SPOILERS: True Blood Episode 302 Casting Call

The casting call for True Blood‘s second episode of season 3 just arrived in our inbox and features even more new characters to speculate about. This episode is titled “Beautifully Broken” and was written by our girl Raelle Tucker to be directed by Scott Winant.

Ready for some character spoilers?

In this episode we’ll meet Crystal Norris, a recurring character who is described as “mysterious and hauntingly beautiful”. She shares a connection with Jason but has no lines in this first appearance. In the books, Crystal is a resident of Hotshot, the local were community, who ultimately has a very strong connection to Jason. Also showing up for the first time in this episode is Calvin Norris, the 40-something leader of the community of Hotshot. Looks like we’re going down that road!

We’ll get a flashback to WWII Germany where we’ll see a Were-Bitch (female were) in her 20s or 30s. She pleads for help from American soldier Sergeant Kinney, then suddenly transforms.

Furthering the storyline with Sam’s search for his family, Melinda Mickens appears in this episode. She’s in her 50s and dirt poor. She’s hung-over and lives in a shanty, and she’s a strong recurring role.  Joe Lee Mickens, Melinda’s husband, also shows up in this episode. He’s poorly educated but figures out Sam’s link to his wife.

Remember the private facility for the mentally impaired from our first round of spoilers? We’re back with Ruby Jean Reynolds, an African-American woman in her late 40s to early 50s is clearly deranged. She’s intensely religious and viciously homophobic. Wait a minute – “Reynolds”? “Homophobic”? Sounds like a Lafayette storyline is emerging.

Meanwhile, Tara gets into a confrontation with a pair of hillbillies, Shane and Kris, who disrespect someone who died recently (Eggs?). When one of the jerks refuses to apologize, Tara proceeds to beat him up.

And finally, we get a little insight into the biker gang previously mentioned as a character known as Creepy Biker is revealed as a werewolf and menaces Sookie. Too bad for him, she’s not the easy victim he anticipated.
