Quick recap

Sam and Tray reveal in public that they're shifters, and Bon Temps takes it fairly well. Sam leaves town, and Sookie runs the bar. Crystal, Jason's pregnant wife, is found crucified in the Merlotte's parking lot. Eric tricks Sookie into a vampire marriage to shield her from the new king. Arlene, who's dating a Fellowship member, sets a trap for Sookie, who escapes; Arlene is arrested. Sookie learns the fairies Lochlan and Neave killed her parents and Crystal as part of a war against her great-grandfather Niall. They kidnap and torture her until Bill and Niall rescue her. In the final battle, Claudine and Tray die, Eric and Bill kill Breandan, and Niall seals off Faery.
