'True Blood' Season 6, Episode 4: 'At Last' Recap
by Shannon Keirnan
Niall chases Nora, catching her. She tells him about Lilith and says there was a mistranslation in the vampire bible. Warlow is the progeny—the progeny, not the people, can kill Lilith. When she gets too interested in Niall’s scent, he blasts her.
On the road, LAVTF soldiers blast her with laser guns.
Sookie runs back into the living room, where Jason is now fully recovered. Niall returns. He chews Ben out for helping Jason and not protecting Sookie, and Ben leaves.
The werewolves notice that they are missing one of the young people who were recording them. Martha realizes Emma is missing, and they take off looking for Sam and Nicole.
Sam runs Emma and Nicole to where Lafayette is ready with a car.
Ginger talks on the phone to the governor, but he gases the house with silver oxide, and the SWAT team busts in. The governor has them drag Ginger to camp, and orders a lockdown on the city.
Pam is attempting to summon Tara. She finally arrives in the sewer. Pam tries to command her to tell them where Willa is, but Tara screams and won’t listen. Eric attacks her and gets an answer. He goes off in search of Willa.
Terry is watching the news. The fae girls hear his thoughts, and laugh that they know his secret: he shot Patrick. He calls in Arlene to talk to them, and she tells them Terry has an active imagination. Andy collects his children, but Terry is left with the guilt.
Andy puts his pre-teen girls to bed and hits the light. They know something strange is happening… when they hit the lights, they’re young women thrilled their boobs have come in. They decide to go out and party.
Bill and Jessica have staked out the house, and are surprised when adult women come out. They take the sheriff car on a beer run.
Jason does pull ups on the door frame, feeling amazing. Sookie, straightening the rug downstairs, notices a drop of blood on the floor. She remembers the blood Warlow found in the fairy club, and how it reacted strangely to his light. Sookie puts her light on the blood, and it glows that same strange red.
Jessica asks Bill to let her go and speak to the girls as they go into a liquor store. The clerk won’t sell to them without ID… unless they go in the back with him. Jessica comes up and glamors him. She asks the girls’ names, but they don’t have any yet. Jess invites them to her place, but they note she smells strange. She admits she is a vampire, but can control herself, and the girls go to party with her.
Jason shaves in the mirror—no, wait. It’s Ben, shaving him with a straight razor. Both are shirtless. Ben asks Jason to do him now, and Jason slathers him with cream. Jason tries, but cuts him. Ben tells him to taste it, and Jason licks it off his neck.
Jason wakes up.
One of the fairy girls goes to talk to Bill, who wants to show her a historical artifact. He puts a device on her wrist that collects her blood. He sends her back to the party.
Bill brings the blood to the captive in a hidden laboratory he has set up. He tells him to map the code of the blood and replicate it. He reminds him failure is not an option.
Eric finds Willa waiting. She knew he would come. She wanted to talk to him so she waited. She tells him she is on his side. She asks why he wouldn’t let her taste his blood. She thinks she deserves to. Eric asks if she really wants to help him.
Eric carries her through a graveyard and digs a hole. He puts her down and begins to undress. She tells him she is a virgin (pretty much), as he lays out his jacket for her. She’s excited and scared. She asks if it will hurt, and he tells her not the way he does it… and bites her. He lays her down and lets her blood seep out—all the things her father put into her. He will put honor and life into her. She deserves to be one of them. He takes her cross necklace and stabs his own neck, letting her drinks from him.
Sam and Lafayette help care for Nicole, who is worried that none of her friends are returning her calls. She know they are dead. She tries to limp off but they convince her to stay. Sam shifts to a horse to carry her so they can be more discrete.
Sookie goes to see Ben, apologizing for Niall. She invites him to come over and she’ll make dinner.
At the grocery store, Sookie calls Jason and leaves a voicemail, hinting that he and Niall should go out for the evening.
Andy can’t get a hold of Jason either. He’s trying to track down his children, but he can’t give a proper description.
Jason and Niall talk. Jason is concerned about his dream that wasn’t so straight… Niall puts his hand on Jason and sees the dream. Jason is worried that the fae could influence him to dream like that. Niall says no, but he begins to speculate… Jason realizes he had Ben’s blood, and that Ben is a vampire that walks in daylight.
Jason and Niall go to Ben’s hotel with a gun, watching him through the window. Ben undresses to get in the shower and they sneak in. Niall tries to blast him in the shower, but Ben isn’t in there. He knocks Niall out, and glamors Jason. He tells him they were never there, and to let his pain go. To stay away from Sookie’s. Jason asks about his grandfather, and Ben says if he wants to say goodbye, that would be the time.
Jason tells the unconscious Niall goodbye, and that he tried. Ben sends Jason out, and bites Niall. He spits his blood into the tub.
Sookies puts a recipe box on the table, beside a bottle of colloidal silver.
Alcide and his pack have tracked their quarry to where they left the car. Alcide sends them back to clean up the evidence.
The professor is finding strange compounds in the fae blood. There are strange crystals that disintegrate out of the host and the blood becomes human. He can’t study it before it turns.
Willa, a new vampire, drinks from a man Eric pays. She feels like the whole world is electric. She wants to know what’s next—he tells her to go to her father. Willa is furious that this was only a ploy to get back at her father.
He tells her she has to prove to the governor she is not a monster. Not a thing to be hunted. To remind him that they were all once as she was. Hurt, Willa goes.
Tara and Pam argue, and Tara goes off just as the soldiers notice them, and shoot Pam.
The governor is still worried about his daughter. Sarah Newlin kisses him. She has news, but someone bangs on the door. They said they had to invite Willa inn.
Blood-drenched, she enters. Willa tells him she is a vampire now, but still Willa. He touches her face—she is cold. She tells him to stop persecuting vampires. Sarah tells him not to listen to her, but the governor touches her. Unfortunately, Willa smells blood on his hand from where he punched a door, and tries to bite him. Sarah shoots her.
Sookie sprinkles the dinner with silver.
On the bridge, Ben pops the trunk of the car. Niall is inside. Ben bites himself and lets him drink. Ben says that he was turned before Niall was born. The darkness inside him battles with his light every day. He spared Niall as a child, and he will spare him again. They are kindred.
Ben summons a portal, horrifying Niall, who begs, but Ben throws him through.
At a hotel, Sam has gotten Emma to sleep. He and Nicole swig liquor. Sam comforts her, and they kiss.
Ben arrives at Sookie’s with flowers. He smells his plate deeply, but Sookie distracts him. She watches him eat. She fesses up about her ex—he was a vampire, and he lied to her.
“I don’t ever want to feel like that again.”
She asks what it is about her that he wants. He tells her everyone wants to be understood. She understands him, and he understands her.
The fairy girls are getting irritated that Jess won’t let them go. The punctured wrist gets too close to her, and she bites one of the girls.
Andy and Jason find the cop car at the store but the clerk can’t remember anything. Andy asks Jason if vampires can smell fairies, and when Jason explains, Andy takes off.
Bill hears Jess screaming and crying, and goes up. The girls are on the floor, and Jessica is screaming and sobbing.
Sookie puts on some romantic music and sits with Ben. He kisses her and takes off her dress. Sookie focuses her light.
“Get the fuck off me or die, Warlow.”
