True Blood – Season 3 Episode 2 – Beautifully Broken

A Quick Glimpse Behind the Scenes

Thomas: Well, that was quite a day… now to recap episode two of True Blood! But first, does anyone have any super-important crisis to which I must immediately attend, lest the world and all we hold dear perish?

Everyone in the Goddamn World: YES WE DO.

Thomas: Sadface.

One week later…

Thomas: Well, that was quite… oh, the hell with it. So, episode two. But first, does anyone-

Everyone in the Goddamn World: Deep breath…

Thomas: Hey, look over there! That vevuzela is spilling oil onto the stock market!

Everyone in the Goddamn World: This intrigues us…

Thomas: Runs away.



Previously, on True Blood

-The Lost Woods-

Vampire Bill: It has come to my attention that some question the superiority of the Vampire race, in particular as it pertains to those of the lupine persuasion. And while young Master Jacob may, indeed, be cut like a diamond, I feel I must interject with the fact that these fangs are not entirely for show. To wit: fangs!

The Werewolf Pack: Why is he ripping off our limbs?

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi: Because you’re a bunch of were-douches.

Vampire Bill: It’s the Vampire Queen King of Mississippi! Squee, curtsy.

-Lafayette’s House of Awesome-

Tara Thornton: Eggs! Pills! Eggs! Pills! Eggs! Pills!

Lafayette Reynolds: Bitch please! He was the most annoying character on the show. He ain’t worth killing yourself over!

Momma Thornton: Jesus! Demons! Bible! Holy Ghost!

Lafayette Reynolds: Bitch please! On behalf of everyone in the audience: Bitchslap!

-Eric’s Lair Nightclub-

Sookie Stackhouse: So: Operation Werewolf. Spill.

Eric Northman: Well it certainly doesn’t have anything to do with a secret pack of Nazi werewolves, which Godric and I hunted in World War II. Why do you ask? Also: Vampire Bill is lame.

-Flashback! Eric and Godric: Nazi Werewolf Hunters!-

Poor Dumb Allied Soldier: Hey, a scared, naked woman! I better help!

Petrova the Were Chick: Wolf mode! Evisceration!

Eric and Godric: Stab! Stab stab stabbity stab!

Petrova the Were Chick: Sadface.

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: So, hypothetically, if someone had a body to get rid of…

-The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Castle Rather Large House-

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi: Welcome, Vampire Bill, to my humble abode.

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Boyfriend: Dude, you were supposed to be here last night.

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi: There were… complications.

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Boyfriend: Fucking werewolves.

Everyone: Nods solemnly.

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Boyfriend: Anyway, let’s show you to your room. Which is lined with silver. And guarded by four rather large beefca… men. Thanks for coming by!

Vampire Bill: I must protest!

-Lafayette’s Pimp Mobile-

Tara Thornton: Don’t take me to the hospital! I’m all right!

Lafayette Reynolds: Bitch please! You’re actually upset that Eggs is dead! That’s the very definition of insane!

-Vampire Bill’s Vampire Estate-

Sookie Stackhouse: Hey Jessica! Want me to spend the night and keep you company?

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Hahaha! Thanks, but I’m worried you’ll find the body under the stairs you won’t sleep well! Nervous laugh.

Hoyt Fortenberry: Hi Jessica! Sexy time?

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: No! I’ll eat you!

Hoyt Fortenberry: Oh please Oh please Oh please…

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: No, in a fangs! kind of way!

Hoyt Fortenberry: Sadface.

-Sookie’s Trailer Park House-

Jason Stackhouse: Hi Sookie! I came by to-

Sookie Stackhouse: Sack Tap!

Jason Stackhouse: -fix your windows. Weep.

Later that morning

Jason Stackhouse: So, Bill’s gone, werewolves are real, and Eggs is dead.

Sookie Stackhouse: That’s pretty much it.

Jason Stackhouse: What about bigfoot? And Santa? Because if Eggs is dead, there must be a Santa!

Sookie Stackhouse: Jason, focus! I don’t know what I’m going to do! All I can think about is how bill shows up and goes… <vampire-bill>Suhky!</vampire-bill>

-Sam’s Mobile… Truck-

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Don’t move. Out of the truck.

Sam Merlotte: Which is it?

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Stop making my brain hurt!

Sam’s Momma: Who the hell is that?

Sam’s Poppa: Who the hell is that?

Sam Merlotte: It’s me! Your long lost puppy son!

Sam’s Momma: Yay!

Sam’s Poppa: Whatever.

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Dick.

