In Derrick’s mind, that one night makes them a couple, and he continues to call for a time, hoping for more.

While working as a cook at Merlotte’s, Sweetie kills teenager Heather Kinman, a werefox. She also shoots Calvin Norris, a werepanther, who barely survives, and wings Sookie, mistaking her for a shifter because of the scent of shifter on her.
