Recap: True Blood 2.09 "I Will Rise Up"

We pick up where we left off last episode…..Luke has entered the party at Godric’s house. When Jason goes to greet him, Luke tells him to back off. Luke begins to give his little speech while outside the house, Bill basically tells Lorena to f-off. She whooshes off. Inside the house, Luke detonates the bomb at the same moment that Bill realizes something is wrong with Sookie. He rushes inside the house to find that Eric covered Sookie with his own body to protect her. Bill rushes outside to get the other Fellowship boys. One drives off, but Bill manages to grab one and sings his teeth into the guy’s neck.

Inside the house, Isabel is trying to help the other injured vampires while Godric looks on. Sookie gets up and calls out for Jason. He seems to be only mildly injured. Sookie tries to help Eric and realizes that he can’t heal himself because the shrapnel is made of silver. He convinces her he’s dying and gets her to suck the shrapnel from his body. As she does it, he grins. Cheeky bastard.

Outside, Bill lets the Fellowship guy go to show the humans that vampires have mercy. Inside, Jason finds a severed hand (ew). Isabel updates Godric on the casualties. Bill arrives inside to find Sookie sucking Eric (not like that). He tells Sookie that she was conned and she gets pissed. Eric and Sookie now share a connection, apparently, and he can sense her feelings. Godric sends everyone off to the hotel and Sookie and Bill leave. Eric remains behind with his sire.

Back at the hotel, Sookie is bitching about being hoodwinked, but Bill tries to tell her it’s not her fault. Bill warns Sookie that she might be attracted to Eric now that she’s sucked his blood.

Back in Bon Temps, Jessica is complaining about being a perpetual virgin. Hoyt doesn’t care and wants to keep dating her and suggests she meet his mother. He warns her that Mama doesn’t like vamps, but Jessica doesn’t care what she thinks. She goes off to sleep while Hoyt promises to stick close.
