Here’s what happens in Episode 9, Plaisir D’Amour (The Joys of Love):

Sookie accurately identifies the person responsible for stealing money from Eric Northman, the vampire owner of the vampire bar Fangtasia. Unfortunately, the culprit is a vampire who decides to silence Sookie.

Permanently.

The thief, Long Shadow, gets staked by Bill. Since Bill staked a vampire for a human he has to pay reparations. Eric suggests he give him Sookie as payment but of course Bill refuses. Bill downplays the debt owed to Eric so Sookie won’t worry.

Sookie and Bill return to Sookie’s home to find that someone has killed her cat and hung it from a ceiling fan. This prompts Bill to visit Merlotte’s to seek Sam’s assistance in watching out for Sookie since he (Bill) has to leave town for a while. Sam agrees of course. Turns out Bill is leaving because he has to stand trial for killing Long Shadow.

Eric accompanies Bill to Merlotte’s and informs the townspeople that they (vampires) can sense those that have wronged them. This serves to scare one of the guys responsible for killing Malcolm and his vampire thugs. Note: the Eric in the series is much colder and detached than the one in the books.

Jason realizes how dangerous his situation with Amy has gotten. It’s clear that she’s drained vampires before and he’s scared of what might happen if the vampire escapes. However, after seeing the effect that fresh vampire blood has on Amy, Jason is unable to resist taking a taste. What follows is a graphic psychedelic sex scene full of bright sparkles and New Age music (I say it again, Jason has an outstanding butt).

Later, Amy proclaims her love for Jason. Surprisingly enough, he reciprocates. You know, Amy talks a good game about living a “clean” life by not eating processed foods but her actions make her a big hypocrite. She tries to justify herself by saying “a lot of bad things have happened in my life so I deserve this.”

Although Jason may be fickle at times he’s no killer and he’s definitely not someone that tortures others. Eddie, the captured vampire, picks up on this and attempts to get to know Jason in order to persuade him to free him. This serves to humanize him; it also gives him an opportunity to try to turn Jason against Amy. This doesn’t work but it does plant some seeds of doubt in Jason’s mind.

Tara decides to visit Miss Jeanette, the witch doctor who exorcised Lettie Mae, her previously alcoholic mother. Miss Jeanette tells Tara that her demon is much worse and more dangerous than the one she removed from her mother. She tells Tara that it will cost $799.95 to perform the ritual and that she shouldn’t wait to long to get rid of what’s inside her because it’s quickly becoming a part of who she is.

Sam, who’s really quite sweet, visits Tara’s home to bring her flowers and tell her that he wants them to have a real relationship. Unfortunately Tara rebuffs him and he leaves hurt and angry. However, he later gives Tara the money for her exorcism. Poor Tara, she doesn’t understand why she behaves the way she does. We know that it’s directly linked to her childhood but she may never come to that understanding.

Sookie decides to leave work early to stay overnight at Bill’s place. Sam attempts to follow her but gets intercepted by Andy Bellefleur who’s trying to determine why Sam was seen running naked through the woods. Sam stalls Andy by telling him he needs to get something from the bar; we next see a dog leave from the same door that Sam entered. We then see the same dog outside Sookie’s house who takes him in for the night (thinking he’s a stray) and names him Dean. He’s a pretty dog. Dean settles in for the night at the foot of Sookie’s bed. Sookie wakes up later in the night to find a man in her bed. Guess who it is!

Weirdest Scene: Pam picking “vampire” out of Sookie’s cleavage at Fangtasia.
