Meanwhile, Eric dreams that his maker, Godric, forces him to drink Sookie's blood. He vows not to hurt her. Bill glamours Portia into fearing him in order to put an end to her romantic advances. Naomi discovers Tara's real name and confronts her over the phone. Tara discovers that Eric is staying with Sookie and reels off a list of Eric's crimes against Sookie before running away. Eric leaves, guilt-ridden, but Sookie calls him back and the two kiss. Before the full moon, Jason has erotic dreams about Jessica, in which Hoyt also appears. Arlene and Terry have a reverend cleanse their house of ghosts, and sleep well, but as the scene ends, a book of matches is shown spontaneously igniting. 
Alcide is visited by the head of his local pack and threatened for not having registered with them. He sees the threat off, momentarily. Lafayette and Jesus visit Jesus' brujo grandfather to combat the threat from Pam and Eric. Finally, Bill has Marnie captured and imprisoned, and glamours her to determine whether or not she is truly possessed. When he finds out that she is, he meets with the four sheriffs of Louisiana and they discuss the persecution of vampires that occurred in Spain in the 1600s. Pam accidentally tells them that Eric has lost his memory, and that he is staying with Sookie.

Review: 
Ok, this episode is amazing. The best episode of season 4 so far. I like the whole story line in this episode. It's surprising, and of course Godric appearance is one of the best part. The opening is really surprising when i think Tommy will be back to the arena because he was got caught by his parents. But everything changed when Tommy killed them. That scene is the first surprise for me. 
The next great scene for me and also quite surprises me is when Tommy turns into Crocodile at Sam's van when Eric the police forces Sam to open his van. The scene makes my heart beats so fast, I think it would be done when Eric discovered Tommy but yeah I can't imagine how he can turns into crocodile, it's just never occurred on my mind. Smart choice of a shifter. 
This episode is the first time I ever love to see cursed Eric. He is just so spoiled and cute at the scenes. When he's cursed, that shows his good side ever. Godric appearance surprised me for the third time because I always adore Godric character, so the scene is great for me. Godric has been a great vampire character for me in True Blood series. He is smart, calm and confidence vampire on this series. I hope he will also appear in the next episodes.
And here we welcomed a new character who is Jesus' Grandfather, a living shaman. I think it would be great since the witch, Marnie is quite lame. 
The only silly part of this episode is when reverend  Daniels and his new wife, Latie Mae, who is Tara's mom conducts a ghost cleaning ritual at Terry's house. It's just really ridiculous. When I saw that scene, I was just like huh??? What is this??? I think it's just a fun side among the serious scenes. Overall, it's the best episode of the season so far. Love it. :D

Good points: 
-   All the surprising scenes like Tommy killed his parents, turns into crocodile, Godric appearance, everything was great

Bad points:
-   The lame part when reverend Daniels and his wife conducted ghost cleaning ritual 

Rating: 8.5/10.0
