Eric can fly, unlike the rest of the vampires.

Goof: Tara was tied up at Lafayette's, but after she recovers she goes to hug her mother without having ever been untied.

It seems odd that Jason could hear Andy whispering, but could not hear Sam talking in a normal to shouting voice.

It's revealed that the older a vampire is, the quicker he or she will be destroyed by the rays of the sun.

When Godric says goodbye to Eric he calls him "Father, brother, son". This refers to when Godric turned Eric into a vampire and told him "I'll be your father, your brother, your son".

While Lorena cries blood in this episode, both Jessica and Isobel also cry during this hour (Isobel even sniffles) but we do not see any blood stream down their cheeks.

Based on what happened to Jessica, we can surmise that whatever state a person's body is in when they are turned is the state that their body will return to whenever they are injured.

Vampire Mythology

In this episode, we find out that older vampires may require very little blood to survive.

The black-and-white movie that Tara and Eggs watch at Sookie's house is the 1958 film The Screaming Skull. The b-movie is best known for having appeared on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

In this episode, it is revealed that Maryann is a Maenad. As correctly stated in the episode, a Maenad is a female follower of Dionysus, the god of wine and the inspirer of ecstasy.

Tidbit: The song that Bill plays on the piano in 1926 is the same one that he was practicing in last season's finale before Jessica was returned to him.

In this episode we find out that Godric is Eric's maker.

Jessica learns how to glamour in this episode.

According to the t-shirt that Sookie is given to wear, the address of Fangtasia is 44 Industrial Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana.

In the scene where Eric asks Pam and Chow to go search the woods, Eric says "Du hörde vad jag sa" which is Swedish and means "You heard what I said".

Dr. Ludwig says that Komodo dragons will bite and poison it's prey then track it for days waiting for it to die. This is not true. Although they do have saliva rich with bacteria, and that a bite from one could cause infections, Komodo dragons mostly eat carrion, or animals that are already dead. When a Komodo does attack live prey, it ambushes it, attacking the legs of larger prey or the throats of smaller prey, and bites until its prey is dead. Then depending on the size of the prey, the Komodo will either tear pieces, or swallow it whole.

*** Actually her comment can be true. On the BBC documentary Life, we see a pack of Komodos stalk a water buffalo. One of the Komodos bites it in the leg and they subsequently wait a week for the bite to kill it before they attack it while weakened and eat it. Exactly how the doctor describes it.

The first scene takes place right after the previous episode. However, Sookie's hair is a lot more curly.

The second season is based on Charlaine Harris' second Sookie Stackhouse novel Living Dead in Dallas. However, in the book Lafayette was found dead in Andy's car while in the series it was Miss Jeanette.
