True Blood Season 3 Episode 2: Beautifully Broken

Last week’s episode ended with Bill being surrounded by a pack of wolves. He tells them “I should warn you – I’ve fed.”

This week’s show starts off just how I like my True Blood episodes – with lots of naked male bodies!

Top 10 Highlights from True Blood Episode 1: Beautifully Broken

#10 - Lafayette saves Tara’s life when she attempts to overdose on pills because she’s so distraught over Eggs’ death. Damn I love Lafayette! He’s one of the strongest characters on the show.

And there’s more: accomplished actress Alfre Woodard has joined the show as Lafayette’s mother. Lafayette takes Tara with him to visit her. Get this: one of the aides at Lafayette’s mother’s nursing home is a hot Latino guy named Jesus that (rumor has it) will become a love interest for Lafayette. Yea, I hope Lafayette finds happiness this season – he definitely deserves it.

#9 - Bill meets the Gay Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington who rides in on a beautiful white horse. Let me tell you, the King lives in STYYLE! His mansion is gorgeous. Okay, perhaps it’s a bit over the top but I have to admire his decorating sense.

Turns out, the K of M played a part in Bill’s abduction. His reason: he’s plotting a few political moves against the Queen of Louisiana and wants Bill to work with him. When Bill refuses he issues a veiled threat against Sookie.

#8 - Sookie and Jessica go to Eric to seek assistance in finding Bill. Eric acts as if he doesn’t know what happened to Bill. He later confesses to Sookie that he lied to her. He tells her that the werewolves that took Bill are part of a werewolf pack that are infused with vampire blood. He decides to help her since the werewolves appear to be targeting her.

#7 - Baby Vamp Jessica seeks advice from Pam on how to dump a dead body that you accidentally kill. It appears that Bill hasn’t done such a good job teaching Jessica how to drink blood from a human without killing it. Oops, did I just call a human, “it”?

#6 - Yikes! Eric actually shows his humanity when Sookie cries over Bill’s disappearance! He says “don’t do that – you make me feel disturbingly human.” He then flashes back to when he tortured a werewolf during what appears to be WWII.

#5 - While at the K or M’s mansion, Bill’s maker Lorena appears. Bill, not happy to see her, light’s her fire.

#4 - Two more new characters appear in tonight’s episode: Crystal Norris (who Jason meets while out on a police call with Andy Bellefluer) and Franklin Mott, a sexy British vampire that Tara meets at Merlotte’s bar. Franklin comes to Tara’s rescue when she confronts two rednecks outside Merlotte’s.

#3 - Jessica and Hoyt are SO CUTE TOGETHER! I gotta tell you, I really like Hoyt – he cares so much for Jessica. also, it’s good to see that Jessica hasn’t lost her touch with humanity since she became a vampire. To be perfectly honest, she’s become a better person since she was turned. If you’ll remember, she was a brat when she was a human.

#2 - Good news: Sam found his family! Bad news: Sam found his family! They’re not exactly the Waltons.

#1 - Oh crap! The guy that Baby Vamp Jessica killed isn’t dead! Or more importantly, he’s undead.

The episode ends with Eric facing down a werewolf that has broken into Sookie’s home.

And here are the:

Funniest Lines from True Blood Episode 2 – Beautifully Broken:
•  When Sookie tells Jason that werewolves exist he says: “Bigfoot, is he real too? Santa?”

•  Baby vamp Jessica, while spraying air freshner over the guy she killed and talking on the phone with a saleperson says: “Do you carry chainsaws? Okay, how much are they? Um, can I rent one of those for the night?”

Question for viewers: What did you think of Snoop Dogg’s “Oh Sookie” music video after the show?
