Welcome to Truest Blood, the official True Blood podcast.

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

I want to do bad things for you.

You're a trueist blood.

Welcome back to Truest Blood, where we sink our fangs into the series, Episode by Episode.

Yes, we're so excited to talk about this week's installment.

It's entitled Sparks Fly Out, directed by Daniel Minahan.

Many people claim that this is their favorite episode from the first season.

So we'll dig into why we think that is.

Yeah, we got to talk to Shad and Lynn of the Vault.

Oh, so fun. They made a fan site at the time, so they know all about what it is to be a fan of this show.

They really had their finger on the pulse of our fans.

And then we spend a good amount of time with Alex Wu, who is the writer of this episode,

as well as a producer of the series overall.

But first, this week on True Blood.

We pick back up with Sookie and Bill as they arrive at Grans after their disaster of a date.

A fight ensues, and this time she calls it off for good.

Down the road of Pace, Tara is going off on Lafayette for giving Jason V.

Getting vampire blood to Jason's staff house is like giving whole host to a diabetic.

You know he can't control himself.

But when Lafayette goes to apologize, he instead finds himself convincing Jason to give V one more shot.

This time the right way.
