Back at the station, the V has gripped Jason with raging ferocity. Let's just say what you've heard about V increasing your libido was no rumor. It doesn't help poor Jason that as he's trying to conceal his situation Andy Bellefleur sits a few feet away, grilling him relentlessly. Jason asks to be excused to "go pee" and Bud allows him to go (making Andy upset in the process). As Jason attempts to relieve himself, Tara arrives and begins tossing legal terms around to Bud and Andy, demanding they release Jason. She's done enough reading to know they cannot charge or hold Jason, but she's also having to stretch the truth a bit, providing Jason with the perfect alibi-- Tara tells Bud and Andy "he was with me last night." At this point Jason has exited the bathroom and happily played along with Tara's false account of their sordid affair. The lofty plan works, and the police let Tara take Jason to Merlotte's. Speaking of Merlotte's, Sookie decides to use her ability to listen in on people's thoughts for clues. She mostly only hears mens perverted thoughts about the dearly departed Dawn. When Tara and Jason show up, Sam is eager to discuss what happened between him and Tara, but she tells him they have to lie since she gave Jason an alibi. Jason only cares about one thing: releasing the tension in his jeans. He books it to the kitchen to ask Lafayette for help, with no success. His bad luck with Lafayette explains why Tara later finds him, pants around his ankles, covering his manhood with a steak in the walk-in freezer. Tara insists on taking Jason to the hospital and he reluctantly agrees. At the hospital, the doctor naturally asks Jas0n whether or not he's been using any drugs, since he needs to know if there is anything in Jason's system that may react with medications they might give him. Jason, true to his character, lies and says no. The doctor can see right through him, and proceeds to tell him he can receive no medication or anesthesia. Then he shows Jason the enourmous needle he will use to drain the fluid from his penis (warning: ladies, even you will cringe during this scene).Tara tries to leave before the needle goes in, but Jason demands she stay and hold his hand. She echoes everyone's sentiment when she says, "I ain't never gonna be the same after this." At Merlotte's, Sookie is getting nowhere in her clue-finding mission. When Bill arrives, she asks him to take her after she got off work to Fangtasia, the vampire bar in Shreveport. He agrees, but is (happily) surprised when he sees Sookie dressed up "like vampire bait" in a low cut dress. He reminds her that he promised Gran he'd look after her, and she can see just how dangerous the evening will be when they pull up to Fangtasia. In this episode, we are first introduced to the Shreveport vamps. First up is Pam. Pam is sassy and clever, she nearly towers over Sookie when she cards her at the door, her pale skin and red lips make her the perfect picture of a vampire. If you've read the books, you will probably note the slight difference in Pam's description in the book and her depiction on the screen. The differences are only physical, though, and only small, so it doesn't distract from the storyline. Next we meet Longshadow, the bartender. He is covered with tattoos and appears to be of Spanish descent. He is tough but helpful, agreeing to look at some pictures (one of Maudette and one of Dawn) that Sookie pulls out of her purse. When Sookie pushes for more information, asking Longshadow if he remembered who he saw the girls with, he said "That's something we don't notice around here-- and you won't either." A chilling warning that Sookie intends to heed. 
(And here's the part where I start to giggle like a little girl:) Lastly, we are introduced to (my favorite chracter) Eric, the Nordic vampire Sookie spots sitting across the room in a throne. Bill sees she has taken notice of him, and as the camera pans over to him, it's not hard to see why. Eric sits, stoic, wearing all black. His shoulder length, stick straight hair creates a blond halo around his head (which is pretty ironic). He has pale skin and a tough, handsome face. A female human appraoches and asks to take his picture, he agrees and extends his fangs. She snaps the shot on her camera, and Longshadow proceeds to smash it, telling her Eric didn't say she could keep the photo. A man approaches, offering himself to Eric, put he's not interested, and instead kicks him clear across the room. Eric then gestures for Bill and Sookie to join him, and Bill knows that could mean trouble. 
Sookie shows the photos of Maudette and Dawn to Eric, who unfortunately mentions that he's "tasted" Dawn (those are Eric's fang marks on Dawn's neck!). Sookie attempts to leave, but Eric is "not finished" with her yet. He attempts to catch up with Bill, but Sookie hears the thoughts of a human: an undercover cop. Sookie also hears the thoughts of another human who is in the bathroom being fed on by a female vampire (feeding in public is illegal). Sookie warns Eric, revealing her secret ability in the process, and the foursome of Eric, Pam, Sookie and Bill escape. Sookie asks Bill for some quiet time on the drive home, so he pulls over. The peace and quiet doesn't last long, however, as a cop pulls them over. Sookie does all the talking, but Bill loses it when the cop asks to check Sookie's neck for fang marks. Bill glamours the cop and takes his gun. Bill then drives away, leaving the cop alone in the woods, crying and wetting his pants. So folks, I'm happy to introduce you to the Shreveport vamps: Pam, Longshadow and Eric. We'll be seeing plenty more of them in the future. You can read my bio or contact me here.
