Episode: “Night on the Sun” (Season 3, Episode 8) Synopsis: Sookie reevaluates her relationship with Bill while Jason takes the next step forward with Crystal. King Russell makes a move on Sookie while Alcide is away and Eric plays two gambits with bloody results. Review: Finally! A fantastic episode. While season 3 has been good, it was far from great in my opinion, until tonight. Sure the werewolves are still pussies (I have to say that every review, contractually) but there was a lot going on this week that was very engaging.

The season comes to a close, but not before wrapping up several major storylines. Jason sits in jail for crimes he didn’t commit while the the real killer sets his sights on Sookie. Tara finds her luck changed for the better at the hands of a mysterious benefactor who has unexplained ties to Sam, who has more than his share of secrets.

Bill fulfills the sentence handed down to him by the Vampire hierarchy, creating a new challenge for himself to the tune of a rebellious new vampire. Elsewhere, Sookie seeks comfort and protection in the arms of shape-shifter Sam while the killer strikes again, dumping Jason Stackhouse right back into hot water.

The relationship between Sam Merlotte and that damn dog is finally revealed. Elsewhere, Bill must answer to the vampire hierarchy over his bloody defense of Sookie, who finds herself in a place where trusting anyone is difficult.

Bill (Stephen Moyer) breaks a vampire taboo in protecting Sookie (Anna Paquin) – and must pay a steep price as a result.

After Gran’s unsolved murder last week, Sookie (Anna Paquin) finds herself overwhelmed with two-faced well-wishers, two men competing for her affections, and a brother hurtling off the deep end once again.

After displaying a bit of his vengeful side last week, Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie (Anna Paquin) take a some time away from each other.
