SPOILERS: Where’s Alcide?

TV Guide answers the question several fans were asking after the True Blood season premiere: Where’s Alcide?

NATALIE: He’ll show up in Episode 3, but he will be “spoken for,” as they say, which will provoke an interesting reaction from Sookie. Nevertheless, Sookie will need his help. “The great thing about Sookie is that she drags him off on all these adventures,” Joe Manganiello tells us. “She’s the key in unlocking that reluctant hero inside of him and he recognizes that as a good thing.”
