4. Escape from Dragon House

Another killing in Bon Temps finds Jason back in custody with officers Andy and Bud. Tara gets him off the hook, but neither she nor Lafayette has the antidote to his current ailment. Urged by Gran to use her telepathic abilities to weed out the murderer and exonerate her brother, Sookie persuades Bill to take her to a Shreveport vampire bar called Fangtasia, where she impresses a dominant Nordic bloodsucker named Eric with her prescient powers. Later, Bill demonstrates his own considerable powers when an abusive patrolman stops the couple on their way home.

Complete story — includes the ending

Upon Sookie's discovery of Dawn, Jason shows up with a bouquet of flowers, as Sookie screams for help. Dawn's neighbor, upon seeing her body, accuses Jason of killing her. A crowd of police and onlookers gather, including Arlene Fowler, another Merlotte's waitress, her boyfriend Rene Lenier, and Hoyt Fortenberry, who both work with Jason's roadworks crew. Sam, who owns the block of houses, shows up to comfort Sookie. Bellefleur takes Jason in for questioning, and Jason remembers that he possesses a vial of illegal vampire blood and swallows the whole thing. The overdose gives Jason a severe case of priapism. Jason is taken home by Tara, who insists on taking him to the hospital to treat his erection. Adele has Sookie read the townspeople's minds to find evidence to clear Jason, and Bill agrees to take her to "Fangtasia" a  vampire bar in Shreveport. They encounter Bill's acquaintance, Pam and the bar's owner, Eric Northman, a thousand-year-old Viking vampire. Eric admits he slept with Dawn, but not Maudette. After Jason is treated, Tara reminisces about their childhood, when Jason would protect her from her mother's abuse. At Fangtasia, Sookie senses a human is being fed on in the bathroom, before a police chase ensues. Sookie, Bill, Pam and Eric escape just in time. On their way home, Bill is pulled over by a police officer, who Bill glamours into leaving them alone. Sam visits Dawn's and rolls around in her sheets, sniffing and writhing.
