At Tara's birthday party, Sam follows Daphne out into the woods, where she reveals she is a shapeshifter. They start to make out, but are interrupted by Terry and Arlene, before Daphne wanders off. In Dallas, Sookie chases Barry, who tells her that if the Dallas vampires discover his abilities, it would mean trouble for them both. After Bill reprimands her for ordering a young man off of the Carmilla Hotel menu, Jessica calls Hoyt and the two talk about comic books. At the Light of Day Institute, Jason and the others are put through an intensive training course by Sarah, and a very demanding drill instructor. When Luke has trouble completing one of the exercises, Jason helps him out and is commended for it. Sookie tries to connect with Barry, learning he is ashamed of his abilities and can't control his telepathy. When she offers to teach him, Barry tells her to leave him alone. Meanwhile, Maryann tries to move into Sookie's house with Tara, who rebuffs her. Maryann casts a spell on Merlotte's patrons, turning them all against Tara to isolate her. Eventually, Tara concedes and invites Maryann to stay with her. In Dallas, Sookie offers to infiltrate the Fellowship of the Sun, posing as a convert in order to see if they are holding Godric. Bill disapproves of the plan, until Eric reveals that Godric was the one who turned him, saving Eric's life. After Jason walks in on Steve and Sarah having an argument, Steve shows Jason the seriousness of their mission with a bunker full of deadly weapons. Sarah later approaches Jason in the bath tub, and gives him a handjob. Lafayette resumes work as the Merlotte's cook. Sam and Daphne have sex. Sookie is saddened to learn that Barry quit his job, and Bill tries to comfort her. As they start to make love, a woman appears outside their room; Bill's maker, Lorena.
