Goofs:

Plot holes: Amy and Jason kidnap Lafayette's source for V, vampire Eddie. She puts a chainmail hood over Eddie's head as soon as he opens the door, they tie him up in silver chains and carry him to the back of Jason's truck. While Amy drives them home, Jason lets her know that he is not happy about what she has gotten him into and Amy says to him "If you want to make the same arrangement with Eddie that Lafayette has go right ahead" (something to this effect). However, nothing happened that would let her know what the vampire's name was. Eddie is still in the back of the truck fettered by the silver hood and chains.

Quotes:

Jason: [in his afterglow] God damn! You... you are not like anybody I ever met.
Amy Burley: [lazily] Just gonna say the same thing. Jesus.
Jason: It felt like the whole world came together. Me, you, the bed, the house. We're all one big, giant...
Amy Burley: Organism.
Jason: Yeah. Mine was huge. I never knew vamp blood could do something like this to you.
Amy Burley: Know what? Neither did I. I mean I've had V partners before, but this was on a totally different planet. You're an extraordinary being.

Who's nailin' Sookie?

Sookie started this episode upset over the alleged loss of her first love. Things have a way of working out and a graveyard scene was the highlight of the show.

Anna Paquin just gets better every week. This is her show and she shows it at the end where she is helping the vampires find out who stole their money.

Jason (Ryan Kwanten) seems to be settling down with his new girl Amy (Lizzy Caplan), but we are left wondering what kind of trouble she has gotten him in with the gay vampire.

Tara (Rutina Wesley) cannot believe the change in her mother, so she finally takes the big step. I can't wait to see that.

There is so much going on that one wishes it were daily instead of weekly.
