An emotional Luna escapes from the hospital after morphing into Sam and she cannot change back, and Sam continues to help Andy try to find the vigilantes. At Authority headquarters, the Chancellors revel in the afterglow of the recent events. Bill is shaken by a century-old memory of his dying daughter when he is persuaded by Salome to feed on a young mother. However, Eric sobers after his message from Godric, but Nora will not back away from her newly found dogma. Helped by Claude and his faerie sisters, Sookie and Jason visit the site of their parents' deaths in an attempt to learn the identity of the killer. Meanwhile, Tara has a run-in at Fangtasia with an old high school rival, whom Pam glamors to be Tara's personal blood bank. Hoyt's new friends bring him a present: Jessica, whom they try to persuade him to kill. Hoyt instead frees her and refuses to associate with her any more. Elsewhere, Lafayette returns home from Mexico, and Arlene and Holly pay him to lead a séance, during which the dead Iraqi woman demands the death of either Terry or Patrick. Also, J.D. increases the stakes of his fight with Alcide when he decides their prey will be a college athlete. Alcide, while protecting the man, loses his right to leadership, and is saved from death by pack matriarch Martha. In the war against mainstreamers, Bill proposes destroying all five Tru Blood-producing factories, telling Eric that he is "evolving."
