Recap: True Blood 2.11 "Frenzy"

We open this week’s episode with a double-entendre……Bill has arrived at the vampire queen’s house to find a woman writhing on a bench while the queen’s sucking at…..her femoral artery. What were you people thinking? Down, boys. The queen, played by Evan Rachel Wood, invites Bill to join her.

Hoyt pulls Jessica off his mother and is pissed that Jessica attacked her. Hoyt takes his mother and leaves. Jessica is very very sad.

Back at the queen’s house (which is gorgeous, by the way), the queen (Sophie-Anne) wonders why Bill is rejecting her offer to share a drink and calls him a snob. Bill explains why he’s there: he wants information on how to kill a maenad. Sophie-Anne says there’s no way for Bill to kill Maryann. Sophie-Anne is using a mirror and compact. Wait….can these vampires see their reflection? Are they taking liberties with this? I can’t remember. Sophie-Anne explains that Maryann is no longer human, which is why her blood poisoned Bill. Sophie-Anne reveals that she knows all about Sookie and then invites Bill to spend the day.

Back in Bon Temps, Tara wants to save Eggs, but Sookie wants to wait until Bill comes back to help them. They hear screaming outside and Lafayette says that Maryann is coming for Tara. He grabs a gun and then cuffs Tara to a table to stop her from leaving. Lafayette goes outside to head the posse off while Tara and Lettie Mae remain inside. Lettie Mae starts to sob.

Inside Merlotte’s, Sam tells Jason and Andy about his shape-shifting ability. Sam just tells the boys to leave because they can’t stop Maryann, but Jason is gung-ho to gather weapons and fight. Oh God, Jason is so hot when he’s quoting scripture. Sam sees someone running away outside and goes out to investigate. He sees Arlene’s two young children who ask him to hide and feed them. Jason and Andy come outside, telling Sam that they’re going to leave and fight. Sam calls Jason a damn fool and then takes the kids inside as Jason and Andy drive off.
