The Half-Human Half-Bull Creature

Bill has a serious argument with Sookie that was completely irresponsible bringing Jessica home. Sookie gets out of the car and decides to walk alone the 20 miles home. However, she is attacked by a creature half-human half-bull that scratches her back. Bill takes her to Eric in Fangtasia and he calls Dr. Ludwig to help her. While recovering she discovers that Lafayette is arrested in the basement. Eric makes a deal with Sookie to release Lafayette. Jessica goes to the Merlotte's bar and meets Hoyt; they have an instantaneous crush on each other. Tara stays with Eggs in a party of Maryann that becomes a bacchanal. Sam decides to leave town, and goes to a midnight swim before. Daphne, the new waitress in Marlotte's, decides to join him and discloses a secret while undressing.

In "Scratches", Sookie makes a deal with Eric to save Lafayette. Jessica and Hoyt are in deep love and Tara finally feels that something is wrong in Maryann's manor. The orgy in her house upsets her. Who is Daphne? My vote is eight.
