Sandra’s instability increases, and she spends time in jail for assault and battery on a cousin who benefited from the Pelts’ estate. After her release, she again focuses on Sookie, first firebombing Merlotte’s in an attempt to kill her and then hiring four thugs to grab her from the bar. She even attempts to enter Sookie’s house, but Amelia’s wards keep her out. Sandra finally goes to Merlotte’s, screams out her frustration at Sookie’s failure to die, and pulls a gun, only to be thwarted once again, this time by a baseball bat–swinging Terry Bellefleur. Sandra manages to escape from custody while at the hospital being treated for her injuries and lies low until she is able to take Sam and Jannalynn hostage at his trailer in an attempt to lure Sookie from her house. When Sookie balks at going to Sam’s, sensing something is wrong, Sandra forces Sam and Jannalynn to take her to Sookie’s, not knowing that Sookie’s suspicions have her lying in wait in the woods with her shotgun. The blast from the shotgun barely slows Sandra down, but a furious Jannalynn takes advantage and attacks, ultimately breaking Sandra’s neck and then crushing her skull. The body is disposed of through the fairy portal in the woods, much to the savage delight of whatever is just on the other side. (DD; mentioned DAAD, FDTW; dies DR)
