Storyline

Bill comes face to face with his kidnappers and the vampire King of Mississippi, who has an interesting proposition for him. Bill is not keen on the proposal but refusing may put Sookie in danger. Back in Bon Temps, Sookie learns more about the symbol she saw on the neck of one of Bill's kidnappers and subsequently sees a rather ominous looking figure lurking around. Eric offers to protect her, but he clearly wants something else from her. Tara survives her suicide attempt and meets a new vampire at Merlotte's bar. Sam meanwhile has tracked down his biological family who confirm what he already suspected. Jason is growing irritated at the amount of publicity Andy Bellefleur is receiving over shooting Eggs. Jessica meanwhile turns to Pam for advice on being a vampire and on how to dispose of a body.

As Godric was Eric's maker, they could not have been together during WW2 if they had not seen each other in much longer than 70 years.

Franklin gains access to a house despite being a vampire and not being invited. The True Blood lore (like many other vampire lores) says vampires cannot enter a house without an invitation. However, that only applies to houses owned by humans.

Eric Northman: We posed as what would ever help us in our search.
Sookie Stackhouse: But your were hunting Nazi werewolves?
Eric Northman: The symbol is runic. This pack dates back a lot further than the Nazi party.
Sookie Stackhouse: So they're not Nazis?
Eric Northman: Oh, they're much more than that. These are not ordinary werewolves. They're organized, well funded and highly trained. They're fuelled by vampire blood.
Sookie Stackhouse: Why didn't you tell me this last night?
Eric Northman: Bigger question is, why am I risking everything to tell you now? My ...
