I Got A Right To Sing The Blues

Russell brings both Sookie and Bill to his mansion. Escaping, Bill rushes forward and plunges a stake through one of the guards. Next, he attempts to jump on Russell’s shoulders and kill him also.

Closing time at Merlotte’s and Arlene, Lafayette and Jessica are ready to leave. Instead, a rude lady in curlers demands to get a full meal. Arlene tells Lafayette the bad news that he has to cook again but he is surprised when Jesus offers to help him out.

Cutting up the fruit for the bar, Arlene accidentally cuts her finger. Jessica sees the blood and instantly her fangs come down. Holding her silver necklace and telling Jessica that she takes garlic supplements, Arlene begs Jessica not to hurt her or the baby.

Telling him it’s too dangerous for them to be together, Crystal tells him she can never see him again and runs off.

Alone with Eric, Sookie tries to understand why Eric would betray her. Eric rushes to her and tells her in her face that she means nothing to him and to not get in his way. At that moment, Russell walks in and wants to question Sookie alone.

Arlene and Jessica wait patiently while the woman takes her time eating. Feeling bad that she glamour all of Arlene’s customers into not leaving her a tip, Jessica tells Arlene she’ll get rid of the lady.

Russell begins questioning Sookie. He allows her to also ask him a few questions too. Russell asks Sookie what she is. Answering honestly as she can, she tells him that she can read everyone’s thoughts but Vampires. She also tells him about the chain she through at Ratray’s throat and how it circled around his neck on its own. As far as the light from her hands, she tells him that she has no idea what it means and that it had only recently started. Hoping to have given him what he wants, she once again pleads with him to free Bill. Russell of course has no desire to do so.

Arousing him further, she tells him that she wants to taste his blood. He yells for her to bite him. Tara suddenly starts to bite his neck violently, spewing blood everywhere and Franklin becomes even more aroused.

Russell has his guards bring Sookie up to one of the bedrooms. Russell interrupts Talbot and Eric’s card game to tell Eric that they are leaving. This of course upsets Talbot because he feels that he is always left behind.

Once alone in there and finding no way of escape, she begins to cry. Suddenly, Sookie hears Tara talking to her and telling her not to worry because she was going to help them both escape when the sun comes up.

In the limo ride to the Queen’s home, Russell questions Eric about his relationship with Sookie. Eric tells his taste lie elsewhere.

Lafayette invites Jesus into his home. Before they have a chance to get better acquainted, they hear a noise outside. Once outside, they see it’s 3 rednecks and they are breaking out his car windows with a baseball bat. Sneaking up on them, Jesus is able to get the bat away. Lafayette starts hitting the guy over and over. The redneck tells him that he has no desire to sell Vampire blood for him. Once they leave, Jesus asks Lafayette if he’s a drug dealer.

Queen Sophie Anne is on the floor amongst a hundred or so scratch tickets, scratching them off one by one in hopes of winning big and fixing all of her money troubles. She gets an unwanted surprise when she looks up and sees Russell standing there. Once again, he is proposing marriage. She of course denies him. Russell promises her that he will pay all of her debt off but that still doesn’t make her say yes. Suddenly, Eric is at her throat and uses his strength to convince her to say yes to Russell.

Alone with Bill, Lorena has seemed to have used many of her cutting devices on him. Bill is now laying in a puddle of blood barely conscious.

She tells them yes and to suck up whatever’s left of Bill.

Apparently, she used to shift into a fighting dog but now she’s too old and it’s Tommy’s turn. Melinda soon convinces Tommy that Sam isn’t like them and he will never really be part of their family.

Moving quietly out of the bed, Tara approaches the display of medieval clubs. Grabbing one that has spikes on the end, Tara begins to bash in Franklin’s head. Posing as a cook, Tara arrives at Sookie’s door carrying a bowl of almonds. She tells Gus that she needs to enter the room. Reluctantly, he lets her in. Once inside, Sookie and Tara both attack him and knock him out. They both run for the front door.

Not wanting to give up on Crystal, Jason arrives at her house with a bouquet of roses. Unfortunately, it wasn’t Crystal that opened the door but her redneck fiancé. Crystal arrives and denies that she knows Jason and tells him to leave.

Lafayette takes his anger out on Arlene that morning making her wonder why he’s so grouchy. Seeing Sam, Arlene tells him that it’s not fair to play favorites with his relatives and let them have an animal. Not understanding what she’s talking about, Arlene clarifies that she saw Melinda and Joe Lee loading up a pit bull into their van. Sam takes off.

On the way out of the mansion, Tara tries to tell Sookie to leave Bill because he wouldn’t help her. Sookie tells her that Bill was only doing those things to protect her. Not able to convince Sookie to come with her, Tara takes off to find a car and Sookie runs out to find Bill.

Hiding, Sookie waits as she sees Coot and Debbie come out where Bill is. They are acting like they are high on V and Sookie mumbles “trash” under her breath. Once the coast was clear, Sookie ran into the building. Seeing Bill laying motionless on the floor, Sookie runs over to him. Thinking he might be gone, she is happy when she hears him say “Sookie”. Before she has a chance to help him, Lorena appears before her. She throws Sookie against the wall and grabs her neck and begins to bite her.

Running towards the woods, Tara is startled when she sees a beautiful white wolf. Suddenly, the wolf becomes a naked Alcide. Before she has a chance to run away, Alcide tells her that he’s there to save Sookie. Shocking him, Tara asks if he has a car and he says yes.
