maryannSam arrives at Maryann's house and one her manservant goes to fetch her.  Sam recognizes a statute on her table and we flash back to him as a teenager.  He breaks into a house (and it's hilarious because the dog version of himself looks younger) and steals some food and other valuables.  He also sees the same statute currently residing in Maryann's house.  Maryann greets him, asking what he's doing in her house, but it's the current version of Maryann (as in, I don't think she ages).

Sookie's looking like crap, sitting at her kitchen table all by herself.  Anna Paquin looks better with curly hair is all I'm saying.  She goes into her grandmother's bedroom and finds a half-knit scarf.  She gathers all of her grandmother's things around her on the floor and starts to put them in boxes when she cuts herself on the cardboard (those are the worst kinds of paper cuts!).

Mr. Lancaster, the family lawyer, comes by to tell Sookie that her great-uncle Bartlett has died.  Since he molested Sookie as a child, I don't think she should care.  Sookie asks what happened and Lancaster says he had been found in the river.  Lancaster reveals that Uncle Bartlett left his entire estate to Sookie.  Sookie is hesitant to take the money, but eventually does.

Back at Maryann's house, Maryann, Tara and Benedict "Eggs" Talley are lounging by the pool, smoking a joint.  Maryann goes off to get more fruit and Tara asks Eggs if he's ever slept with Maryann (apparently he hasn't).  Eggs comes on to Tara and the two are about to kiss when they're interrupted by the manservant (I don't know his name and I'm not going to look it up).  Tara goes off to change for work and we see that Maryann was spying on the couple outside.

Oh, wait, manservant is named Carl.  We learn this because Maryann calls him over and then smacks him, obviously upset that he interrupted Tara and Eggs.
