Keep This Party Going, Episode 2

Episode 2 was all about intimate conversations between characters that usually don't talk to each other: Sam/Andy, MaryAnn/Sookie, Lafayette/Eric. I loved all of Layfayette's lines starting with Eric asking him if he has blood in his hair and how Pam will kill him if he does. Eric: "Do you want to meet her (Pam)?" Layfayette: "No, I'm good." And later on when Lafayette pleads for his life to Eric and crew, "I want to be your bad-ass vampire." The pace never slowed down and the conflict and stakes were stretched taut-- ready for Episode 3. Even within the drama, there were quite a few funny moments -- Eric and Bill running into each other in the Juniors' department at Dillards is a good example. And Andy watching dancing like a "epileptic on meth" was priceless -- what else will MaryAnn do to the good folks of Bon Temps? Speaking of MaryAnn -- how is she downing all of those hamburgers and onion rings?

After last week's episode I hoped that someone would remember Eddie the Suburban vampire -- well, he's now tormenting Jason Stackhouse's thoughts since Jason liked and respected Eddie. Eddie died at the hands of Amy Burley and Jason will never be the same. Eric noticed Eddie's disappearance (I'm glad someone did!) and captured Lafayette to get some answers. Lafayette tells him Jason probably did it, but Eric knows getting Jason can't help in his work to get Sookie to do more business for him. Jason is also torn since he knows he's a vampire sympathizer, because of Eddie and Bill (I think that him listening to Bill at the church meeting changed his mind about a few things).

I was wondering if Bill put a spell on Jessica so she doesn't leave the house -- why does she need Sookie's help to go visit her parents and try to kill her dad? Could Bill have sensed something wrong before he tore the Hamby door off of the hinges? I loved when he told Sookie to "Shut up!" and "Get the hell out of here while I clean up your mess!" Great stuff -- but I like any scene Bill is in.

Predictions for Episode 3:

Bill glamours the Hamby family -- Bill doesn't kill innocent people (now I don't know what he'll do with the dad)

Jason and Sarah Newlin have an intimate moment

Bill and Sookie fight and make up

Hoyt and Jessica hook up

Terry and Arlene hook up

Sookie finds the "new" Lafayette at Fangtasia

Eric squeezes Bill into making Sookie go to Dallas to find Godric the 2K old vampire

MaryAnn works more of her evil at Merlotte's and in the woods

Till next Sunday!
