Watch True Blood Season 2, Episode 1: Nothing But the Blood

Original Air Date—14 June 2009
Two weeks later. Sookie and the staff at Merlotte’s Bar & Grill are on edge when they find the dead body of a woman, who turns out to be Tara’s fake exorcist Miss Jeanette (not Lafayette), in a parked car with her heart torn out. Detective Andy and the sheriff investigate and apparently the town of Bon Temps has a new serial killer in their mists. Now that Bill has turned the not-so-innocent Jessica Hamby into a vampire, she is living with him at his mansion and he is trying to teach her their own unique code of ethics. Sookie isn’t too sure she likes the fact that Bill has this young, attractive woman living him, but their own relationship and emotions are too strong to set aside. Meanwhile, Tara is still living in Maryann’s luxurious home and she continues flirting with Eggs who is also living there. Maryann has a few choice words for Tara’s mother, Lettie Mae, when they meet. It also turns out that Sam Merlotte and Maryann have quite a history together and Sam tries to make amends, but Maryann has her own ideas. Also, Jason Stackhouse, who found religion while temporarily in jail, now considers going off to Texas for a Church-run leadership seminar for the Fellowship of the Sun. Elsewhere, Lafayette finds himself chained in a basement dungeon with a few other prisoners, and a new one is thrown in – the hick who was gay-bashing him in Merlotte’s. Eric has some questions for him regarding “a fire that killed three of our own”, and on the way the hick burns his face with a silver cross, prompting Eric to tear him apart, with Lafayette witnessing the gruesome event.
