Quotes

Maryann: Ms. Thorton, Maryann Forrester, I've heard all about you, what a rare opportunity this is. I've always wondered what it would be like to gaze into the eyes of someone so devoid of human compassion. That you would abandon your own child when she needed you the most.
Lettie Mae Thornton: What?
Maryann: Hmm, just as I thought, emptiness, nothing inside. It's always something out there that gets the blame or credit, whether it be Jesus or gin.
Lettie Mae Thornton: Who are you?
Maryann: What I can't believe is that your daughter still manages to feel any love ...

Detective Andy and the Merlotte's waitresses find the body of Miss Jeanette without her heart in a parked car. Lafayette is still missing; actually he is chained in the basement of a house with two other guys. Sookie visits Bill and meets Jessica; Bill explains that he is teaching the young woman to be a vampire but the jealous Sookie question why he had not told him before.

Jason joins the church Fellowship of the Sun and schedules a seminar with the followers.

"Nothing but the Blood" is the opening of the Second Season of True Blood. Great part of the plot seems to be an erotic soap opera, with the boring dialogs between the insecure Sookie and her annoying fake accent and Bill. The mysterious relationship of Sam and Maryann is now clearer and the best part of this show. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
