True Blood Episode 1.6 “Cold Ground” Recap
Air Date: Oct. 12, 2008
We pick up with Sookie finding Gran dead and Bill’s there shortly after – awkward. And so is Sam. This is all very uncomfortable. Sookie tries to wrap her head around everything and Sam tries to comfort her. He’s sorry for the fight they had and Sookie has a great line as she asks if Sam could apologize to her some other time.
Sam and Bill of course have to bow up to each other. Sam threatens to kill Bill if anything happens to Sookie. The local authorities interview Bill, who says he doesn’t think Gran was the intended victim. Sam stays with her because Bill has to get home before dawn. Sookie refuses to leave the house and even begins cleaning the place up. Of all the disturbing images this show throws at us, just the simple one of Sookie cleaning up her own grandmother’s blood is going to haunt me for a minute.
There are “friends” all around the house later to pay their respects. Sookie can read their thoughts and hears them talking about how crazy she is.She snaps when Maxine Fortenberry touches Gran’s pecan pie, then goes upstairs and has a talk with Tara and Lafayette. Jason goes to work and his friends ask what’s he doing there – he doesn’t know.
Jason hits Sookie and says it’s all her fault. Tara goes off on him and throws him out. Later, she throws everyone out. Bellefour wants to know what Jason was up to the night of the murder. Jason throws the detective into a truck. Did I mention that boy is not bright? Bill has a dream that someone is strangling Sookie and rushes to her side, but she’s OK.
Estranged Uncle Bartlett shows at the funeral, by Jason’s invite. Sookie’s upset but Jason suggests she give Unc a break. The thoughts of people overwhelm Sookie and she tells them to shut the *blank* up and runs away. Tara’s drunk mama (although not drunk at the moment) delivers her own unique eulogy and then asks Tara for money to help rid her of the “demon” inside. Yeah, that doesn’t go well.
Jason battles his addiction, throwing the V away and then crawling around on the ground after it. Sam walks Sookie home, where she tells him she needs to be alone.
Sookie finally brings herself to eats Gram’s pecan pie. Both feeling lonely, Sam and Tara hook up again and this time there are emotions involved. Sookie runs across the fields to Bill’s house. They make love and she asks Bill to bite her. He obliges Tara hears Jason and his new girl in the act and then runs away from Sam. She goes to see her mother, who says she knew Tara would come.
Can’t find the episode on the net, I’m from spain and I’m hooked since 1st episode. Usually episodes are up very fast Monday morning but I don’t know what happens with episode 6…
need my fix !!!!
HBO has picked up the second season option so it looks like a lot of folks are hooked, Sanders.
i still watch the show and i empathize with Sookie about the funeral. You just want everybody to give condolsence(sp) and go away.
Was I the only one that was a little grossed out by the tongue at the end? Poor Sookie with those crazy people and how ghoulish they were especially the one that wished she came sooner so she could see the body.
