Episode Synopsis


A teenage couple races down a deserted road, the girl driving finds something to do with her free hand. They pass a sign that says "We Have Tru Blood." She slams on the brakes. On TV, a woman representing the American Vampire League defends herself to Bill Maher, saying that now that the Japanese have perfected synthetic blood, there's no reason to fear them. The kids tumble into the store, looking for vampires. The store clerk does his best Transylvanian accent and freaks them out. But he's putting them on. The good ol' boy in camou at the cooler listens, not finding it funny. He walks up carrying a six pack. The kid tells him to buzz off and Billy Bob makes his case: fangs grow suddenly from his teeth. The kids run off. He tells the clerk if he ever pretends to be one of them again, he'll kill him.

Sookie serves customers, walking around hearing their thoughts. She takes a deep breath and seems able to quiet them. A customer pesters a customer service woman at a Home Depot-like store. Tara gives the customer lip then quits, but not before she threatens to have her baby daddy beat up the manager for patting her ass. When the manager balks at this comment, Tara retorts that she doesn't have a baby daddy and calls the people in the store "pathetic racists."

Episode Trivia

  • "True Blood" takes its name from the brand of synthetic blood that the Japanese have patented in Harris' novels. Vampires can actually drink it, thereby bypassing their need for human blood.

  • The book that Gran is reading when Sookie comes home from the bar is by Charlaine Harris, the author of the Southern Vampire Series, on which “True Blood” is based.

  • Sookie's grandmother can be seen reading a Charlene Harris novel.

  • When Sookie arrives home and is telling her grandmother about her evening, her grandmother is reading "Last Scene Alive" by Charlaine Harris, who wrote the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

  • In the first scene where we meet Sookies' granny, Adele Stackhouse ('Lois Smith' (I)), she's reading a book. The book is "Dead Until Dark" by Charlaine Harris, the book the series is based on.

Movie Connections

  • Gone with the Wind (1939)

Incorrect Fang Placement

  • In the very first episode of the show, the first vampire that we see doesn't have his fangs in the right place. They need to be shifted up where the canine is and not on the lateral incisor.
