    • Trivia
      The exterior of Russell Edgington's mansion is actually the antebellum estate Longwood (aka Nutt's Folly) in Nachez, Mississippi. The estate, which is built in the shape of an octagon, was commissioned for cotton planter Dr. Haller Nutt in 1859 and designed by Samuel Sloan, but work was halted by the Civil War and then by Nutt's death in 1864. Only nine of the 32 planned rooms in the residence were completed.
    • Goofs
      Franklin gains access to a house despite being a vampire and not being invited. The True Blood lore (like many other vampire lores) says vampires cannot enter a house without an invitation. However, that only applies to houses owned by humans.
    • Quotes

      Talbot: [serving Bill Compton] Chilled, carbonated blood. It's cruelty-free. All willingly donated. Note the citrusy finish. This one only ate tangerines for a week.
