The "Inside the Episode" video features "Me and the Devil" director Daniel Minahan and writer Mark Hudis as the two discuss some of the inner workings of the ep. This includes the use of a puppet alligator and a real, live gator during the scene were Sam and Tommy nearly got caught smuggling their dead parents out to the swamp.Last week on "True Blood" brought the conflict between the vampires and the witches to the forefront as Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) finally came face-to-face with Marnie (Fiona Shaw), the leader of the coven.
Later, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) took matters into his own hands and captured Marnie to learn how to reverse the spells she cast on Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and Pam (Kristin Bauer). Unfortunately for Eric. Pam unwittingly revealed that his memory had been wiped and that Sookie had been hiding him at her house... leading Bill to speed off and confront his helpless rival.Tonight's episode brings us to the halfway point in Season 4. Last week it felt like the show was taking a deep breath before the plunge into the inevitably crazier second half of the season. Tonight it took the plunge by hammering some significant plot pins into place.
Firstly, the less important, but still entertaining plot, of Jason's trials as a werepanther. Assuming he's going to turn into a werepanther at the full moon, Jason handcuffs himself to the bed. After he spills the beans to Sookie about why he's handcuffed to the bed - "it's not some sex thing" - she quickly points out what we were all thinking: his panther paws are going to slip right through the cuffs. Sookie sticks by her brother as the night wears on, and when he runs away, she follows him into the woods. But instead, she meets Debbie and Alcide (begrudgingly) on their way to a pack meeting. They tell her that being a were-something is hereditary, so you can't be bitten and then made into one.
Looks like Jason's cat is out of the bag, and so is Tara's. Her New Orleans girlfriend Naomi discovered her true identity and tracked Tara down to Bon Temps. Tara comes clean and they have a brief fight, which is followed by I-don't-know-who-you-really-are sex. Later, to prove how messed up Bon Temps is, Tara brings Naomi to Merlotte's. They're attacked in the parking lot by a rotting Pam, but Tara pops up in the preview for next week's episode, so something saves her from Pam's gooey grip.
Meanwhile, Arlene's devil baby(doll?) set the house on fire. Luckily, everyone made it out alive, but Mikey, despite being an infant, was out of the house before everyone else. Relieved to see her son safe, Arlene cradles her baby in her arms. Over her shoulder, Mikey sees a black woman who smiles and waves at the giggling child. But this vision is invisible to Arlene. I'm not sure where this plot is going, but Alan Ball recently said that it becomes quite devious. However, that makes me worry for Terry. He's a nice guy and he makes Arlene happy, but we all know that no one is allowed to be happy on True Blood. I don't think he'll live out the season.
