'True Blood' Previews: When a Shirtless Jason Isn't a Good Thing (Video)

Ryan Kwanten as Jason Stackhouse in HBO's "True Blood."

There are very few moments when Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten) without his shirt on isn’t a good thing. HBO’s True Blood is at one of those moments.

After Episode 2, we learned that Crystal (Lindsay Pulsipher) is looking to Jason to help re-populate Hotshot with little werepanthers. We also watched as Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) found out what happens when one messes with witches. And now that we know that Bill (Stephen Moyer) is the new vampire king of Louisiana, what exactly does that role mean for him?

Here’s the official description for Sunday’s episode:

Episode #39 (S4, Ep. 3):  “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?,” Sunday, July 10

Sookie makes a deal with Eric, and reconnects with Alcide (Joe Manganiello); Bill punishes an errant vampire and counsels a guilt-ridden Jessica; Jason is cast as a reluctant savior; Tommy (Marshall Allman) eyes a scam and alienates Sam; Marnie (Fiona Shaw) flexes her newfound powers; Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) delivers an ultimatum to Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Jesus (Kevin Alejandro); Eric spoils Sookie’s faerie reunion.

Written by Alan Ball; directed by David Petrarca.
