Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
And just like that, True Blood's on a bit of an upswing. Benefitting greatly from "final season-itis," this episode bumped off Alcide in its closing moments. A surprise death that upped the ante a little bit with regards to the infected vamps/crazy townsfolk threat that our main characters now face. Because, truth be told, both the sick vamps and the angry mob of Bon Tempsians have mostly come off as simps. So this death was actually a good way to make the danger feel more vital. Despite it being perpetrated by a nobody.
Now, I'm not going to write something like "This is how you kill off a main character," as a sneering nod to the wasteful way the show dispatched Tara in the (off screen) opening moments of the premiere, because honestly Alcide should have bit the dust years ago. Even now, when Sookie actually acknowledged out loud that she didn't love him as much as he loved her, it felt like something we all knew. He was always the second choice in the weaker of the two series Sookie love triangles and the show never did anything to make him rise above that. And so when Sookie refused to let Bill or Jessica turn Aclide in order to save him, you knew it came from more than one place in her heart.
