Storyline

Sookie is home from the hospital and is convinced that her relationship with Bill is over. She receives a message from Eric, who is still in Mississippi, that Russell is still out to get her and so prepares for his arrival. Eric has his own plans to get revenge on Russell. With Bill now home, Jessica begs him to teach her how to be a vampire. Tara is still suffering from her ordeal but refuses to talk to anyone about it. Jason is pleased when Crystal shows up on his doorstep, though with a black eye, saying she will not return to her home. Jason promises to defend her against her father and fiancé, but they too have their dark secrets. Lafayette meanwhile comes home to find his mother waiting for him, claiming she was released from the care facility.

Trivia

When Russell chastises Talbot for acting petulantly and not acknowledging how privileged he is, Russell sarcastically asks Talbot, "Are your diamond slippers chafing?" This is a reference to the Friends episode "The One with the List," in which Chandler responds to Ross's complaint about two women being in love with him with a sarcastic litany: "Oh, I know, this must be so hard: '...They're both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight!'"
