Relieved that the whole Bill plot to (originally) procure Sookie was revealed by Eric. That question needed to be settled one way or the other. Bill turning out to be self-deluded -- always professing how he's not like other vampires, but being every bit as devious as every other vampire -- was interesting. I'll be ok with Sookie being single next year if that's the way it goes.
Relieved that Eric survived. I thought he would, but I was still grateful the reveal came in this episode and not later. Eric's back was on the dirt (unlike the King, whose back was on concrete), so he had a chance to dig his way out (even if they credited his assistant Pam for rescuing him). I feel bad that Eric would not listen to Godric though.
Eric can redeem himself through actions. Bill can only profess that he really truly loves Sookie, and beg her for redemption from his lies. Advantage to Eric. Eric seems the more noble character at the moment, because Bill might really be deluded about himself. Eric has no illusions about himself -- he knows he is good even when he shouts that he is bad.
About Jason and the love of his life, I believe that Jason knows that she will only come back to him if he stands up and leads those inbreds. That said, if I were him I'd just get them on food stamps real quick. Assuming food stamps are something that can be given in perpetuity, without any proof of having been employed before, and without proof of looking for work. Crystal will be back. She loves him too much not to come back.
I don't believe the Queen and Bill will fight to a death. She can easily fend off Bill's attacks, and yet she won't kill him on the speculation that she might need him to tell her where Sookie is. Not that either of them know she's vanished, but, just the natural speculation that Bill might be hiding her.
I'm hopeful that Lafayette will be able to save the day on Reba McEntyre... I mean Arlene... once he learns to use his psychic ability more clearly. Still worried for Lafayette, but less so.
Not worried for Jessica anymore. It seems clear the writers enjoy having us worry she'll be killed more than they enjoy actually killing her. If anything, Hoyt is at risk from a bad shot.
If this were the end of the series, I'd be satisfied that it was an interesting series.
I think I'll probably read the first Charlaine Harris book now.
