True Blood: Trouble (S3E5)

About this episode

The episode discusses the chaotic events surrounding Franklin, Tara, and the other characters in True Blood, highlighting their struggles and interactions.

Franklin continues to be an absolute menace, and poor Tara rolls with his mood to stay on his good side. Eric pulls a Hail Mary, but fumbles when the vampire he blames is none other than Russell's newest Sheriff- BILL Compton! But Russell finds out that Bill is LYIN' to him, and is furious, putting Sookie in peril (again). Back in Bon Temps, Jason follows a siren's song (according to Ash), Terry is overjoyed by the way life is giving him ALL the normal blessings, and Jessica deals some much needed expedited karma to Arlene! Rewatch, Listen & Laugh we compare Franklin to a Buffy Favorite, we all feel validated by Talbots reaction to a certain viking, and we lose our minds at another cliffhanger!
