murders pretty much everyone at vamp camp with his new extra-strength, daytime faerie blood. He finds the doctor who injected the Hep-V into Nora and, well…. dismembers him. Literally. As in, the crotch area. After letting the male gen pop out, he discovers a baby vamp whose maker is dying of Hep-V. Eric warns the kid that his maker will die a "horrible death." I'd call it a super squishy, melty veiny explosion death, but okay. Bill finds the Hep-V doctor bleeding out from the dick region and squishes his face to a pulp for even recognizing the name Jessica Hamby. Ew. 

What occurs next is a perpetual back-and-forth between major and minor characters reminiscing on Terry's life at the funeral and the happenings over at vamp camp. Rev. Daniels is up first, and he admired the way Terry put family before anything else. Andy takes us on a flashback to Terry's first days back from the middle east with extreme PTSD. Terry used to hide from everyone in army fatigues out at their old childhood tree house. Andy would bring him beer and try to get him to join civilization. Terry told him to bring "Raging Bitch," and we see how Andy got Sam to bring Terry the beer, thus introducing the two and getting Terry the fry cook job. 

The vamps have taken over vamp camp, making their human captors endure the same tortures they went through before slaughtering them all. Eric finds Jason lying wounded in female gen pop 1, and decides to heal him since Jason knows his way around the place. Eric tells Jason to "dream of nice things" before feeding him his blood. I see another homoerotic dream coming sometime soon. They go to find the sun room, and totally miss the part where Sarah Newlin is still alive and well, hiding in a pile of bodies. 

Eric and Jason take a pitstop when they see the "oozy but productive" psychologist is still alive. Bald Freud doesn't care how he dies, he's just pumped he got to bang his favorite vamp Pam. Eric glamours him to find out if it's true, and takes the guy to Pam so she can kill him herself. Eric recognizes none other than Ginger's screams from the human donation prisoners, and grabs her for shits and giggles. 

Awwwww. (askarswedishmeatballs/Tumblr)

Up next at the funeral is Lala, looking way too amazing in a three piece suit and fedora with purple accessories and fabulous eye shadow. "Is that a boy or a girl?" Grandma Bellefleur asks. Shut up, Grandma. I have a feeling Nelsan Ellis improvised a lot of this scene, and he is awesome as usual. Lala takes us back to showing Terry the ropes in the Merlotte's kitchen, claiming he could see Terry's soul in his eyes. What ensues next is a hilarious lesson on how to make french fries, sassy dance moves included. Portia Bellefleur gets up and says something about swings and it's not as good as Lala's story. Obvi.

It's finally Arlene's turn, but Sookie hears her thoughts that she's not ready, and stands up instead. She takes us back to the early days of Merlotte's, where an annoying waitress tried to hit on Terry but Sookie listened in and knew he was only interested in Arlene. Sookie confesses to the funeral audience that she's a telepath, and that she could hear this from Terry's thoughts. "He loved you from the second you walked into his life," Sookie tells them. Arlene cries appropriately and Sookie sits down just as Alcide conveniently provides a shoulder to cry on. 

Bill is still walking around vamp camp all pissed, one step behind Eric. Meanwhile, Sarah has climbed to the top of the white sun chamber to open up the roof doors. Bill realizes it's he who must save the vamps, and has all of them feed on him just as Sarah has them greet the sun. They're all safe except for Steve, who struggles to get a piece of Bill like the runt of the bunch. Eric enters the chamber and kills Steve anyway, which is kinda sad but whatever. Steve looks up to see Sarah just as he dies, shouting "I love you… Jason Stackhouse!" Good thing Jason is behind the two way mirror to hear that last declaration. 

RIP Steve Newlin. Again. (bestprankever/Tumblr)

Arlene shows us how Terry was there for her when she couldn't get Mikey to breast feed. Uh, okay. But it's still kinda sad. Why did the writers do this to their relationship and then show us all these sad scenes? Big John Dickson, the other cook we see sometimes in the Merlotte's kitchen, gets up at the funeral to sing a song. Everyone is generally moved and feelin' the love for Terry, even though Grandma Bellefleur is still perplexed why so many "negros showed up." 

Eric reunites with Pam and all of the now super high vamps. They dance around, holding hands, being funny and cute, except for Bill who is dying on the floor and hallucinating bloody Liliths. Jason runs after Sarah and almost shoots her, but he's a good hearted dude and tells her to get lost. Something tells me we'll be seeing her again. 

More slow-mo vamps being high in the sunlight. They all decide to make a huge mess of the Tru Blood and fling it at buildings, shoot the crap out of it, whatever they can. We see a Tru Blood truck pull up to a grocery store in Honolulu, but vamps attack it and swipe the bottles, of course not realizing they're all about to be poisoned. 

The Liliths tell Bill his time is over, but like Effie White in "Dreamgirls," he's telling them that he ain't goin'. Only Jessica realizes Bill was left behind, and takes James with her to rescue him. It's James who realizes that they too have faerie blood in them, and Bill only needs to feed off one of them to heal. 

These. two. Why do I care so much?! (dgsafdmd/Tumblr)

The vamps who all forgot about Bill outside are super psyched to see him walk out alive and okay. Jessica says they can all go party at their place. Violet is still around and creepy and grabs Jason for herself. Pam is about to follow all the vamps when she realizes Eric is off in the distance. "Don't you dare leave me," she tells him, but he does just that and flies away. Sigh. 

All in all a different kind of episode, but fun in the way that we got to see some minor characters from season 1 and see our main cast back in those days. It seems as if our vamp camp plot line is over, but scenes from next week show dealing with the repercussions from the infected Tru Blood going out into the world. Plus, we've still got a Warlow-Sookie wedding to deal with. See you at the finale, ya'll!
