Strange Love Reloaded - True Blood
End of Scene 4
An airport. A woman in heels, carrying a black hand luggage bag/briefcase, is moving down a jet bridge. She is wearing a professional looking black skirt and has a dark coat seemingly folded over her arm, though her top half and arm are outside the frame. The camera follows her through an airport hallway, moving focus from her plack pumps up her legs to her skirt.
Scenes 5+6
The airport. The woman takes a black suitcase matching her briefcase from the conveyor bag at baggage claim and attaches the briefcase to it. A name tag is briefly visible but facing away from the camera, obscuring the woman’s identity.
Scenes 7+8
The airport. The woman heads to the domestic flights exit, pulling her 4-wheel suitcase and hand luggage alongside her. As she walks up to passport control and joins the cue, the camera gains distance from her, revealing a white shirt blouse and blonde hair, presumably long but currently tied in a bun at the lower back of the head.
Scenes 9+10
The airport. The blonde woman steps up to the passport check counter and hands over her passport. We see the inside of it, though only the picture is visible. The camera moves the woman’s smiling face.
Border Patrol Official: Enjoy your stay in Louisiana, Miss Stackhouse.
The woman - Miss Stackhouse takes back her passport and leaves.
Scene 11
Scene 12 --The home of Adele (Hale) Stackhouse aka "Gran" -- Sookie and Jason's grandmother.
Sookie arrives home and finds her grandmother waiting up for her. Gran is sitting at the kitchen table, reading a book and holding Sookie's pet cat, Tina.
Sookie: Hey, Gran.
Gran: Hi, honey.
Sookie: Guess what happened tonight?
Gran: You got a date!
Sookie: Um ... no. A vampire came into the bar!
Gran (gasps): Did he have fangs?
Sookie: Yeah, but most of the time they stayed put away.
Gran: Did he bite anybody?
Sookie: No. Uh ... he just had a glass of wine. Well, he ordered it, but didn't drink it. I think he just wanted some company.
Gran: Did you like him?
Sookie: He was ... real interesting.
(Gran gives Sookie a knowing look.)
Sookie: I'll let you get to bed.
Gran: OK, honey, I just ... stayed up until you got here. Oh, and your sister has arrived.
Sookie: Eydis is here? Well, I suppose I’ll see her tomorrow. Come on, Tina.
(Gran laughs as the cat meows and follows Sookie.)

Scene 13 -- The home of Adele (Hale) Stackhouse aka "Gran" and Sookie, her granddaughter.
Sookie is sunbathing when her brother, Jason, pulls up in his pick-up truck. He quickly gets out and strides over to Sookie.
Jason: Hey! How come you didn't tell me you beat up the Rattrays last night?
Sookie: I haven't even seen you since then.
Jason: Where's Gran?
Sookie: Hanging the laundry out back -- and you keep your voice down. I don't want her to know about any of this.
Jason: Fortenberry couldn't wait till I got to work this morning to tell me all about it!
Sookie: Hoyt Fortenberry? How the heck does he know?
Jason: He went over to the Rats last night to buy some weed. And Denise drove up like she wanted to kill somebody she was so mad. The only way she would sell him any weed was if he would drive Mack to the hospital in Monroe.
Sookie: Uh huh! Well, did Hoyt tell you that Mack came after me with a knife?
Jason: ! You want me to kick his ass?
Sookie: I already took care of that, thank you.
Jason: What are you doing messing with him anyway?
Sookie: Well, did you know that in addition to dealing drugs, that the Rats also happen to be vampire drainers?! Yep! One of my customers last night was a vampire, and they were draining him out in the parking lot. I couldn't have that.
Jason: Sookie, you do not want to get mixed up with vampires. Trust me!
Sookie: Oh, shut up! Even if you hate vampires, you can't let trash like the Rats go and drain them. It's not like siphoning gas out of a car. They would have left him in the woods to die.
Jason: Who cares? He's already dead.
Sookie: That's not his fault.
(The blonde Stackhouse from the airport - Eydis - joins Sookie and Jason)
Jason: What did he look like?
Sookie: Handsome ... in a sort of... sort of old-fashioned, like from a movie on TCM.
Eydis: Who’s handsome?
Sookie: The vampire I met last night at work. Hey, Eydis, it’s so nice to see you.
Jason: Oh, hi Eydis. When’d you get here?
