I’m Alive and On Fire

True Blood Episode 40 Season 4 Synopsis & Soundtrack
After watching in horror as Eric finishes sucking Claudine’s last drop of blood, Sookie tries to persuade Eric to come inside before dawn sets in. Begging Eric to go to the safety of his cubby, Sookie sees that Eric’s eyes are a bit hazy.

Eric stands up and staggers a little. Noticing this, Sookie figures out that he is drunk off of fairy blood. His speech is slurred and he looks at Sookie in a very suggestive way. Noticing this, Sookie once again tries to get him inside. Walking past her, Eric shocks Sookie when he pinches her butt.

Acting like a petulant young boy, Eric refuses to go in. Using Vampire speed, Eric begins to play a “catch me if you can” game. Feeling helpless and frustrated, Sookie watches as Eric vanishes into the near dawn light.

Bill arrives at Fangtasia to once again ask Pam is she knows anything about the whereabouts of Eric. Feeling that Bill is responsible, Pam tells him that she blames him for Eric going to see the witches in the first place.

Laying on the filthy mattress, Jason is exhausted as one by one, the women of Hot Shot take turns having sex with him. Young Becky soon arrives and Jason quickly tries to talk her out of it. Finally, Becky gives in and tells Jason she doesn’t want to do it. Jason soon convinces Becky to cut his wrists free.

Marnie channels the witch once again and suddenly she appears in an ancient time. There, she watches on helplessly as the witch is tied to a stake and is soon set on fire. The witch screams out chants and continues to repeat them as the flames get higher.

Alcide shows up at Sookie’s to help her find Eric. Grabbing a blanket to cover Eric, they both head out. Alcide quickly shifts into a wolf in order to locate Eric faster.

Maxine stomps her way into Merlotte’s to scream about Sam and demand to know where Tommy has vanished too. Before she has a chance to create a big scene, Sam escorts her to the back. Maxine threatens with violence if she finds out he did anything to Tommy but Sam swears he has no idea where Tommy is.

Felton sees Becky and tries to find out how it was with her and Jason. Seeing her look, Felton realizes that she had not done the deed and had possibly let Jason escape. Finding Luther all tied up, Felton’s fears are realized. Quickly shifting into a panther, Felton heads on out to find Jason and kill him.

At the Moon Goddess Emporium, Lafayette, Marnie, Jesus and Tara all try to find a spell that can fix Eric. Before giving up, Marnie once again calls upon the witch she channeled. A moment later, an old book falls from the shelf opened. Grabbing up the book, Marnie discovers it is the spell they need to reverse the spell.

Sookie and Alcide stop at the bank of a local swimming spot and see Eric acting like a little boy swimming around. Eric soon tries to convince Sookie to join him. Calling him a crazy viking, Sookie tells him that he must get out of the sun. Nor wanting to, Eric resists until he starts to feel his skin burning. Coming out of the water reluctantly, Eric is covered up by the blanket. Using vamp speed, Eric gets home to the safety of his cubby.

Receiving a call from his mom, Tommy heads over to her trailer to meet up with her. Once there, Tommy embraces his mother and tells her he’s so happy she left Joe Lee. Tommy lies to her and tells her that she was right, Sam never loved him and about being shot.

Feeling impulsive, Sam shows up at Luna’s house unannounced and Luna doesn’t seem to happy about it. Getting a surprise of his own, Luna’s little girl walks outside to greet Sam.

Back safely in the cubby, Sookie tries to soothe Eric after his close call with being exposed to the sun. Sookie notices that he seems a bit depressed. Having once again felt the sun on his skin, Eric realizes that it will never happen again. Not wanting to be alone, Eric asks Sookie to stay with him but she decides it’s best to go back up.

Jason runs through the woods as fast as he can but the fever is getting the best of him. Hearing Felton close behind him, Jason grabs a long stick and climbs a tree. While up in the tree, Jason uses his knife and begins to sharpen the stick into a spear.

He hears Felton approach. Waiting patiently, Jason jumps on Felton when he is directly under him. His spear pierces through Felton but not before Felton scratches Jason one last time.

Crystal soon appears and is happy to see Felton dead. Telling Jason that he is now head of the clan. Staring at her as if she was crazy, Jason tells her there is no way and heads on out. Crystal yells after him that he will be back when the full moon happens.

Introducing Bill to her grandmother Caroline, Portia leads him into the sitting room. Soon Caroline begins to talk about her family history. Wanting to share with Bill her family lineage, Portia hands her grandmother the family bible. Having a hard time reading, Bill takes the bible and uses his Vampire sight, begins to read.

After a minute of tracing back her family tree, Caroline and Bill look at each other horrified. Saying he was sorry, Bill excuses himself immediately and walks out the door. Portia chases him and asks why he is leaving. After some resistance, Bill explains to her that she is his great great great grand daughter.

Holding the baby, Terry walks into the living room where Arlene is asleep with her daughter. Terry explains to the baby how much his mommy loves him and what he wants to do with him. Hearing the dryer buzz, Terry sets the baby down ona blanket next to the doll and walks out.

Moments later, Terry walks back in and screams when he sees baby Mikey with a red marker in his hands. On the wall written in red marker is the words “bay not yours”. The scream wakes up Arlene and she also sees the message. Crying she holds the baby close.

After Alcide leaves, Sookie heads back down into the cubby to try and comfort Eric. Eric is still depressed but tells Sookie that if she kissed him, it would make him happier. Almost giving into the temptation, Sookie leans in for a kiss. Eric stops quickly and tells her that she has someone at her door.

Opening the door, Sookie is surprised to see Bill standing there. Telling her she looks good, Bill begins to ask her about Eric’s whereabouts. He explains to her that her home was the only place they have not searched.

Sookie tells Bill she has no idea where Eric is but Bill senses she might not be telling the truth. Telling her that he is going to search her home, Sookie demands that he can not enter. Pushing past her to enter, Sookie tells him that she has never given him any reason not to trust her. Knowing she is correct, he backs out and leaves.

Sitting around the warm fire, Tommy asks Melinda about the scars on her neck. She tells him that Joe Lee sent her back into the ring to fight. Before Tommy has any time to react, Joe Lee wraps a chain around his neck and begins to choke him. Falling to the ground gasping for air, Joe Lee tells him he will teach him obedience. Melinda watches but does nothing to stop it.

In the dark woods, Marnie and the others prepare a circle lit by candles. Pam watches on impatiently. After Marnie begins to recite the spell and nothing seems to happen, Pam finally loses her cool and demands that Marnie fix her maker.

Suddenly, a noticeable change comes over Marnie. Looking at Pam, she begins to chant a spell about turning her into the rotting corpse she is. Pam can’t seem to look away and begins to touch her face. She is horrified when she begins to feel her skin change and start to rot off. Scared, using Vampire speed, Pam leaves screaming.