-Merlotte’s – Now (and Always) Hiring Waitresses-

J. Random Werewolf’s Brain: Murder kidnap sex kidnap murder Let’s Make a Deal.

Terry Bellefleur: Hi Sookie! I’m here to conveniently interrupt your kidnapping! Wow, it sure is funny how these footprints turn into pawprints. It’s almost like he’s a werewolf or something! Crazy eyes!

-Bon Temps Center for Reasonable Psychiatric Practices-

Mamma Reynolds: Hi baby! You still a homo? This is my mexican nurse. Wetback!

Lafayette Reynolds: Bitch please! You see what happens when you fry your brain on pills and goofballs?

Tara Thornton: Well that’s less than ideal.

-Bon Temps Hall of Justice-

Andy Bellefleur: I ain’t saying I’m a hero… I’m just saying I’m a hero. Now if you’ll excuse me… Stackhouse! What the hell’s wrong with you, raining on my hero parade?

Jason Stackhouse: Wow, that’s a lot of fawning reporters! I bet they’d love to know what really happened!

Andy Bellefleur: Hey, let’s eat!

-Merlotte’s Grill and Guns-

Terry Bellefleur: Don’t worry Sookie! Even if I did tell people about the werewolf, they’d just say “oh, it’s crazy Terry, being all crazy again!” Here, have a pistol! I keep it in the coffee grounds! Crazy eyes!

-Sam’s Redneck Family Reunion-

Sam’s Momma: So, were your foster parents nice? Did you have a good life?

Sam Merlotte: Yeah… right up until I turned into a goddamn dog in front of them. That put a little stress on our relationship.

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Whatever, dick. Let’s take off our clothes and go for a run. Naked.

-Vampire Bill’s Vampire Estate-

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: So… how much does it cost to rent a chainsaw? Because I’ve got a dead body tree stump that needs cutting.

-The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Castle Rather Large House-

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi’s Boyfriend: Bill, you simply must try this blood! The donor fed on tangerines for weeks! The blood is fruity! Just like us! Now where did I put that Philippine boy?

The Vampire Queen King of Mississippi: Anyway, Vampire Bill, I want your help blackmailing the Vampire Queen of Louisiana into marrying me. Oh, don’t worry… I just want her for her money. There will be no winking or nudging.

Vampire Bill: I cannot wait until my Queen rams a stake through your heart.

-Merlotte’s Booze and Boys-

Jason Stackhouse: Man, it sucks how everyone loves you! They should be thanking me for shooting Eggs!

Thomas: Believe me, we are!

Andy Bellefleur: Aw, Jason! You’ve got a lot going for you. You’re… pretty.. and… pretty.

-Sam’s Redneck Family Reunion-

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Let’s play in traffic! Sit! Lie! Play dead!

-Vampire Bill’s Vampire Estate-

Franklin the Friendly Vampire: My, this certainly is an interesting file of family histories, newspaper clippings, and surveillance photos Bill’s been keeping of Sookie since she was five years old. Pedo.

-Sookie’s Playhouse-

Eric Northman: So, you know how I said I didn’t know anything about Operation Werewolf? Well, it turns out me and the Vampire Jesus may have hunted them during World War Two. Totally slipped my mind. Also: they’re all hopped up on vampire blood. Which is rather inconvenient. Did I mention that you’r really hot? So, sexy time?

-Merlotte’s Love Shack-

Terry Bellefleur: Hi Arlene! I wrote a list! It’s ten reasons why you can trust me with your kids! Crazy eyes!

True Blood – Season 3 Episode 1 – Bad Blood

Previously, on True Blood:

Vampire Bill: Suhky, I believe I may have mislead you when I implied that my violent reaction to Longshadow’s even more violent reaction to your telepathic unearthing of his nefarious schemes would prove inconsequential to both you and me. In point of fact…

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Hi, guys!

Vampire Bill: …I now have a teenage vampire daughter.

Hoyt Fortenberry: You’re hot! Sexy time?

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Yes please!

Lafayette Reynolds: Sadface.



Steve Newlin: Hi guys! God hates fags fangs!

Jason Stackhouse: Well, you got me convinced! Hey Steve Newlin’s wife! You sure are hot! Sexy time!

Godric the Vampire Jesus: Wow, eternal life sure is the bore. Where does your church stand on assisted suicide?

Steve Newlin: I got a stake right here!

Eric Northman: Grr, fangs, pout, rescue, pout.

Godric the Vampire Jesus: Oh well. Quantum Leap sunlight suicide powers activate!

