‘True Blood’ Recap: Bill Makes A Devastating Discovery

Sookie (Anna Paquin) finally made her way back to the house for the first time since Alcide (Joe Manganiello) died. Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) and James (Nathan Parsons) were there when she arrived. (Oooooh.) Sookie got a little emotional about everything that had happened and Lafayette put her to bed. He’s so sweet. She pleaded with him not to leave her as she slept. He didn’t and Sookie slept for a LONG time.

When the Sleeping Beauty of Bon Temps awoke, Alcide’s dad had arrived. Why, you ask? Because Lafayette had cooked up a party! To say f–k you to death and hello to life.

Sookie wasn’t too impressed with the idea. She was still just plain said. After some heavy convincing, she caved. What helped was Bill showing up at the door with flowers. (Aw!)

‘True Blood’ Recap: Love Is In The Air Or Just Lust

Eric and Pam hit up Dallas and immediately found Amber. Like Eric, she was infected with the Hep V virus and wasn’t on good terms with Sarah. Apparently, Sarah had lied about everything. When she asked if they were planning to kill Sarah, Eric said, “There’s a real good chance that’s what’s going to go down.”

Surprisingly, Amber was ALL in. According to her, Sarah had just gotten to Dallas and was going to cry to mommy and daddy at the Ted Cruz gala at the Bush Library. But only a**holes were invited to the party, Amber said.

Eric smirked and said, “We can be a**holes.” Pam loved Amber and she doesn’t approve of anyone.

Meanwhile, Bill was continuing to have flashbacks to his time before he became a vampire. There was this weird foreboding feeling to each one of them. Weird.

Anyone who was anyone in Bon Temps was at the Stackhouse party. Jason (Ryan Kwanten), Violet, Arlene (Carrie Preston), Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll)…the list went on. Even Lettie Mae showed. (Oh no.) Alcide’s dad made a heartfelt speech about Alcide and his love for Sookie. (Awkward alert.) “You were worth it, Sookie,” he said as Sookie was about to lose it.

“My boy died a hero. But you can’t die a hero without having a righteous cause,” he said.

Lettie Mae (Adina Porter) also wanted to make a toast to Tara. She called Tara her hero. (RIP Tara.)

Jessica was feeling a little down at the party, as she was still grieving. Andy told her to please move on because she was keeping the grief alive for him, too. He wanted her to be happy because he was going too propose to Holly! But he needed a ring.

Sookie had just the ring — her grandmother’s. There was quite the awkward moment in the room between Jessica, Jason and Violet. While Jessica thought the ring was beautiful, Violet huffed, “That’s it?” Nevertheless, Andy made a loving proposal to Holly and she accepted!

So love was in the air, but not with people you’d expect. James wanted to leave the party with Jessica, but Jess wanted to stay (and keep her eye on Jason.) Since he couldn’t leave, James started chatting/flirting with Lafayette. Their intimate convo quickly transitioned into them kissing and eventually doing it in a car!

After the “Alcide was a hero” toast, Sookie just needed a good cry and Arlene was the perfect person to have girl talk with. Alcide’s dad was eavesdropping on the convo though. Arlene was just the best — she always has the best advice. Arlene revealed to Sookie that death always hurts, no matter how much you’re prepared for it. (Amen.)

‘True Blood’ Recap: Dangerous Liaisons

In the least shocking news ever, Jessica caught James and Lafayette doing it. Needless to say, she was back to being sad again.

However, Jason decided to cheer her up. He wanted Jess to accept the fact that James was gay. Lafayette tried to apologize, but Jessica wasn’t in an accepting mood. Lafayette came back in the room and said she needed to check herself because she didn’t know James at all, but he did.

“If you don’t love him, let him go and I will take over from here,” Lafayette told Jess.

Sookie was getting drunk and having a party in her head with everyone’s thoughts. Over in the corner, Bill was having ANOTHER 19th century flashback. But he quickly returned to the present day when Sookie came into view.

Bill cheered Sookie up and told her that she’d done more in days than he’d done in decades. She thanked him for his kind words and for seeing her in a way that she can’t. They hug and they may have almost kissed, but maybe that’s just what my mind wanted me to see.

Inside the party, Lettie Mae was out for blood. Willa’s blood to be exact. She stabbed Willa and all the fangs came out. She claimed that Tara had been contacting her from the other side and that was the only way to connect back. (That’s questionable.) After that, a very pregnant Nicole flipped out about all the crazy in town. Girl, you need to leave.
