09/12/2010 by Kristina Lopez

Was that really the finale? Next season cant come soon enough. While the residents of Bon Temps have to stay in some sort of plot limbo, we got a triple cross, a cement burial, and someone leaves town.

If you're looking for just the best bites of the night, we've got something you can sink your teeth into. True Blood spoiler alert!

The End of Russell&for now

So Eric and Russell were left out to burn in the sun when we last left them. Sookie decided Erics not such a bad guy, so she runs out to save him using her weird fairy power to blast off the silver handcuffs with some encouragement from Russell.

While Eric was out in the sun getting extra crispy, he had a vision of Godric telling him to let go of his hatred of Russell, but Erics not giving up that easy.

Once inside, Eric manages to control himself while drinking Sookies blood again, much to Bills dismay. A replenished Eric decides Russell should be saved and tells Sookie to bring him in.

Russell who looks a lot like charcoal at this point tries to bribe Sookie in exchange for his freedom. She takes Talbots remains and pours them down the garbage disposal while laughing maniacally. Sookie is getting dark.

Alcide (!) shows up with his van and makes googly eyes at Sookie. His fathers debt is forgiven when Eric is allowed to bury Russell in cement at one of his familys construction sites.

While Eric talks to Russell about going crazy in cement for 100 years and yells at Godrics ghost, Bill pushes him in the cement and buries him too. He calls up an assassin and mocking Erics voice, he tells him to kill Pam.

He rushes over to Sookies house and says that hell kill everyone that knows her secret fairy heritage and says that she was his greatest love, even if theyll never be together again.

Her door flings open and a cement-covered Eric is outside. He tells Sookie that hes manipulated her from the start. The Queen sent Bill to check out Sookie and Bill let the couple beat Sookie to a bloody pulp the second night they met so that she would drink his blood.

Sookie kicks both Bill and Eric out and disappears in to fairy world. No, seriously thats how the episode ended.

Meanwhile Bill, still looking to finish off whoever knows about Sookies fairy life invites the Queen to his place and starts a fight. We leave them off heading toward each other in mid-air like in the Matrix.

And the Rest:

- After saving Hot Shot from a DEA raid, Jason becomes the new leader of the backwoods town when Crystals father gets shot and she gets abducted by her nutty ex-fiancé.

- Following another hook-up, Sam tells Tara hes a shape-shifter. Tired of all the supernatural people around her, Tara leaves Bon Temps.

- Sam finds out his money was stolen by Tommy and tracks him down with a loaded gun at his disposal. Sam shoots at Tommy.

- Lafayette starts seeing weird things, like Rene popping up behind Arlene. He calls Jesus freaking out. Jesus tells him to calm down; he can help Lafayette control the magic because Jesus is a witch.

- Despite an intervention from his mother, Hoyt and Jessica take things to the next level by moving in together. Their empty house has a weird/creepy/foreshadowy baby doll on the floor.
