NEW YORK (CBS) One "True Blood" character turns out to be a faerie in Sunday night's "I Smell A Rat" episode.

When Bill explains to Sookie that she's a faerie and her reaction is anything but sugary sweet.

Sookie says of the magical discovery: "How f**king LAME!" But after Bill recounts his conversation with Claudine, he gets a more serious reaction from Sookie as he explains that faerie blood is intoxicating to vampires.

In the parking lot at Merlotte's, Tara and Jason clean up what remains of Franklin, while Jesus, Lafayette and Crystal race to the hospital with a dying Calvin in their clutches. Knowing that he won't make it, Lafayette stops at his own house and performs V to Calvin. The man's lethal wound instantly heals, but he regains consciousness enraged that they fed him "vamper juice."

Sam drinks alone in his trailer, thinking back to the man he was before moving to Bon Temps. He and a woman named Charlene were jewelry thieves until she double-crossed him with her boyfriend Jon. As he continues drinking libations, Sam re-lives the rest of his memory, tracking the couple who cheated him into the woods and killing them in cold blood.

At Fangtasia, Eric goes over his will with a lawyer, giving everything to Pam, who watches with growing concern. Bill watches TV at Sookie's as Nan Flanagan tries to perform damage control after Russell's murder of a national news anchor.

Tara finally opens up to Sookie at Jason's house about what Franklin did to her. Sookie does her best to support her friend, while outside Bill instructs Jason to keep Sookie safe from werewolves that are undoubtedly coming for her. Later, Tara thanks Jason for being such a good friend, and when they briefly smooch, Jason can't take the guilt anymore and admits that he killed Eggs. Speechless, Tara walks out.
