Maria woke up in the basement behind bars. Like a cage.

"What the hell?" Maria said

Maria placed in a neck shackle.

"How're you doing?" Sookie asked her sister

"Drugged." Maria said

"We have to get out of here." Sookie said

Door's slamming and somebody comes downstairs, thinking in a foreign language. It's Yvetta.

"Rush, quick. I help. I hated those two. The bastard and that bitch Pam." Yvetta said

"Get us out of this hole." Sookie said

Yvetta frees Sookie. She can't find the key to free Maria.

"What's wrong?" Sookie asked Yvetta

"I can't find the key to the cage." Yvetta said

"No." Sookie said

Maria figures it out.

"He's got it." Maria said

Sookie is about to cry.

"No." Sookie said

"Sookie go. I'll be alright. Russell doesn't want me. He wants you." Maria said

"I'm not leaving you." Sookie said

"Just go. (Her eyes glowing green. She roars.) NOW!" Maria shouts

Maria scared Sookie and Yvetta. They leave Maria. She cries.


Maria waiting awhile. Pam enters with a sandwich bottle.

"Here." Pam said

"No, thanks." Maria said

"You'll starve." Pam said

"I don't care. The shit that you pulled I could never forgive you." Maria said

"I'm use to it." Pam said

"What are you two up too?" Maria asked Pam

"Listen it'll all be over." Pam said

"What does that mean? (Pam walked away.) What the fuck does that mean? Pam you get your ass back here!" Maria said

Pam turned around, vamp speed towards Maria and stuck her with another syringe. Maria fell down asleep again.


Maria woke up again and being chained up on a pole at the bar. She struggles. She sees Bill, Sookie, Russell, Eric and Pam. Russell interrogating Sookie.

"Let her go!" Maria said

Eric walked towards. He puts a duct tape over Maria's mouth. He feels guilty.

"I'm sorry." Eric apologize

Eric approaches to them.

"What Eric says is true." Bill said

Sookie is upset.

"No! Let Maria go." Sookie said

"No. Your sister needs to see this." Russell said

"Bill's experienced it for himself." Eric said

"Oh, well, that's reassuring. A testimonial from the mendacious Mr. Compton." Russell said

"A new beginning? We'll start over?" Sookie asked Bill

"I can't force you to believe it. You'll have to see for yourself." Bill said to Russell

"Why are you doing this to me?" Sookie asked Bill

"We've tried fighting him. We'll never win. If he develops a taste for your blood, he may let you live." Bill said

"Bill, please." Sookie begged

"So?" Eric said

"I'm intrigued." Russell said

"Excellent." Eric said

"I hate you. I hate you all." Sookie said

"On one condition." Russell said

"Whatever you like." Eric said

"You go first." Russell said

"I'd love to." Eric said

Maria struggles again.


The sun comes up. Russell talks to Sookie. Pam takes Eric aside. Maria sees Pam and Eric talking.

"Don't do it. What if it doesn't work?" Pam asked Eric

"Oh, it'll work. (Pam starts crying in bloody tears.) Oh, come on. What's this?" Eric asked Pam

"Nothing. It's bleeds." Pam said

"I love Maria. I also love you. Cold and heartless. (Eric kisses Pam on the forehead.) Promise me this. I need you to promise me to protect Maria." Eric said

"You know I will." Pam said

Eric walked towards Maria. He kissed her on the forehead as well. She's angry at him.

"I love you." Eric said

Eric joining everybody else.

"Shall we?" Eric asked Russell

"Do let's." Russell said

"One caveat, gentlemen. If you drain her completely, that's the last fairy blood you'll ever drink." Bill said

"Good point!" Eric said

"We are schooled. Onward to adventure!" Russell said

"If this is you trying to help me, thanks for nothing." Sookie said to Bill

Eric seems hesitant to the situation.

"Oh, for God's sake!" Russell said

Russell bites Sookie's wrist, then Eric bites her neck. Russell and Eric drink from Sookie while she screams. Maria struggling, screaming, and crying. Pam chained up Bill with silver. Eric walked towards the door and opens it. He walks outside into the sun. Maria still crying. Russell and Pam watch him from the security camera. Sookie is unconscious.

"Unchain me. I have to feed Sookie." Bill said

Russell and Pam don't pay attention to Bill.

"It's fairies. Fucking fairies. Who knew?" Russell said

Eric motions for Russell to come outside.

"Let me go or she'll die!" Bill said

"My hands are shaking. (Russell laughing.) I feel like a little child. Thousands of years of night. You can't know." Russell said

Russell crying in bloody tears.

"What are you waiting for?" Pam asked Russell

Russell walked out.

"I have to feed Sookie. She needs my blood now! Pam, let me go!" Bill said

Pam sees security cameras. As Eric smoking and so does Russell. Eric handcuffs his arm to Russell with silver manacles. The two fall to their knees and begin to burn. Russell screams.
