Eric and the girl in charge of the I-stakes (I never caught her name) work together to come up with a plan of escape. He clues Bill in on it so he can escape as well. They both need a drop of one of the chancellors’ blood to get through security. Bill has sex with Salome, but imagines Sookie in her place until she turns into a blood covered Lilith. Eric pretends that he wants Nora to teach him to believe, but injects her with something to knock her out so he can take her with him. As they are about to leave Bill shows up with the authority as he has alerted them of Eric’s plans. Bill tells Eric that Lilith has chosen him and they take Eric back into custody.
Hoyt is dragged in and left bound in a barn. Sookie goes to talk to Bud to see if he knows anything more about her parents’ deaths as he worked their case.

Sookie listens to Bud’s thoughts and knows that he’s hiding something. Then his mistress comes in and knocks her out with a frying pan. They tie her up and throw her in the barn along with Hoyt. Then they force her to drink oxycotin laced ginger ale.
