Synopsis
Edit
Added by QueenBuffyAfter glamouring Jessica’s family and beginning the drive back to Bon Temps, Bill and Sookie argue fiercely about the night’s events and Sookie storms out of the car. As she walks off, she is hunted down by a mysterious clawed creature with the head of a bull and the body of a human. It reaches her and viciously slashes her back thus leaving her paralyzed and poisoned. Bill rushes to Eric for help and, with the assistance of a goblin woman named Dr. Ludwig, Sookie is saved.
Added by QueenBuffyAt the Light of Day camp, Jason confesses his true feelings about vampires and bonds further with Sarah Newlin when he lets out some of his grief over his Gran and Amy deaths. She reveals to him that she used to be a vampire sympathizer but now suspects they murdered her sister. At Merlotte's, Jessica and Hoyt take a special interest in one another. Sam warns Tara to stay away from Maryann. Later, after snapping at Daphne, Sam decides to take off for a while.
At Fangtasia, Sookie takes Bill’s blood to heal and then discovers that Lafayette has been held in the basement. She manages to arrange for his freedom in exchange for helping locate the missing vampire Godric in Dallas.
Tara and Eggs' relationship hits a rough patch at one of Maryann’s parties when the guests become strangely sexual with one another, including Eggs and another girl. Bill and Sookie walk in on Jessica and Hoyt making out. Sam and Daphne make peace with one another. The episode ends with the revelation that Daphne's back appears to have deep scratches much like the ones Sookie got when the creature attacked her.

AllusionsEdit
"Lisa decided to give Coby a nose piercing like she saw on America's Next Top Model.
America's Next Top Model is a reality show that was created by Tyra Banks and premiered in 2003. The show is a modeling competition where young women go through various challenges and photo shoots. Each week one contestant is eliminated (sometimes more than one or none are eliminated). The last one standing receives a variety of prizes including a modeling contract and a photo spread in a magazine.
Oddly enough, although there have been contestants who have nose rings, there has never been an instance where a contestant got that piercing during the show.

TitleEdit
The title and the song of the episode probably allude to the clawed monster beast that slashed Sookie and probably Daphne.
