Elsewhere, Bill has to face the music and appears before a vampire tribunal over his self-defense killing of Longshadow.

Sam tries to tell Sookie something about himself he's never told anyone and Sookie thinks he's going to confess to being the murderer. She runs and hides in the bathroom, grabbing a loofah for protection, which would work great if he were rough skin. She looks out and sees the friendly dog waiting for her.

It wears off if he falls asleep and on a full moon he can't control the shift (which explains what Terry and Andy saw). But don't call him a werewolf, they're nasty- and real. Sookie tries to process the fact that all these things exist. "Life is just getting too weird too fast," she says.
