True Blood: Season 4, Episode 8 “Spellbound” (B+)
It seemed almost as if the world was ending last week, and while things don’t seem as dire throughout the course of the episode, they’ve definitely gotten very bad by its end. The connections between the many threads are becoming increasingly clearer, as the pack is ordered to stay out of the witch-vampire conflict, and Marcus is revealed to be Luna’s ex, which suddenly makes Sam relevant again. I’m not sure exactly what Tommy’s up to and just when he was impersonating Maxine, but he’s definitely not doing well for himself. I love how Bill swooped in to do PR on vampire suicides, glamoring the reporter into featuring the coverage. This wasn’t a good episode for Jessica, who imagined telling Hoyt off and bashing his head in but instead found herself disinvited from two different homes as both Hoyt and Jason shunned her. The woman singing to Arlene’s baby is just creepy, and possessing Lafayette takes things to a whole new disturbing level. Sookie and Eric are having quite the love affair, and I love that they’re not too distracted to decide to pledge their allegiance to Bill. I think it’s absolutely terrific that Bill is serious about not using violence, especially when it comes to Pam and her vendetta against Tara, but Antonia’s not going to have any of that. Leaving Sookie shot and cared for by Alcide, Eric under Antonia’s spell, and Bill being attacked by silver definitely sets next week up for some very intense and messy confrontations.
