Complete story — includes the ending

Wolves attack Eric, Bill and Alcide while Russell attempts to feed on Sookie until she repels him with her powers. Fortunately, the Vampire Authority soldiers appear and take Russell to the Authority -- after Bill and Eric glamor Sookie and Alcide to forget everything -- where they are praised as heroes. At Fangtasia, Tara's fistfight with Jessica over drinking Hoyt's blood ends quickly after Pam intervenes. Meanwhile, Lafayette visits Ruby Jean in the hospital after realizing they both received the same message from Jesus. Sam and Luna are taken to the hospital where Sam tells a frantic Luna that Emma escaped. Just then Emma and Marcus's mother arrive, and Luna accepts that Emma should stay with her until the shifter murders have stopped. Sookie learns more from Jason about their parents' death, and they go to the faerie night club, only to learn her parents died because of her blood. Elsewhere, Sam chooses to help Andy with the shifter murders, and at the specialized weapons store that arms humans against "Supes", Sam saves Andy's life. After sighting the Ifrit, Terry rushes home and explains to Arlene that she is no longer safe with him because of the curse. Alcide returns to challenge J.D. as pack leader. Eric and Bill realize that either Nora or Salome must have dug up Russell. As the Authority gathers to witness Russell's execution via iStake, the device fails to operate, and Russell suddenly kills Roman with the Judas tree stake.
