While last night’s episode (episode 8, Time Bomb) was just as freaking OMG edge of your seat as it looked to be in the previews, season two’s episode 9 appears to be just as squee worthy.

Entitled I Will Rise Up, episode 9 will resolve this week’s cliffhangers… we hope, not that Alan Ball likes letting us off easy at the end of the show. Fan chatter indicates that ancient teenager Godric is a fangbanger favorite, and while Alan Ball insists Sookie and Bill’s relationship is “core” for the show, it looks like Eric’s interference might be taking a bit of a foothold.

(Now, before you go all shipper on me, remember, fangirls and boys, that Bill is not Prince Valiant the Vampire like he seemed for at least the first season. As the show let us see, he he had very few qualms about frolicking and flopping around a convulsing and hemorrhaging dying flapper for Lorena’s amusement.)

Below, the official season two, episode nine recap and preview. Go, Nan Flanagan!

A wounded Eric plays Sookie for a fool, to Bill’s dismay. Later, Sookie and Jason reminisce about their recent adventures, and end up bonding. Blaming Eggs for Tara’s bruises and bizarre behavior, Lafayette and Lettie Mae try to figure out a way to pry their kin from Maryann’s grasp. Hoyt defends his relationship with Jessica. In Dallas, Eric and the vampires defend their recent actions to Nan Flanagan, and are stunned when Godric decides to take responsibility for their PR disaster.

Comic Con attendees and observant fans eagerly awaiting True Blood Season 2 Episode 7 (titled Release Me) peeped an extended teaser this weekend that appears to drop some interesting bombshells.

Fangirls and Sookie/Eric shippers (represent!) will be most intrigued by a split-second shot of a very contended Sookie in bed with what appears to be OMG our favorite viking vampire Sheriff of Area 5 (1:23). Also spotted in the teaser- vamp advocate and Bill Maher guest Nan Flanagan looking less than Today-show ready, Sookie laying her smack down on “vampire ho” Lorena, and Maryann pulling her bail yo’ ass out of jail schtick. Another disturbing snippet sees Eric writhing in pain whilst shackled to an altar in silver chains. Nooooo!

Amid the respective cries of “Beeeeel!” and “Suckeh!” it’s pretty difficult to work out any real spoilers, and we all know HBO is staffed with wizards when it comes to creating misleading and action filled trailers. It was honestly the most exciting 1:37 of my life.

Comic-Con also saw the unveiling of a new product tie-in for the show- a replica of Tru Blood that’s really a blood orange soda priced at $4 a bottle. And one last note for book fans- series creator Alan Ball put the kibosh on any hopes of seeing the undead man from Memphis on the small screen. Ball feels it would be impossible to suspend disbelief enough on TV to have beloved Bubba be a viable character on the show adaptation. Burn.

While topping episode 6 (Hard Hearted Hannah, as crooned by Guillame) will be pretty hard, episode 7 looks like it’s going to be pretty fierce, too.

In keeping with the sexy vibe of the show, teaser footage has become increasingly tantalizing. In the latest installment, we see Jessica’s tumultuous reunion with her conservative homeschooling family, both Bill and Eric trying to lay claim to Sookie, and Eric having a bit of a tantrum with what looks like highlight-foils in his hair. Jason gets his Fellowship of the Sun on and Maryann is clearly doing something to lead the townsfolk astray. Bill broods. Like, at everyone.

Can’t wait a few more hours? Check out the newest trailer below. And if you missed any of the first season, there are some very, very funny (and thorough) recaps here to get you up to speed.
