Tonight more story lines will intersect and we should get some more answers to certain questions. This is going to be a good episode.

Show is firing on all cylinders. Eric/Bill storyline is really awesome.

^^^^^AHEM
This is going exactly as I suspected.
Now I just need my Lilith suspicions to play out.

That...was not Russell's regular accent, right?

Sounded like he slipped into German. Makes sense.

Glad to see the story lines coming together now that Russel has kidnapped Emma. Pretty sure that means Russel and Steve are going to die now. Lots of foreshadowing in this episode. I'm predicting Alceide and the entire pack attacks and tries to kill them (due to Robert Patrick saying that a pack could beat other supes) but that Luna will be the one to kill Russel (she will get the drop on him by shifting into Steve...afterall the whole point of her shifting into Sam earlier was to remind the audience she was a skin walker which means there is going to be some sort of payoff down the road).

That ending musical cue was bizarre.
Vampires don't have a heartbeat, Russel would know it wasn't Steve immediately.

I thought about that. I'm thinking if Russel is in a room full of wolves being attacked he isn't going to be able to keep track of every heart beat he hears. It would just be overload.
I'm probably wrong on how it all plays out (just a shot in the dark prediction) but I do think it's likely Russel will meet his end at the hands of the wolves and Sam/Luna by the end of the season (ironic considering his ties to the wolves since his character was introduced).
Interesting what they did with Sweetie Des Arts. Kinda tied it to the book, but changed "her role" to one more..interesting, albeit shorter.
Overall was a nice episode, with a few things finally having a conclusion.
+ Bonus points for male nudity (though no Alcide!!
)..and Teenage Alcide (Blake Michael) looked nice, even though the guy's 16.!
...And good to see Robert Patrick.

the writers should have just showed up on screen and said "he's a bad guy for now deal with it".
It's pretty random but they're doing it because they waNNAAa

Worst part of this season besides the "lol Vampires are evil... again" storyarc.

Again? They were never good. In True Blood they are humanity's natural predator.

Eh, Nora's story implies the Lilith blood has some quality that makes vampires subservient. Eric was saved cause he had a particularly strong connection with Godric.

Good episode, I love when they start ramping things up by weaving all the story threads together while wrapping up some of the B plots. Also, the True Blood/Bunheads crossover has now come full circle.
But how come every time we get male frontal nudity on this show, it's always under less than desirable circumstances? At least the guy was hot this time, but it would be nice to see a guy get naked without becoming dinner next.

It's being built up for a couple of episodes now. His blood tasting experience during coitus tonight was enough for me to understand that he was going to succumb to Salome (Lilith's) delusions. A person that want's to believe would not have that experience and think, this is bullshit, I've got to get out of here. He's being a fake General (?) of Mississippi in the past. Now is his opportunity for more power than he's ever had before. "What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind believes."
There were female breasts and ass tonight.
The bumbling duo did a good job tonight. I was happy that they figured everything out in the course of one episode.
It made me laugh because it was so odd.

Great episode this week. The beginning was sort of weird, with all the full frontal male nudity. That's probably the most we've ever gotten in a single episode. I noticed that Russell got really close to that guy's dick when they all went in to feed on him. I bet that was intentional. lol
Lafayette comparing himself to Whoopi was great. He actually reminded me of Whoopi in "Ghost" during last week's seance scene, so to see that that was intentional on the writers' part was pretty fun.
I'm a little shocked that Terry shot Patrick and that the Ifrit arc is seemingly over. That was a very abrupt ending; a bit anti climactic.
And speaking of anti climactic...
The "Supe Killer" plot ended very abruptly. Dearborn is behind it all and he's dead and Sweetie and the others have been arrested and it's all over. That was wrapped up a little too quickly for my liking.
Also, it wasn't very clear who the Dragon was: Dearborn or Sweetie?
It's nice to see more of the story lines come together tonight. And Alcide, Sam, and Luna's arcs are now linked with Russell and Steve Newlin, which should provide some pretty cool stuff in the final three episodes of the season.
It's clear that he's under the influence of Lillith's blood. He isn't himself.
*bow*

I just meant that there's no progress with the vampire rights arc.
Not a bad episode. Nice that they're offering bits and pieces of closure to some of the plots. (Get the sense we'll hear about Terry's situation for another ep or two.)
I could see myself quickly growing tired of the new-look authority stuff, though.
I was pretty sure they said outright that it was Sweetie.

Bill is on dat Lilith high, man. Eric would've fallen too had it not been for Godric.

Sorry I searched, but could not find the answer. What was your Lilith suspicion?

I had originally guessed that Lilith was a female member of the authority in disguise. Now I'm not sure about that, but I do still think that she is real and not a hallucination.

Thanks, I could see the latter being true. The first part seems too far fetched now.

That blood covered lilith ass shot was amaaaaazing!
As if the writers of this show have that much internal logic on their minds.
Why aren't there vampire shifters or vampire witches? I'd totally make them vampires, who wouldn't want to be boss over a super vampire bear or gorilla?
Salome had the blood of Lilith stuff in her when Bill bit her, which is why he fell into line.
Interesting twist would be if the blood of Lilith is just Salome's blood and she has some weird mutant property that makes her blood an addictive drug for other vampires. Since fairy blood is the only blood known to be different for vampires and able to make them high, maybe she's Warlow or maybe Warlow worked for her, and she has some kind of special fairy blood? Maybe Eric's immunity isn't Godric's ghost, but the fact he fully drained a fairy himself.
