Short Attention Span Review: "True Blood" 6/21

I liked a lot about this episode:

* Lafayette's still alive and kicking, and seems to have talked his way into immortality as a vampire.
* Everything involving Eric and his pals.
* Maryann is just fricking ancient and scary. Loved what she did to the crowd at Merlotte's.
* Sooki and Tara connecting again.
* The leadership retreat where Jason went all PTSD onstage.
* Sam and Andy commiserating.
* Sooki and Jessica bonding.

Something I didn't like:

* Sooki's dumbass decision to take Jessica on a road trip to visit Mom and Dad. She's got to be smarter than this. It seemed like a bad decision made for the sake of plot contrivance - adding one more cliffhanger to an episode that already had a couple of good ones.
