Scott Dunbier Story so far… At a Tru Blood plant, a shadowy figure contaminates the synthetic blood with a toxin… While on a date, Hoyt catches Jessica looking longingly at a flyer for Bon Temps High School’s senior prom. Believing she is sad about missing out on normal teenage experiences, Hoyt throws Jessica a makeshift prom at Merlotte’s... where Jessica takes a sip of the recently delivered tainted Tru Blood—with disastrous effects!
