True Blood 5X2: Authority Always Wins
🕑 Added 2025-02-21 22:00:07 +0000 UTCAlright, so Tara is a vampire. And she's completely out of control. She destroys the entire house, attacks then, runs around like a whirling dervish. And then gets super pissed (no surprise there, you guys knew she'd hate this) and leaves. However, this is not before Lafayette almost has a change of heart. Sookie finds him standing over Tara with a stake muttering about whether or not he'd be able to go through with it.
Meanwhile, Bill, Eric, and Nora are all thrown in jail and then interrogated (and lied to) by the Authority. They are tortured as the Authority tries to figure out whether they are believe humans should only be used as food. They keep telling them 'no', but they don't really seem to believe it. Eventually, Nora is taken (and I think killed?) and they are golding some kind of meeting to decide if Bill and Eric should also meet the true death. In a last ditch effort, Bill tells them that Russell is still alive and will come looking for the two of them. So, if they want to kill him (I mean, he's a way worse vampire than Eric or Bill), they'll lead them right to him.
I think Jason and Luna may have broken up. He's trying to treat the three of them like a family and she keeps reiterating that Emma is her daughter and he doesn't get a say. They curse each other out, tell them both they are psycho, and Sam finally leaves. I hope that's it for this (it's 100% not since Emma has now shifted) because I don't really care about any of these werewolves except for Alcide. And only because he doesn't spend all his time talking about how he's a werewolf.
Jason and Andy find Debbie's car. I didn't even think about the aftermath of her dying. She was more werewolf than human in my mind so I guess I didn't think that laws really applied. (Although, we saw Sookie cleaning up her blow up body parts, so I should have known). Andy also finds some V in the car, which he initially pockets before handing it over to Jason, who pours it out. Progress, Andy.
Ooh, and we also get some interesting Pam backstory. She ran a brothel back in 1905 and ran into Eric (I assume this is the first time they've met) when he killed a man who was harassing her. She's not as fazed by it as he thought she would be and he ends up giving her some money to clean the blood off her dress.
And Terry's PTSD seems to be getting worse. He's having flashbacks and he doesn't seem realize they've already happened. He's scaring the hell out of Arlene. So, she goes to see Patrick, but he tells her he can't think of anything crazy that Terry might have seen during duty to cause this. Then, Terry shows up tells Patrick that Eller (?) is actually alive, so they should go see if he's the guy who is starting the fires. I don't know if this storyline is intentionally vague, or if I just don't know what's happening with Patrick and fires.
