Sweetie knocks out Sookie, lashes her and locks her into an enclosure of pigs, near Hoyt Fortenberry, who is also a prisoner of Sweetie's because he spared Jessica. When Sookie wakes up, Sweetie appears as the Dragon of the Obamas, claiming that the telepathic and photokinetic faculties Sookie has make her a monster. She forces her to drink from a can which is spiked with Oxycontin, Bud's old cancer medication, which weakens her. As Sookie stirs Sweetie orders her group to feed her and Hoyt to the pigs. Sam intervenes in time to save Sookie. While all other members of the small group are caught by the police and put under arrest, Sweetie runs away.
