True Blood

A brutal murder outside Merlotte's has Bon Temps reeling with shock. Meanwhile, Sookie's relationship with Bill is tested when she learns of his siring of Jessica, and of his involvement in her uncle's death.

Sookie is forced to cope with Bill's obligations to Jessica, as well as the romantic inconveniences the teen vampire's presence creates. Meanwhile, at the Light of Day leadership conference, Jason makes a good impression on its ambitious leaders, Steve and Sarah Newlin.

When Sookie is attacked by a mysterious creature, Bill must enlist Eric's help to save her. Meanwhile, at the Light of Day retreat, Jason has second thoughts about the sect's anti-vampire agenda, but Sarah and Steve counter with flattery and promises.

Jessica, Bill and Sookie head to Dallas to carry out Eric's mission - but a surprise awaits them at the airport. Meanwhile, at the Light of Day institute, Jason falls victim to a practical joke, but gets revenge when the Newlins anoint him for a higher calling.

In Dallas, Sookie connects with one of her own, then joins Bill and Eric for a strategic summit at the lair of the missing vampire, Godric. Meanwhile, Jason shows his passion at a Light of Day boot camp, and is rewarded for his hard work with a gift from Sarah.

Accompanied by Isabel's human boyfriend Hugo, Sookie embarks on a dangerous mission to locate Godric. Meanwhile, Bill is shocked when a vampire from his distant and more violent past resurfaces in Dallas.

Imprisoned with Hugo, Sookie uses her telepathic powers to contact Bill, who's being detained at the hotel by a stubbornly obsessive Lorena. Meanwhile, betrayed by Daphne, Sam finds himself in an unenviable predicament at the hands of Maryann and her zombie minions.

Sookie's captivity takes an unexpected turn when Eric arrives and finds the Fellowship of the Sun church in full lockdown mode. Meanwhile, in Bon Temps, Sam finds himself in trouble after making a gruesome discovery at Merlotte's, but Andy fails to come to his defence.

A wounded Eric plays Sookie for a sucker, to Bill's dismay, and ends up getting inside her head. Meanwhile, Lafayette and Lettie Mae try to figure out a way to pry their kin from Maryann's clutches, and Hoyt is forced to defend his relationship with Jessica.

When Sookie, Bill and Jason return to Bon Temps, they're faced with the town looking like a disaster zone and the residents under Maryann's spell. Meanwhile, with all hell breaking loose, Jason vows to rescue Sam ... at least for the moment.

With the crisis in Bon Temps spiralling out of control, Bill courts the advice of the Vampire Queen of Louisiana, Sophie-Anne, whilst Sookie and Lafayette find that protecting Tara from herself is more difficult than they anticipated.

The mayhem in Bon Temps reaches fever pitch as Maryann prepares for her sacrifice, conscripting Sookie to be Maid of Honour at the bloody nuptials. Meanwhile, Sophie-Anne warns Eric to keep the lid on Bill's inquisitiveness, and Jason leads Andy into the heroic abyss.

Across the country, vampires have "come out of the coffin" following the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood. In Louisiana, Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic abilities, falls under the spell of sexy, 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton.

Sookie suffers a lot of injuries and Bill tries to save her "the Vampire way". The next day her brother is released from police custody and the bodies of Sookie's attackers are found. Later, Bill goes to visit Sookie's family but gets a not so friendly welcome.

Foiled in their attempt to "glamour" Sookie, Malcolm, Liam and Diane retreat after Bill lays claim to her. Meanwhile, at Merlotte's, Sam searches for a short-term remedy to his long-term loneliness, whilst Tara seeks respite from her mother's alcohol-fuelled rage.

When another killing in Bon Temps lands Jason in custody, Tara attempts to get him free, but neither she nor Lafayette has the antidote to his current ailment. Meanwhile, whilst trying to help Jason, Sookie persuades Bill to take her to a vampire bar called Fangtasia.

Spurned by Sookie, Bill wins over Adele's church audience with his vivid recollections from the Civil War, though Andy and Bud remain suspicious. Meanwhile, Sam tries to make the most of his opportunity with Sookie, though she doesn't seem ready to commit.

Numbed by tragedy, Sookie looks for refuge from the cacophony of her friends and neighbours' inner voices. Meanwhile, Tara resists the overtures of her mother, Lettie Mae, who's trying to rid herself of a demon and needs her daughter's help.

Sookie's painful childhood revelation about her Uncle Bartlett spurs Bill into action. Meanwhile, despite her scepticism, Tara agrees to fund an exorcism to purge a demon out of Lettie Mae, and Jason heads to Fangtasia, where he meets a daring young woman named Amy.

Tara is amazed by Lettie Mae's turnaround, and considers similar therapy for herself after lashing out at Sookie and Sam. Meanwhile, Jason's new squeeze, Amy, charms the crowd at Merlotte's, but shows a darker side to Jason when their V-juice well runs dry.

Bill breaks a vampire taboo in protecting Sookie, and must pay a steep price as a result. Meanwhile, Jason and Amy break their own taboo by kidnapping a vampire named Eddie to harvest his blood, and Tara consults with Miss Jeanette about exorcising an inner demon.

Caught in a compromising position, Sam shares a secret with an incredulous Sookie. Meanwhile, thinking she's been purged of her demon, Tara celebrates with Lettie Mae but is swiftly angered when she uncovers Miss Jeanette's true intentions.

Bill fulfils the conditions of the tribunal's sentence, although he and Eric find that Jessica doesn't quite turn out as expected. Meanwhile, in attempting to try and solve the mystery behind her most recent vision, Sookie heads to a pie shop with Sam.

Sookie finds a link to the string of killings in Bon Temps, and ends up in the murderer's sights. Meanwhile, Tara decides to make the most of her second chance with Maryann, and Jason finds a new calling after receiving a jail visit.
