Take a Walk Down a Vampire-Filled Memory Lane with Our Top 50 True Blood Moments

22. Bill Asks Sookie for One Last Favor

Bill recalls that Sookie’s living room is where he first called upon her. Still stinging from the knowledge that Bill intends to die, she doesn’t think nostalgia belongs with suicidal thoughts. He says the disease is making him feel more human than when he was human, which is something he hasn’t felt in a long time.

When he stopped in the cemetery, he saw his gravestone and realized that he should be with his human family. The gravestone as it stands now is a lie. If he stays with Sookie, he’d be denying her a real life. He has seen her around children, how she lights up around them. Bill wants Sookie to have a chance at children and grandchildren, and that’s not possible for her to have that life if she is with him. Sookie thinks that Bill should just break up with her, since she can’t seem to get away from him, but he loves her too much to do that. He asks her to perform the “ultimate kindness” on him, which would kill him and rid her of the line of vampire suitors who will be coming after her when he dies. If she does this, it will set them both free.

Sookie thinks Bill needs to leave, and she threatens to rescind his invitation. He asks her to think about it, and she says she will. Bill takes one final look at Sookie in the room and leaves.
