Tonight on HBO is an all new episode of True Blood. On tonight’s show Bill and Eric meet Salome and become acquainted with the Vampire Authority’s interrogation techniques. If you missed last week’s show called ‘Turn, Turn, Turn”, we have a full and detailed recap here for you.
Spoiler alert: If you’re one of those people who doesn’t like spoilers, stop reading now! We have some juicy spoilers for you about the season 5 episode 2 of HBO’s “True Blood”.
When we last saw Tara she was going for Sookie’s throat. Tara was shot at the end of season 4 and we were not sure if she was coming back – but Lafayette convinced Pam on last week’s “True Blood” premiere episode to turn Tara into a vampire. Pam did warn Lafayette, because Tara was shot in the head, she might not be normal. In a clip for tonight’s episode “Authority Always Wins,” we see Tara trashing Sookie’s kitchen. I have a feeling she is not the old Tara anymore.
Official HBO synopsis of tonight’s episode: Eric and Bill try to keep their wits about them when they’re put through the interrogation wringer at the Vampire Authority headquarters in New Orleans. Meanwhile, Pam recalls her first meeting with Eric in early 20th-century San Francisco; Alcide turns his back on Marcus’ wolf pack; Emma’s grandmother comes between Sam and Luna; Steve Newlin wants what he thinks belongs to Jessica; and Jason’s womanizing comes back to haunt him.
We have been wondering when one of my favorite actors Chris Meloni would be first appear on True Blood and TV Line is confirming that he will appear on tonight’s episode. “Meloni’s Vampire Authority bigwig turns up this Sunday,” confirms TV Line. Chris is playing Roman, one of the oldest vampires in town.
Another new character making their debut on tonight’s episode is Rosalyn Harris who is being played by “Cougar Town“ and “General Hospital“ actress Carolyn Hennesy. Rosalyn is a member of the Vampire Authority and has been for a very long time and calls Texas her home. In a recent interview Carolyn described her character as “Big hair, a string of pearls, great gams, and a dash of whiskey in her blood cocktails (oh, how she misses steak).”
Meanwhile the situation tonight is not looking good for Bill or Eric, when they are taken to the Vampire Authority headquarters in New Orleans. Actually they are locked up in the Authority’s top-secret underground headquarters and they get to find out about the Vampire Authority’s interrogation techniques.
Tonight’s episode is going to be an exciting one that you won’t want to miss, so be sure to tune in for our live coverage HBO’s True Blood tonight at 9PM EST! While you wait for our recap hit the comments and let us know what you thought of last week’s premiere episode of True Blood season 5!