Eydis: Last night. I didn’t know Bon Temps had any vampires.
Sookie: He’s our first.
Jason: Was he bald-headed?
Sookie: No. He had really nice hair.
Jason: Tattoos?
Sookie: None that I could see.
Gran (carrying a laundry basket walks toward Jason and Sookie): Jason!
Jason: Gran!
Gran: Sakes alive, boy, where have you been keeping yourself? You get on over here and hug my neck.
Jason: You get here, Gran. How's my girl?
Gran: You're all sweaty.
Jason: I know.
Gran: You want some ice tea?
Jason: I would love some ice tea.
(Gran laughs)
Jason (off-camera): Here, I got it.
Scene 14 --The home of Adele (Hale) Stackhouse aka "Gran" and Sookie, her granddaughter.
Jason, Eydis and Sookie are sitting at the kitchen table, finishing lunch. Gran is in the other room on the telephone.
Jason (as he spears some food on Sookie's plate): Want the rest of that?
Sookie: Yes!
Jason: Thank you. If you're gonna wear that suit, you might want to start watchin' what you eat.
(Sookie laughs at Jason's teasing, Eydis rolls her eyes good-naturedly at her siblings antics)
Jason: You look nice.
Gran: That was Evalee Mason. Guess who was found strangled to death in her apartment. Maudette Pickens!
Sookie: Oh, my Lord.
Gran: She didn't show up for work ... wasn't answering her phone and so her boss called Bud Dearborne. He rode over, got the manager to let him in, and they found her.
Sookie: I went to high school with Maudette.
Gran: Can you believe it? A murder in Bon Temps.
Jason: Well, why are you surprised? ... now that we got ourselves a vampire.
Sookie: Just because he's a vampire doesn't mean he's a murderer!
Jason: Ah come on! Fang-bangers go missing all the time in Shreveport ... New Orleans! They never find them but everybody knows the vampires are killing them and disposing of the bodies!
Gran: What's a fang-banger?
Sookie: A vampire groupie. Men and women who like to get bitten.
Eydis (who has obviously taken offense to what Jason said): And it is not a very nice term to call someone.
Gran: My stars!
Sookie: Maudette was a fang-banger?! How do you know that?
Jason (upset): I don't know, Sookie! ... the way that you just know things sometimes!
(Jason slams his fist on the table and then gets up and crosses over to the sink and places his dishes down.)
Jason (calmer): There's also ... hookers ... who specialize in vampires. They drink Tru Blood to keep their supply up, and they keep a bodyguard there in case the vamp gets a little too frisky.
(Gran and Sookie stare at him in stunned silence.)
Jason (shrugging): I read that in a magazine.
Gran: Wonder how much one would charge for something like that?!
Jason: A thousand bucks.
Sookie: See, now that just makes me sick.
Gran: I know. What kind of cheap woman could ever do something like that?
Sookie: No, it makes me sick that they're gettin' a thousand bucks to lay there and do nothin' while I bust my ass for 10 bucks an hour plus tips.
Jason: Oh, I don't think they just ... lay there. I think they're expected to ... you know, participate.
Sookie: Ewww!
Jason: Well, um ... thanks for lunch, Gran.
(Eydis sighs and turns back to her plate, shaking her head. Jason leaves the kitchen. Sookie runs after him and grabs his shoulders, turning him around to face her.)
Jason: What?
(Silence)
Jason: What?!
(Sookie takes Jason's head between her hands and stares at him intently.)
Jason (thinking): This can't be happening to me! How could I lose control like that?! How come she...
Jason (speaking): Don't try that with me, damn it! I'm your brother!
Jason (under his breath as he leaves): Back to work.
Scene 15
The Stackhouse kitchen. Eydis is working on her laptop while Gran is reading.
Gran: Do you think he remembers the Civil War?
Eydis: Who? Sookie’s vampire? It’s possible. Depends on how old he is. One of my colleagues, Clément Bérgeac, fought with Napoleon in the French revolution.
(She smiles)
Eydis: You could ask her.
(Gran smiles back)
Gran: I think I will. And what are you doing this evening? Surely you didn’t come here to work through your vacation.
(Eydis chuckles)
Eydis: No. I think I’ll go out tonight. There’s this place in Shreveport I heard about.
Gran: You do that, sweetheart, you do that.
(Gran stands up)
Gran: Well, I’ll go see if Sookie knows about the vampire’s age.
