HBO has just released two new clips from Sunday’s episode of “True Blood.” The first, despite its magical Gob Bluth-ian title, demonstrates a darker art practiced by the Authority. As Eric and Bill continue their hunt for Russell, Bill receives a call from their iStake manager informing the duo that the countdown clock is running. If Edgington doesn’t turn up by the morning, they’re as good as dead. True death dead.

Meanwhile, while Bill and Eric’s bromance  — and life on Earth as they know it — is threatened, a budding friendship begins to form between Jessica and the newly-turned Tara, as Bill’s progeny pumps up the benefits of being immortal.

“True Blood” airs Sundays at 9/8c on HBO.
