Episode 1:
Air Time: Sunday September 7th @ 9pm
Summary: Across the country, vampires have come “out of the coffin” after the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood. In Louisiana, Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic abilities, falls under the spell of a sexy, 173-year-old vampire named Bill Compton–whose thoughts she can’t read. After saving Bill from the Rattrays, a pair of ruthless “vampire drainers,” Sookie tests the limits of Bill’s gratitude when the two are left alone in the dark. Meanwhile, Sookie’s best friend Tara quits one job to work for Sam Merlotte at his bar and grill, and Sookie’s roguish brother Jason finds himself in hot water when a “fangbanger,” whom he’s been intimate with meets a tragic end.

Episode #2:
Air Time: Sunday September 14th @ 9pm
Summary: Bill returns Sookie’s favor by rescuing her from the Rattrays’ revenge, healing the wounded waitress with his own blood and leaving her, temporarily, with heightened senses. After being invited into Gran’s house for a “get-to-know-you” gathering with Jason and her family, Bill joins Sookie for a nocturnal sojourn. They end up at Bill’s dilapidated antebellum estate, where Bill fights off his primal vampire urges for the acquiescent Sookie. Later, Sookie’s desires get the better of her as she returns to Bill’s–and is greeted by a gaggle of his bloodthirsty vampire friends.
