Rescue of Something Precious – Correlation of Jason and Eric’s paths, Symbolism

Borrowed the term “Precious” from Lord of the Rings, but it’s not a ring here. It’s something of great value to the holder.

JASON [happened in S2; Jason’s Precious is Sookie] - Something of great value to Jason is taken and is being held by someone evil (Steve Newlin) who is in league with an unwitting but somewhat cowtowed (to the evil one) and complicit short-term lover (Sarah) of Jason’s. Jason becomes a crucial member of the team in rescuing his Precious. During the course of rescuing his Precious, he becomes like a different man, finding a new inner core. After a short while, circumstances return to normal and Jason returns to the previous life he missed so much, only to find he cannot approach it with his previous zeal. He is haunted by previous events. He sees people who, logically-speaking, should be dead given their wounds, and yet they’re animated. [the college coeds in whose heads he see bullet holes]

Sarah fell in love with Jason, but felt jilted and scorned when he left her behind to save his own skin from a serious threat. She felt bitterness towards Jason. She is in league with the person who takes Jason’s Precious but is mostly just along for the ride in this scenario.

ERIC [yet to happen; Eric’s Precious is his memory, command of his Area, and his super-fierce persona] - Something of great value to Eric is taken and is being held by someone evil (Hallow character) who is in league with an unwitting but somewhat cowtowed (to the evil one) and complicit short-term lover (Yvette). Eric becomes a crucial member of the team in rescuing his Precious. During the course of rescuing his Precious, he becomes like a different man, finding a new inner core. After a short while, circumstances return to normal and Eric returns to the previous life he missed so much, only to find he cannot approach it with his previous zeal. He is haunted by previous events. He sees people who, logically-speaking, should be dead given their wounds, and yet they’re animated. [vampires, but somehow, he notices more acutely now that they’re dead people walking]

Yvette falls in love with Eric, but feels jilted and scorned when he leavs her behind to save his own skin from a serious threat. She feels bitterness towards Eric. She is in league with the person who takes Eric’s Precious but is mostly just along for the ride in this scenario.
