True Blood Mystery – Who Kidnapped Bill?
So, who do you think kidnapped Bill in the season finale of True Blood Season 2?
If you’ll remember, Sookie and Bill were enjoying a romantic dinner alone. Bill had gone to the trouble of renting out an entire restaurant for the event. Bill is such the Southern gentleman isn’t he?
Bill and Sookie have a wonderful time together. He looks fantastic in his tuxedo and Sookie looks gorgeous in a lilac dress that he bought for her (didn’t she look great?).
And then the big moment occurs: Bill proposes to Sookie and gives her a ring.
She’s shocked of course (as are we) and doesn’t immediately give him an answer. Instead she excuses herself and goes to the ladies room. While there she ponders his proposal and looks lovingly at the ring. She then makes up her mind – she’s going to accept!
She bounces out of the ladies room only to find Bill gone. Vanished. As if he’s disappeared into thin air.
But we know different. We saw that a silver chain had been wrapped around his neck from behind and that he’d been forcefully pulled away.
So, WHO DUN IT?
The Likely Suspects
- Eric: throughout True Blood Season 2 Eric appears to resent the relationship between Bill and Sookie. He makes a pledge to the Queen of Louisiana to “get Bill” for her. Which leads me to the next suspect.
- Queen Sophie: I’m not sure what the Queen has against Bill. Perhaps she’s annoyed that he’s not big on toying with humans like she is. Perhaps she’s pissed off because he didn’t bow and scrape in front of her. Not sure what’s going on with her but she may very well have had a hand in his abduction. Perhaps she and Eric are working together?
I personally think both Eric and Queen Sophie are too obvious and probably aren’t directly responsible. If you’re a True Blood fan you know that Alan Ball doesn’t do obvious. He’s always full of surprises. Therefore, I’m going to suggest something else.
Other Potential Kidnappers
- Lafayette: yes, it’s perhaps a stretch but I wonder if Lafayette does this at Eric’s command. Think about it, would Eric himself kidnap Bill? No, he’d have someone else do his dirty work for him. If Lafayette kidnapped Bill it would create a different angle on the relationship between he and Sookie. It would also provide Eric with a steady source of V which he’s forcing Lafayette to sell. He could slowly drain Bill until he dies. Or at least, that would be the plan.
- Leona: when we last saw Leona she was shunned by Bill. I was a bit surprised at that since she’s Bill’s maker. I wouldn’t think he’d be powerful enough to do that. Also, if you’ve read the books you know that Leona plays a significant role in Bill and Sookie’s relationship. I won’t say more in case you haven’t read Book 3, Club Dead.
- Tara: Tara was pretty devastated when Eggs was killed in the True Blood finale. Could Tara be jealous of Sookie and Bill’s relationship? I think this one’s a pretty big stretch but I thought I’d throw it in for giggles. Also, I’m not totally convinced that we’ve seen the last of Maryann’s influence. I wouldn’t be surprised if maenads aren’t somehow reincarnated in some way.
- The Fellowship of the Sun: if I’ve said it once I’ve said it 10 times: the vampires should have taken out Steve Newlin and Sarah Big Hair when they had the chance. The Fellowship of the Sun won’t stop simply because the vampires were merciful. Case in point, even though the vampires let members of the group live they still booby-trapped one of their followers (sorry, I can’t seem to remember his name) and sent him on a suicide bomber mission. By the way, isn’t booby-trapped one of the funniest words around? When I think of that word I envision some big breasted female villain from a bad 70’s B-movie who has some poor guy trapped between her . . . oops, sorry – I digress. Nonetheless, I think it’s highly likely that they’re responsible for kidnapping Bill.
So what do YOU think? Who do you think kidnapped Bill?
i think it has to be a human or someone that can touch silver so this rules bills maker, eric and the queen. i think the latter two are too high to get there hands dirty so to speak. so it is a high chance it could be the fellowship of the sun. there is only one way to find out, wait till HBO grace us with the next season
I agree with it has to be someone who can handle silver. I have just been on pins and needles waiting for this season to begin.
IT doesn’t follow the Charlene Harris book format at all. In those books, Eric and Sookie are together so this will be interesting to see how it pans out.
Eric, Leona and Q. Sophie are older, stronger and higher up the vampire chain of command than Bill… if they want him they don’t have to take him by force, they can just summon him. Tara has no reason to grab Bill that’s reaching. MaryAnn’s gone… she’s not coming back. The Fellowship are solid suspects and the Newlin’s sure have it in the Stackhouse’s right about now. However, my gut is telling me it will turn out to be someone we haven’t met yet, someone we will get to know in S3.
I don’t think it was any of them. I never saw the second season but I read all the books. Since the show is completely different-I really hope they follow along though because MAN they are good. In the books Bill is not kidnapped and NEVER propses to Sookie-although she DOES sort of become married to one-I just won’t say who. In the book Bill goes willing to his maker-Lorena (name change?) and she tortures him. He is deeply devoted to the Queen and never challenges Eric except once. There is too much of a difference between the show and the books though.

In the beginning of book 3, Bill is kidnapped and the Queen of Louisianna is supposedly behind it. Bill’s vampire ex-girlfriend lures him away and he goes willingly, which would be a hard sell on the t.v. show considering how things ended the last time they saw eachother. The t.v. show is proving to be very different from the books though, so I wouldn’t count on too much similarity in storyline.
i think it was the werewolf that is set to be sookies love interest in season 3
I’m pretty sure it was Leona. Firstly, she has a lot of reasons and secondly, did you guys notice that however it was he or she was wearing gloves? I don’t think that was a coinsidence.
i think it was eric he hated bill and wanted sookie for himself plus they used silver but the person who used silver couldnt touch it directly
he had on gloves
Actually, Alan Ball said they were sticking pretty close to the storyline in the books for season 3…..at least for the first half of the season! So, I predict Lorena has something to do with it,.. her and the queen are behind Bill’s kidnapping….and then Alan’s going to throw in a wicked twist toward the end! That’s my opinion.
by the way…is there something wrong with the TB Rehab forum? I just get a blank white page instead of the usual topics……
