6715b8273c6f4d91b78264826316cafcI don’t understand.  I watched the first ten minutes of True Blood and it was completely devoid of both sex and violence.  Oh sure, there’s kissing and nudity, but it never goes further.  I’m so confused.  Did they replace this show with Twilight or something?  My whole world is suddenly askew.

We open with Sam following Daphne through the woods.  She’s stripping and claiming that he has a secret and then reveals herself to be a shape-shifter just like him.  Except she shifts into a deer.  Sam is shocked (shocked!).  Daphne reveals that she saw Sam shape-shift the previous night and is happy they found each other.  Terry and Arlene stumble upon Sam and Daphne, and Daphne quickly runs off.

In Dallas, Sookie follows the mind-reading bellman.  He’s desperately trying to get away from her and she asks whether vampires can glamour him, because they sure can’t do it to her (answer: they can’t, but he pretends they can).  He warns her that Dallas vampires are much meaner than Bon Temps vamps and he warns her not to tell anyone about his powers.

Back in the hotel room, Bill is chastising Jessica for ordering her little room service treat (the guy she bite in the previous episode).  Sookie returns and Bill sends Jessica to her room on account of her being a bad, bad girl.  Sookie lies to Bill about where she was when he questions her and warns her that Dallas vamps are dangerous too.  She promises not to do anything stupid at the same time as she seriously comes onto him.  Wait....is there sex?  Well, she’s very happy that he won’t have to leave her at dawn because they’re in a vamp-friendly hotel and...there’s kissing.  But no sex.

Cut to Hoyt reading at home.  He gets a call from Jessica.  He’s happy to hear from her, but his mother (or grandmother) bursts in, chastising him for getting a girl from a *girl* late at night.  He pushes her out and then starts talking about his comic book.  Sexy.
