Short on time? Here's the essentials:

In this season of "True Blood," vampires face an existential threat as humans, led by Governor Burrell, strip them of their rights and develop weapons to harm them. Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress with fairy heritage, navigates this dangerous world alongside her vampire friends, including the powerful Bill Compton and the ancient Eric Northman. Bill, after a rebirth, grapples with visions of Lilith, the first vampire, and seeks to protect his kind, even through extreme measures.

The central conflict escalates as Warlow, a powerful half-fairy, half-vampire, emerges as a major threat, seeking to claim Sookie. Key turning points include Warlow banishing Sookie's fairy grandfather, Niall, and Governor Burrell's beheading after Bill drinks Warlow's blood and gains the ability to walk in the sun. The season culminates with the discovery of Hepatitis V, a deadly vampire virus, and a desperate fight for survival. The season ends with Warlow staked by Jason, leading to the loss of day-walking abilities for vampires, and Bon Temps establishing monogamous human-vampire feeding relationships for protection.

Season 6 of True Blood covers episodes 1-10. Here's everything that happened:
