Summaries of True Blood Episodes 31-35 (Spoiler Alert!)
Season Three of Alan Ball’s “True Blood” has been hot and heavy and loaded with surprises, and from the synopses released today by HBO for Episodes 31-35, it shows no signs of slowing down in the slightest.
Thanks go to The Ausiello Files on EW.com for the lowdown; just beware that spoilers abound in the summaries. Sadly, these episodes take us almost to the end of the season (it’s short but sweet), and there’s no mention of Franklin. I hope we haven’t seen the last of him; he’s my favorite new character so far!
