Storyline

Tara and Eggs are driving down the highway when he suddenly realizes he has memories of having been there before. As he explores the nearby woods, he realizes it is an evil place. Sam and Daphne are having a good time and go frolicking in the woods. She has a surprise for him that is not welcome. Eric is out to take possession of Sookie and has Bill's old girlfriend, who has not seen him for 70 years, come to town. We learn that Bill was not always the gentle, mild-mannered vampire he is today. In Dallas, Sookie is partnered with Hugo - another human who is dating a vampire - for their visit to the Light of Day Institute. Posing as an engaged couple looking for a church to wed, they meet the Newlins and have a tour of the church - but Steve also has a surprise for them. Jason is asked to build a scaffold for a sunrise ceremony where a vampire will be exposed to the dawn sun before the entire congregation. Jason is having serious doubts about whether he wants to be part of this group.

Goofs

Lorena tells Eric that she has not seen Bill in over seventy years, to which Eric replies that he has not seen his maker for much longer and then in a Season 3 flashback Eric and Godric are seen hunting werewolves during World War II, therefore seventy years would have been the maximum length of time that Eric and Godric could possibly have been apart. However, it is said later that Eric has had a thousand years to practice deceit. More than likely he was lying to Lorena in order to get her to do what he wanted which would fit in with his character.

Meet the Sun

Sookie does not change her decision of going to the Light of the Day, and Isabel brings her beloved human Hugo to go with Sookie. She reads his mind and realizes that he is indeed in love for Isabel and is a trustful man. They pretend to be engaged and looking for a church to the wedding, but they do not lure Steve. Eric brings Lorena to the Hotel Carmilla to force the separation of Bill and Sookie. She recalls her life with Bill in 1926 in Chicago, when he was an evil vampire. Jason and Luke are invited to build a platform with a cross for the ceremony "Meet the Sun", when a vampire is exposed to be burnt by the sun. Later, Sarah tells Jason that Steve is lying and he actually intends to use the "Soldiers of the Sun" to star a war. The old heater of Sookie's house has a problem and Tara travels with Eggs in Maryann's Jaguar to buy a part; while in the road, Eggs sees a building and he recalls that he has already been in that place. Daphne and Sam are walking through the woods and Sam has a dreadful surprise.

This show is probably the best of this season. The intentions of Maryann will be finally disclosed, and Sam is really in danger. Sookie and Hugo are imprisoned in the church and Bill is apparently powerless to save his beloved human. This episode ended in a climax and a hope the sequel resolves all these situations. My vote is eight.
