True Blood Preview: Fresh Blood

True Blood’s third season is winding to a close and the stakes are getting higher (and pointier if you’re a guy who happens to cross Russell’s path.) We have an episode description and some clips from the episode to share with you.

The description and the videos below have some vague spoilers but nothing that should ruin the episode for you if you’re caught up on the season.

Here’s what HBO had to say about Sunday night’s episode:

“Fresh Blood”
Debut: SUNDAY, AUG. 29 (9:00-10:00 p.m.)

Bill tries to earn back Sookie’s trust, but ends up bringing her face-to-face with fresh dangers. Knowing he’s no physical match for the King, Eric tempts Russell with the “ultimate vampire dream.” Jason tries to wrap his head around Crystal’s revelation. Sam embraces his dark side, alienating everyone except Tara. Hoyt and Jessica take their romance to the next level; with Holly’s help, Arlene puts her future in the hands of a goddess; post V-trip, Lafayette struggles with new demons.

Written by Nancy Oliver; directed by Daniel Minahan.

The “ultimate vampire dream”? Could that be the ability to soak in some sun? That would make the most sense, given that it seems Eric’s ready to hand Sookie over to Russell and her blood does seem to offer that little perk to anyone who drinks it.







What say you, True Blood viewers? Will Eric go through with handing Sookie over to Russell? Will he even get the chance or is Bill going to save her before it comes to that?

True Blood airs Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
