'True Blood's' Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) appears to have more powers than reading minds. In 'Trouble,' the waitress is able to fend off attackers with a powerful blue light. WATCH VIDEO below.
The gap-toothed vixen who is constantly being fought over by werewolves and vampires appears to be some kind of super hero who can triumph over the undead and vicious dog-men with mind games and a weird blue light.
Or so that's what the latest episode of "True Blood" would have you believe.
The fifth episode of the southern vampire dramedy, titled "Trouble," unraveled at the King of Mississippi's royal abode, where Russell's right-hand man, Talbot, minced around unleashing a string of bons mots ("You're not supposed to bring work home," he simpers to the vampire king) and Tara was held captive by Franklin, who has proven he can text expletives at an amazing speed.
Turning up the heat in Russell's den, Eric Northman stops by for a visit to stir things up. On a tour around the house with a flirtatious Talbot, he finds out the vampire head may have stolen his family's crown jewels (literally) back in the Viking days. Actor Alexander Skargard was able to put his Swedish mother tongue to good use in the flash back sequence in which werewolves and a mysterious cloaked shadow ransack his house and kill his family.
Bad memories aside, Eric appears all too pleased when Bill tells him Sookie no longer belongs to him. But it seems Sookie’s ex spoke too soon as he proceeds to freak out when he is told his blond gal pal is playing musical beds with her werewolf guardian, Alcide (not true - Alice is too busy having "Cops"-like arguments with his trashy ex).
Bill shows up at Sookie's hotel to do some reconnaissance and to warn her to save herself as Russell is coming to get her. But he’s a little too late. Russell turns up with his minions, who attempt to kidnap the unsuspecting waitress.
But the damsel in distress looks as surprised as everyone else when she blasts her attacker off with a strange blue force field. We all knew she could read minds, but this is ridiculous – is Sookie Superwoman in disguise?
Meanwhile Jason Stackhouse, dressed as a bible salesman, covers himself in ink while pulling desk duty at the sheriff's office. Bored with the pencil-pushing life, he soon drops his shirt, just in time to sweep the mysterious blond Crystal out of her pick-up.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Alan Ball won't confirm if Crystal is a were-panther as in Charlaine Harris' books. But if she is, the inter-species dating doesn't seem to bother her as she and Jason make out in moonlight following his attempt to pull her over while posing as a shirtless cop.
But Jason wasn't the only one getting some nookie this week.
Forget the love triangle between Sookie, Bill and Eric. Lafayette and Jesus are adding some much needed steam to the stale romances of Bon Temps.
Jesus, the orderly who looks after Lafayette's mom at her nursing home, makes an unannounced visit to Merlotte's, causing the chef to worry that his mom has kicked the bucket. It turns out he just wanted to ask the diva out, much to Lafayette's pleasant surprise.
Despite his pugnacious exterior, Lafayette is charmed by Jesus' constant string of compliments. At one point, Lafayette asks him not to make him look bad during a game of pool.
"I don't think that's possible," Jesus says batting his eyelids.
A little less charming, Sam's brother Tom, who is currently working as a waiter at Merlotte's, is busy trying to seduce Jessica, who is still pining after Hoyt.
Best line of the episode? When Jessica points out Hoyt to Tom, he quips: "He looks like he got bombed by radiation on the way to middle school."
