There are only two more episodes left in the first season of True Blood. HBO already green lighted a second season. Goth and Emo kids everywhere will be happy to know that there will be even more goth vamp stereotypes raining down on us next year.
Last week, Bill was forced by the high councilman to make a new vampire life in order to repay his debt for killing the vamp bartender. Bill still isn’t trusted by his fellow vampires and is being watched carefully. After spending the night in the ground, Bill’s new vampire is absolutely terrified and Bill recoils. Jill hasn’t come to grips with her new life. Hilariously enough, she is excited over being given this freedom from her overly christian family. She whines and cries like a child. Bill now realizes that for Jill, being a vampire is excitement and freedom and he can’t stomach it. Bill turns Jill over to Eric promising him his unyielding gratitude which I’m certain Eric will be cashing in before too long.
Sam continues protecting Sookie after the town murderer tried to come after her again. Sookie fears that Bill won’t ever return and in her doubt she is turning toward Sam. Sookie realizes that her visions of the another of the murderers victims works at a pie shop nearby. Sam and Sookie go to investigate.
At the pie shop, an older man gives them the skinny on the murdered pie waitress. She too was rumored to be involved with vampires. Though they don’t get much, they do get the name of the victim’s brother who was a suspect but has disappeared. Sook and Sam get on the trail, and the two’s closeness is working in Sam’s favor. The inevitable happens, Sam and Sookie begin making out on her couch just as Bill returns. After breaking up the fight, Sookie lays down the whiny adolescent law. She rescinds Bill’s invitation and kicks him out.
Tara gets arrested in her tacky prom dress after getting drunk and swerving into a field to avoid a lady and her giant pig. Her now uber-moral mom arrives and tells her that she will not bail her out at all. Not surprisingly, Tara tears her a new one and passes out in the jail. When she wakes up, Maryanne the naked pig lady bails her out and offers her some help.
Lafayette is infuriated with his state Senator client after he goes on TV proclaiming the evilness of vampires, their human blood drinkers and homosexuals. The scene gives us perhaps the greatest single line this season. Terry, the shaky war veteran proclaims “I can’t listen to politicians no more, I get a seizure.”
Lafayette decides to pay the Senator a visit and bring the hammer down. I’ve said it before, Lafayette is an enormous ball of awesome and the show would be nearly unwatchable without him.
After staking Eddy, Jason and his “hippie bitch” girlfriend clean their now blood soaked basement. Jason begins to feel guilty and reminds us that although he makes some monstrously bad decisions, he isn’t evil. On the other hand, Amy is the most fantastically evil character in the show. Despite being earth friendly, she is an absolute monster drenched in pachouli oil. Jason makes perhaps the best decision he’s ever made in his life and smashes the vampire blood, proclaiming that they are forever free of hallucinogenic plasma. Amy pledges to clean up and the two share a gentle moment, but its soon lost since Amy did keep some of the V and entices Jason to do it with her again. Again they go on an insane sexual nature trip in their underwear. While they are running loose in their own minds, the killer comes into their home and kills Amy. Jason wakes up and calls the police.
Jason begins to believe that he killed Amy and he’s the town killer since he’s been around when all the murders occurred. I have to give Jason credit. He has become a fully rounded character with emotions, feelings and dangers.
While at the police station, the audience gets some pretty exciting evidence. The always awesome Rene is the brother of the murder victim at the pie shop. This is a fine set up for next weeks season ender.
