* SPOILERS* S3 E2 Beautifully Broken

The casting call for True Blood’s second episode of season 3 just arrived in our inbox and features even more new characters to speculate about. This episode is titled “Beautifully Broken” and was written by our girl Raelle Tucker to be directed by Scott Winant.

Ready for some character spoilers?

In this episode we’ll meet Crystal Norris, a recurring character who is described as “mysterious and hauntingly beautiful”. She shares a connection with Jason but has no lines in this first appearance. In the books, Crystal is a resident of Hotshot, the local were community, who ultimately has a very strong connection to Jason. Also showing up for the first time in this episode is Calvin Norris, the 40-something leader of the community of Hotshot. Looks like we’re going down that road!

We’ll get a flashback to WWII Germany where we’ll see a Were-Bitch (female were) in her 20s or 30s. She pleads for help from American soldier Sergeant Kinney, then suddenly transforms.

Furthering the storyline with Sam’s search for his family, Melinda Mickens appears in this episode. She’s in her 50s and dirt poor. She’s hung-over and lives in a shanty, and she’s a strong recurring role. Joe Lee Mickens, Melinda’s husband, also shows up in this episode. He’s poorly educated but figures out Sam’s link to his wife.

Remember the private facility for the mentally impaired from our first round of spoilers? We’re back with Ruby Jean Reynolds, an African-American woman in her late 40s to early 50s is clearly deranged. She’s intensely religious and viciously homophobic. Wait a minute – “Reynolds”? “Homophobic”? Sounds like a Lafayette storyline is emerging.

Meanwhile, Tara gets into a confrontation with a pair of hillbillies, Shane and Kris, who disrespect someone who died recently (Eggs?). When one of the jerks refuses to apologize, Tara proceeds to beat him up.

And finally, we get a little insight into the biker gang previously mentioned as a character known as Creepy Biker is revealed as a werewolf and menaces Sookie. Too bad for him, she’s not the easy victim he anticipated.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH, The anticipation is killing me.

Yay for spoilers I can't wait for season 3 to start!

I'm such a sucker for spoilers. These are great!

The bit with the "were-Bitch" almost sounds like a setup for Quinn's mother. It doesn't say what kind of were - a were-tiger perhaps? But surely it's too early for that. Maybe it relates to Sam's family, although he is not a were but a shifter.

But in the casting call I doubt they would make that distinction right now. It could also be a setup for Quinn's mother, but that seems a bit old, doesn't it? I mean, World War 2 seems more like a grandmother but I guess Quinn could be old enough. I am confusing myself, I think.

Maybe the "were-bitch" could just be a shifter or something, but you could be right Fairy. I wanna know now! I think this smiley explains my intense anticipation

Yeah Tif. It's so hard to tell with AB. He goes so far off the book path sometimes, you can never tell what he'll do. But you're right about the time. It probably would be too long ago for Quinn's mom. But why have a were bitch scene all the way back to WWII? Go figure. Or, maybe someone's just pulling our strings.

I just don't know. Maybe it really doesn't mean much but just gives us a little more insight to the weres. That just really bugs me, I want to know what the were bitch is there for.

Really looking forward to S3 now. So many new things. AHHHHHHHHHHHh, 4 months left.

omg i love spoilers. thanks for posting.

I don't think it is Quinn's mom, because this is WWII, but it could be a set up for the Calvin Norris story. Calvin is in his fifties, so this may part of his back story.

I doubt we will see weretigers. They had already made Debbie a Werewolf, I think they will make most of the weres wolves.

All I know, is this is gonna get real interesting.

I agree, this is going to be very interesting. Also, a were tiger would not be referred to as a "were-bitch" the term is canine not feline. A female tiger would be a tigress or if using a generic feline term, a queen.

Just a little tid from my collection of absolutely extraneous information.

Oh, you got one of them too, huh...I play a mean game of Trivial Pursuit.

Sylvianne Chebance has been added to the cast of True Blood in Episode 2 as Were-Bitch in the flashback.

This is from the new promo they released! Wonder what kind of info we can gleaned once we are reminded of this?

I have a feeling we will see the minisode 2 in this epi

Great point Aolani. The plot thickens. June will never get here.

HBO confirmed synopsis...


Russell Edgington, the Vampire King of Mississippi, concocts a plan to consolidate his power. Eric remembers his past; Sam tests the strength of his family bonds; Tara finds an ally in a shady vampire named Franklin Mott. (Written by Raelle Tucker; directed by Scott Winant.)
Playdates: 20, 22, 23, 26 and 30

Perhaps Bill is crucial to Russell's plan.

I think Bill plays some part in his plan for sure.
Do you think Russell's plan includes taking out QSA?

Ooo, I think it is possible. Maybe he found out about the the selling of V and he threatened her. Perhaps that is why she was so angry with Eric when she found out Bill knew he was having Laf sell it.

I think you guys are on to something with this theory. It makes sense.

Regarding the pic posted in the Bill Temple by BlueBell depicting Bill being tortured on the floor, I wonder who the girl is who is kneeling on the floor. She almost looks like Debbie Pelt. We know from the books that Debbie Pelt took part in Bill's torture while he was held captive.

I don't know from which episode the pic was taken.

I didn't notice it during the episode, but Hunter is listed under Hadley. I can't wait to meet him

I didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out Raki.
