"Nice" people sometimes do bad things

Warning: Spoilers
After the cliffhanger ending last week I was fairly sure that the fourth body wouldn't be Bill... sure enough he was alive and well sleeping underground in the graveyard, conveniently Sookie was there when he emerged so they could have some outdoor sex. Meanwhile brother Jason is having a surprisingly non-sexual time with hippyish Amy, although this being "True Blood" she has taken her top off. It looks like Amy is going to help Jason control his V-habit and improve his general behaviour, however it turns out she is willing to take fairly extreme measures to get her hands on vampire blood.

Sam provides some nice comedy by explaining how his naked run through the woods was just his way of honouring the memory of his naturist parents, this story is soon disproved and he seems more suspicious than ever. It seems that Lettie Mae's visit to the exorcist has worked as she has returned to church and poured away her remaining booze surprisingly Tara doesn't seem that pleased, in fact she seems more angry than ever; perhaps she needs to seek similar help herself.

It is surprising how many good story threads they manage to cram in to one hour but with a good script and a fine cast they manage it well and keep each of the story lines interesting. I particularly liked Lizzy Caplan's portrayal of new character Amy, I hope she hangs around for a while.
