Maria ran downstairs.

"This is no way to treat your new landlord." Eric said

Eric vamp speed in front of Maria.

"I am not yours anymore, and I want you out of my house now!" Maria said

"Funny about ownership, isn't it? A little piece of paper, and the only power you had over me is gone." Eric said

"Eric what do you want?" Maria asked Eric

"I want you back." Eric said

"We've been over a year. You may have bought my house. But the house does not come with me or Sookie inside it." Maria said

"Well, then, I seriously overpaid." Eric said

"That's your problem." Maria said

Maria walked away and Eric stopped her. She turned around.

"Every vampire will come after her. Her blood is addictive to others. You need a vampire protection. You don't trust, Bill, Jessica, or Pam to do it. I can provide that for you." Eric said

"I'm willing to take my chances." Maria said

Maria turned around again. Eric vamp speed in front of her again.

"I bought this house because I still care about you." Eric said

"Fuck you! (Maria shoved Eric out of the way and enters the kitchen. She turned around and looked at him.) I was finding Sookie, spending time with my biological father, and getting to know Quinn." Maria said

"I'm quite jealous of Quinn." Eric said

""You're not listening to a word I'm saying. Ok. I was angry at you for not telling me everything and heartbroken." Maria said

"I know you. You might have your new boyfriend fooled but not me." Eric said

"And what do you think's gonna happen if I come crawling back to you? Do you think my cat side is ready for more vampire action? Or my legs are gonna open for you again?" Maria asked Eric

Eric smiles.

"Well, that was saucy. Your tiger instinct kicked in. I'm impressed." Eric said

"And I regret saying it." Maria said

"Don't be. Well then, I hope to hear from you soon. (Eric opens the back door. Hearing a creek.) I'll see to it that gets repaired." Eric said

Eric leaves.

"Fucking prick." Maria said

Bunkie

Maria driving her car with her in it.

"I just can't believe it." Maria said

"He did it to piss you off. (Sookie reads her sister mind.) Eric wants to get back together with me." Maria thinking

Sookie stopped reading her sister's mind.

"Quinn will find out." Sookie said

"God dammit, Sook." Maria said

"I'm sorry, Maria. It's just I didn't know." Sookie said

"Quinn knows about Eric's jealousy. But I don't want to tell him about that. No Eric or Bill drama tonight." Maria said

Maria parked her car outside of "Claws".

"Claws?" Sookie said

"Yeah. The names a little...but the tigers needed something to call it. Don't worry. They'll be humans here too. Just they don't know about the tigers." Maria said

"Got it." Sookie said

Maria and her sister gets out of the car and walked towards the club. Maria was about to walk in but her sister was stopped by Donny the security guard.

"Donny that's my sister." Maria said

"My bad. Have a nice time." Donny said

Maria and her sister walking inside and approaches to Quinn and her father. She kissed Quinn.

"Sook, you remember Quinn." Maria said

"Nice to see you again." Quinn said

"This is my father, Alistair." Maria said

Alistair extended his hand and Sookie shaking his hand.

"It's an honor to finally meet you Sookie." Alistair said

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Stackhouse. She told me good things about the family. (Sookie let go of Alistair's hand.) I don't care if she's a Stackhouse." Alistair said

"She's not a Stackhouse by blood. But she is one by family." Sookie said

A woman name Stacy approaches to them. She was holding gin and tonic mix drink.

"This is Stacy." Maria said

"I heard Gin and tonic was your favorite." Stacy said

Stacy hands Sookie the cup.

"Oh, thank you." Sookie thanking Stacy

Next day.

Quinn's place.

Maria was sleeping with Quinn. They woke up.

"Daytime." Quinn said

"I could get use to this. (Maria looked at the clock.) It's 12pm. We've overslept. I told Sookie to take my car. So that you could drive me home." Maria said

Her phone vibrated. She looked at her phone and see a text. It was from her sister.

"When I get home, can you help me with groceries?" Sookie texted

"Sure." Maria texted

Outside of Stackhouse Residence.

Maria kissed Quinn.

"Bye." Maria said

"Bye." Quinn said

Maria gets out of Quinn's car and he drove off.

"Finally." Sookie said

Maria helped her sister with a bag. Tara walked towards them with a surprise.

"Sookie! Oh my God, are ya okay?" Tara asked Sookie

Tara hugged Sookie

"Tara!" Sookie said

"I'm so sorry." Tara said

Tara stopped hugging Sookie.

