When we return to True Blood for our recap, the Authority are in the midst of fighting Russel Edgington after he staked the Guardian, Roman. We will miss you very much! Russel takes Eric hostage for a minute, while the Authority members hide to let their army take Russel down. The UV lights flicker until they cover Russel with a silver blanket. When the lights back come on, Eric is still safe, hanging from the wall from a silver cord. After the battle, Eric and Bill are starting to figure out that the Authority members are not who they seem. Eric is furious with Nora, but it was Salome who dug up Russel. She did it to destroy Roman and take power of the Authority. They invite Eric and Bill to join the movement, but they both turn them down. They aren’t going to get many chances to say no before they are killed. In a little ceremony, similar to what the Guardian used to hold, Salome forgives Russel and then says they want everyone to drink the blood of Lilith. Anyone who refuses or calls them crazy gets killed. No one knows what is going to happen when drinking the blood of the oldest vampire.

When they leave, Jason and Sookie finally start bonding again with the knowledge about their parents’ death. Jason turns to Jessica to get this news off his chest and pledge revenge.

Can anyone ID the black leather jacket that Eric wears during season 5 episode 7 when the vampires gather in Lilith’s chamber and drink her blood? He is still wearing it when they walk out on Bourbon street and go to the karaoke bar, massacre everyone, and see Lilith from a pool of blood. You can also see Eric wearing the jacket during the very first part of episode 8 after the True Blood credits and theme song goes off as the vampires all exit the elevator and start talking about how amazing their night has been…
All I can tell from what I see is that it has very distinctive seam lines around the shoulders, it has two angled zipper pockets on the chest, and a stand up buckled collar.
