Welcome to truest blood, the official true blood podcast.

I'm Kristen Bauer, and I'm Deborah Ann Mool, and you've been invited.

I want to do bad things here.

I'm a truest blood.

Welcome back to truest blood where we sink our fangs into the series, episode by episode.

This week, we wrap up season two, dab, with episode 12.

It's named for the haunting Bob Dylan song Beyond Here lies nothing.

It was written by Alexander Wu and directed by Michael Questow.

We reach our climax of the season with a wedding for a main ad.

So we'll dive into the mythology behind the story and how the show pays homage to that history.

And then we will have the dazzling Michelle Forbes join us to talk all things, Mary.

While she plays an excellent villain on true blood, you'll also know her from just a few of her 73 career credits.

I mean, she signs every time she graces the screen and it is no exception this week on true blood.

Big day has arrived. The whole town has turned out and Marianne is all a flutter.

Sookie is the last to remain unaffected by her powers, but is nevertheless held captive by the main ad,

who busily prepares for her wedding to the God, who she knows this time will come.

As Lafayette places the finishing touches on Demetri, Bill arrives with Sam as an offering to Marianne in exchange for Sookie.

Despite Sookie's objections, the trade is made.

A frenzied egg steps forward and stabs Sam as sacrifice. Sookie lashes out interrupting the ceremony and causing Marianne to give chase.

But a white bull emerges from the dark, stopping Marianne in her tracks.