Eric Northman: Very. Sad. Face. Plus some begging in Old Scandinavian.



Sam Merlotte: Hmm. That family that moved out of our house while I was at school, and didn’t bother telling me where they went? I think I’m gonna go look them up now.



Vampire Bill: Suhky, will you esteem me greatly by doing me the honor of becoming my wife?

Sookie Stackhouse: Freaks out, goes to powder her nose.

Leather Clad Hands of Doom: Kidnap Vampire Bill.

The Plot: Thickened.

And now, Season Three of Twiight For Adults (With Actual Vampire (and Sex)) True Blood



Sookie Stackhouse: Bill! Biiiiiiil! Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill!

French Waitress: Well eff this right in the a.



Jason Stackhouse: Wow, shooting a guy in the head is nothing like how Call of Duty makes it seem.



Tara Thornton: Oh no, Eggs is dead!

Lafayette Reynolds: Comfort.

Everyone Else: Happy dance.



Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Aw, Hoyt left me flowers! Well, I better hide this body!



The Fuck You Crew: Hi Vampire Bill! We’re here to torture you! Torture!

Vampire Bill: I must say, this is less than gentlemanly of the lot of you.



Sookie Stackhouse: Kenya! My boyfriend’s been vampnapped! Please help!

Deputy Kenya Jones: Help? Have you met any of the police on this show?



Terry Bellefleur: Don’t worry, cousin! Killing a guy doesn’t have to make you crazy! Crazy eyes.

Andy Bellefleur: Um, thanks for that.

Arlene Fowler: Wow, sure sucks how we all keep falling in love with murderers.

Tara Thornton: Wow, sure sucks how you’re a racist bitch.

Lafayette Reynolds: I’m just gonna borrow this tequila right here and call it a night.



Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Please don’t die!

Some Skanky Trucker: Wow you suck.

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Here, have some vampire blood! I’m sure this won’t lead to unforeseen, awkward, and humorous consequences!

Sookie Stackhouse: Help, Vampire Bill’s been kidnapped! And I didn’t even get to tell him I’d marry him!

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Wait, you’re getting married? Starts humming Here Comes the Bride.



The Fuck You Crew: Has stripped Vampire Bill – and themselves – naked, and is sucking his… blood… while careening down the highway. Also, they’re spitting… blood… into each other’s mouths.

Vampire Bill: I must strongly protest!



Andy Bellefleur: Jason, we have to act normal, so that no one notices the giant, gaping holes in the story I told! So none of this “new Jason” crap! Conscience off, dick on!

Jason Stackhouse: All right, if I have to get laid, I have to get laid. Goes off to get laid.



Vampire Pam: Why Sookie, lavender is such a lovely color on you…

Sookie Stackhouse: No time for lesbian weirdness. Where’s Eric?

Vampire Pam: Having sex in the dungeon.

Eric Northman: Is having sex in the dungeon.

Team Eric: Squee!

Team Bill: Squee!

Thomas: Yes, that’s right. Eric is so hot that even Team Bill squees for him. Get used to it.

Sookie Stackhouse: Anyway, Thomas’ man-crush aside, have you or vampires known to you kidnapped my almost-fiance?

Eric Northman: Hey, that’s a great idea! But, no, I didn’t. But I’ll find out who did. Damn Sheriff-type duties.



The Fuck You Crew: WooHoo! Wheeee! Yipee! Being high on V is great!

Vampire Bill: Do you recall that I mentioned I was rather weak, nay, near second death, due to the quantity of blood you have drained from me? It pains me to admit that I may have exaggerated my condition slightly. Neck snaps all around, car crash, painful vehicular extraction.

Vampire Bill: Jessicuh! </vampire-mind-meld>

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Oh, shoot.



Lafayette Reynolds: Hey Tara, just mix these narcotics with this booze, and you’ll be just fine. Bottoms up!

Sookie Stackhouse: Tara! What’s wrong?

Tara Thornton: It’s Eggs… somehow he got this crazy idea that The Boring Ass Menad made him kill a buch of women and cut their hearts out, and then Andy shot him in the head.

Sookie Stackhouse: Oh… crap.



Eric Northman: So, good buddy… I asked you, nice and polite, to kidnap Vampire Bill… and you tell me someone else kidnapped him? I am seriously considering eating you, so you better clean this mess up.

Vampire Pam: Well, if that’s all for tonight, I’m going to go bury myself until this whole things blows over. Have fun explaining things to the Queen!



Vampire Bill: Sam Merlotte! I require your assistance!

Sam Merlotte: Vampire Bill? How did you find me in this motel?

