We all know waiting for the June 13th Season Three premiere of HBO’s True Blood sucks, and to help ease the pain, we have brief descriptions of Episodes 1-3 (aka 25-27). If you’re the type who avoids spoilers, then you’ll want to proceed reading at your own risk.

First an overview courtesy of Spoiler TV:

With the assistance (and often hindrance) of locals – including her newly inspired brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten), shape-shifting boss Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), in-mourning pal Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley), Tara’s vamp-linked cousin Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), on-the-wagon detective Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer), vampire sheriff Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård), and teen vamp Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll) – Sookie desperately tries to locate her fiancé as Season Three opens, ending up in a netherworld of human and undead interlopers, among them the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare), and his followers, a pack of vicious werewolves who feed on vampire blood.
