“You can’t have anymore, there isn’t anymore. You drank the whole faerie, and you’re going to your room.” I have to give the best quote of episode 4 to Sookie. Eric gets completely drunk draining Claudine and this is her answer when he says he wants some more. Her tone and inflection in the delivery were perfect and I was laughing out loud. Eric takes off into the woods after giving Sookie a few playful swats on the bottom just as the sun comes up and Sookie calls on Alcide to help find him. I’ll daydream about that later. When they do find him he’s swimming and Sookie is able to pull off another one when he invites her to join him. “There’s big gators in there you crazy viking.” The look on Alcide’s face is priceless. I especially loved her berating the two of them like they were little boys and she’s the mommy, ‘Alcide stop making that noise and Eric put up those fangs and do what I say,’ it was hilarious. All in all the Eric and Sookie with a side helping of Alcide scenes were great entertainment this episode but did little to move the storyline forward other than showing Eric’s sudden vulnerabilities and emotions, especially his emotions for Sookie. We also get a great scene of Alcide and Sookie alone arguing about Eric staying there. Finally the two of them proclaim they are on each other’s side and in it together, topping it off with a hug. Aaawwww, okay okay, lets move on.