Vampire Bill: You have had my blood, and we are now intimately linked. Very… intimately. Also: you have a whole mess of gay sex dreams coming your way.

Team Sam: Squee!



Hoyt Fortenberry: I can’t believe Momma lied to me all these years! But I sure am glad I know the truth now. The truth has set me free!

Jason Stackhouse: Hoyt, if I learned anything from my three days as a born again Christian, it’s that the truth is bullshit.



Momma Thornton: Dear Jesus, thank you for killing Eggs so that I have a chance to reconnect with my daughter!

Lafayette Reynolds: Yeah, that sure was a miracle, the way his brains ended up all over the pavement.

Thomas: Well, actually…



Sookie Stackhouse: Sheriff, can you help me find Vampire Bill? Pretty please?

Sheriff Bud Dearborn: No, I’m a racist redneck, like the rest of my staff. Sorry about that.



Sam Merlotte: Hey Tommy! Are you my brother?

Sam’s Brother Tommy: Who me? Nope!



Rev. Daniels: You see, Tara, the Lord works in mysterious ways. All of these terrible things, the murders, the boring ass orgies, Eggs turning out to be a serial killer and getting shot in the head, it was all for your benefit! Praise Jesus!

Thomas: Stuff like this is part of why I don’t go to church any more.



Vampire Bill: Claws his way out of the ground. This is much more fun when Suhky is waiting above ground, so that we may have dirty, infection causing relations.



Jessica the Teenage Vampire’s Phone: Rings.

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Bill?

Hoyt Fortenberry: No babe, it’s me. I’d like to see you, if you don’t mind.

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Sorry, I’ve got to hide a body wash my hair tonight.

Hoyt Fortenberry: Sadface.



The Magister: There has been a sharp increase in the sale of vampire blood, and since I regard out blood with holy reverence, this makes me sad. And angry. And homicidal.

Eric Northman: Why, that’s shocking. You’d almost think The Queen was having her Sheriffs sell vampire blood for some nefarious purpose.

The Queen: Nervous laugh.



Jason Stackhouse: Hey Hoyt! These are the Doublemint Twins. They’re doggy shrinks. Hey girls, use your shrink powers on me! What am I thinking about?

The Doublemint Twins: Sex.

Jason Stackhouse: Wow, you girls are amazing!



The Magister: So anyway, find the vampire selling our blood so I can publicly execute him/her/it. Tootles!

The Queen: Wow, thank god he’s gone! Anyway, I’m broke and the IRS is hounding me, so I need you to sell even more blood, okay?

Eric Northman: …odindammit.



Vampire Pam: Hey Sookie! Here’s a whole bunch of money, so you’ll become dependent on Eric. Speaking of… orgasmic shudder… vampire Makers can psychically call their Progeny. This will become a plot point very soon.



Vampire Pam: Hey Lafayette! Here’s more vampire blood than you can reasonably sell in a twenty four hour period! You’ve got twenty four hours to sell it! Be back for the money tomorrow night!



Sookie Stackhouse: Hey Jessica! Has Vampire Bill ever given you an orgasmic shudder?

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: …

Sookie Stackhouse: Great! Road trip!



Vampire Bill: Brains… blood…

Sweet Old Innocent Lady: Oh my, you look like a man in need of assistance! Come on in and let me fix you something to eat.

Vampire Bill: Ma’am, your hospitality is truly ingratiating. Also: Fangs!



Momma Thornton: Thank you for helping my daughter, Rev. Daniels! Sexy time now?



Jason Stackhouse: So… sexy time is great and all, but every time I look at you I see big bullet holes in your heads.

The Doublemint Twins: Hey look at the time got to be going see you later bye bye!



Vampire Bill: I was never here, and I certainly didn’t fang you. Also, here’s a wad of cash to assuage my guilt. Loooook into my eyyyyyyyyyyes. </dracula>



Lafayette Reynolds: Hey Momma Thornton, where’s Tara?

Momma Thornton: Overdosing on pills in the shower. Why?



Sookie Stackhouse: So, any idea what this vampnapper’s neck branding means?

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: Well, my Droid’s Guide to Viking Ruins says that it’s related to Operation Werewolf, which is in no way connected to Eric Northman, Fangtasia, or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

Sookie Stackhouse: Wow, that’s a lot to fit into one rune.

Jessica the Teenage Vampire: I know, right?



Vampire Bill: Is surrounded by werewolves.

Vampire Bill: Hey boys, guess who just ate? Fangs!



The Plot: Thickens.
