Last night's episode felt like it was just putting the pieces on the board, so the powers-that-be can start moving them into action next week.

It was awfully convenient though that Eric finds himself in the home of his enemy. A bit too convenient for me, actually. But whatever, I'll let it be.
Alcide is great. And I love how they emphasize his nature by having him occasionally use a gruff voice, like he's one step away from barking (or howling I guess -- not sure if wolves bark). I hope they spend much more time with him and Sookie.
I think King Fancypants was just amused by Sookie's power because he views her as a weapon now, a weapon to be harnessed -- and he has such self-confidence that he'll be able to acquire her that it doesn't even occur to him to be concerned. And he may not be mistaken, for really, the power to zap a person's head and have them thrown a few feet backwards is not that great a power.
