From the looks of things, it appears we might have Eric and Sookie in an episode together in episode 5. Unfortunately, Queen King Bill will be there too. (Oh goody…I get to recap that one! LOL)
In Episode 8, it looks like the fairies will make a “triumphant” return. And I wonder what is up with Salome in Episode 7?
What are your thoughts? Share ‘em below!
UPDATE: Here are the “official” episode summaries from TV Line.com!
SUNDAY, JULY 1 “We’ll Meet Again”
Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) and Bill (Stephen Moyer) have doubts they will survive the search for Russell (Denis O’Hare). Sookie (Anna Paquin) opens up to Alcide (Joe Manganiello). An irate Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) unwittingly puts Sookie’s life in danger. At Authority headquarters, Roman (Christopher Meloni) and Salome (Valentina Cervi) continue interrogating Nora (Lucy Griffiths) about the Sanguinistas – and a possible traitor within the Council. Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) forces Tara (Rutina Wesley) to toe the line; Andy (Chris Bauer) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) go to a burlesque party; Sam’s (Sam Trammell) shifter friends invite him for a run; Terry (Todd Lowe) flashes back to a deadly night in Iraq; Hoyt (Jim Parrack) tests the fangbanger waters; Sookie drowns her sorrows.SUNDAY, JULY 8 “Let’s Boot and Rally”
With time running short, Bill and Eric enlist Sookie to probe for clues on Russell’s hiding place. Unable to deal with the demon magic inside him, Lafayette calls out to Jesus’ spirit for help. Patrick Devins (Scott Foley) and Terry are held hostage in a bunker belonging to their Iraq War buddy Brian Eller (Brian Geraghty). Jason wakes to a disturbing dream; Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) gives Tara advice on adjusting to vampire life; Sam visits Luna (Janina Gavankar) with bad news.SUNDAY, JULY 15 “Hopeless”
The aftermath at the asylum leaves Sookie with an eerie sense of foreboding. At Fangtasia, Pam breaks up a vamp-girl fight, praising Tara for her tenacity. Lafayette visits Ruby Jean (Alfre Woodard), who also received a disturbing message from Jesus. Fearing for his family’s safety, Terry blames his curse for his troubles with Arlene (Carrie Preston). Alcide challenges J.D. (Louis Herthum); Sam offers to help Andy investigate the recent shootings; Roman lays out his plans to take out Russell.
What does it mean that Sookie embraces her human side? I figured it would be her fairy side. What I find annoying the most, every summary starts out with Eric and Bill, ugh. Is it so much to have Eric in a scene without the leech plastered at his side?
I have no idea, but maybe this is when she flashes back to when she encounters (hehe) those bullies when she was a child? Just a thought…
I agree…ENOUGH of Eric and Bill already. We just want Eric.
And it doesn’t look like Eric and Sookie will have any scenes together until the 5th episode. Either way, Bill will always be there. I’m so ready for this season to be over now…lol!
LOL
Luckily for me, these 12 weeks usually go by pretty fast. I’m just going to focus on Eric and Pam, only way to get through it. There might possibly be some alcohol involved as well…lol!
the summer always seems to fly by for me too. Good plan all-around!
there might be some drunken recaps happening around here 
LOL, I bet. Yeah, it usually takes forever for the season to start, but when it finally does, it goes by really fast. I’m okay with that.
Bill and Eric bill and eric, thats like in every episode. I so hate this bromance, just let bill be in every eric scene, because the writers seem to think beehl will get more popular this way…
Oh god no!! No Sookie & Eric scenes until episode 5 . Wow they really did go a different way this season . Not impress just yet . Tomorrow we shall see .
First of all, Thanks for posting the eppys summaries. Although if I remember back to other seasons, sometimes the summaries don’t tell all of what is happening, so maybe some of them might be misleading. I agree, too much of Eric and Bill, although it seems from what both Alex and Steven have said, it will be more of a tolerance than a bromance between them. Well, the only thing that I am sure of is that, tomorrow is the night it all begins for the summer. As always, the summer just flies by and then we’ll all be analyzing the season and waiting for season 6 to arrive (hopefully, there will be a season 6).
True, there’s a lot that’s misleading or missing from the summaries, so we don’t really know what will happen in each episode. And a tolerance between Eric and Bill is better and more realistic than an actual bromance at this point. I guess we’ll see…let the chaos begin…TOMORROW! I can’t wait!
I know it will be way much better to have the Viking god alone every time but at least this way, knowing what the producers are capable of, we will have more air time if they Are together, I will just ignore the queen and give all my attention to the god!!
And at least if Bill is stuck with Eric, that means less scenes of him with Sookie as well. I’ll take what I can get.
Beehl and Eric, Beehl and Eric, Beehl and Eric. I’m already sick of Beehl and the freaking show hasn’t even started!
