Quotes:

Bill Compton: [in bed with Sookie after finding the cat dead] Aren't you tired?
Sookie Stackhouse: Everytime I close my eyes, I see her face.
Bill Compton: Your cat?
Sookie Stackhouse: Gran. But now that you mention it, Tina's in there too.
Bill Compton: You do know that I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. That I am here for you, to protect you.
Sookie Stackhouse: What if I don't wanna need to be protected? What if wanting to be protected makes me feel like the helpless little girl I used to be all over again?
Bill Compton: Sookie... all of the things that you need to be protected from, all of the trouble you're in, you are in because of me. So, you needing to be protected has nothing to do with you or who you are. All of it is my fault. So why don't you just go to sleep and let me be the one to worry about it.
Sookie Stackhouse: Bill, all the trouble I'm in, it's mine. I chose it. I chose it when I chose you.
Bill Compton: Yes, but...
Sookie Stackhouse: Don't you think I wanna blame somebody else? But what happened to my Gran, and now to poor Tina, it's my fault. And it's sweet of you to try to take it on from me, but if I let you, I'd be so mad at you, I'd never be able to look at you again. And right now your face is just about the only thing getting me by. So why don't we just leave it on me, okay?

Going to the Vampire Trial

Bill kills Longshadow to protect Sookie and now he must travel to face a vampire trial. He asks Sam to protect Sookie since there is a serial- killer hunting her. Jason befriends Eddie but he does not let the vampire go. Sam gives eight hundred dollars for the exorcism of Tara. Detective Andy Bellefleur investigate the naturism camp in Texas and finds that Sam's parent have never been associated to the club. Sookie decides to spend the night in Bill's house with Sam's dog and she has a surprise in the middle of the night.

In this episode, Tara is convinced that she needs an exorcism to change her behavior. Jason has a long conversation with Eddie that tells him that Amy is a psychopath. But the most important, I believe that Sam's secret will be disclosed on the next episode. My vote is seven.
