The 5 Biggest Shockers From the True Blood Series Finale

In Bill's continuing quest for the true death, he implores Sookie to give him "the ultimate kindness" — use her faerie light-ball on him and kill him. We'll get to that later, but the rest of the episode keeps us on the edge of whether she'll go through with it, from her surprising new ability to read his mind (and to hear nothing but sweet nothings) to her flashback of Gran telling her she can have any kind of future she wants.

Did anyone see this coming? I mean, their reconnection last week had been promising, but I never would have thought that we'd see a surprise wedding on this series finale. With Bill knowing he's going to die, his delight at Jessica and Hoyt being back together gives way to a dying wish: that he see his "daughter" marry. After an embarrassing exchange in which he admits this and gets Hoyt to propose, Jessica decides she's down, and a quickie ceremony is arranged. Though it's all so fast, the vows are moving, everyone is happy, and at least one relationship is tied up in a neat little bow.

We've been waiting for a gory fate for Sarah Newlin since she's emerged as one of the series's biggest villains (at least in terms of the damage she's caused). She does get what's coming to her, but she doesn't die. First, Eric and Pam let her go, knowing they'll track her down, kill Mr. Gus and the rest of the yakuza, then get her back to synthesize her blood. It's not enough that Eric and Pam become millionaires off "New Blood," but they torture Sarah forever by letting people drink her at $100K per minute. Oh, and she's haunted forever by Steve Newlin, which certainly must suck.
