Meanwhile, the DEA arrived in town to raid Hot Shot, and Andy let it slip to Jason that it was going down that day. How many hours did it take for Denis O’Hare to get in that makeup on his face, his heavage, and his hands? (Did you notice the way he wiggled his fingers when he told Sookie she was like a rose that only blooms for a little while? A nice touch of pervy.) He couldn’t believe Bill had shown so much restraint: he was either a true gentleman, or a very, very smart man who realized that by controlling himself he made the experience last longer, like tantric sex. Russell told a non-trusting Sookie that a vampire would one day tear her apart to get at the essence of her. That’s when Sookie disposed of Talbot - after Russell interrupted her reading Star magazine on Eric’s throne to try to negotiate his freedom with $5 million, his Mississippi house, and the promise to kill both Bill and Eric, one of them, or neither of them, her pick. Eric asked Sookie to watch over Russell while he, Bill, and Pam slept. But Russell said it was all he’d ever think about. The other fang dropped as Sookie tightened the chains: ”Don’t even think about it, bitch,” she said. He coughed out one of his fangs - ”humiliating,” Eric said. It wasn’t so much gruesome as it was… flaky. It was hard to take your eyes off of Russell’s charred face. They thought he was insane, but a reluctant Sookie dragged Russell inside with a silver chain around his neck. Back at Fangtasia, Eric recovered and told the others Godric had appeared to him and asked him to save Russell.
