True Blood - "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"

Let me say it again, LAFAYETTE IS BACK. And, loose ends are starting to be tied up. This week brought resolution to a few of the minor story lines simmering in the background. Mercifully, the scourge of the dead Iraqi woman ghost ended with Terry killing Patrick and the mystery of the shifter hate crimes was solved. They needed to clear the way for the last three episodes to be focused on what this show is known for...Vampires.

With Russell back in Bon Temp with his replacement for his long lost Talbot...Steve Newlin... we return to the days when the werewolves were controlled by the Vamps. Russell proceeds to string them out on V and take Luna's puppy daughter as Steve's new pet.
Sookie and Hoyt, kidnapped and drugged, end up held hostage on former Sheriff Dearborn's pig farm. Guess who heads the band of hillbilly terrorists picking off shifters? Amazingly, Sheriff Balfour and Jason figure out who it is and get to them just in the nick of time. Am I the only one finding their CSI work a bit too intelligent? Andy maybe could have figured it out. But, let's be real. Jason is not known for his sleuthing.
The Vampire revolution is on. Eric is trying to escape but Bill and Salome are too intent with ruling the vamps to let the naysayer go. Eric is foiled in his attempt and taken into custody. Where is Godrick when you need him! My prediction is that Bill has something more self serving up his sleeve but we will have to wait three more weeks to figure it out.
Unfortunate event of the evening: there is a new vampire Sheriff in town and all hell has broken loose in Fangtasia as he declares open drink season on humans. What will Pam do? I would like nothing more than for her to rule the world!
