Recap

Bill and Sookie pull up to her house and they are discussing the situation with the police officer. He explains that the vampires have had a strained relationship with the police for years now. She says that she is sure had she not been there watching that he probably would have killed him. She then asks if he would have fed on him. She goes to get out of the car and he gets to the side to open her door quickly and tells her that he is trying his best to mainstream. She tells him that feeding on the officer is not mainstream and that neither is hosting orgies or listening to "Chinese gargling". He tells her that it is "Tuvan throat singing" and she tells him that it is whatever because she doesn't even know what that is. Bill tells Sookie that she can't be frightened of everything that she doesn't know in the world and she tells him that her world is opening up mighty fast. She says that what she has at home may be boring but it is safe and that after the past couple of nights safe sounds good to her. When he goes to get the door for her at her house, she tells him no thank you that she can get the door herself. He tells her that he will not call on her again. In the trees the old stray dog is watching their argument. ..
