Jessica and Hoyt are seen living together for over a year. There is obvious tension when Hoyt arrives home. He gets angry at Jessica for not cooking him dinner, after working all day. Later, Hoyt brings Jessica to Fangtasia for a date night. ("She's Not There") Protesters outside of Fangtasia antagonize customers as Pam looks on with a wan smile. Jessica and Hoyt try to leave, but one of them insults Jess, calling her a whore, while another records the exchange on a cell phone camera. Hoyt steps in to defend her honor and one of the protesters picks a fight. Hoyt gets pummeled. Jessica moves to help him but Pam holds her back, musing that technology has taken all the fun out of being a vampire.
