Tonight on HBO is an all new episode of True Blood. On tonight’s show Debbie Pelt’s parents arrive in town and they are asking many questions about her disappearance. We all know that Sookie shot her and she is dead, but her parents and Alcide do not know. If you missed last week’s show called “Authority Always Wins”, 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 3 of HBO’s “True Blood”.
When we last saw our heroes Bill and Eric they were imprisoned by the Vampire Authority and the guys tried to keep their wits about them. Chris Meloni appeared as one of the members of the Authority, Roman, and he was amazing. Bill revealed to Roman that they did not kill Russell Edgington and on tonight’s show they will deal with the ramifications of not killing Russell. At the end of last week’s show we saw dead bodies everywhere and a vampire on a stretcher with blood all over him and he was licking his lips. Russell was back! We get our first real look at Russell tonight.
Official HBO synopsis of tonight’s episode: Bill and Eric barter for their lives with the Authority Chancellors and their leader, Roman. Salome and Roman enlist a new ally in the face of Russell’s return. Sookie goes to Fangtasia to ask for help from Pam, who is still caught up in her memories of Eric and the strange murders at the Comstock Brothel. Andy’s dalliance with Holly comes back to bite him in the butt; later, he’s visited by Gordon and Barbara Pelt, who are searching for Debbie. Jason bumps into an old high school teacher, but their reunion brings up conflicting feelings.
Meanwhile the Pelts are still looking for their pathologically jealous, V addicted girlfriend of Alcide, daughter Debbie Pelt and are having no luck finding her. Remember Sookie killed her after she shot Tara. Well Gordon and Barbara Pelt think Alcide knows someone about her disappearance. Alcide is suspicious and thinks Sookie knows something about Debbie’s disappearance. I wonder how Alcide is going to feel once he finds out that his newest crush, Sookie, killed Debbie.
From the preview we have seen it looks like Pam and Sookie are not getting along. At one point when Sookie comes into Fangtasia to ask for help from Pam, Pam in her Pam ways, tells Sookie, “Get out of my bar before I suck you dry.” I just love Pam she has so much personality and it was great learning about how she met Eric last week.
Although Lafayette and Sookie thought it was a good idea to have Pam turn Tara into a vampire to save her, they may be having second thoughts. Sookie is worried about Tara because she ran away and she thinks she is out there scared and hungry. Meanwhile, last week Lafayette was regretting what they did and contemplated killing Tara. I don’t think neither has to worry much about Tara. If Tara was an angry human she is an even angrier vampire. As a matter of fact from the preview we have seen for tonight’s episode, Tara is attacking someone, so I guess she is surviving just fine.
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 episode 2 of True Blood season 5!

She comes upon a girl fixing her tire on her car and the girls cuts her finger. The girls sees her and asks Tara to help and Tara’s fangs come out.
