Gianna Sobol Story so far…

Hoyt rents out Merlotte's and throws Jessica a homemade prom. Things quickly turn sour when Jessica drinks a bottle of tainted Tru Blood. Jessica attacks her friends and flees into the night. Bill, Hoyt, Sam and Jason confront Jessica in the swamps of Bon Temp and try to subdue her... they fail.

Meanwhile, Sookie and Lafayette rush to Fangtasia in hopes of recruiting Eric Northman in their quest to find an antidote to the tainted Tru Blood... and save their friends life!
