‘True Blood’ season 6, episode 8 preview: Warlow gives Sookie an ultimatum

What could it take in order to get Warlow to save the vampire race for good? In what should come as no surprise for longtime “True Blood” fans, Sookie Stackhouse is somehow front and center into everything. After spending almost the entirety of the show’s run constantly determining the future of Bill Compton, she now does so for the entire vampire race.

Here comes the conundrum. As the preview for next week’s episode clearly shows, Warlow wants something in return for his efforts trying to free the likes of Eric Northman and company: Sookie, forever. He, for whatever crazy reason, wants her to guarantee her hand in return for helping everyone else. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just let the relationship play out? Apparently not, and Sookie has to figure out what matters the most to her.

Also during this episode, you’ll be seeing more of Jason’s new “love interest” (if you can call her that), a vampire determined to use and abuse him. Maybe that will make him feel somewhat better / worse, considering what Jessica is currently doing with James.

In case you missed it from earlier this past week when we first posted it, take a look at the full synopsis for the hour below:

“Sookie (Anna Paquin) faces a major dilemma in deciding whether to broker a deal between Warlow (Rob Kazinsky) and Bill (Stephen Moyer). Over in vamp camp, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) gets to know Violet (Karolina Wydra), while Sarah (Anna Camp) goes to extremes to keep Tru Blood flowing. Alcide (Joe Manganiello) makes a decision that will impact the futures of Nicole (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Sam (Sam Trammell).”

The only thing we hope for now is that there’s nothing as implausible as the Governor’s daughter wearing a lab coat, and no one in the vampire camp recognizing her. (Yeah, that still bothers us.)
