True Blood Season 4 Ep 10: Burning Down the House

The latest episode of True Blood starts out with total pandemonium as Antonia commands the vampires to kill the king. Eric and Bill are fighting each other to the death and he’s about to kill Bill when Sookie throws a double fairy whammy on him and all his memories shoot back. Antonia realizes that she lost control of him and as she surveys all the dead people, she’s shocked at what she’s done.

Sookie and Eric stare at each other, trying to evaluate what’s going to happen now. They are sitting on the sofa talking and he tells her he remembers everything. When she looks kind of sick, he demands to know what the problem is. She tells him that when he was about to kill Bill, she could not imagine a world without Bill in it so she was able to send a huge jolt of magic into him which broke the spell. He finds this hard to believe but she states that she loves them both. “Lovable, isn’t he?” Eric snidely says as Bill makes plans to blow up the emporium and kill everyone inside. Looks like the true Eric is starting to show.

Alcide is racing Tommy to the hospital but he knows he’s dying. It’s really hard to watch, he keeps shifting back and forth, legs and arms at unnatural angles, it’s like a horror movie. He begs Alcide to take him home. Sam zooms in and holds Tommy’s hand. He tells him the story about people seeing a white light and feeling peace when they die. Tommy says there is no heaven and hell is a dog fight. He tells Sam he’s sorry for everything and then he dies. What a short horrible life. Sam promises that he will kill Marcus.

Jason is having a major guilt attack over having had sex with Jessica. Jason can only talk about Hoyt and Jessica doesn’t want to hear it. He blames it on drinking her blood and he wants her to glamour him into forgetting that their sexcapade happened. She leaves in disgust.

Terry and Arlene confront Andy about using V. Terry takes him to their old treehouse from when they were kids to get him clean. A lot of old family tensions come to the surface – arguing about who had it the worst when they were growing up. They start fighting and Andy hits rock bottom, he’s worried that the V ate his soul, but Terry tells him that a man without a soul could not cry. The two of them hug and it looks like Andy has made it. Terry needs to go into the intervention business. He could give A&E a run for their money.

Jason drives to Sookie’s house and she asks for his help to stop Bill from killing Tara and the witches. They go to Lafayette and Jesus to recruit them as well. Jesus is going to try and reach Marnie and get her to push Antonia out. Little does he know that Marnie is the one holding on to Antonia, she actually convinced the ghost to re-possess her after Antonia tried to leave.

Jesus approaches Marnie at the emporium but she has spelled a very painful shield around the building. She tells him that he’s got to get through the shield and it does not look like he is going to make it. But then he turns into some kind of demon which surprises her and they chat about his new powers. Jesus asks to speak directly to Marnie and Antonia allows it. He tells her she’s possessed and she says “you think this is against my will?” which has Jesus send a telepathic message to Sookie telling her that Marnie is in league with the ghost witch.

Tara and another witch try their hand at escaping and they get outside where Sookie and Lafayette rush to meet them. Antonia catches everybody and transports them to another place. Now Antonia has Sookie…

Marcus is at Debbie’s house looking for Alcide. Debbie talks about how Alcide ignores her and her need for children and the way it looks, she and Marcus are going to hook up. Maybe they can make babies. Meanwhile, Sam and Alcide show up at Marcus’ shop and they beat up one of the guys who killed Tommy.

Eric and the vampire crew are driving to the emporium to kill themselves some witches. It’s quite a hot looking group as the four of them walk up to the building carrying weapons, dressed in black and ready to kill. They look they are straight out of some summer blockbuster action flick – terminator flashback anyone?
