Quick recap

Bon Temps, Louisiana. Two years after synthetic Tru Blood let vampires come out, mind-reading waitress Sookie Stackhouse meets Bill Compton, a Civil War vampire, and saves him from a pair of drainers. Women tied to her brother Jason turn up dead, and Jason becomes a suspect. Sookie's grandmother Adele is murdered too. Bill is punished by the Magister and forced to turn young Jessica. In the end, Sookie reads René Lenier's mind and learns he's the killer. Sam, as a dog, attacks him, and Sookie kills him with a shovel. Jason is cleared, but the Merlotte's crew finds a body in Andy Bellefleur's car.
