Season 2: Episode 6 - "Hard-Hearted Hannah"

gw366h244In Dallas Isabel's human boyfriend Hugo offers to accompany Sookie on her mission to locate Godric at the Light of Day institute. They leave for the church under the guise as a good Christian couple looking for a new church. On reading the minds of Sarah and Steve Newman Sookie discovers that their cover is blown and Steve has more sinister plans for the two. At the Light of Day camp, Jason Stackhouse decides to live a life of righteous celibacy then has those plans hijacked after a matter of hours. Jason provides another beautiful example of how easily impressionable young men can be – especially where sex is involved. Eric brings Bill's maker Lorena to the Vampire hotel in an attempt to drive a wedge between Sookie and Bill. We are treated with an extended flash back to the 1920s showing how violent, passionate killing used to be Bill's forte. Lorena prevents Bill from coming to Sookie's rescue resulting in Sookies imprisonment in the basement of the Light of Day institute. Daphne continues to court Sam with sickening innuendo, and ends in the ultimate double cross in the whole season so far. Tara and Eggs head out to get parts for the hot water system only to detour onto something disturbing. And for something completely different – Maryanne throws another orgy of Dianic proportions, the shock value is (not at all) high. The town folk fornicate as Maryanne dances her Shake-n-Bake routine and to mix things up a bit – this time she puts on a mask. Top 5 of "Hard-Hearted Hannah"

1. Hoyt's courtship of Jessica. Their innocent awkward interaction is too cute beyond words.

2. Eric's growing interest in Sookie – lets face it, after that hair cut he may just trump Bill in looks department.

3. Jason Stackhouse's cringe-worthy attempt at song writing.

4. Sookie, Hugo, Steve and the body guard trapped in the basement with Godric. What has happened? Will Jason help them? So many exciting conclusions to wait for.

5. Love a good 1920s speak easy, "Maybe after your guests leave we can F*** prohibition together." And in a way, they did.

Editor's 2 cents:
  1. We agree on Jessica and Hoyt.  They are just totally sweet.
  2. The scene in the kitchen with the hot water heater broken.  Maryann can't hide her hedonism, Eggs was being over-easy again in that outfit and did Tara actually apologize for being snarky???
  3. Anything Sam.  Seriously he keeps forcing me to forget he's cute and notice he's talented.  Great job Sam o' the Sam.
  4. The Andy, Terry, Lafayette triage in the kitchen.  I'm just not sure if I was supposed to be laughing so hard at the 'hallucination' but I was loving the Terry-care.  Hug Lafayette once for me!
  5. "Do Bad Things With You" intro.  Seriously, Every week I enjoy the heck out of this sequence and find it impossible to sit still!
Favorite Line: Lafayette to Pam, "Are you real?" Favorite boy or girl friend: Hoyt Hoyt Hoyt!  He provided the only 'feelgood' moment of the show. Biggest Sneak Appearance: Who noticed Nathan Barr playing the piano at the start of the roaring 20's scene? Least Favorite Scene:  I swear I'm not a prude but the orgy scene had me saying, 'More is NOT always Better'.  I could have done with a lot less detail.  In fact, I felt like this episode didn't give me any breathing room at all. Biggest Surprise:  Was that Stephen singing??? Be sure to share your favorite top 5 in the comments below.
