Jessica dragging the corpse into the Compton house

Sookie is upset about Bill's kidnapping from Maison de Paris and even more distraught when no one will help her find him. She turns to Eric for help in finding Bill. Eric is busy in Fangtasia's dungeon with Yvetta (having sex with her for six hours!). Andy urges Jason to stay the course after killing Eggs. Sam reconnects with his past; continuing to search for the Mickens.

Andy tells Jason to continue behaving his normal, old self; which means picking up chicks. Later in the episode Jason does just that, bringing two girls back to his house. Every time he looks at them however; he pictures them with bullet holes in their heads, which means he can't perform. The girls leave in a rush after Jason explains that "it's not you, it's just I keep picturing you both with big 'ol bullet holes in your foreheads".

Jessica bit a guy at a truck stop, and is now having do deal with the after effects; where do you hide a body when you accidentally kill someone? She tried to save the guy by giving him her blood, but it was too late- so his body begins to leave a horrific stench in the Compton house.
