Big Patty’s Pie House is Chip’s Restaurant in real life. Come for the eggs, stay for the ambience. Crime-solving tips are extra. (Gary Wayne/www.seeing-stars.com)

Highlight: Amy: “Don’t you dare get morally superior on me. I am an organic vegan, and my carbon footprint is miniscule.”

Nightcap: More Hoyt! He’s so precious, we could make a drinking game out of how many times he tells someone he’s sorry. First, he wants to be Bill. Then he wants to be Jason. Then he wants to be Rene. He wants to be his own man, but he’s switching role models the way a child flips through television channels. Though Sookie is shocked to learn that werewolves exist, Anna Paquin played one in Trick ’r Treat (2009). When Sookie is being stalked inside Merlotte’s she flashes to the killer’s thoughts and sees a woman, played by Stacie Rippy, who guest-starred in The Class, a show in which Lizzy Caplan (Amy Burley) was a regular. When the senator arrives, Lafayette is watching The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) with Kirk Douglas and Lana Turner, an appropriate selection for two reasons: the film itself is about the toll professional ambitions take on our personal lives, and Lana Turner, who was married eight times (something that might appeal to Lafayette’s playboy persona), epitomized the idea that suffering and glamour went hand-in-hand. The musician playing throughout the engagement party is C. C. Adcock, born in Lafayette, Louisiana, and known for his cajun, zydeco, electric blues, and swamp pop–influenced sound.

Relationship Crypt Falls: Amy, if our parents wanted us to know they really flushed our hamsters down the toilet, they wouldn’t tell us they’d “been set free to roam in the fields.” You drove a plank into Jason’s pet. I don’t think we have to tell you, it left a mark.

Paging Dr. Creepy: The sight of a vampire having his fangs pulled out by the root made me shudder. Because we know those roots are probably about, what, 125 years old?

Location, Location, Location: Bill’s junkyard trial was shot on — wait for it! — yes, a real junkyard. One of these days, we’ll hear the sordid details of the poor set designer who had to create a scrap heap from scratch. This one, however, is very much real and located at Aadlen Bros. Auto Wrecking in Sun Valley, California, a small city in San Fernando Valley just south of the Golden State Freeway. The yard has also been used for a number of films and television series, including The Running Man, Escape from L.A., The A-Team, Beverly Hills 90210, and Dexter. Visit them online at aadlenbros.com. Miss Jeanette’s day job location actually is a pharmacy of the same name, DeSoto’s Pharmacy. It’s also located in San Fernando Valley in Canoga Park, California, in a small shopping center northwest of Universal Studios Hollywood. Inside customers can enjoy drinks from an old-fashioned soda fountain while they wait for their prescriptions.

Encore: “I Don’t Wanna Know,” performed by Dr. John, plays during the end credits. Malcolm John “Mac” Rebennack Jr.
