Quick warning: This post contains spoilers from True Blood episode five, season seven.
After a tumultuous time from the beginning of season seven until now, with the deaths of two major characters — Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Alcide (Joe Manganiello) — Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) decides to throw a party for the town in Sookie’s (Anna Paquin) house to celebrate the lives of those lost and those still living.
Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) stands guard outside, still feeling guilty for killing three of Andy Bellefleur’s (Chris Bauer) daughters. Andy comes outside and talks to Jessica, acknowleding her help this season protecting his last remaining daughter, Adilyn (Bailey Noble), and Jessica’s part in rescuing his girlfriend Holly (Lauren Bowles) after her recent kidnapping.
“Life’s too short,” Andy tells her. “Jessica, it’s too f**king precious to always be looking backwards. I’m moving fowards.”
He then asks to borrow one of her rings, so he can propose to Holly inside. But Jessica has a better idea and runs inside to ask Sookie for her grandmother’s ring. Jessica, Andy, Jason (Ryan Kwanten), Sookie, and Violet (Karolina Wydra) gather in the bedroom to retrieve the ring, which is stored away in a velvet ring box in a dresser drawer.
This scene is the only one where the viewer is given a good, albeit very brief, look at the ring, which appears to feature a round center diamond with a simple diamond band. It looks similar to our HEK1016 setting with a round diamond — elegant, classic, and traditional.
The ring was originally left to Jason by his grandmother, but Jason tells Andy, “It’s all yours.”
The five of them go downstairs and Andy finds Holly. Andy asks them to kill the music and gets down on one knee, holding the ring box. At first he stumbles over his words and then begins pouring his heart out. He says Holly’s kidnapping made his realize he needed to propose. He opens the ring box and says, “Please, wear this ring for me?” Holly immediately says, “Yes!” but Andy says, “I didn’t ask you yet. You gotta let me ask you.”
Then he says, “Holly Cleary, I love you with everything I got. Will you marry me?” This time she answers him with a kiss, and everyone cheers.
Somehow, the proposal felt just right in macabre True Blood style. Do you think anyone else will get engaged or married during this final season? Let us know in the comments
