True Blood 6X1: Who Are You, Really?

You guys, I really, really enjoyed this episode. Maybe I'll be someone who likes the latter seasons of True Blood better than the earlier ones. 🤷‍♀️ But not enough to actually write the description myself. Yes, I know stealing from Wikipedia for True Blood is basically the norm now. But, it's typically the last thing I do for the week, and by that point, it's easy to convince myself that I've earned this. Sigh.

Picking up right where Season 5 ended, Sookie, Eric, Jason, Jessica, Nora, Pam and Tara flee the Authority compound after Bill's reincarnation. Sam, Luna, and Emma also escape from Authority headquarters, though Luna dies from her injuries, entrusting Sam to take care of Emma.

Meanwhile, Louisiana Governor Truman Burrell declares war on vampires, but also secretly partners with a Japanese rep to manufacture Tru Blood.

Eric says he is no longer Pam's maker, and she no longer follows his orders. Upset, Pam goes to Fangtasia with Tara, when some S.W.A.T. troopers arrive and shoot Tara, after announcing all Vampire businesses are closed.

Elsewhere, the distraught Jason hitchhikes and is picked up by an old man, who he believes to be Warlow; Jason shoots at the man who disappears, while the faerie blood contract promising Sookie to Warlow starts to glow.

Also, Alcide is about to have sex with a young woman in the pack to cement his new authority as alpha wolf when Rikki shows up, and they have a threesome.

In Bon Temps, Andy agrees to take care of his four faerie kids with Arlene's help. However, the four infants age quickly from babies to three-year-old girls overnight.

Jessica is summoned by Bill to his house, who now appears normal but more powerful. He is attacked by Eric and survives being staked from behind by Sookie. He demands they all leave, except Jessica.

Eric signs Sookie's house back over to her in his blood, while she takes back her invitation, and Nora notices that Eric is in love with Sookie.

Bill talks to Jessica in her bedroom to put her fears about him to rest, and after returning to his room, he sees Lilith (and three other nude and blood-covered vampire sirens like her), who appear to enter his body.
