'True Blood' recap: Season 5, Episode 5, 'Let's Boot and Rally'

Sookie joins the search for Russell as the Authority begins to get a tad bit impatient

PARENTAL CONTROL: What was the aftermath of Jason and Andy's trip to fairyland. Jason wakes up in a dream from childhood (except he's an adult and wearing some super-sweet Masters of the Universe jammies).

It's Christmas (little Sookie is there!) and the Stackhouses are having a nice breakfast until Jason sees vampire bites and blood spurting from the necks of his parents (refresher: cousin Hadley told Jason last episode that his parents were killed by vampires).

I wonder if Jason's going to explore this further -- or tell Sookie?

Meanwhile, all that happens to Andy is that we wakes up naked and Arlene spots him and is scandalized. If you're keeping score, Andy has been nude twice this season. Twice.

JESUS!: Lafayette, meanwhile, is visited by Jesus. Well, Jesus' severed head with his lips sewn up like a tourist shrunken head. I know Lafayette is battling his whole inner-black-magic-demon, but what the hell is going on here. Even his schizophrenic mom, Ruby Jean (Alfre Woodard) sees Jesus' head. If it weren't for Terry's situation, this would be the most ridiculously random plot.

MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM 'LET'S BOOT AND RALLY'

Not the best first move: When Sookie removes Alcide's shirt in her bedroom, she can no longer hold her liquor and pukes all over her shoes. I imagine this doesn't happen often to a shirtless Joe Manganiello.

ERIC IS NOT A BIG APPLE FAN: "New York City smells like pee and the people are rude," he summarizes.

WORST LOOK: Hoyt, in full fang-banger mode, wears a purple shirt with cut-off sleeves.

LEAST-RELATABLE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEM: Andy tells Jason that he's not going to let a little thing like "sex with fairies" get in the way of the good thing he has going on with Holly.

FUNNIEST THINGS THAT CAME TO LIFE: Lafyette's group of religious icons start to move and talk to him. I think I heard one say, "Life is suffering bitch."
