Yes VV, I love Gran!
Bill is shaken by a distant memory……
That and the fact that it is Stephens epi has me all aflutter!
Jessica is going to be abducted and taken to Hoyt. What will he do?
The Authority just went on a feeding frenzy and now they want to curry public favor?

I hadn’t even thought about the present for Hoyt being Jessica. Wow. It appears that things are going to get really dark for Bill!

The season is going to be over before we know it. I hope Bill is ok!

I’m not reading any further, but knowing Gran is coming back is thrilling!
I just need not to know most of what’s to come. The surprises are what makes it more fun for me.

It was the first thing that came to mind SOD.
Its pure speculation…..
Hoyts new friends capture Jessica, abuse her, then bring her to Hoyte, maybe even asking him to stake her.
What a test of Hoyts character that will be.

They all sound exciting!

I am delighted about Gran, and I think and hope that the fae are big fat liars about who killed Sookie’s parents. Still can’t figure out how Sookie can be half-fae, doesn’t make sense to me at all. If TB will hire me, I will take care of these annoying continuity issues.
Very much anticipating the rest of the season, woo hoo!!! Sadly, we will have to wait until next June for Season 6. Twelve episodes are just not enough.

I just hope it’s not Bill who killed Sookie’s parents.

There is no way it was Bill. There are closeups of the vamp on the bridge. It doesn’t look anything like Bill, nothing like him, and it’s not a female either. I think it is the “baby eater” vampire that was in the cell next to Nora.
I am ecstatic that Gran is coming back, I hope it’s for more than 30 seconds tho.
Nervous for Bill being “shaken by a distant memory”. This must be the flashback to when he sees his daughter.
