The seventh and final season of the HBO vampire series True Blood continued Sunday night with the airing of episode six, titled Karma. This one had it all: the Yakuza, a somber Bill learning he is infected with Hep V, the news that Sookie was the cause of it, and a revelation that an antidote to the deadly disease lies within Sarah Nylin.

Karma wasn’t the most exciting episode of the run, but it effectively moved the various storylines along in a way that helped build anticipation for the final four episodes that are left in the series.

Fair warning: there are spoilers ahead.

Bill has been infected with Hep V and goes to see a lawyer named Madeline Kapneck to help him put all of his affairs in order before his demise. The disease is accelerating through him at a faster than normal rate because it turns out Sookie is responsible for passing the disease on to him, and her fairy blood is causing it to spread through him quicker than usual. Bill wants to leave everything he owns to Jessica but cannot, due to a state law preventing anyone from bequeathing property to another party after their death. Kapneck tells Bill there’s a loophole in the provision allowing him to leave his estate to Jessica if he adopts her. But that could take up to a year, longer than Bill has left. After Kapneck tries to extort Bill by saying she can expedite the process for $10 million, he attempts to glamour her, but when that doesn’t work, he gives her an impassioned plea about greed in the face of death. Kapneck is unmoved, so in a fit of frustrated anger, he stabs her in the chest with a letter opener.

We also learn that there is a cure for the Hep V disease and Sarah Nylin is the key. The very same person who created the disease and infected the world with it has the antidote coursing through her own veins.

This revelation brings us to the Yakuza. Eric, also infected with the Hep V, takes out a bunch of machete-wielding members but when he realizes they’ve captured Pam he has no choice but to surrender. The two of them are taken to Yakanomo Corporation and the President of the North American chapter, Mr. Gus Jr. He explains that the company has gone bankrupt as a result of what happened with True Blood. Mr. Gus Jr wants to take revenge on Sarah but Eric refuses at first. Pam convinces him to go along with the deal and the three of them are the only ones who know that Sarah’s blood holds the cure to the worldwide epidemic. Will they kill her, bottle her blood and distribute it around the world to save the vampire and human populations?

After everything she has wrought, that would be the very definition of the word “karma.”