"Oh, it's not your fault. I guess I'm still not so good at gettin' snuck up on. How did you..." Sookie asked as Tara cuts her off

"Lafayette. He texted me, said you was home. I parked out back 'cause I wanted to surprise ya." Tara said

"You did." Sookie said

"I guess I did, huh? I thought you were dead. Everybody did." Tara said

"Where have you been?" Sookie asked Tara

"New Orleans. Where have you been?" Tara asked Sookie

"Um, business for, for Bill. We're not back together or anything." Sookie lied

"I ain't judgin'." Tara said

"You look amazin'! New Orleans has been good for you, huh?" Sookie said

"It has." Tara said

"Why don't we go inside and you can tell us all about it? (Tara helps with another bag. Maria sees a letter on the door.) What the hell? (Maria reads it.) Out with the old." Maria stopped reading

"Let me see that." Tara said

Maria hands Tara the letter. She opens the door as it was repaired. Walked in the kitchen. She puts her bag on the table. They see a microwave on the table and there was another letter. Maria reads.

"In with the new. You like?" Maria stopped reading

She takes the letter and threw it in the trash.

"A year ago you said that you and Eric were done. You sure he knows that?" Tara asked Maria

"He's thinking there's another chance between us. No, I just don't believe him." Maria said

"The son of a bitch bought our house." Sookie said

"He bought yalls house?" Tara asked the Stackhouse sisters

"Yep." Sookie said

Maria goes to the fridge and opens it. She sees a glass vase filled with blood in it. She's frustrated.

"Asshole. (Maria takes the vase out of the fridge and pour it in the sink.) This can't be the homecoming you were expecting." Maria said

"It's Bon Temps. Ain't like I expected a red fucking carpet. And besides, there's ice cream." Tara said

"And by now, it should be good and melty, too." Sookie said

"I'll just get some blankets and meet you guys in the living room. (Maria walks in the living room and sees a cubby. She walked towards it and opens it. There was a ladder and she realized Eric built a room for himself down there. She freaked out.) MOTHER FUCKER!" Maria said

Tara and Sookie walked in the living room.

"What?" Tara said

"What is it?" Sookie asked her sister

"He built himself a cubby and a room inside our house." Maria said

Sookie looked.

"Son of a bitch." Sookie said

"You guys want to..." Tara said as Sookie cuts her off

"No. We'll deal with it later. Right now you're here and let's just move forward right now." Sookie said

"You're right." Maria said

Nighttime.

Fangtasia.

Office.

Maria talking to Pam.

"Every memory of everyone I have ever loved is in that house. If there is anything you can do to convince him to stay away from me..." Maria said as Pam cuts her off

"Did I miss something? Are we "girls" now? Do we join a book club and read some queer chick-lit memoir, so now we're bonded together by estrogen, or sisterhood, or some other feminist drivel?" Pam asked Maria

"I don't do book clubs." Maria said

"Neither do I." Pam said

"I would say you're supposed to be my friend. But last year you overruled that situation." Maria said

"I would've been your friend too. But Eric is my maker, Maria. Did you really think I'd side with you on this?" Pam asked Maria

"Sookie is talking to Bill right now to find a way to kick him out." Maria said

"You really should reconsider his offer." Pam said

"Why? My home need some privacy." Maria said

"Privacy? With your new weretiger boyfriend? You two won't last." Pam said

"I like Quinn." Maria said

"Deny it all you want tiger bitch. (Maria gets mad. Her nails turn into claws.) Eric still cares about you. He really does." Pam said

Maria scratched Pam in the face. Pam started healing and Maria feels bad for doing it.

"I'm sorry." Maria said

"Get out." Pam said

Maria walked out of the office and walked out of Fangtasia. The humans were chanting "Steve Newlin was right! You're devils of the night!" as Maria walked to her car. She faced them and flips them off with her middle finger. She gets in her car and drives off.

Maria was on the road and she stopped the car when she saw Eric. He seen her and his fangs appeared. She gets out of her car and walked towards him. He looked confused.

"Come any closer you feline." Eric said

"Feline? Seriously?" Maria said

"Who are you?" Eric asked Maria

"It's me, Maria." Maria said

"Who?" Eric asked Maria

"You know me." Maria said

"No, no, I don't." Eric said

"You really don't know who I am do you?" Maria asked Eric
