Before the credits rolled on the second episode of the HBO hit True Blood’s final season Sunday, fans of the vampire drama got two surprises. One, Bon Temps’ (arguably) hottest vampire Eric Northman was seen alive (!!) and he and the fictional Louisiana town’s hottest resident were finally getting it on.
It was the stuff of legend. After a bit of teasing—a belt buckle tug, a playful tackle—the two were rolling around lustfully, and making out with a bajillion candles flickering behind them.
Just when thing got really interesting, Jason Stackhouse woke up in the pew of a church—bewildered, and a little turned on.
It wasn’t the show’s first vampire-on-man sex scene (remember Bill and Sam Merlotte in the shower? Or Jason and Warlow’s sexy shave set to the sultry sounds of Miguel?), but it was certainly the most surprising. And it was probably the highlight of Sunday night’s lackluster episode.
