In Bon Temps, vampires and humans coexist uneasily. Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress, navigates this world, often caught between her supernatural friends and human dangers. This season, a deadly virus called Hep-V decimates vampire populations, leading to widespread panic and violence.

The core conflict revolves around finding a cure for Hep-V. This quest is complicated by the emergence of aggressive, infected vampires and the revelation that Eric Northman is infected. Key turning points include the deaths of Alcide Herveaux and Tara Thornton, and the shocking discovery that Bill Compton has contracted Hep-V. The search for Sarah Newlin, who holds the cure, drives much of the action.

The season concludes with Bill Compton choosing true death over a cure, and Sookie fulfilling his wish by staking him. Eric and Pam take over a vampire business, and a flash-forward reveals Sookie pregnant and happy with a new partner.
