5. Sparks Fly Out

Complete story — includes the ending

Bill visits Sookie, and the two have an argument about their encounter with the police officer. Bill confesses that had Sookie not been there, he would've killed the officer. Sookie asks Adele about her problem, and Adele suggests that she not be afraid or suspicious of him just because he is different. Tara is furious at Lafayette for selling V-juice to Jason, but Lafayette convinces Jason to give it another try, instructing him on how to take it properly. At Merlotte's, Sam asks Sookie to go with him to the Descendents of the Glorious Dead meeting. Sookie becomes suspicious about Tara and Jason, learning that Tara lied to the police for Jason's alibi. At the meeting, a crowd gathers at the church for Bill's speech. Bill recounts the loss of his friend Tolliver Humphries during the Civil War, and becomes emotional when the Mayor presents Bill with a photograph of his former wife and children. After the meeting, Sookie and Sam share coffee, and Sam insists that Bill is dangerous, regardless of Sookie's feelings. Jason, Rene and Hoyt dine together, where Jason (high on vampire blood) professes his love for Tara, who waits until he is sober for the conversation. Bill is visited by Sheriff Dearborne and Andy, who question him about the murders. Bill claims vampires can't resist a body full of human blood; the victims were not exsanguinated, so the killer couldn't be a vampire. After they leave, Bill remembers how he was turned by a vampire named Lorena, who separated him from his family. Tara becomes angry when she catches Jason having sex with another girl. Sookie returns home, finding her grandmother dead in a pool of her own blood.
