While that mystery has begun to unravel, I’m wondering if there’s a new one building with Jesus.
WATCH TRUE BLOOD SEASON 3 EPISODE 8 HOW TO
You can’t fight something you don’t know how to defend against. If she knew that, she owed it to him to tell him what she - and they - are. Clearly Crystal doesn’t know Jason either or she would’ve guessed that he would eventually go to Hot Shot.
He knew she wanted to stay but was just afraid. Crystal asked for his keys to leave, but Jason kissed her. He was in one, and ”they washed my brain.” In classic Jason fashion, he followed up that stupid statement with something simple and poetic: Crystal told him that she got the shiner because she told Felton she wasn’t going to marry him, and Jason asked how she made him feel this way - like he was home. If it’s a cult she’s in, he could understand, he told her. While Sam hugged a weeping Tara (and I wished she was emotionally stable so they could get it on - Team Sam!), damsel-in-distress Crystal told Jason how she’s been promised to Felton since she was four years old.
Maybe she’s a witch, which I don’t think this True Blood universe really needs, but since Lafayette’s mother mentioned witches and vampires were coming for him when she showed up at his place, who knows? Maybe she’s whatever telepathic being Sookie is and was sent undercover to keep an eye on her. ”Don’t sleep with her.” With that high hairline, Holly would definitely be a vampire if this were an early Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, but I’m not sure what she is in this world… She knew that Arlene was pregnant, but didn’t say how. ”This is Holly, your new waitress,” she told Sam. Arlene finally found time to conduct an interview. While Jason got her a towel and whiskey, we cut to Merlotte’s, where Tara flashed back to the moment she first served Franklin. She swam to his place from Hot Shot because it was the only way they (her father and now ex-fiancé) couldn’t track her sent. Before he could leave his house, Crystal showed up with a black eye, asking to borrow his truck. Speaking of not listening to logic, Jason was ready for Operation Kill Bill and looked through his Fellowship of the Sun keepsake box for bullets. But please, someone jump that man already!
”‘Cause logic sure as hell ain’t workin’.” There goes my dream of Tara and Alcide. ”Good, maybe you can flirt some sense into that girl,” Tara said. She stormed off and ran into Alcide, who stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of Sookie. Tara is convinced that Bill is as cold and crazy as Franklin but she won’t tell Sookie why. She hasn’t cheated, but she wanted to (ooh, with Eric, Alcide, or both, I would have paused the fight to ask). Sookie said she and Bill aren’t that different: She knows what it’s like to be afraid of her own body and not know what it might do next. ”Let me tell you somethin’, at the end of those songs, the dumb bitches always end up dead.” (Tara must not listen to Miranda Lambert, but point taken. ”You know what you sound like? One of those sad country songs about dumb bitches who let their men cheat and beat on ’em all for the sake of true love,” Tara said. Sookie admitted Bill’s dangerous side was one of the things she fell in love with, and that no matter what had transpired, what they had was real and she couldn’t just turn it off like a switch. The two laid side-by-side like two ”normal” girls chatting about relationships. Sex dream! (Can’t wait to see the real Franklin return next week.) The real Tara woke up and went outside to find Sookie sunbathing in a bikini top and short-shorts, an image that showed why Anna Paquin has graced the cover of Self magazine. Franklin appeared, fangs drawn, and they kissed. You knew something was up when she started enjoying lathering one part of her anatomy a little too much. Over at Sookie’s, Tara tried to wash Franklin away with a morning shower.
