She pours it away calling him a  “psychopathic Frat Boy” and lastly she finds a very nice cubby he’s built himself.

Jessica awakes, finding Hoyt icing his bumps and bruises. She tries to get him to drink her blood to heal, but he tells her that he doesn’t need that shit.

Nan pronounces him King, and tells him to go get cleaned off, that he’s “covered in Queen.”

Sookie tries to appeal to Pam, who doesn’t exactly have a softer side. Sookie says that she’ll wait for Eric. Pam tells her that she should reconsider his offer, that she needs to be someone’s or that she won’t be. She tells her that he’s handsome and rich, and that he actually cares for her in her own way. Sookie refuses to be anyone's puppet, not even Eric's. And Pam delivers the best line of the night. "It's a shame, he pulls good string."

Jessica makes her way to Fangtasia, and immediately hones in on the fangbanger, Matt she turned down the night before. And immediately they head off together.

  The shifters talk about the most messed up thing they had ever shifted into. Luna reveals that she shifted into her mother before, and how she was raised listening to Navajo stories of the skin walkers, witches that shifted and gained power through killing the one they were shifting into. Luna says it was crazy and scary. They suddenly smell another shifter, and Sam takes off after Tommy.

Tara calls home to her girlfriend, Naomi. Lafayette asks where they’re gonna get a dead body. Eric goes to see the coven.

Sam tells him that the group is that for him, helping him cope before he shoots someone. Tommy wants them to be brothers, and Sam says that they can try. Tommy leaves before the group can find him.

Eric is looking for Marnie, telling her that this is the last time the coven meets. Marnie tries to negotiate, but Lafayette tells her that Eric tends to get his way. Marnie tells the coven to join hands, and Eric seizes Marnie, biting her, but Lafayette doesn’t join in until Tara tries to hit Eric and he grabs her instead. With Lafayette joined in and the circle. The lights go out, and a wind whips through. Marnie chants in another voice, and casts a spell upon Eric, as she flashes back and forth to another person.

Crystal and Felton finally clue Jason in on their plan. They needs to propagate the blood line since Felton is shooting blanks, and to make sure that the baby is a panther, they need to make him one too. They both change into Panther, and bite him.

Sookie drives home, seeing a shirtless Eric walking along the side of the road. He looks lost, and delicious. He claims to not know her, but as he smells her he asks “Why do you smell so good?”
