Last week we were left high and dry with a cliff hanger. The episode throws you back to where the last episode left us; it's at full pace from the start. The
Rattrays are beating
Sookie, to within inches of her life, and the mysterious dog from the first episode reappears trying to distract the
Rattrays, but one of them pulls a gun on the dog.
Sookie makes a grab for the gunman, but something throws him up into the air and against the trees and slits his throat, closely followed by the remaining
Rattray. You kinda guess that they are both dead. You know it is
Bill that has

come to the rescue and he picks up
Sookie, taking her to a secluded area, while she falls in and out of consciousness. He rests
Sookie gently on the ground and
Sookie explains that she cannot feel her legs.
Bill then takes a bite from himself and tells her she must drink his blood. She refuses as she doesn't want to become a
vampire, however,
Bill assures her that she won't and he forces her to drink his blood before his wound heals.
Sookie reluctantly drinks
Bill's blood, and it turns into a very sensual moment. After the reluctance fades, you realize that she is enjoying it far, far too much. She then loses consciousness, and the scene cuts to her waking up to see
Bill licking blood off her forehead.
Bill asks her "what are you" to which
Sookie replies that she is a telepath.
Bill asks if she can hear his thoughts but
Sookie states that she can't and that is why she likes him so much because it is so relaxing after a lifetime of hearing "blah, blah, blah." As
Sookie starts to move she realizes that she is healed. She is shocked and asks
Bill if doctors know what "V juice" can do; he explains that it is indeed a secret between them. Whilst
Bill is walking her back to her car,
Sookie asks his age.
Bill explains that he became a
vampire in 1865, when he was just 30 'human years' old.
Sookie inquires about whether he was in the Civil War, which he confirms that he was.
Sookie asks him to come and speak to her Grandma about the Civil War.
Bill thinks about this for a moment and agrees to go because it will make
Sookie happy.
Bill arranges to visit
Sookie the following day...after dark. Meanwhile,
Jason is being questioned by the police over
Maudette's murder. The police wait twelve hours before showing him a video that they have recovered of
Maudette and him being particularly intimate, including a snippet of what happens when
Jason leaves the scene. It shows
Maudette is only playing dead and once
Jason has left, she unhooks herself from the position she was in and turns the camera off. The police release
Jason, and he goes straight to see
Dawn (a waitress at
Merlotte's). All
Jason wants is his way with yet another women, especially after the day he has had and, inevitably, gets what he wants! In the second episode you learn a little bit more about the various characters. You find out that
Tara's mother is a drunk and that
Tara hates living at home with her. She has her cousin
Lafayette to call on when she doesn't want to be at home. I really like
Lafayette; he is a wicked character, he is fun, hilarious, and brings people out of their shells. I only hope we see more of him as the series progresses. You also meet
Sookie's Grandma, who dotes on both her grandchildren as they are all she has left of her family and she is all
Sookie and
Jason have too.
Sookie and her Grandma seem to have a special relationship.
Sookie's Grandma is very similar to
Sookie in her acceptance of
vampires and is very excited that
Bill has agreed to talk to her about the Civil War.
Bill arrives at
Sookie's; however, not only is he meeting
Sookie's Grandma, he also has the pleasure of meeting
Jason and
Tara, who are extremely rude to
Bill. Sookie's Grandma puts
Jason firmly back in his place; she will not tolerate rudeness in her home.
Bill agrees to talk at the church for
Sookie's Grandmas club. With the acceptance of
Sookie's Grandma,
Bill takes
Sookie for a walk.
Sookie pesters
Bill with more questions. She wants to know what effects
Bill's blood will have on her, to which he explains that her senses will be heightened, as will her libido, and his ability to feel where
Sookie is (he will even know if she is in trouble).
Sookie demands that
Bill try and work his magic in influencing her, but is surprised when he is unable to take control of her. They both accept each others special abilities and start walking again.
Bill takes her to his home, and explains to
Sookie that he is renovating the place and she offers a lending hand in helping to find contractors.
Bill then takes things a little further and is overwhelmed as he tells
Sookie that that he can "smell the sunlight on your skin".
Sookie is so drawn to him and grabs onto to
Bill and they kiss passionately until
Bill's fangs make a sharp entrance and
Bill pulls himself away from her. Bill is embarrassed about his fangs and decides to take
Sookie home. You really start to see that both characters are falling for each other when
Sookie keeps having adult dreams about
Bill. It's clear that
Bill is falling for
Sookie as well; he understands that
Sookie can only be herself around him because she cannot hear his thoughts. The next scene between
Sookie and
Bill, Sookie arrives at
Bill's home to deliver the contractors details however, she is greeted not by
Bill, but three not so friendly
vampires, one of which looks strangely familiar. What will happen to
Sookie, will
Bill save her again? This was another cracking episode which left me scared for
Sookie again; will the poor girl ever have an easy life?? We shall have to wait for the next installment of
True Blood on Wednesday at 22:00 GMT on Channel 4.
