"Turn! Turn! Turn!"[]

"I just wanna rip these people's heads off and drink their insides."
―Tara[src]
Sookie and Lafayette pleads with Pam to turn Tara into a vampire.

Pam enters Sookie's house looking for Eric. Sookie initially screams at her to leave, but Lafayette, desperate to save his cousin, begs Pam to turn Tara. After initially rejecting the idea, Pam agrees as long as Sookie promises to help her get back in Eric's good graces, and "owes her one." Pam performs the appropriate ritual, spending the night in the ground with Tara. As nightfall approaches, Sookie and Lafayette are waiting with bated breath, hoping for a miracle. Nightfall comes and there is no activity until Pam suddenly emerges from the dirt prompting Sookie to begin digging for Tara. As she uncovers her best friend's face, she begins to sob uncontrollably. She is convinced the attempt has failed and Tara is gone forever. Suddenly Tara springs forth from her earthen slumber as a newly made vampire. Bearing a menacing expression. Tara lunges toward Sookie who screams for Lafayette. ("Turn! Turn! Turn!")

She is not acting like herself and hits herself in the head before running upstairs to do more damage. Sookie knows it will be daylight soon and with help from Lafayette they use a silver chain to bring Tara to Eric's cubby. While Tara is sleeping she is almost staked by Lafayette. Sookie, returning from the Stake House, overhears his thoughts hesitating to do it and talks him out of it.

When she sees a girl trying to fix the flat tire of her car, Tara attacks her, but then sees her reflection on the windshield and stops herself. She apologizes and runs off. Tara makes her way to Merlotte's, where Sam discovers what happened to her and helps her as the sun is rising.
