HBO has released more detailed episode summaries for the final two episodes of season five. We had already seen snippets of these descriptions earlier, but these are a bit more detailed.
Episode 5.11: “Sunset” (Title previously called “Song of the Dead Faerie”) Slipping further into religious fervor, Bill (Stephen Moyer) gives Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) an order she’s loath to carry out. Armed with a damning video of Russell (Denis O’Hare) and Steve (Michael McMillian), the military delivers an ultimatum to the Authority. Claude (Giles Matthey) and Maurella (Kristina Anapau) take Sookie (Anna Paquin) to meet the faerie elder, who may know something about an ancient family secret. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) reconnects with his father; Sam (Sam Trammell) and Luna (Janina Gavankar) hitch a rideinto the Authority. Written by: Angela Robinson Directed by: Lesli Linka Glatter
Episode 5.12: “Save Yourself” Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) embarks on a final, desperate mission to overthrow the Authority – and save Bill from losing his humanity. Andy (Chris Bauer) faces the consequences of a light pact he made; Alcide readies for a second showdown with J.D. (Louis Herthum); Sam and Luna test their limits in trying to escape the Authority. Written by: Alan Ball Directed by: Michael Lehmann
These episode descriptions are making my head spin!

“Sam and Luna test their limits in trying to escape the Authority.”
Mmm, seems like maybe Sam & Luna will try to shapeshift into vampires! Maybe Bill will kill Salome, when in fact it was Luna! I could see something like that happening…

The military give vampires an ultimatum???? I simply can not even get my head around a strategy that would have vampires coming out, then going on full attack. How could the possibly expect to win/survive. Someone please get me out of this one cuz I just keep hitting a wall.
Thanks ladies for bringing us all this goodness so quickly – we appreciate it!

Thanks for the spoilers.
So much packed into the last epis.
Sounds like WWIII may start between vampires and humans, now that the military will get involved. This could be epic.
And Sam and Luna getting involved with the vamps. The supe haters were nothing compared to RE. This SL with Emma being wolfnapped is so heartbreaking.
I dont like Bill at odds with Jess. Shes his only family. He needs to get off the Salome tainted V.
Im glad Eric will help Bill. Bill has done so much for Eric in the past.

thank you for those spoliers. From what I am reading all hell is about to break loose. I hope someone ERic jesse sam sombody bring bill back from the darkness and under the control of salome.
I hope same and luna can and get emma back but I feel there is going to be a lot of blood spill at the end. Looks like sookie will not be involved.

I note that AB wrote episode 12, so I am expecting more than the usual amount of crazy, with some extra twists to boot.
I hope the “bloodbath” that we’ve been hearing about includes all of the Authority, KRE, Area 5′s new sheriff, Nigel the baby eater, and even Steve Newlin, who is as much of a jerk as a vamp as he was as a human.
Emma must be saved, and JD has to go, but I have a feeling that Alcide and his dad will take care of that part of the equation.
I am certain that Bill will come back, but not sure how long it will take. We may have to wait until Season 6. I am also positive that Sookie will be instrumental in bringing Bill back to his senses.
What a ride this season has been. In spite of all the bad things happening to Bill, I think this season is the best one since the first.
