Cut to Merlotte's, where Daphne finds Sam alone in his office. Sam yells at Daphne for not being able to reconcile her cash with her receipts and makes her pay him the difference. Tara comes in, spouting about how people don't learn without positive reinforcement and Sam wonders if Maryann is teaching her all about this affirmation nonsense. Sam says he doesn't want Maryann in Merlotte's anymore and warns Tara to stay away.
Sookie's laying face-down on a table at Fangtasia, her back bare and bloody. An old lady, Dr. Ludwig, is there to try and help her. The doctor says Sookie's been poisoned by a komodo dragon, which is sure to kill her. No, wait, the doctor uses the dragon as a simile - Sookie was just bit by something similar. The doctor sends Bill and Eric out while she tends to Sookie.
Outside, Eric is questioning Bill about what happened to Sookie. Eric sends Pam and Chow to search the woods where Sookie was attacked. In the other room Sookie screams out in agony and Bill rushes in to see Dr. Ludwig pouring something onto her wounds. I'm not even going to tell you about how the doctor then starts running her fingers through the gouges, because it's so gross. Ok? I'm not saying anything about that.
At the leadership camp, Jason wakes up, screaming. He seems to be having a dream, because Eddie (the vampire he helped Amy kill last season) is lying in bed with him. Jason soon wakes from his nightmare and prays.
Back at Fangtasia, the doctor says Bill can give Sookie his blood now. Eric offers his blood instead, but Bill refuses the offer. The doctor leaves as Sookie sucks down on Bill's blood. Pam and Chow return with news that the tracks in the woods were human, but the smell was animal. Eric offers Bill a coffin at Fangtasia so he can remain close to Sookie. Bill thanks Eric for his help and Eric alludes that there's a way for Sookie to repay him.


**So….is the show wimping out on all the gratuitous violence then? Will these words come back to haunt me?**
With this show, I am certain it will ;)
Awesome recap, clarissa. I plan on spending tomorrow avoiding housework and catching up on some episodes.
I am still scarred by the fact that Bill and Sookie are "together".
*shudders*
