True Blood

Where we left off: Sookie was shocked to hear Bill’s unexpected marriage proposal and tearfully ran off to the restroom. When she returned, Bill had been kidnapped.

Where we find her: “It may be 35 seconds later, so she’s panicked and in a state of shock,” said Paquin. “It’s been a pretty intense half-hour of her life. She is desperately trying to figure out where he went and who has him.” Will her issues about marrying Bill carry over to Season 3? “She has issues she’s concerned about… and she quickly gets new issues,” teased Paquin.

Is there still a chance of happiness between Bill and Sookie? “Bill’s been pretty consistently well-motivated in what he’s done,” Paquin said. “It hasn’t always worked out well, but he always tries to protect her. So, that would be a very positive stroke in the Bill column. But things get revealed that contest that.”

Meanwhile, executive producer Alan Ball said the truth about Sookie’s powers and her heritage will come out “before the end of the season.”
