Last week’s episode of True Blood showed Jason Stackhouse being knocked out by Hotshot residents so that Felton and Crystal could bite him. Their mission? To further the werepanther bloodline.
We also saw Marnie cursing Eric Northman with amnesia and him walking by the side of the road, with no idea as to his identity. (Read our recap here!) Tonight’s episode is titled, “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dying?” and it may answer some questions that are lingering.
Recap:
We’re back to the side of the road with Sookie approaching Eric, after he asks why she smells so good. She gets upset, telling him that he knows perfectly well why she smells the way she does. He said she smells like sunlight, wheat and honey.
She runs off after he approaches her car and she gets out and runs. He catches up, chanting the Latin phrases that Marnie used in her spell against him. She says she’ll help him, but he can’t touch or bite her.
Back at the Moon Goddess Emporium, Marnie has no idea what she did to make Eric leave. They suggest calling the cops, but Lafayette disagrees.
Back in Hotshot, Jason is still strapped to the bed, after being bitten by Felton and Crystal. The hillbillies in Hotshot are all gathered by a fire, talking about panther stories. Jason says if Felton is going to kill him, to be a man and do it now. Crystal swears that she’s not going to let Felton kill him. She thanked him for being generous and said once he turns, they’re going to be together.
A couple of guys are sneaking up on a vampire who is feeding on a girl, videotaping her. Bill watches the video with the vampire in his office. Bill tells the vamp that he broke the law and has to suffer the true death as a result. He comforts Jessica after learning that she was unfaithful to Hoyt.
At Sookie’s house, Eric is there and doesn’t remember that it’s his house. She invites him in and calls Pam. Pam arrives immediately. She asks Sookie to take Eric in and Sookie tells her to pay her for babysitting.
Sookie agrees and says she won’t tell Bill, because he’d use it as a reason to kill Eric for the AVL. Eric goes down to his cubby and corners Sookie. She tells him to let her go and he asks her again what she is. He shows his fangs and she walks by.

In Hotshot, Crystal is talking to Jason, telling her that she’s going to be mama to all of his baby cubs. She says Jason’s true purpose was to keep their race from going extinct. He pleads for a doctor and she says he’s being reborn. She gives him some Viagra and some water and kisses him.
Tara asks Sookie to make things right between Eric and Lafayette, because of the spell Marnie cast on him. Sookie says she hasn’t seen him. Tara explained what happened with Marnie and said she doesn’t want to see Lafayette dead.
